Build your Confidence #2 | Monday (Tips) ♥

Hello guys,
just so you know if you checked my twitter, you'd of known I didn't post yesterday because I slept over my nans but like always, I'm still posting and here it is! (Tuesdays post will be up today also)
Today's might seem a little plain, but I'm just going to put up a list of 5 tips, with explanations, so I hope they help. These are also tips I think people just starting to build confidence should follow before others.
1. Dress proudly, smartly and appropriately.
Even though clothes doesn't necessarily define you as a person in some cases, it defiantly defines your mood. If you was to walk around wearing someone uncomfortable, or something you aren't exactly fond of, it put's you in a less greater mood. Where as if you was proud, and comfortable in what you're wearing, of course you're going to feel better about yourself!
2. Gradually start to walk faster
A walk tends to define people in certain ways. If you was to walk slow, slouched, people would assume you're not exactly confident and in the best of moods. Where as if you was to walk faster or more formal you look more put together, confident and happy.
3. Good Posture
This one means loads to me! If you sit slouched you look tired and not prepared, where as if you was to maintain good posture you look ready, sharp and you not only look more confident, but you feel more confident.
4. Be Grateful
When you focus on things you want, you tend to make up reasons why you can't or shouldn't have it. By focusing on things that you're grateful for it makes you feel good about yourself and the fact you have another day to even try and earn what you want.
5. Compliment other people
Instead of focusing in yourself, try and bring other people to be more confident, compliments should do the trick or at least make an impact.

Mystery Sunday #2 | Starting a Blog ♥

Hello everyone.
Today's post (As you can tell by the title) is all about starting a blog.

So if you want to start a blog, why not? Go ahead. You have nothing to lose.
I defiantly recommend using Blogger as it's features are amazing, you can expand it to so much and make a business out of it if you use ad-sense (I do not as this is just a hobby, I don't think the blogs anywhere near good enough YET, and I don't want to throw adds everywhere)

When you've decided what the blogs on, it's pretty simple really.
You can sign up for a Blogger account, click 'create blog' and it goes on from there really.
Then you pick a template of a list of different templates.
You change it up a little by shoving your pictures and logos place.
Make a couple of pages, add features like view counter, text, posts to either the sides or the bottom.
Possibilities are endless!
You can make multiple blogs all from one account if you wish too!

So if you're thinking 'hm, I might wanna start a blog' or 'should I start a blog' or 'I don't know whether too' I say try it. If you don't like it just delete it. I haven't found a problem with it yet.

Disclaimer: This is all MY own opinion.

This post might be a little short today but it's all I have time for sorry.
Have a great Sunday.

Gift Guide #1 | Saturday ♥

Hello everyone.
This is slightly late, yesterday I thought for some reason I had typed up and posted already, so when I came this morning to put Sundays post up I realized I haven't.
Okay, so this series is going to take place every Saturday (as you can tell by the schedule) and it's going to be about what you can buy for family members at Christmas, if you're a bit stuck and you want to actually buy them a mystery present.

Today we'll be talking about the younger audience and we'll work ourselves up and by Christmas, we should have the entire 'family content' completed with a simple gift guide.

So, Toddlers shall we say?
Since the baby is still learning how to do things, or just getting the hang of it, or is rather adventurous, you have a couple of choices.

  • Something that is loud, flashing - to adapt their senses and of course they'll have fun will a loud flashing colorful item - unless they're a child that's not into noise
  • If it's more of a quite child, if they've started nursery some building blocks or a water tray with a couple of rubber ducks wouldn't go a miss and they're bound to have fun right?
  • Well if the child is younger, or sleeps a lot, how about a new teddy and a chocolate tray? I'm sure they'd love eating chocolate and cuddling up to their new teddy! 
  • If the child is into fashion, or shoes you could go out and buy a pair of shoes and some sort of outfit, or just shoes depending on the budget and the price of them.
  • Last but not least, you could buy something for the baby, to help out the parents. You could buy a baby's high seat, car seat, a play pen. Anything appropriate like that.
Thanks for reading yesterdays post.
Keep your eyes peeled for Today's post!

Expanding your beauty #1 | Friday ♥

Welcome back to the blog guys!
TGIF!!! So this post might be a little late as in it's 9:08pm on a Friday and I'm typing this up. I also just posted Thursdays post just now. I'm just trying to keep on top of things sorry guys. I'll be posting all the posts but if it's a day or two late don't panic, I will be putting the post up.

