Bali 2023? This is for you…
Located on Nusa Penida
💎Diamond Beach💎
Is an incredible view point and well worth a scooter ride to the opposite end of the island!
Like all the beaches on Nusa you access it via a long set of stairs down the cliff and a few short ropes - so it’s not for the faint hearted!
On the other side you can visit the view point overlooking the beach & Diamond rock from the small religious monument or you can pay to get the usual tourist photo on the hut.
I recommend getting there for sunrise and on a clearer day than we got!
Are you visiting Bali? What’s on you itinerary ?

1 Simple Task to Change Your Day
Journaling…
At first I was sceptical ‘how much can writing down your thoughts really help’
Then I thought I needed the ‘perfect’ book to guide me through it…
But in reality I just picked up an old notepad and started writing. I choose to use the following sections:
Goals: I set realistic targets for my day, things that are achievable and I have 1 main goal which as long as that get done I am happy. But sometimes it doesn’t and that’s okay!
Worries: I like to put down anything in my head here, this allows me to put it down in front of me and see if there is an overarching feeling behind them all.
Feelings: Similar to worries but I try to isolate particular emotions here rather than scenarios. For example I might worry about missing my friends or friendships but the over arching feeling could be loneliness.
Grateful for: Finishing positively with reflecting on things that make me smile.
Have you journaled before? What headings do you use?
Let me know below!

✨Fuck What Other People Think✨
Disclaimer this is easier said than done!
We live in a world where we constantly compare ourselves to others and allow what we think they’ll think to restrict our goals, ambitions and lifestyle
In the end we’re all only here for a short time so if you want to do something go do it!
Fuck what everyone else will think, I promise you you’ll thank yourself later!
For example:
I’ve had it mentioned to me in the past by a few people to give modelling a go but I’ve always been hesitant about pursuing it or putting that idea out into the public realm out of the fear of judgement from others.
Things like;
‘Who does he think he is’
‘He’s so big headed’
Etc etc
But you know I’d like to give it a go, I don’t know if I’ll be good at it or successful but if I try then there are no regrets.
Thanks to @Andres McNeill for capturing these for my portfolio the week before my last fight.

✨Overwhelm✨
It’s that time of year again when we all are guilty for changing everything!
Building the perfect routine, hitting those gym sessions, killing it in work but if we change too much too quickly we set ourselves up for failure.
It’s natural to be overwhelmed and feel the pressure to be the new you, but if we step back, take small steps we can start setting small habits that will set us up for success.
When I reflect back on the last year, there’s loads I’d like to change but there are also times where I took my time implemented what I needed to to achieve the goals I set.
I’m guilty of punishing myself for not keeping up these strict habits and; ‘not maintaining the diet’, ‘slacking on my cocktail page’ ‘not hitting the gym’
But I need to remind myself that there’s times to push and times to sit back and just enjoy what life has to offer!

Marrakech Must See ✈️
My first solo trip this year was to Marrakech, Morocco.
I’d been wanting to go to Marrakech for a while and just booked the flights spontaneously.
This pushed me right out of my comfort zone, as while im quite a social person going into new surroundings and trying to make friends is sometime quite daunting. At least that first interaction!
But upon staying at the @rodamonhostelsbytch in Marrakech I was able to quickly meet a lot of people through just saying ‘Hi’ and knowing most people where in the same boat!
I loved this trip and met amazing people over my 5 days!
Now onto the falls, the Ouzoud falls are a few hours away from the city but well worth the trip.
I organised my tour through the hostel, the falls themselves where spectacular to see and I believe they are the second highest on the continent of Africa!
Be wary when you get there of your ‘guide’ locals usually get on the bus take you on a ‘tour’ and I use that word very loosely and ask for money at the end. You do not need this service as everything is clearly marked, just beware of the monkeys 😂
I brought my swimming shorts but due to the heavy rain they wouldn’t let me swim in the pool 🙁
Would you have swam?

Is this the end for Paesano?
I am a huge fan of Paesano Pizza in Glasgow
But
There is a new challenger in town @leopardopizza in @glasgowfort is looking to gain the crown for best Pizza on the west coast!
We had their signature ‘Leopardo Da Vinci’ pizza which is made up of double pepperoni AND BURRATA in the middle. It doesn’t get much better than this combination
We also tried the ‘Pizza Arrabbiata’ which was topped with pepperoni, nduja & chillis!
Both these pizzas were incredible and the restaurant itself was giving off ‘Don’t you worry darling vibes’ with its cool decor.
Personally I love going out for food, it’s one of the many ways I balance my life, so I’m looking forward to showing you some of my favourite spots on here!
I’ll definitely be back!
Have you tried it? What’s your favourite pizza place in Glasgow?

New Years Resolution…I’ll pass
I’m all for implementing changes in your life to aid your well-being
But the pressure to make drastic changes because a year has ended sets us up for failure and ultimately to beating ourselves up mentally
In the past I’ve given up:
- Chocolate
- Sweets
- Fizzy drinks
- Guinness
- Crisps
- Takeaways
I’ve taken up:
- Gym daily
- 10k steps daily
And you’ve guessed it I’ve never got past January without breaking them
So in summary pick something you want to implement that’s achievable and don’t set it as make or break.
If it’s a new habit, aim to not miss it two days in a row but if you do who really cares?

Sick of all the highlight reels…
Forget 2022
It was a hard year for everyone and
All you see on here is peoples highlights
So remember you don’t need to live up to preconceived goals set by society
In 2022 you didn’t need to:
- Buy a house
- Have a baby
- Get engaged
- Travel the world
- Get married
- Change job
And 2023 will be no different
We’re all on different paths in life so be proud of yours!

Not everything is always as it seems…
From the outside looking in 2022 was a great year for me;
I travelled the world with friends
Travelled solo to Morocco
Ticked off some huge goals
And had loads of amazing experiences from concerts to incredible brunches and swimming with turtles
I projected positivity over on my @theirishcocktailguy page
BUT
That’s what I allowed you to see
What you didn’t see was the lows, the loneliness, the darkness and the anxiety.
If anything 2022 was one of the hardest years for me but one of great internal growth and understanding
With 2 days to go until 2023 your feeds will be filled with posts of; ‘how great 2022 was’ , ‘my achievements for the year’ , ‘let’s smash 2023’ etc etc
But just remember
Not everything is always as it seems…
Taking 2023; one meal, one hour, one day at a time is enough, everyone is on their own path so don’t feel you have to keep up with the facade of what you see online
