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 )

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 DontBurstMyBubble xxx
I'm finally back off my wi-fi-less holiday and I had a great time :) I will most likely talk about that in this weeks Smiley Sunday post which I will probably post tomorrow because this is last weeks due to lack of wi-fi and oh my gosh I've written three lines and this is already confusing aha :) So for now, here is #100happydays day 65-71 and I hope you have a very wonderful and a smiley Sunday :)
#100happydays: day 65 ( Monday )
A post it note I left in MacDonald's <3
Today I went out with my friends and my boyfriend .. we didn't really do anything different to what we do every weekend which is : Eat MacDonald's , Chat in MacDonald's for an hour plus, Go to W.H.Smiths so I can look at the books ( the rest of my friends seem to find that bit abit less interesting ... so they wondered off to read '50 Shades of Grey' out loud in the children's section .. ummm yeah they're not normal aha I love them though :) ) Then we will walk over to the main town, go Costa, Pound land, Home Bargains, We used to go to the milkshake pallor but I don't think we're welcome there any more .. one of the employees found me trying to sell my friend to her boyfriend XD The exact words I think she heard were: " Her nose isn't that big once you get used to it " ... flighty awkward :) Finally to finish off the day we headed back to McDonald's because calories taste good, life is too short and why the hell not ? :) <3 What awkward/funny situations have you been in with your friends ? Comment bellow :)
#100happydays: day 66 ( Tuesday ) I spent most of this morning planning blogs and trying to work out when I'm going to have time to write them because of helping out at a summer school for the last two weeks of the summer holiday but when I'd had enough I began to procrastinate as usual and I would struggle to do that without my ukulele whom I named Aurora :) However in the afternoon I had to go and meet someone in Costa so I dragged myself away from my song writing at the promise of a free Costa :) Whilst at Costa I tried their ' Original Iced Lemonade' but I really can't decide what I think of it ... At first I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't fizzy at all and I didn't particularly think it tasted that good but then I found myself fancying some more and it's definitely grown on me :) What do you think about them ? <3 #100happydays: day 67 ( Wednesday )
Some days are going to start out rubbish . It's inevitable <3 But what way more in control is how they end :) Whether you're feeling scared, lonely, upset, heartbroken or just a bit rubbish-y for no apparent reason ; I'm really sorry you feel like that but today I proved to myself that those sort of days can get better <3 If you're struggling with a bad day I wrote a whole blog post about how to get out of feeling sad which you can find here :) When I woke up I was really stressed but me and a friend worked it out until we found a solution and then ate strawberry laces and everything felt better :) yourself can do this darlin' you're going to be okay and you can be a little bit more okay everyday I know you can <3 #100happydays: day 68 ( Thursday ) I quite happily spent this morning watching YouTube video's and planning blogs until my boyfriend came other :) We had a lovely night , I attempted to teach him how to play ukulele... he can NOT play ukulele aha :) After his ermmm interesting attempt we watched Gavin and Stacey episodes back to back all night because it's absolutely hilarious :) I don't think I know anyone who could watch that show and not be in love with it .. it makes me laugh and therefore makes me happy .. what part of that is not completely amazing ? <3 #100happydays: day 69 ( Friday )
I love how the butterfly isn't scared of something so different but still recognises it as wonderful <3
Waking up bright and early is a great way to feel ready to face the day... as long as you go straight back to sleep for several hours ;) Don't worry , that 's exactly what I did aha :) When I finally forced from my bed me and my boyfriend went into town to meet my friend and her boyfriend :) We went for a lovely walk, I thought I'd lost my phone and as my friends boyfriend chased after a stranger to ask him if he'd stolen my phone ... I found it in my bag ... yeah I'm an idiot XD I also saw some really cute graffiti which brightened my day and i bought a lovely bag which I will show you in my up-coming August favourites blog post :)

I loved the spacious living room ... which had leaking windows XD
