#100happydays : day 48 ( "Life is an occasion, Rise to it" )

Good evening :)

I know I'm late again but my laptop should be fixed by Tuesday or Wednesday which should make well everything easier aha :) Today's been good , it was the last day of my work experience and I spent most of it discussing pranks to do on the last day of school and college ... my personal favourites included cling filming year 7's to trees and getting escorted from the school so throwing water balloons at the window with actual catapults ( something the woman I was talking to actually did with her year group aha ) When I came home I was exhausted and barely had time to get ready before my boyfriend came over ( I don't actual know why I bothered straightening my hair, my straighteners are so rubbish that my hair was wavy again before he even got there ) however, I still managed to fit in ten minutes of piano playing only in chords though because I'm useless on piano despite seven years of lessons as a child I wasn't even good enough for grade one XD I would actually I was talentedly untalented ;) But I managed to write another verse to a song I was writing regardless  :)

#100happydays
Then me and my boyfriend attempted to watch Peter Pan ( Yes, it was my choice ;) ) but the DVD wasn't working (noooooooooooooo ) so we ( I ) decided that we should watch Mr Magoriums Wonder Emporium ( also my choice ;) ) I just love this film , I don't even have a reason :) I think It might just be that one of the quotes from the film is one of my favourite quotes :

" Life is an occasion, rise to it . "

I find this quote says a lot <3 it's just too true and when you think about it a good way to live because it really fits in with the topics of everyday is special and make every second count. Sometimes we forget just how precious and amazing life really is even if it's something a bit rubbish at that particular moment in time :)

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
I'm actually kind of getting really excited for my birthday tomorrow so I need to try get some sleep :)
Much love, Love Much-ly

#100happydays:day 47 ( Jumping to my feet :) )


Helloo :)
 
I don't know about you but I am in a way better mood today :) I feel like ... you know when your sat on the floor and then it's time to go but you can't bothered to get up so you put your hands out and one of your friends pull you up so fast that you kind of jump up and suddenly feel energised and like you want to find all the good things and just smile about them ... well yeah I feel like that aha :)
 

Yesterday I was feeling a bit/a lot rubbish and that's okay ( I talked about this in my previous blog which you can find here :) ) But it's important to know when it's time to pick yourself up and jump into action, all positivity guns blazing :D Actually I feel like guns isn't really the right word to go after positivity aha .... so maybe ermm more like party poppers or something ;) As a result, today I started to spot loads of good things that made me happy and to be honest it was lovely :)
 
Firstly I was in a rush to get to work experience because I over slept so unfortunately I had to grab any socks as fast as I could and obviously they wouldn't be black because that would just be too good wouldn't it aha :) Nope they were bright blue with white roses on but i soon cheered up the moment my mum told me that these socks were actually made of bamboo ! :) Wow. Bamboo socks. Life has got better ;) I don't know how they made them but I'm impressed aha :)

#100happydays

Then still baffled from this amazing discovery , I was told that the school I was doing work experience in was having kind of an activity day. So I was sent to help out in paper crafting :) First I made a decoupage card with a really cute bear on ( awww ) and then we were taught how to do very basic tea bag folding which I thought was really awesome and made really cute patterns and shapes . If you look it up on google there's loads of things teaching you how to do it and all the more advanced ones :) I stuck mine to my card which I have now written to give to my best friend when I next see her because she's amazing <3  
 
 
When I came home from work I found my cat sat in the window looking like a lion ( A black extremely fluffy lion ) and it made me giggle but he's really not very good for taking photos of .. but I'll show you anyway :) I can only assume the poor thing must of been exhausted from a long day of sleeping and getting fur all over my bed aha ;)
 
 
 
