👯 | 30 Day Blogging Challenge | Day 6: What Am I Afraid Of?

Hi there!
And now is when the challenge gets a litte more personal.

WHAT AM I AFRAID OF?

I always try to be as open as possible when I share H2H posts in here and I feel like this is going to be similar to those.
When I read today's topic I first thought about how much I hate hospitals and going to the dentist, then UFOs, haha. But deep down I know there are other, more serious fears I have that is not always cool to talk about.

So, let's start with Failure. It doesn't matter how much of a positive person I try to be, the idea of failing terrifies me! That's why I find it so hard when I have to do demonstration classes at work, because I hate the idea of doing it wrong in front of an audience. Even tho I've done it a million times before, I still get those feelings. Same goes to talking in public and stuff. And this also applies to my personal life. Failing in relationships, plans and dreams. I'm afraid of looking back many years from now to realize I failed to myself and didn't do everything I wanted, the way I wanted. And it's funny because, this actually keeps happening to me, No matter how hard I try or what it is, things don't really seem to go the way I want them to be for whatever reason. And I know, some things are meant to be that way but, I tend to over think a lot and that always makes it worse. I seem to fail at the things I want the most. Maybe it's just me torturing myself over the things I don't have or "can't achieve" but, it is something that sometimes keeps me awake at night.
Add to that I'm constantly comparing myself to others (which I know I shouldn't)~ And it's weird because, I'm not even a perfectionist!!

That's one, the other would definitely be Loneliness. Yeah, as much as I separate the concept of "being alone" and "being lonely" I still struggle with the idea of being lonely in the future. Cuz even tho I know I have amazing people around me, I do get lonely at times. It doesn't affect me as much as it did years ago but it's always a scary feeling and a scary thought. 

In a way, I feel like these two fears could be connected somehow? Idk~ But, these are things I also know I have to work on to make it all better. So hopefully, it'll get better with time.

Is there something you're afraid of? Feel free to share with me!

👯 | 30 Day Blogging Challenge | Day 5: My Proudest Moment

Hey!
Another day, another challenge~

MY PROUDEST MOMENT

It took me a while to think of a good thing to write in here and after thinking about it, I've realized it's not just one moment I'm most proud about but the small things I've done since the moment I decided I needed to change.

I'm proud of the person I'm becoming, someone who stands up for what she likes and believes but is also willing to learn from others and experiences. 

I'm proud of the choices I'm making, because even if they are not always the right ones, I'm pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone, no matter how scary it may be, which isn't easy for me.

I'm proud of the moment I decided to let go. Let go of people, places and emotions that were not good for me.

I'm proud of the people around me and their achievements.

And lastly, I'm proud of the moment I got to say "I've changed but I'm still me". I'm more independent and stronger. There's still a lot for me to change and achieve but, I'm proud to say I'm actually doing something to get there.

Maybe this wasn't the way this post was supposed to go but, it's my way of seeing it. Especially considering I couldn't think of a "Proudest moment". Some people might go for "graduating, working at a certain place, becoming a parent (someday hopefully)" but for me, it's more about my personal changes cuz I know how much I struggled with those.
If you have a proudest moment, make sure to share it with me!
See you tomorrow!!

👯 | 30 Day Blogging Challenge | Day 3: Favorite Quote

Hiiiii!

Day 3 here we go! Very excited about sharing this one with you because there is a quote I try to live by~

MY FAVORITE QUOTE

"Hold the vision, trust the process"

There are so many quotes I like but, there's something about this one that makes me love it.

At first, I related it to my love situation at that moment and, it made so much sense to me. Even tho things didn't go as planned, I kinda made that quote my motivational quote in every aspect of my life. It doesn't matter if plans change or things don't go my way, if I hold a clear vision of what I want, eventually, the process will take me there.

I don't think there's much more to say about this. Feel free to share your favorite quote qith me and why you like it. 

See you tomorrow! x

👯 | 30 Day Blogging Challenge | Day 1: My Blog's Name

Hey loves!

Day one of the 30 Day Challenge. Super excited to try this so, let's start!

MY BLOG'S NAME

I have to admit I always find it hard to come up with good names, no matter what they are for, I just don't feel creative enough. I believe I've mentioned something about my blog's name somewhere but it was long ago.

Something most people don't know (or remember) is that this is the second name I gave to this blog. When I started it, it was "Inside the bunny's head". Because well, I am a bunny lover. But that name didn't last long. I liked it, yeah. But not enough to keep it.

The name "MonStar" came way before I even thought about starting a blog. It started as a nickname from someone who was truly special to me. I just loved it! So, I decided to use it as my social media user names and stuff. Then, when I decided to change this blog's name, I knew I wanted to use MonStar in here too. It'd make sense, right? Same nickname and user names for all my social media~ And seeing it as this blog is my own little space to share and express myself I chose the "Little Blog" part. So, MonStar's Little Blog = Mon's Little Space, hehe.

So, not only the name has a special meaning but it also feels mine (if that makes sense). I've had it for many years now and, I don't think I'll change it anytime soon.

And well, this is a short story but, it's the story behind my blog's name. I'll see you tomorrow, on day 02! xx

💕 | April Favorites 2019 | Podcasts, Accessories & Sakura!

Hi guys!
Another month went by and it is that time again, time to share with you my favs of the month.
Let's het started!!

💕 Entertainment

I believe I shared one of my favorite podcasts atm with you all in a previous favorites post. I've been obsessed with My Favorite Murder but, there's also a new podcast I'm loving right now: Ghost Magnet with Bridget Marquardt.
If you know me, you'll know how much I love paranormal stuff and well, this podcast is all about that: ghosts, paranomal, experiences and haunted places. This podcasts is failry new and I'm already caught up with all the episodes so far. So, if you are into it as well, make sure to check it out.

💕 Nails

I've been using fake nails a lot lately, only because I can never have pretty natural nails. I already mentioned this brand in a previous post, Elegant Touch London Nails but, I discovered that the oval shaped nails lasted a lot more than the square ones. They became my favorites. I didn't get a pic of the ones I've used but I rememeber they were called "Jackie" and they were this really pretty pale pink, perfect for Spring. The new ones are called "Mink Nude" and have a matte finish. They last for about 2 weeks and you can paint them if you get bored of the color, using nail polish and the color lasts a lot too.
They also have a pretty lenght that makes them comfortable to wear and do things. They made it through my work and doing the dishes so, big YAY!

💕 Accessories

I'm not someone who wears a lot of sneakers, in fact, I really needed new ones~ I knew I had to get white this time instead of going for my usual pink choices. And they reason why my sneakers made it here is because they are soooo comfortable, I've been wearing them non stop.
I got them from a shoes catalogue, the brand is Urban Shoes.

💕 Others

My Sakura obsession is still strong and you know how every Spring, Starbucks comes with everything Sakura in Japan and Korea. This year I was thinking about buyin a bottle, mug or just whatever I could online but it was crazy expensive so, I gave up. One day my friend Ceci sent me this post that showed Starbucks was having a Sakura collection here where I live. I was super excited and knew I had to have one. I went there the next day, only a few hours after the collection arrived, they only had 4 left. 3 bottles and a tumbler. I wasn't surprised. Sadly, they didn't have the one I wanted but I didn't want to take a risk and miss my chance to get one. so I got this small bottle, which is still pretty cute. Hopefully they will come up with more next year and, I'll defo try to get another one.

And that is it for the favs. I know I was super MIA around here this month but, I'll be trying to do this 30 day blogging challenge starting May so you'll be reading me every single day~ (I hope).

I'll see you in the next one!!