I'm Going on an Adventure ! :D Today I'm travelling to Ireland and am super excited ( you can read about that in my 'I'm Going To Ireland' blog Post ) I was slightly less happy about this when I had to get up at 4;30 am ... and then realised that my mum only told me we were leaving at 5:30 so that I actually got up .. we didn't leave the house until 7am aha :) I know a lot of people find travelling boring but I really enjoy the time to just listen to my music and as for going on the ferry ... I LOVE the ferry ! I have no idea why but it just makes me so happy to be floating across the sea like a pirate <3 When we got to our holiday home the woman who was giving us the key literally gave us a list of things wrong with the house which I found hilarious .. needless to say my mother did not XD I then read all night and once I finished my book I snuggled up in my boyfriends top and fell asleep :) #100happydays: day 71 ( Sunday ) My first proper day in Ireland :) I went for a walk down beach when I got up and it was lovely I couldn't wait to swim.. swimming in the sea is one of my favourite things but you'll have here about that in the next smiley Sunday post :) The views we're stunning and I'd never been somewhere so lovely and the people were so .. so .. well friendly ! :D They nearly always smile back and say good morning in their wonderful accents and I couldn't be happier to be here :) If you're ever sad seriously go to Ireland <3
I wasn't aware that things could actually look this wonderful <3 :o
So all in all although this week has been stressful I really can't wait for this coming week because I get to spend it in Ireland :) I couldn't be happier about that fact <3 Have any of you ever been to Ireland ? Let me know if you have and where are your favourite places there ? :)
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
Things will get better ,
Much love, love muchly

P.s. Fun Fact : Ireland has won the Eurovision Song Contest a record seven times :) It seems they must be talented as well as lovely :)
Hello there :) This isn't what I'm mean to be doing ... I should be asleep because I've just got back from a lovely holiday in Ireland and I'm exhausted but If I am going to write a blog post I should definitely be catching up on the " Smiley Sunday " posts that I have missed whilst being away ( I've got two to write :/ ) However, I have just come over very very emotional ... I'm crying . I'm not sad though, or upset just emotional :') So why ? Why am I sat in my room crying slightly confused if not slightly happy .. ? Well the answer is that I don't know but as I'm feeling emotional, there are a lot of thoughts in my head , thoughts I want people to hear because they matter to me .. and I feel like they need hearing ( wow I'm REALLY tired aha ... I mean just look at that excellent wording ;) ) Firstly I thought I'd explain how I ended up feeling this randomly emotional ... okay well, as I've said I came back from a holiday in Ireland a few hours ago and whilst in Ireland I missed people an awful lot, esspecially my friends and boyfriend because I like being surrounded by people who understand all the aspects of my life, know how I'm feeling and how to make me feel better and good about myself .. that's what friendship is and I often refer to my friends as my un-biological family because they are everything to me .. I mean my best friend practically lives with me half the time aha :) I wouldn't change any of them for the world <3 So I had a build up of love for my friends whilst I was gone from realising how much I loved and respected them :) Love is a very strong emotion and I feel it an awful lot and often get it mixed up with compassion that I feel for strangers and this is definitely not going where I planned ... I'm sorry I think this is just going to be a vent tonight but If you understand or take anything from it then let me know but I'm very tired so sorry about this aha :) Anyways, I love strangers or I'm filled with compassion for them , this is something I find difficult to distinguish between because the compassion I feel for strangers is so strong . In my head I see a person, a human life that is precious and amazing walking down the street. I don't know this person but that's the beauty of it because I want them to know the things in my head because I don't know what that stranger is going through , I don't know if they are the happiest person on earth ( in which case I want to join them and show them that they are right to be happy and almost congratulate them on their wonderful perception of the world ) or they might be suicidal ( In which case I want to help them, show them some kindness just to let