Today's post is all about expanding your beauty.
I'm going to be talking a little bit about money, and beauty budgets.
Now, if you was to go back through the first couple of months of posts, you'll find a beauty budget post. It's about a site I recommended on earning some extra bucks to pay for your extra things, eg. Make-up.

If you're a child, such as myself, you probably can't actually be bothered to go on sites and do surveys and take the time to earn it. You want it just to be over with and you pretty much want to go on your shopping spree right about now.

And if that's the case, I totally recommend doing extra work, jobs around the house. Even if it's for next to nothing, it all adds up. Saving up your pocket money always helps. Then if you're desperate you could ask for a raise - but don't beg because if you just be patient and help around the house a little bit, you might just get that little bit extra.

Really the best thing I can recommend is to save.
When you save around £10-£20 you can start considering what you're going to buy next.
The second thing I highly recommend, is to look around online for make-up.
It varies for different people. If you like to go and see and test the product out, you could just go to a shop and pay more. But with budgets, I'd personally go online, find some make-up for a couple of dollars or pounds less and then that gives you something to start saving with the next week/month.

This post might be a little short but remember, it's just an introduction and there's a load more to come. This is one step of a process that has endless possibilities.

I hope you're looking forward to next Friday's post on expanding your beauty.
Have a great night I guess.

Spa Thursday | Thursday #1 ♥

Welcome you guys,
So today's post is all about well, treating yourself and making yourself beautiful!
You'd know what this is about if you was reading this blog a while back, that I had 'spa Tuesday' and it wasn't a bad series so I've decided to continue it and I also didn't mind typing the posts out, views were decent too.

Today I'm going to be talking about candles and essences since I've already done the bath and basics (You can find it by looking on the bar on the right hand side)




There's actual candles and essences you can buy than you light and then they relax you, and apparently cleanse you of your sins. It's very relaxing to have these burning as you bath and get ready for your spa relaxation day.
It's not only the fact it relaxes you, but they tend to put people in a better overall mood for the rest of the day and make you feel slightly better when you feel ill (unless the scent is too strong/sickly)
The last thing that makes me recommend these are of course, the colors!
Candles are pretty, and you can buy ones like the ones in the image and wouldn't that just make you happy overall? Because they make me happy.

Thanks for reading today's post.
My apologies if it doesn't seem long enough, but I'm trying to take these series slow so I can try and expand on everything I post and have more to post. It all adds up, I promise.
Well thanks anyway. Come back tomorrow for more posts. Have a Happy Thursday. And remember, TOMORROWS FRIDAY!:3

First step to a healthy lifestyle | Wednesday #1 ♥

Hello everyone!
I know this is a little late but it is still Wednesday so I hope you enjoy this post.

You might want to go and read my previous healthy eating introduction I made a while back to understand this with more explanation, but right now I'm focusing on LOOSING weight. I am in no way promoting eating disorders. This is my way of loosing weight, what I'm doing, and my progress and also little things I think could help you.

The first thing to do, is consider what you want. To loose weight, gain muscle, gain weight, just make yourself healthier. Whatever it may be, you have to think if this will be the right guide for you. But if it's not, I'm not stopping you from looking. If you'd like to still read or look at my progress and struggles, feel free to do so.



I'll be posting some of the following every Wednesday:

  • My current journey
  • What tips I've found helpful
  • What tips I've found not so helpful
  • Things I'm going to try
  • What diets I've been looking at
  • Fitsperation
  • Reasons to do it
  • How happy you can be getting results
See you next Wednesday for posts on healthy eating!

Plaits or Pony Tails? | Tuesday #1 ♥

Hello everyone (Sorry this is late)
Today I will be giving my opinions on plaits, or pony tails.

DISCLAIMER: This might not interest people the slightest, but this post is targeting the younger and older audience. You might think, should I have my hair up today, or in a plait? This is just my personal preference and by no means am I telling you what or what not to do. Images are taken from Google.



Pony Tales: Pony tales will do on them days when you can't actually be quite bothered to take the time or effort to make it a little more 'put together' or you might actually need it out of the way which is understandable and overall it's do-able and acceptable.

Plaits: I feel as if when you take the minutes to do a plait it makes you look a little more put together and makes it look as if you've put more effort into it. My favourite thing about plaits all together is that you can do so much with them! You could have multiple ones, or create an entire new look out of them.

But you could always go with something like in the photo!

Thanks for reading. Sorry it's a day late, I was busy the last two days.
Have a great day/night!:3
