:) August Favourites

Good Afternoon :D

Hope that your day has been marvellous :) If not I hope you find a way to make it so <3  I have grown to love writing my monthly favourites blogs because it's a few hours when I'm purely focusing on the good things that happened through the month and I know I have to find them no matter how rubbish the month has been and it honestly makes me feel a whole lot better :) So here is my August favourites :

Cinema :)

This month my favourite film that I've seen at the Cinema was The Inbetweeners Movie 2 :) I love the InBetweeners and I was ecstatic when I found out that they were making a second movie . I really enjoyed the first movie however I didn't think it was as good as the series meanwhile the second movie was fantastic ! Me and my sister were dying with laughter whilst eating our Ben and Jerry's ice cream ... They make Smores Ice cream now ! How awesome is that ? :D I accidentally dropped me spoon in the cinema but my sister was an absolute babe and gave me hers <3 Anyways back to the film; In this movie the boys set off to Australia to find Jay who has told them a urm, rather fanciful version of his currant living and working arrangements ... and girls ;) Nothing unusual there then hehe :) The mischievous young adults head off re-united on a road trip and well ... when you've finished rolling on the floor laughing I'm sure you'll agree that it's a errm... eventful adventure to say the least ;) Must see film ! If you've seen it then let me know your thoughts In the comments.

Books :)

The Little Beach Street Bakery By Jenny Colgan was a wonderfully heart-warming tale  :) It took me a long time to read because I could never find time to read but I went on holiday and finished it in a day , I just couldn't put it down <3 The protagonist ( Polly) moves away after becoming bankrupt, leaving behind her husband Chris and everything she's ever known . But who needs a husband when you has friendly fishermen, a sweet american bee-keeper and most importantly Neil :) An addorable little puffin who befriends Polly and flutters around her with his ruffled feathers, standing by her and nibbling at the crumbs of her delicious homemade bread when she has no one else on the issolated little village which becomes her home and her happiness <3 A truly uplifting story of loss, love, bakery's and Puffins :) What's not to like ? 

As I mentioned in a Smiley Sunday post, I have started to read the Harry Potter books . Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone by the incredibly talented J.K.Rowling was everything everyone ever said it was <3 If I'm honest I thought that I wasn't going to enjoy reading the Harry Potter Series but with every page I was pulled further and further into the magical wizard world of Harry Potter and I loved every moment ! I can't 
believe how much I enjoyed the book ! It was perfectly written and I read it within a day . If you are putting off reading the Harry Potter series or have convinced yourself it's not your thing then un-convince yourself and give it a go because I'm sure you will love it as much as I did :) 

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets also by J.K.Rowling lived up to the expectations set by the first book and then proceeded to surpass them by massive amounts :) I feel like there's really not any point in summing up the storyline because if you don't know the story line of Harry Potter I think you might need to go outside darling hehe ;) But I can't wait to read the 3rd book ( Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban ) I feel like there's going to be a lot of Harry potter related blog posts coming up :) 

Song :) 

The Reckless and the Brave by All Time Low is an amazing song that you can sing along to at any time and instantly feel good and like you can take on the world <3 There needs to be more songs like this because not enough people are being told to go for their dreams :) 

Clothing :) 

This month I have discovered a wonderful charity which I would really like to talk more about in another blog post called " To Write Love On Her Arms "   which does amazing work helping people  whom are struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. They have a store and you should definitely check it out ( you can find it here ) I love the top's in the store because I think they look good and have fantastic messages on , I'm ordering one as soon as I 
have some money :) This is my favourite of their tops, and it reads : "You'll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips. Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else. You will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living, breathing screaming invitation to believe better things."

Etsy :) 

I found a awesome Suicide Prevention necklace which you can find here <3 




Blog :) 

I have been Reading KimJadeLouise  for a while now and I love her blog and more people should know about it :) I especially love her DIY posts like the floral bun wraps but her DIY: Book to Diary/Notebook post with great :) She's creative, a talented artist and an awesome writer so if you get time then please check her out <3 

YouTube :) 

I discovered this YouTuber on the first of August and have been dying to tell you about her ever since :) RibbonsMakeBows is a wonderful young woman who's just graduated and has been making awesome videos through her university life :) If you have issues with body confidence or being happy then I can't think of a better place for you to go to <3 

Finally , Here are my five good things that have happened this month :) 

1. I went on holiday and swam in the sea :D Yayyy <3 
2. Everyone in Ireland was really friendly and smiled back . 
3. I went to see Wicked at the theatre OH MY GOSH It was so so so good :D
4. The New Doctors first episode was great and I saw it on the big screen <3 There was a girl wearing a Fez !!!!!
5. New School Year = New Stationary ... lots and lots and lots of new stationary :) I think I might do a stationary haul if you're interested to show you all my new stuff because I seriously need to get this excitement out of my system aha I mean they're just pens ... but they're coloured revision pens ! Arghhh :D 

That's all for today, thanks for reading ! 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

Much Love, Love Much-ly

Smiley Sundays - #100happydays day 72 -78

Good Afternoon my beautiful friend :)