them know that the world does have some good in ) . Regardless of the persons situation, they do not know my and likely never will , the only judgement they could have on me is by looking at me and I can't do much with that rather than where a top that says " hi, I love you and I hope you're having a wonderful day but If not I hope it gets better " and as a top like that would be quite difficult to come by .. I decided to smile at every stranger I make eye contact with to let them know that I'm happy and want them to be happy, so there is still something good in the world <3 It's also because of this that I write hopeful notes to strangers to say the things I would say to them if it was socially acceptable to go up to them in the street , I want the world to be a better, happy place and I want people to know that it isn't that bad no matter what they're going through, It is definitely worth living in :)
This really isn't what I was going to talk about but I guess the reason I'm suddenly feeling even more attached to strangers is that in Ireland something AMAZING happened ! When I smiled at people... THEY SMILED BACK :D It actually makes my day every time someone smiles back because people smiling just makes the world a nicer place because every time you smile you actually feel better because it realises " Feel good" endorphins so now because of one simple action I made towards a person walking down the street, the worlds a very slightly happier place ... okay I do realise I sound made but I just feel so ... I don't know really . To be honest I wan't crying until I watched my idol, Carrie Hope Fletchers, most recent video ( I'll link to it here <3 ) I don't know what it was about the video but she was talking about people thanking her . As a result I realised how much Carrie has effected my life. Since I started watching "Itswaypastmybedtime" I've become more positive, learnt to see the world in a different way, started to try and show others this way of seeing and started leaving hopeful notes because Carrie's hopeful notes inspired me to start being confident enough to show kindness to strangers and my life would still be stuck in sadness and thoughts that I would just grow up and work in a job that could pay the bills but now I believe in myself and that's not arrogant . Self belief is important and I'm going to have to write a whole post about that but Carrie pressed that button and I am so grateful to her <3 I Have no idea what I have just written .. I'm sorry if my rambling was pointless , I'm aware the grammar was awful and the punctuation that is pretty much non existent but I'm so tired <3 Please let me know if you understood any of that .. I'm sorry If I just wasted your time , we'll be back to normal soon :) Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) I hope you're having a good holiday / life because you deserve one and I like you :) Much love, Love Much-ly DontBurstMyBubbleXx P.s. Today's quote is : " Keep Smiling and Stuff" - Dan Howell ( Danisnotonfire ) because it sounds as vauge, confused and relevant as I feel :) That sentence didn't even make sense aha ... I'm going to go to bed <3
I'm currently in Ireland ... well I'm not but I am when you're reading this :) Well that's if I can work out how to make this post while I'm away with no internet aha ..I'm hardly a technology genius as you can see from urmm just about everything that I write ;) Anyways ... It's no secret that I LOVE summer and in fact that I love lists sooo I couldn't help but think ... OH MY GOSH ! I can do a list of things I love about summer ! :D Yayyyy :) Then I found these awesome scrap booking tags in Hobbycraft which are just sooo cute and I decided to write them and stick them on my wall :) You can find them by clicking here <3 and amazingly they're only one pound so there's no excuse not to look for the good things in life ... come on :) It can't do any harm <3 So here's my list ( I'm aware my phones camera isn't fantastic and my hand writing is appalling so I will write what I have written on each tag in the caption .. I just thought the tags were too cute not to show you ) ENJOY :D :
Bright Colours :) The grass is a beautiful shade of green and that gorgeous blue sky <3
You can lie in a field for hours cloud watching and day dreaming :)
Picnics :D With triangle cut sandwiches <3
Barbecues in the evening ! YUMMY :P
They start selling Cheese bites at McDonalds ! mmmmm ( I can see these all being about food aha ;) )
Having an ice cold drink when it's boiling hot :) ... ( badly drawn drink hehe :) )
Wearing summer dresses and it being acceptable to wear daisy's on your head !
Swimming in the sea.
