Filterless Photos

Hey everyone!
I am writing this post because a. I don't know what else to do, b. I think its great to think about this more and c. I try to set it in stone here (doesn't work too often). So what am I talking about? Using Instagram filters of course..

While scrolling through YouTube seeing what video to watch next I came across a video called Filters by The Halfway Point (a blogger I love!), it was a spoken word poem about social media and living in real life, you have to check it out. It really reminded me of the spoken word poem called Look Up, which I had to look at again.

Now I know this is not what they suggested but it's a small step in the right direction, when I post photos to Instagram I'm not going to edit it (other than crop) to make it look better, I'm going to leave it as is.

When people post photos on Instagram, they chose the best parts to photograph so already its not real, then they add filters to make it look 'better' but what they actually do is make it look less real.

Unlike other challenges I have tried, I don't actually have to do anything. Like seriously it's easier and quicker to post photos now I don't edit them, I have actually been posting more frequently too and it doesn't even feel like it!

So I challenge you to post unedited photos to see how much easier it is. It's actually kind of freeing, even though I hardly edited my photos before!

Have a good day and don't forget to check out my Instagram @it'sRubyDean :D

My 15th Birthday!

My Birthday lunch (left) and my surprise Blythe lunch (right)

Hello everyone, long time no see!

So today I'm doing a quick post about my birthday because I really don't have the urge to talk about it a lot but I thought I would update you will my age. 3 weeks ago on the 27th of September I turned 15, I had an awesome time celebrating on the day and days before and after.

Going No Poo

Still experimenting, some days look better than others, this is a bad day. It also may be a bit wet..

Hey everyone! 

For the past.. I dont' even know, I have been experimenting with No 'Poo. And no I don't mean poo, I mean shampoo. I don't use shampoo.

It was an accident

Hey everyone!

So I may have changed the design a bit.. just a little *face scrunches*. It was an accident I promise! Basically me and my OCD wanted to put the nav bar below the header, don't you think that would be easy? Thats what I thought! Obviously it wasn't. When I put in the scrolling nav bar, blogger had a fit and my layout thing didn't save, blah blah blah annoying techy stuff. 

Also I had this: -->, and there was not one thing anywhere that said how to remove it and keeping it stuffed up the whole design (at least to me and my OCD). So I created a new blog and copied its code over to see if that would work. BAM! If I wasn't sitting in bed when it happened I would of jumped up and down so much! I still can't believe it worked.

So then after doing that I had to redesign the blog and I thought why not go for a bright happy design. I'm really into those colours at the moment. I'm still not sure on everything but I really shouldn't think to hard about it :P

I have some more posts planned soon so stick around for them and let me know what you think of the design :)

Byyyeee! Ruby xx