As a direct result of my holiday throwing me off schedule, feeling rubbishy all week and being lazy and confused without school days to keep me knowing when I need to write and post ... this is my first ever smiley Sunday  post that has actually been posted on a Sunday.... and its a week late :') I'm so sorry please don't hate me it's just I have so many idea in my head ( mainly christmassy ones ) and the fact that I have to write this when I want to write them just puts me off doing this despite how much I love it when I'm doing it :) So this is the Smiley Sunday post from the week I was on holiday in Ireland where the people are ever so friendly to the point where I feel like I might actually belong there ... no seriously ! They smile back :D

#100happydays : day 72 ( Monday )

Where I belong <3 

Nothing that has to be done, A five minute walk to a beach of sapphire seas lapping at the golden sands and a day in your holiday home with your sister and her boyfriend who hasn't been in the sea in years ( honestly I think he was more excited that me ! ) . What else would you do than throw on your favourite summer dress over your swimming costume and run into the sea .... before running back out again immediately ... WAIT WHAT ! That's not what happens on the beach on the movies ? Oh wait the movies an't set in freezing cold Ireland ;) Regardless we edged back in inch by inch , dodging seaweed and believe me that's difficult because despite what you may think there's quite a lot of seaweed in the sea aha :) I just so happen to have a phobia of seaweed and a love of swimming in the sea -_- typical ;) Never the less from the moment I started swimming I couldn't stop smiling, ever part of me wanted to be a mermaid like Ariel and stay there forever ! Meanwhile every part of my sisters feet went blue so no longer able to ignore her moaning we left the sea for a while to let my wuss of a sister recover her normal colour because apparently she didn't like being blue ( a bit racist to the Smurf's don't you think ? ;) ten minutes later she announced that she'd realised the water had made the colour of her shoes run and dye her feet blue ... and then it started to rain so we went back home and had a lovely warm shower. However funny it was the highlight of my day had to be unleashing my inner mermaid in the icy cold sea's and it couldn't have been more worth the cold I had for the rest of the week ;)

#100happydays : day 73 ( Tuesday )

:o    No. Words. Needed.

Time to explore the local ( well not so local I guess it was an hour away but still worth it ) town :) Today me, my sister and her boyfriend went to look around a town and it was great :) We found that the Irish have all the same shops as us they just change the names  :) We went to 'Dealz' which is " part of the Poundland family " where everything was $ 1.49 ... apart from the things that weren't in which case they cost .. well anything aha :') We also found  'Penney's ' which is " part of the Primark family "  ... are you beginning to see what I mean about changing names aha ;) Despite this I did buy a Batman Top from 'Penney's' . However I feel the most important thing to tell you is as follows : I FOUND A CHOCOLATE CAFE !!!!!!!!! This is the best discovery ever and I would like to know why we don't have ' Lily O'brians Chocolate Cafe ' In England  :D I had the most amazing banoffee pie there ! Mmmm just thinking about it makes my mouth water , it was absolutely delicious ! But most importantly , the sign outside said " Hot Chocolate Stop " This made my day .. I think we should start a campaign for the well-being of all Brit's " Hot Chocolate Stops throughout England " to compensate us for the freezing, stormy weather that lashes out at us on a daily basis aha ;)

#100happydays : Day 74 ( Wednesday )

" It does not do to dwell on dreams and
 forget to live " - Albus Dumbledore 

Another day at the beach ! Woo :D After we froze every part of us and someone's dog ( We have no idea who owns this dog ) Seemed to attach itself to us so he came for a swim too ( he kept bringing me rocks and every time I fell over in the sea he swam out to check that I was alright so I named him ...*Dramatic Drum Roll ! * ..... " Rocky The Lifedog " :) I like names aha ) We headed home and drank hot chocolate whilst reading my book . I've always wanted to read the harry potter books and I don't know why I never have because I am a massive fan ( Woooo Hufflepuff ;) ) I went to the Harry Potter studios and wrote a post about it which you can find here <3  and ever since I have been determined to read the Series of books :) Today I finished " Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone " I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would and would happily spend the rest of my life curled up in an oversized hoodie, drinking hot chocolate, listening to BriBry's music and reading Harry Potter .. and sometimes when I'm feeling particularly like being the wreck less teenager you all know I am ... I might add marshmallows to that hot chocolate ;)

#100happydays : day 75 ( Thursday )

It's a long story why she's called Beep Beep aha :) 

This morning I was feeling a less than fantastic but my friend sent me a really cute text that made me smile and you should never underestimate the power of a smile because it picked me back up again <3 So with my smile back in tact we went to look around one of the ships that's transported Emigrants from Ireland to America during the famine and it was really interesting however me being me , my favourite part was when I got to ring the ships bell which is meant to give you good luck :) I hope it does <3 Take every wish and good luck token you are offered because although they may not be responsible for your fate, they may give you the belief to pursue it :) You have everything you need to be the amazing human I already know you have the power to be, You just have to find the button that lets you realise what I already know is inside you .. but trust me it's beautiful <3



#100happydays : day 76 ( Friday )