The Smell of the seaside :)
Going on holiday and having time to just run around being happy and yourself :D
So those are my top ten things I love about summer :) It's so wonderful to have the time to take time to see, admire and understand the beauty in the world that you usually don't even notice <3 So whilst you have the time please try to make seeing, a habit because you are worth all the wonderful things that the world is showing you but you just arn't quite noticing them :) If you don't know what I mean by " seeing " please read Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli and you will understand what I mean, my life has genuinely changed since I read it despite being aimed at slightly younger readers I feel that if you are understanding the book and taking the ever so important messages being portrayed so beautifully by Spinelli throughout the book then it's a must read at any age <3 Please feel free to comment your favourite things about summer in the comments :) If you need some inspiration ... here have a dancing, singing, adorable snowman :) By the way ; he likes warm hugs ;)
I hope you're having a fabulous holiday :)
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley

Helloooo :) Today is a wonderful day isn't it :) I mean the fact I will be getting up at four am tommorrow is slightly distressing I'm not going to lie aha but if you haven't noticed by the title of this post ... I'M GOING TO IRELAND :D I've always wanted to go and oh my gosh I can't wait :) I love the accent so much .. I'm actually considering kidnapping an Irish boy and taking him home with me to just read to me .. I don't think my boyfriend would mind that much, would he ? ;) So I've spent the last few days packing and carefully planning what I'm going to take ... and oh who am I kidding ? aha :) Okay I packed in about ten minutes using the very precise method of throwing everything that I don't hate into my suitcase as quickly as possible and then at the last minute realising that I hadn't packed underwear when I'd left no room and I know there's rain forecast but I couldn't not take my favourite dress could I ? So obviously the right decision was to take out the only jumper I had packed to make room :) Don't worry though .. I packed my Thumper onesie to keep me warm and cosy aha :) Unfortunately me going to Ireland does mean that I won't have any internet connection for a week so I won't be able to write or post blogs :( I'm really sorry about that because I really enjoy writing them as much as I hope you enjoy reading them . However I am hoping to use my holiday to plan lots of the blogs I've been thinking about for when I come back :)
I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful week and I love you very very much <3 Oooo I just want hug you all aha :) Please try to Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) By the way can I just say, " I couldn't help but notice darling, You're are looking ever so beautiful today " Feel free to let me know what you're going to be up to this holiday :) I'd love to hear about anywhere nice that you're going <3 Much Love, Love Much-ly DontBurstMyBubble xxx P.s. Today's quote is kind of just lovely :) So I thought you'd like to see it ... it's a nice thought <3 : “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” ― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky
Guess who's Smiley Sundays post is late again ... yeah that would be me :/ sorry bout that :) I've just been feeling ill and been too busy to have time to feel ill which made me feel ill-er and now I'm having a pyjama day because being lazy can be nice sometimes :) I've had a pretty good week so here it is :) :
#100happydays: day 58 ( Monday )
Soo Monday :) Well I was having a not particularly fantastic day .. but then my boyfriend turn up at my house with flowers and Magic stars ( Best chocolate ever :D ) which just made everything feel lovely and just lots of smiles :)
Roses and Pinkie Promise's
#100happydays: day 59 ( Tuesday )
We're going on a bear hunt ;) Grrr
Well this was a lovely day :) I woke up and then went back to sleep for two hours in a different bed ... as you do ;) Then when me and my boyfriend finally got up we attempted to tidy and re-arrange my bedroom ... that didn't go particularly well so my best friend came over , we made some pizza and waffles, ate it on the trampoline because tables are clearly to mainstream ;) and then played "football" for a few hours .. another thing I can't do well aha but it was a laugh especially with my very professional Disney princess football XD Around five o'clock I had to get ready to go see a production of " The two gentlemen of Verona" at The Royal Shakespeare Theatre with my boyfriend and youth group :) I must say the performance surpassed my expectations and I would recommend this hilarious romantic comedy to anyone even if at first glance, Shakespeare does not seem like your cup of tea :) Additionally, as we were leaving the theatre I noticed a giant stuffed bear looming above me ( don't worry, it didn't eat me ;) ) but what really intrigued me was when I looked down at the sign of it's feet ( well paws ) which read " Please Don't Feed The Bear " and made me giggle so I just thought I'd share it with you :) #100happydays: day 60 ( Wednesday ) Urmmm how do I some up today ? well I stayed in bed, wrote a blog, planned a blog, researched for blogs, ate pita bread pizza, went to my singing lesson and wrote another blog ... pretty normal day ... oh wait ! No it wasn't ! I got a kinder egg :D Do you want to know what's even better ? It had a toy car in it :D YAYYYYY .. okay I'm too excited about this for my age aha :) Come on though .. everyone loves a toy car ;) #100happydays: day 61 ( Thursday ) Today I felt down for no apparent reason but then I got a penpal in america which made me really happy because I LOVE writing letters because they're just so wonderful to send and to receive :) So I wrote our first letter which is hopefully the first of many and then treated myself to a milkyway out of a little shoe box of things to make me happy that a friend made me bless her :) <3
Letter to the Stars :) <3
#100happydays: day 62 ( Friday ) I love, love, love writing hopeful notes :) So today I went out with my friend and about fifty hopeful notes to cover our local town in them because it's so important to do things to make other people smile and I promise it will make you feel at least a lil bit better too <3 However the highlight of my day was a little odd .. but I still think it's incredabily worthy all the same :) Have you heard of "MashTags" These are possibly the coolest and yummiest things I have ever seen .. yes, I do intend to live off them :D #100happydays: day 63 ( SATURDAY ) By far today must have been one of the best days that I've had in a long time :) You know those days where you come home and can't stop smiling because you feel like you can fly and nothing and nobody will bring you down ( this is starting to sound like a reference to Wicked aha :) ) Well today I turned up at my best friend door with a basket of lolly pops, strawberry laces, Buenos and Daim bars as well as a bunch of flowers and when she opened the door it went like this ... Me : "Hello, I'm going to be your date for today :) Would you like to go on an adventure? " My Best Friend : " No." Me : " Oh .. well that's awkward " XD So after that fabulous start I lured her into the car with sweets to take her to an unknown destination ... great now I sound like a paedophile.. this isn't going very well is it aha :) This was all a birthday treat by the way aha . So we drove for about 45 minutes and then parked in a field and then walked for ages until she spotted a sign that said " Pet Show " ... this was followed by her making several comments such as : " Why the hell would I want to go here ? " and " Yeah, I would be really excited if I was six. " Then we went inside ... this was also followed by several comments including : " Oh my gosh ! This is the best birthday present ever ! " and " I love you so much ! " and " This is so good :) Can we come again next year ? "
I think I might of proved her expectations wrong aha :) But we had an absolutely amazing day ! We held snakes, tortoises, took pictures of lizards.. *cough* and the hot boy holding the lizard *cough* aha :) But the highlight for me was when we went to get a crepe ... now I LOVE crepes so I ordered one with butterscotch sauce on, yummy ! :) Whilst the boys were cooking the crepe they were messing around and it wasn't until we had eaten the crepe that I realised they hadn't asked me to pay so i'd forgotten ... so I took them the money and they gave me a free crepe with chocolate sauce on for my honesty :) YAYYYY aha and with this in mind today's quote will be : “To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.” ― Mahatma Gandhi #100happydays : day 64 ( Sunday )
Carboot sale !!! I had a carboot sale and really enjoyed talking to all the strangers about the lovely weather and everyone was just so smiley , it was just .. happy :) In the evening me and my boyfriend watched " The Secret of Moonacre " because it's freaking awesome ... there's a black lion ... A BLACK LION ! :D If you haven't watched it then you should because its all magical and magic's awesome because then anything can come true ... we all have some magic inside you but you have to look at even glitter from the right angle to see it sparkle <3 But I promise you I can see your sparkle even if you can't :) Just Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) and I promise if you look hard even from every single angle you will see the sparkle I see in you and oh my gosh it's worth the wait <3 Much love, Love Much-ly DontBurstMyBubbleXx