Afterwards I went to my youth group and crept up quietly behind my friend and raw-erd at her and she jumped out her skin aha :) It was literally the funniest thing I had ever seen :') Despite me scaring the life out of her she still handed me a beautifully wrapped birthday present with instructions not to open it until Saturday ( my birthday ) I really hate waiting aha :) The anticipation is killing me and its practically a form of torture to have to watch it sat across my room practically begging to be opened ;) I'm actually getting kind of excited for my birthday even though I'm not doing anything in particular for it but I find people tend to be happier on peoples birthdays and I just love being around people who are smiley :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The same friend who gave me this wonderfully wrapped present , told me earlier this week that her mum was feeling down. That made me sad because everyone deserves to be happy so I made her a lemon drizzle cake ( click here :)    to find out how I made it <3 ) and I wrote her a letter , telling her five good things about her because I've never met this woman but I'm sure she's lovely and I want her to be happy no matter what <3 My friend text me when she had given her mum the cake and the letter and said that her mum had tears in her eyes when she was reading the letter and that she hadn't seen her mum so happy in ages and this coincidentally made me cry just a lil bit because it meant the world to me :)
 
Following this, things just kept getting better and my mum bought chocolate Yazoo milkshakes which are practically my favourite drink ever :) They even had cute little straws attached to them :o <3  



So I can't deny that today things got better so today's quote is :

" Be strong because things will get better. It may be stormy now, but it never rains forever "

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
Your storm will pass soon , just keep going <3
Much Love, Love Much-ly

#100happydays: day 46 ( Really, Really Small Things )

Well hello there gorgeous :)

Can I just say that you are looking particularly wonderful today ... wow. Seriously you look stunning <3 I'm sorry this is a day late, like I mentioned, my laptop is broken making it very difficult to write daily because well I need a laptop to write aha :) I also felt a bit rubbish after a series of bad events within the twenty-four hours that made me one to curl up into a little ball and stay in bed all day .. we've all been there left missing someone so much it hurts but I knew there still had to be good things even if they were so small that they were miniscule they had to be there :) So I made a quick list because a) I like lists and b) to force yourself to find things that are good is the best way to find them so here we go :

1) I saw this picture on Facebook and it made me smile ... smiling's good so this has to be a good thing :)


2) I worked with the lovely woman I talked about in my last blog ( You can find it here :)  all day :)

3) My sister said I could use her laptop whilst she was in Germany so I have a laptop for two days <3

4) One of the people I was working with gave me a freddo ( I don't actually like Cadbury's ) but it made me smile anyway and I ate it regardless because well ... it's chocolate aha :) So that's todays #100happydays photo ... yeah I ate it before I could remember to take a photo aha, sorry bout that ;)  

 
 
5) I started writing a new song and I feel like it's going well :)
 
 
Actually I feel a lot better now I've started thinking of good things by just looking closer at the day I can see even more good things like the way I felt better after a long phone call with my boyfriend :) However it is okay not to be okay for a while because unless we take a little bit of time to let ourselves take things in and let ourselves be a bit down, it will all build up and be twenty times worse and way harder to pick yourself up <3 So If you're feeling a little or a lottle bit rubbish take some time out for you , allow yourself to spend a day eating chocolate and feeling sorry for yourself but make sure at the end of the day you can still list five good things because otherwise you might (not lose your spark) but forget how to relight it again and we wouldn't want that would we ;) But no matter how rubbish you feel remember that it s going to be okay <3 I don't know how long it's going to take but it will be okay you just need to Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) I pinkie promise you that .
 

Anyways I'm going to go now because I want to right today's blog because I'm not going to lie, today went ALOT better and I'm feeling way happier and I really don't want sad stuff on here :) This is our happy bubble for me and you <3
I hope your day is going well or getting better :)
Much love, Love much-ly

P.s. Today's quote is completely irrelevant to anything at all but I saw it today and just had to share it with you :)

#100happydays: day 45 ( Dream World )

Good Afternoon :)

I've been working all day again and have met one lovely woman who was incredibly helpful ... and looked remarkably like my maths teacher, which made me happy for some unknown reason :) I'm currently sat in a library listening to a song that I have recently fallen in love with on repeat because I love repetition for some unknown reason aha :) Despite loving this song, I'm not actually that fond of the original but the recent cover by Bryaly Bishop is amazing so I'm currently trying to learn " Grey or Blue" with my rather impressively awful guitar skill's ;) I know some people are like oh my gosh I'm so bad at * insert something they're amazing at here * but no I'm actually appalling ... actually its less guitar playing and more going for it whilst singing at the top of my voice whilst my dad sits downstairs presumably waiting for the time when I can move out and annoy someone else haha ... I would be if I was him <3

