Christmas Eve! Early Presents,Speed time up&Starting Youtube! ♥♥♥

Hello everyone!
Happy Christmas Eve!
As promised, today I'll be making a post!
Let's start this off with the early Christmas presents I've got, and feel free to tell me any early prezzies you've received!
Yesterday was Christmas Eve-Eve, and I had a couple of early presents!

• A teasing comb
• Chit Chat Black Mascara
• Kabuki Brush
• Nivea Soft Rose Lip Cream
• Nivea Essential Lip Cream

Today I'll be getting a couple too, these are why I'm so excited today, waiting for them and CHRISTMAS TOMORROW!

• One of my long-waited for CAMCORDERS!
• Of course, a new onzie before bed!

Not to mention going ot Mcdonalds as me, my nan, my mam, brother & Uncle Jimmy always do, to get all tired and excited for bed.

Even though we can't get to sleep until like 2 and then wake-up at like 4. 

This year the goal is to try and go to bed at 9 and fall asleep by 3-4 because it is really hard!

Then every year my brother and I wake up early in the morning (3-5) to open our stockings!

We then go back to sleep, and wake up later to wake our parents up and go downstairs to open the prezzies!

It's so frustrating to me to be so tired and not to fall asleep, so here's some tips to speed time up& fall asleep faster!

• Make yourself busy all through the day, so when it comes to the dreaded Christmas Eve bed time, you're actually tired and your body has to sleep!
• Try to stay up as long as you can, so when you go to bed you're just so tired you go straight to sleep!
• Watch films for hours, but not Christmas ones! They'll just make you even more hyper for Christmas!
• Read a book for a few hours, it passes time easily!
• Read blogs all day, or for a few hours (Hey, why not mine?:)
• Watch videos on Youtube, time seems to pass by so fast when you're watching a ton of 6 minute to 15 minute videos, and it's fun. (My everyday life people!:)
• Work out! You'll get tired, and you'll feel satisfied that you've burnt of like 0.2% of the one chocolate bar out of thousands you're gonna eat tomorrow!

Oh, and finally! I'M STARTING YOUTUBE! 

The plan is to vlog today (starting as soon as I get it!) and tomorrow (CHRISTMAS PRESENT OPENING, WOOOHOOO) and the rest of the day.. and the food... especially the food;)

Then to upload it tomorrow night, or boxing day night.

To pass time, you could always find a new hobby.. knitting, writing books, blogging, vlogging, answering questions on yahoo, drawing, making loom bands, making food, joining a website full of fun time-consuming days, eat food and pet your dog or cat... go out with family members. 

I hope you enjoyed today's post, I'll be posting on NORMAL schedule starting January 1st! See you in 2015, and have a merry Christmas, and a happy new year!

Christmas Update | When I will be posting next ♥

Hello everyone!
Please don't think I've abandoned this blog. I have not forgotten.
I have come to a decision that I will not post until the 23rd of December 2014.
Then when I have my laptop, I will pre-write a whole punch of posts ready for you guys!
Come back on the 23rd for a new post, and from then we'll go back into routine and I'll also review the schedule and I'll put up a vote of whether to keep that one, or to chose another one.
Happy Saturday!

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.