Heyyy :D Wow this month has gone fast ! I'm in such a good mood, it's such a lovely day :) I know that's irrelevant but I guess I feel like it's important to acknowledge what a beautiful day it is and that the world isn't actually all that bad :) I can't believe it's already time to write another favourites blog .. I mean I'm happy about it because I love writing at these because It leads you to think about your month and look for the good things but wow it's gone so so fast :) So without any further a do I guess we better get started :) Cinema :)
I mentioned In my first "Smiley Sundays " I went to see Mrs Browns Boys D'movie the other day at the cinema and it was hilarious :) It's a great pick me up if you're feeling down because you can't help but laugh .. and there's blind ninjas ... so you should go aha :) I really enjoyed the film, the plot line was interesting .. well anything involving Mrs Brown usually ends up rather interesting regardless ;) But watching her and her family fight to save her market stall whilst desperately searching for a solution to the very very large debt that she has inherited amongst uncontrollable laughter is definitely two hours well spent :) Books :)
Usually I recommend three books that I have met throughout the month but unfortunately I only had time to read one book and I was reading another but its gone missing which is really annoying because it was getting to the good bit but this means I will only be able to recommend one book this month and I'm actually really sorry but I promise there will be three next month <3 however the book I did read was outstanding. I saw 'Breaking Butterflies' by M.Angelais on the top self in W.H.Smiths when I was out with my friend .. The title attracted my attention because butterflies are a symbol to me and many people I know, of staying strong ( Type 'the butterfly project into google') so I'm automatically intiguied by anything to do with butterflies .. plus they're pretty aha :) But the blurb of the book gave nothing away .. and I mean nothing . So I started to read the first few pages of the book ... I understood what was going on, I was interested and really enjoying it ... but I still didn't know what it was about or where it was going . Then my birthday came and someone gave me the book as a present because they knew I wanted it, so I continued to read and I continued to enjoy the book and I continued to not know what it was about or where it was going literally until the last page . Then I understood that the book could not be explained only read, I can't tell you what it's about even the basic plot line without ruining the whole thing but I can tell you it's breath taking, it leaves you with your heart in your chest, filled with fear, confusion and every emotion you never even knew you had <3 I loved this book and I'm sure you will love it too so please read it because it's absolutely amazing and if you have or when you have please let me know what you think in the comments :) Song :) I was planning to say my favourite song for this month is Little Bird by Ed Sheeran and you should definitely check it out because it puts me in a good mood .. it's sort of the song you want to listen to when your feeling all loved up :) But then yesterday I heard one a song written by a YouTuber who's channel is called DoddleOddle called a 'A permanent hug from you ' it's just really sweet and cute and makes me feel all warm and snuggly inside <3 Plus Dodie Clark ( DoddleOddle) is such a talented singer and she sings it as a duet with Tessa Violet which is absolutely gorgeous , they're both such wonderful young women :)
Clothing :)

I'm not sure i'm at the point of wanting to become a nudest yet though ;) This month I'm absolutely loving the clothing being made by the woman behind a twitter account called @againstsuicide they do such good work and you should definitely follow them and check out her clothes and I am in love by the motivational Penguin top ;) i will definitely be buying this :) You can buy it by clicking here <3
Etsy :) This won't be the first time I've mentioned just how much I love and am completely obsessed with 'Looking for Alaska' By John Green but I've found the cutest notebook on Etsy :) You can find it here :)
Website :) As a result of my never ending love of Carrie Hope Fletcher and her YouTube channel 'ItsWayPastMyBedTime' I was lead to DFTBA to buy her merch ( I'm always wearing my hopeful top and my signed poster is my pride and joy aha ... but the fact i don't yet have the mug does make me feel a little sad ) but then I found tons of merch for all the things I love including John Green's stuff :) My top three things from there are :

Thoughts and Nonsense is a really creative Channel where the girl who makes the videos doesn't actually appear in the videos but writes down what she want's to get across in her notebook in loads of different awesome styles of writing :) They're are really impressive and unique and she deserves way more subscribers than she has so it would be really great if you'd go have a look :)