What was even meant to be talking about ? I don't have any idea how I got onto the topic of guitars so I guess I should start talking about today's #100happydays :) I was going to write about dreams... I still will but I just got distracted momentarily by the most lovely woman who I wanted to say something about because I think she made my day , actually I think she makes a lot of peoples day's but I doubt she knows it <3 I was sat in the library typing away and she was hovering and she stopped to have a ten minute conversation with me :) I have spoken to her before , she helps out in learning support I think and is absolutely amazing, I could see right through her hazel eyes into her kind, compassionate soul <3 You know when you talk to someone and you're just like oh my gosh I just want to take you out to the theater and you're praying they'll have kids because you just know what an great mother she will be <3 This woman just fills my heart with compassion, respect and love ... she's magic , perhaps she is actually an angel and not even just a metaphorical one :) I just wanted to say something about her because the fact there are people like her out there restores my faith in humanity , she has so little yet appreciates so much , she is more loved than she could know yet gives more love than i thought a person could hold , her joy over other peoples joy is heart warming and I can say with a heart filled with no doubt only admiration that she inspires me to be like her ... infact I think I might bake her a cake to thank her for being such a lovely person <3 It sadden's me to know she will never read this but regardless thank you <3 You're beautiful inside and out :) I feel like this is a really long version of Carrie Hope Fletcher's," things i'll never say" cards :) Look it up on YouTube if you don't know what I'm taking about aha .

Okay now I've got that out into the world, lets chat about the #100happydays challenge :) Today it's a dream because the dream has been making me smile all day, every time I told someone about it so I thought I'd share it with you because I like you :) Obviously I couldn't take a picture of my dream ( I wish I could because then I might remember a little more than the tiny bit I remember aha ) But I found a picture that I thought represented it ... I did my best I guess ;) I know this is off topic but yesterday I was at a primary school waiting in the reception and I could here them chanting over and over in assembly " Be happy, be happy, be happy today , and always do your best !" it made me smile so \I thought i'd tell you aha it was like the best thing I'd ever heard :') Anyways , so in my dream I'm not really sure what happened , I just remember at the end I was walking home with someone and I saw my boyfriend and said hi before carrying on walking and then I ran back and hugged him , then we went and sat down somewhere and he was showing me these rainbow snails and he told me that if they had rainbow swirls on them then they were male aha :) 

On that note I should probably be off before someone admits me to a ward for people suffering from insanity which I assure you I am not... In fact I very much enjoy my weird happy little world and insanity is the nicest place I've been in a long while ;) 

Today's quote a friend sent me who's actually a hopeful , she found it whilst shopping in Evolution which is a awesome shop which I could happily spend my whole day in ... actually my whole life aha :) As she put it " I could just buy the whole shop " I don't know if I've mentioned it before but she has a blog that's very positive and smiley ( I'm not saying this because were friends, we started talking because I messaged her about liking her blog ) You can find that here :) but the quote she sent me read : 

"'play like there are no winners, give like you have pleanty, smile till your face hurts"

I just really liked it and thought it was a great quote to live b :)


Remember to Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 
Thank you for taking the time to read my little ramblings,I really do appreciate it <3 
Much Love, Love Much-ly

#100happydays: day 44 ( Heigh Ho, Heigh ho, it's off to work we go )

Good afternoon :) 

#100happydays photo :) 
I'm in a very Disney mood because I just met the loveliest woman whilst I was writing some hopeful notes, who was telling me about how she's going on a Disney cruise and although I am undeniably incredibly jealous , I was just thrilled by her enthusiasm and hope and it just filled me with happiness so now I'm in a fantastic mood :) I know I've now ruined the chronological order that this blog was meant to be in but I just couldn't wait to tell you :D Wow I like being happy ... I think I'm gonna do this more often aha :) 