Today we went to look around another town and we I bought a really cute mug and a patch for my boyfriends bag with the Irish Flag on ( It will look good next to all the slipknot and other metal music ones don't you think ? ;) ) I'm beginning to notice how everything in Ireland has to be labelled Irish as if just in case it was an English pepper and we'd poisend it aha ;) No joke they actually labeled to peppers Irish pepper, there were Irish Tic Tac's, "Irish Pride" bread, the list could go on forever aha but it made me happy everytime I looked at food . However the highlight of my day came when I realised that post box's here are GREEN ! I have no idea why it makes me so happy, but it honestly does :) I guess it really is the little things, eh . :)


#100happydays : day 77 ( Saturday )

Struggling to eat with those annoying
wooden spoon things aha :) 

Home time :( Today we're leaving the lovely Irish folk who smile back for the sarcastic Brit's who look at me like I've punched them in the face when I say " Have a nice day " But I guess I have the memories to keep me warm and smiling aha :) I love travelling and although most people get bored I love spending 6 hours in the car just listening to music... plus I got a Ben and Jerry's ice cream on the ferry :) Woo aha <3 When I got home I watched Carrie Hope Fletcher's most recent video and It made me cry and get very emotional . I wrote a blog whilst I was feeling emotional which you can find here :)  I have no idea what I wrote, only that I was very tired and it probably made no sense.. I also don't want to know so I will leave it there for you in case you're interested in what me head comes up with when I'm too emotional to function :)

#100happydays : day 78 ( Sunday )

Wooo I get to see my boyfriend today for the first time in what seems like forever ( that made me think of frozen :D ) Cuddles and Guitar hero on easy level for the very first time made me a very happy girl :) Couldn't of been happier to be back where I belong , with my friends because I love them to much to be anywhere they're not <3 I can't wait for Monday so I can see my best friend again :D But this was a wonderful week away and I think everyone should go to Ireland because it's awesome :)

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

I hope your week was great and also filled with smiley people with awesome accents <3 

Much Love, Love Much-ly

#100happydays: day 12

Good Evening All :) 

I hope you are well and filled with positivity and smiles ... if your not check out my #100happydays: day 4 blog post, I left one of my spare smiles for you there so feel free to use it any time :) Erghh I just did self promotion within my own blog ... that wasn't intended honestly you don't have to read it or anything  haha I mean if you do that's great and very lovely of you but feel free to just take the free smile and ex the page ... why not ? free stuffs cool everyone likes free stuff ;)

Right now I should probably say something interesting or at least valid ...I'll try my best but as you know; I spend a lot of time living amongst my own thoughts of which are a conveyor belt of Carrie Hope Fletcher and Llamas ( My friend has a llama army of 5003 llamas's in her head .. the last 3 are paramedics :) ) What am I even meant to be talking about ... oh yeah #100happydays umm can't we just talk about ice cream . I really like ice cream especially Ben and Jerry's. People tell me that I can't eat a whole tub to myself because it's like a billion calories ... but let me tell you It's so worth every single one of those calories :) Anyway's I can burn it off with a the diet starts tomorrow workouts as I call them ;) My favourite Ben and Jerry's is probably the Half baked one because its got all those amazing mouth-watering cookie dough bits but this time it's in chocolate ice cream so the whole things one big taste sensation ! The brownie bit's are just a fantastic bonus ;) 

Just to give you an insight into how quickly my mind wonders ... This post was meant to be about being healthy and stuff but oh well maybe I'll do it another day because I really do want to do some posts about fitness ect. if you'd be interested but I want to make it clear that happiness is most important . Do what makes you happy because I care about you honestly , i pinkie promise that i care about you and love you so and you're happiness means a lot to me <3 The reason I'm into fitness is that a while ago I was very uncomfortable with myself and I wasn't happy because I was self-concious and to be honest just very negative ... That's not a way to live because there is no need to live like that . Positivity is an attitude choice and you can make that choice , I guarantee you will feel better for it :) Fitness is simply a way of helping to boost your positivity because it realises endorphins which put you on a natural high ... warning when I'm being even slightly technical I think and hope it's right but it's me sooo it could be wrong ;) There are lots of ways to boost positivity , maybe I will do I blog with a list ( woooo lists ) of my happy boosters or something like that :) 

Furthermore if nothing else.. I agree with Herm Albright :

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort"

- Herm Albright

I kinda want to follow this by quoting the Madagascar penguins with " Smile and wave boys, Smile and wave" but I dont think that's relevant ... It makes sense in my head ;)

If anyone's confused; my #100happydays was the treat of a Ben and Jerry's ice cream .. I actually didn't eat any tonight but we bought it in for tomorrow night so I could eat it while watching a movie so it's more the plans it symbolises that makes me happy ... Okay please excuse me, I realise how utterly ridiculous I am when I'm tired I'm very sorry for talking about symbolic ice cream haha ;) 

On That note I think it might be time for me to go to bed,

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

I hope your feeling a little more positive .. If nothing else you got a free smile I guess ;) 

Much love, Love much-ly
