Hi amours! It's been long right! I know, and I am sorry about it, but university life is draining me hehe. I got all my first three assignments out the way, as well as a minute film, but it doesn't get easy, because I now have three essays and five minute film to get done after the holidays, which I won't be able to do, since whilst you guys are reading this I am be in Saudi Arabia for Umrah Insha'Allah.

So before I disappear again from my blog (sorry :/) I thought of posting about something meaningful to me other than food (which honestly was going to be a post I was going to put up before going). Plus it would be super convenient to do a motivational/goal type of post before 2017. So recently I got myself a Micheal Kors watch, some of your guys might be thinking well it's just a watch. But to me, it was something big. For quite a few years, it's been a goal of mines to purchase a Michael Kors watch with my own earned money, so the fact that I was able to reach that goal makes me feel so ecstatic Masha'Allah. 

Because of this, I feel that if I put my mind to something, and if I put my effort, and the result shows, then I can definitely reach more upcoming goals. For example, I was able to reach over 30K reads on my blog, by not giving up and actually putting effort and hard work into my blog that it eventually paid off. The same way, no matter what the goal is related to; money, life, food, travelling, blog, work, literally anything I am sure you can reach it too. You just got to strive for it. If you have the passion to reach it, and not give up, then you can tick off all those goals on your bucket list. By all means, create a bucket/goal list, but if you truly want to reach it, work for it. You guys can do it!

Until next time! I will hopefully be back with many travel diaries and food posts. Hope you all look forward to it!

Yes finally! Finally, I visited Wagamama. I've walked past it countless time, peeked through the windows, scrolled through photographs, yet never been. And a couple of weeks ago I took the chance to visit the place with the partner (obviously!). I got to say the visit okay, and the only reason I would say that is because of the food choice. Hence why I hope to visit there again, with some choice of foods noted down before ordering. 

Hey amours! I'm back with a post! It's been ages, since I've posted on my blog. Honestly deadlines have been the main reason for the lack of updates. I got 3 assignments for December, and a 1 minute film to hand in next week, which I haven't yet shot for. Insha'Allah that will be done this week. Plus, I'm sure many of you guys are in the same situation as I am, and I hope the best to you all! Although the assignments are important, I wanted to get a couple of posts typed up, for me to share soon, because I have missed my blog. 

This post is going to be quite a lengthy one, but I hope you lovelies would enjoy reading it, as much as I enjoyed travelling, eating, and typing this post up!

Last Thursday, my partner and I decided to go to Birmingham, since we've been wanting to go out of Leicester for a pretty long time, and we wanted to visit Eis Cafe so badly! Our first stop was Star City. What we didn't do was check the opening time for Star City, so when we did arrive, it was still close. But thankfully it wasn't much of a problem because Star City consists of food places, so at 9:30 in the morning, eating at a restaurant just wasn't ideal. Although having said that, I would say that you can always eat no matter what time of the day it is hehe. 

After taking pictures at Star City, we headed to ever so famous place in Birmingham. Bull Ring. I and the Other Half, spent 2 hours going from one floor after and another, just looking at shops and taking pictures. We spent most of our time at Selfridges & Co, and Forever 21, since we don't have one in Leicester. 

So I recently migrated from a personal account to a business account on Instagram. I didn't think much about it, and just that it may be useful for getting more interactions on my Instagram. And to be frank, it definitely has helped. So I will be sharing the various ways it's helped, and maybe help any of you guys who are debating on whether to migrate to a business account or not.


1. Contact: Rather than having to put your contact information on your bio, you have the option of adding a contact button, so people who come across your Instagram and are interested can contact you in three different ways; email, phone, and location.


2. Insights and Promoting: Now you can promote your photographs, which I think works well for businesses that want to raise more exposure, and for blogs, well if you want then you sure can as well hehe. With Twitter Analytics being a useful feature on Twitter, you now get Instagram Insights, which is great for people who are active on Instagram, to get information on followers, comments, likes and more which I will show below.


4. Profile Analytics: This is the same as insights that are shown on your individual posts, however, these analytics can be seen by clicking on a bar graph type icon next to you three dots on the top right of your profile. These analytics show information between a period of time, so currently my information are from October 19 - October 26. This helps me because as you guys can see, I am to know how many traffic comes to my blog from Instagram, and clearly it's pretty low, which I think it's just to do with Instagram in general because not many people click on links, or maybe it's my account and I need to give more exposure to it more.

6. About Your Followers: This section lets you see how many followers you have, what gender they are, what age range they belong, and the top locations. So this part simply just give general information's on your audience which helps you to see if you are reaching the right people or not etc.

That's all the main changes that I have come across on my blogstagram, and I hope it's helped any blogger/business people out there that are reading this post. Oh and bare in mind, your business account is linked to your Facebook page, so if you do share your pictures from Instagram then it won't go on Facebook profile, and instead go on Facebook page.
