Getting back into dance - Dance Saturday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

 I've been getting back into stretching ever since the new year. I haven't been stretching over the Christmas holidays of course, since I've been wanting to take a break and I believe that every so often that is important to do.

However, as part of my new years resolutions, I told myself that I would try and stretch at least 5 times a week. During stretching this week, I did: lunges, splits,straddle stretches, middle splits, battements,pike position,handstand press ups, seal stretch, back bend, back walkover, and front walkover. This basic sequence of stretches has helped me to retain my flexibility and strength for future dance lessons.

 How are you keeping up with dance so far? Let me know in the comments below and I will be sure to reply to them. I ♡ hearing from you!

 See you Monday for another lifestyle post on my trip to London Borough Market,

 Bye,

 XOX, Juliette

Is trophy hunting an acceptable thing to do?- Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, A couple weeks ago, I watched a documentary by Louis Theroux which was about trophy hunting in Africa. Louis Theroux is renowned for making documentaries on controversial topics. He is excellent at filming these documentaries without imposing too much of his own opinion on the subject. If you have time to watch this, I really recommend you do because some of the things I saw were shocking and I was stunned that people were not ashamed by their actions. This is what I'm going to talk about today but if you want to watch the documentary, I'll leave the link below. It's truly worth the watch. The first place that Louis visited was a house owned by hunters from Ohio. Unable to hunt anything considered to be interesting in their own country, they went to South Africa to hunt there. They hunt things from wild boar to zebras. One lady that they interviewed was cautious at first to do the hunting, but once she managed to ki...

How to free yourself from toxic friendships- Lifestyle Monday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I have had a lot of friends in the past. I would probably say that since the beginning of school, in reception, till now, none of them have stayed. That's okay. I have made new friends. Those friends from the past have chosen different paths to me. Some paths I would disagree with but we have to accept that we are all different people with different aspirations in life. Within my current friendship group, there have been arguments and ups and downs but we also have to accept that that is part of any friendship. It's not all rocky, we have great and fun times over the majority of the time. I would say that now, I know who are my real friends and who are not. That is because I've learnt the art of freeing myself from friends I do not want to associate myself with. There have been times when I've just been clinging onto rude people in the hopes that they'll come round. In the end I just found that I was wasting m...

Not being afraid to be who you are - Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Recently, I went to the Cambridge Open Studios and visited a house that I've driven past a lot of times but have never actually been in before. It's called the Wooden House and there's a big yellow tower that you can see emerging from the trees. At first, I thought it was a house full of crazy people because it was quite an out-there place. However, when we parked up and began walking up the garden path, we were welcomed by a overpowering view of colour and art.  Everything that was made had reused parts to it. There was a fish outside made out of scrap metal and inside it, it had old harmonicas so that when there was a strong wind, the fish would make music. Inside, we were met with a lady who made a living by selling her beautiful homemade crockery. She showed us how to put coloured pieces of transfer paper onto plates and fire them in a kiln to produce a beautiful art-deco style. Whilst she was talking, I couldn...

This is a night out for us - Lifestyle Monday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  I guess we are all kind of missing going out a bit. On Saturday evening, my mum ordered some food from La Latina Bustaurante. Before this pandemic started, me and my family used love going to the bus restaurant because it served really great food and it was a fun way to treat ourselves. Plus, the clue is kind of in the title, it's a restaurant on a bus that serves Latin American food and who doesn't like that? However, with Ms Rona taking over the world (as my sister likes to say), we've obviously had to stop going so instead we went and got a takeaway. Let's be honest, we all seem to be stuffing ourselves anyway with food because we can't get away from that toxic kitchen every time we walk past it. However, we made a conscious effort to eat a light meal at lunch so that we could really go HAM in the evening. Me, my mum, and my dad got some Tostones. My parents had it with beef but I had mine with pulled pork...
