Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Mindful Escapisms

    When life can get you down, sometimes it’s a good idea to take the time to switch off from stress and worries. To reconnect with a happy state of mind and feel refreshed. Here are a few things I do when I’ve been sulking for too long and need to take a step back from…

  • Summer Clean

    I know that every year people get all excited for a “spring clean”, but personally spring has never been that for me. Whilst in education it’s always been a time of much stress, exams and deadlines so there was always little time to organise and sort ones life out. Plus these past couple of years…

  • Viaduct

    The other day I went exploring the beautiful Yorkshire countryside with my mum and grandparents. This did also involve getting lost down some windy roads and getting up close and friendly with some cows…Yorkshire is great! This is the last photo I took with some expired film I’ve had for ages. I’ve recently bought some of…

  • What I’ve learnt so far as a female “adult”

    I don’t know about you but I love reading articles written by women, for other women, on what they’ve learnt by being a woman. Little life lessons we should all take on board to make it through the day/week/month/year. To remind us we’re doing okay, everybody’s doing okay, and that we can achieve/overcome anything. And…

  • Rainy Street in Madrid

    I didn’t take many photos of the weekend I spent in Madrid, but this was my favourite. I also liked how the black and white edit came out when I was messing around with the photo on Instagram. Couldn’t decide which I preferred so here, have both 😉

  • Tips on Becoming an English Teacher

    Last summer I made countless applications before I won, what I feel like was the best option available. Burgos was a big enough city, but small enough to not feel overwhelmed, it wasn’t too touristy but I could get by on my basic knowledge of Spanish. Plus a bonus was that there were so many…

  • Budget Beauty Buys

    Did ya like the alliteration? I haven’t a degree in literature for nothing… Anyway my blog – which is an accurate representation of my mind: messy, all over the place, filled with mentions of tea – is not a blog for those interested in beauty blogging. Because truth be told, I’m kinda useless at that stuff. My…

  • Hasta Luego Burgos

    Yep, I am writing this in the UK. It’s grey, my daily tea intake has already gone up, and I cannot wait to go to the pub (currently off alcohol for now so that has to wait…). Although the school year is nearly over, I had to return a month earlier than planned because my recent…

  • Movie Quotes about Life

    Sometimes you’re watching a film, and a character says something that just sticks with you for a long time after the film has finished. I find this happens when films I love give a little wisdom about life – sometimes uplifting but other times humbling. So here are a few examples, the films are also…

  • So I’ve Been Diagnosed with Lupus…

    Story time! This might be a long one, with a bit of whinging so I will understand if you skip this post! During the winter of my last year at uni, I became concerned when I started developing joint pain and swelling that would come and go in pretty much all my joints. The pain…

Got any book recommendations?
