thoughts & life & other stuff... PART TWO

Heya babes!! Mayy here... We've missed you. 

I'm sitting here having a warm cup of tea, it's raining outside, The Brady Bunch is on tv, I have a stack of homework to do, I canceled plans with friends, I tried a Pop Tart for the first time, and it was oddly unsatisfying.... and I have my first English SAC of the year tomorrow.

I've been thinking a lot lately... The two of us have been thinking a lot. A lot about the future of this blog. 

We sooooo hope that going into year 11 is not going to stop us from posting as much as we did last year because that would suck. To be completely honest, with the blur of coming back from overseas and going back to school, it's been hard to find inspiration, so I've been looking through magazines and so many other blogs just waiting for the spark of some ideas. But that's okay I guess, it happens. Through the summer holidays, I started experimenting with art a whole lot and I never thought I'd be the 'artist' type, I've always just admired it. I'm not sure how to explain it but I find that a lot of the time, especially when school starts to get hectic, I tend to crave making something, creating something, whether it be a piece of art or 5 blog posts in one go. And with that in mind, so many ideas for this blog come rushing through my head and there's just so much that I want to do with it, there's so much that WE want to do. Start being more on top of things - sending out emails to those subscribed to our Misfit Universe, not fall behind on posts because of school, try out new things - simply, experiment.

Anyways, this was just a way to express what we've been thinking sorta, along with some pretty pictures (that blogger decided to make extremely blurry) haha. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense as to why we put this together but I'm seriously sleep deprived, mostly because I stay up all night binge watching The O.C, and there's so much on my mind right now.... blaaahhhhhhhhh...

Hello sweeties!! Sabrina here, it’s been a long since I have talked to you. 

So let’s talk about life. As you might know Mayy and I have started VCE, which is a pretty significant time in our education and life. So it’s been pretty stressful studying for sacs and outcomes. But we have to be grateful to have an education and not take it for granted. 

Both Mayy and I have been talking about new and exciting ideas for our blog and how we can better the blog and our social media in the future. I’ve been seeking for inspiration by scrolling through tumblr, looking at other blogs and flicking through magazines such as Yen Magazine and Frankie Magazine. I’m pretty pumped for this year and hopeful that school won’t get to much into the way with our creativeness and activeness on our blog. It’s something I still want to pursue, both Mayy and I have so much doing this and yes, sometimes we don’t have inspiration or motivation but that’s what happens when you’re human. 

Anyways I would love to thank you guys from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us and the blog, it really makes us even more motivated to make new posts for you guys!! We are really are grateful and thankful for the support and lovely messages from you, we love you guys a lot and I hope you have a good day 💌

So much love, from yours truly,

Mayy and Sabrina,

The Misfits x 

xoxo, lots of love

Boyfriend or not, we love valentines day, cause its a day where extra love is celebrated and we love love, and we love you. So happy V day lovers. 

Lots and lots of love, 

M & S

thoughts & life & other stuff...

This past month has been alright, I guess. Actually this month I spent most of my days at home and sick... yeah I know... sad. Kind of had me feeling down in the dumps, and obviously feeling like crap isn't a great feeling at all so I stayed home for a bit and rested up until I felt 100% - which is an important thing to do. Then I was back on my feet going back to school and starting my transition into year 11. So now school is a big deal, going into VCE is a something important to me and is actually a really big motivator for me! With the subjects I have picked, that I'll hopefully enjoy and that I'll try my hardest in, is what I'm excited for most. So now that I have basically started year 11 it's time to pull my head in and start letting my creative juices turn into something amazing when it comes to the work I produce for school. 

Other then talking about school I am pretty excited for the future. The future for The Misfits and for both Mayy and I's individual work. With Mayy having her pieces published in magazines, I have recently joined a team of inspiring, young and creative people. I am so excited for what's to come after I have joined. And to have the opportunity to be a part of such a great movement. Very thankful to Fred the founder of DPS, who approached me and asked to join. It was something I never thought I would do but I reached out of my comfort zone and took this opportunity, to test my creative ability, especially in fashion. So check out both Fred and DPS on Instagram because it's just amazing thing to be a part of and I hope it inspires you, yes, you to be motivated and to be the best version of you!!!

Sincerely, Sabrina xx

So, I’m hoping that we make more posts like this so that we can just let it all out and put our thoughts out there, for a more personal connection with our readers.

It’s been crazy. This past month has literally been a rollercoaster of up and downs. The same week that I had exams, was the week right after my mum got married. And theres this one passage from my most favourite, most treasured book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower that goes like, “So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am not happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be”, and that line when I had read it the first time had never resonated with me as much as it does now. So, I am both happy and sad because of the situation I’m in, and that’s okay. I’ve been so tired, so unmotivated and my level of insecurity about my body rises when I feel like that, mostly because putting off exercise because of being busy with school and adjusting to the major shift in life makes me  feel frustrated.

I’ve been listening to a lot of music, and I normally listen to a lot, so when I say a lot this time.. I mean A LOT. Just soft, twinkling, gentle songs that make me feel content, warm, and happy. My school also started head-start, which is our official change to the 2017 calendar, meaning I basically started year 11. I love all my subjects, but I’m freaking out a bit…. Isn’t that normal? Literature is probably my favourite right now, I just feel like it’s the right subject for me, and I already got the chance to go crazy about The Perks of Being a Wallflower during class discussions so I’m lovin’ it hah! That book is just something else. I cry every damn time I read it but I keep reading it over and over again and it just gets me through so much I absolutely adore it. On another note, I have two articles coming out in two different magazines (DRAFT Magazine & FEAD Magazine) and I’m so excited but also kinda nervous and I don’t know why. 

I just can’t wait for the school holidays to be here already, and it’s just so close. I’ll be traveling to Dubai for three weeks and hopefully I’ll get heaps of content for the blog from there, and hopefully sab will be working on some other exciting stuff for you guys while I’m gone.

And so that’s life for me right now I guess, I hope you can somehow relate to me or just get what I’m saying.

Just keep being you, you beautiful little wallflowers

Yours Truly, Mayy

the autumn mood board

So heres a quick little post we decided to put together while in the midst of the mess that is caused by school and homework and life in general! Although many may think of mood boards as something easy to put together, we believe otherwise. Putting pictures together to set a certain 'mood' or give off a vibe or even just to express how one is feeling, requires time and thought, and along with the time and thought comes a lot of inspiration.

Making a mood board is definitely a way to relax and let go of worries, have fun and experiment with pictures, and is just the perfect way to express what you want to express using visuals, and that in itself is a form of art (and we are your local artsy kids ya know so art is everything). So really, even though they look like pictures thrown together, easy peasy, it's not! But hey, they're fun to put together and they require creativity, and anything that requires creativity is pretty awesome if you think about it.

So get your creativity on and make some mood boards babes!

Love,

xx
