TURKEY TRIP - ISTANBUL

At the end of September, I was lucky enough to scratch Turkey off my scratch map and 'list of places to go to'. I accompanied a few students on a school organised tour and we visited four cities within a span of just about twelve days, the cities being Istanbul, Bursa, Izmir and Denizli. I've rounded up a few of my favourite photos to post on my blog and I'm separating them according to city.

GALATA TOWER VIEWS

I must admit, since arriving home from Turkey, there hasn't been a day wherein I didn't scroll through some photos I took or read through the small notes I made while there. I constantly wish I could relive those twelve days over and over.

BASILICA CISTERN - MEDUSA HEADS

Walking the streets of Istanbul is amazing - the atmosphere is perfect and there's so much to see and do, I always felt like I needed a 360 view in case I missed something pretty.

Every day was a new adventure. There was never really a point during the day where we weren't doing anything (and when there was, I was probably deleting things on my phone for storage space for photos). 

CATS. CATS EVERYWHERE.

ISTANBUL BEING PRETTY

Stay tuned, I'll be posting photos from the other beautiful cities I visited soon. 

MIDWEEK LOVES

Being sick means staying at home in bed, catching up on Elementary and forgetting about the chemistry test you're supposed to be writing at that moment. It also means having time to spend on Tumblr and Pinterest. Yep, I guess being sick has some not-so-bad extras that come with the way-too-bad feeling of the actual... illness.

Missing school midweek is hard because catching up on the work I've missed is tiring and usually doesn't happen until the night before a test and I've still got three blank pages waiting to be filled with the notes explaining Newton's Laws.

Anyway, while scrolling through my feeds I gathered some inspiration I thought I'd share here.

JULY PORTRAITS

HEY EVERYONE

I took some pretty rad photos of Hanna a few days ago and I'm really happy with how they turned out.

I am yet to find a better/easier editing program than Snapseed or VSCOcam (which is what I used to edit these). It is a bit of a mission to upload the photos from my camera to my computer then send them to my phone, edit them and then send it BACK to my computer, but it's worth it at the end.

Here are a few of my favourites that I took:

I'll probably post a few more on my Tumblr, check them out! :)

MY WEEK IN PHOTOS

This week has been pretty eventful & I took a few photos to show it. Check out some others on my Instagram. Hope ya'll had a great week too! :)

The other day I made this little drink thing. I have no idea what it was but it was gooood. 

I used: a banana, almond milk, cinnamon and dates. Then I blended it with some ice and yooo frothy goodness right there! :-)

Then we took photos with the frothy goodness, obviously.