Anyways, now I've got that little ( MASSIVE ) burst of excitement off my chest I guess I better say something normal ... so urmm hi ? nah I don't do normal I just get way to bored and sad if I'm being normal for too long :) I mean who wants to be normal ? Be yourself ! why ? because you're wonderful and special and so beautifully unique that it would be practically a crime to not allow the world the pleasure of seeing the real you shining through that made up facade that society put up for you ( I mean it was very nice of them to try but we don't need them to hide behind anymore ) You are You isn't that absolutely brilliant you are the only you out there so stop hiding that :) 

Following on from that unplanned second outburst of emotions aha is today quote :

" Be yourself , everyone else is already taken " 
- Oscar Wilde 

Wow, okay I seriously need to work on my rambling aha :) So today I started my work experience helping out in the special needs department of a school, only I didn't really because today I went out shadowing an educational psychologist ( I know, I didn't like how serious that sounds either ;) ) It was really interesting but not positive enough for me to particularly care to remember for the now because I don't want to write about sad things because there's so many positive things in the world , why focus on the negative minority just because; as John Green so beautifully ( as he puts everything ) puts it  " Pain demands to be felt" .. so when sad things start getting demanding I like to climb into my metaphorical happy bubble and think about nice things because a lot of the time I can't do anything about the sad things and worrying rarely achieves anything so I'd rather smile :) However when I was out I was asked to do some filing and yes that sounds boring and actually it was very boring however I like to think of it as good time to listen to my music because that sounds nicer than filing <3 I thought I'd share with you my top 10 songs ( In no particular order ) to work to in that sort of way and by that I mean work that involves moving slightly and requires some form of positive motivation :) Although I like these songs they're not necessarily my favourite's but they did put me in a good mood and gave me a great working attitude at the time .. but will probably of changed by tomorrow because my brains temperamental and  I'd like to apologies on it's behalf for that reason aha :) 

So here we go :) Top ten feel good songs... for today ;) 

1) For Baltimore - All Time Low 
2) This Kiss - Alex Day ft. Carrie H Fletcher 
3) Give Me Love - Ed Sheeran
4) Four Simple Words - Frank Turner
5) Lighthouse - Lucy Spraggan
6) Long Live - Taylor swift
7) Lightening In A Bottle - The Summer Set
8) Real Girls Eat Cake - The Janoskians 
9) My Favourite Thing To Sing - Tonight Alive 
10) Lived a Lie - You Me at Six 

Let me know what your favourite positive/feel good songs are in the comments,
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 
I hope you have a truly wonderful day and are feeling equally positive :) If not I recommend listening to a few Disney songs and singing along because I always feel better after a sing song aha <3 
Much Love, Love Much-ly

#100happydays: day 43 ( Broken Screens not Broken Hearts )

Hello :) 

Guess who broke the laptop ? Me :) I'm just generally impressive like that so obviously the moment to guarantee finished on it I just magically have to break the screen , it's a talent of mine really aha ;) Unfortunately this does make writing blogs problematic until I get a new one which won't be for a very long while soo I guess I'm kind of worried about that ( I'm writing this one on a computer at work experience ) I do visit my dad a few times a week so If I end up having to write them on my phone where I can't edit font or colour as far as I'm aware then I'm really sorry but I will edit them whenever I have access to a computer <3 I was pretty upset when I released my laptop was broken because I've become rather attached to my little positivity blog but the important thing to remember when stuff like this happens is that it could be worse , it could always be worse and it could always be better and regardless of which comes first, in the end it will be better :) You just have to keep going and I know you strong enough to do that because you're cool like that ;)  So I sat down and told myself to calm down and that I still have so much that is way more important that a laptop because I have a wonderful group of hilarious, kind and beautiful friends who are practically my family, a wonderful boyfriend, a cat who's really fluffy to cheer me up when I'm down and so much more :) When you're down no matter what has happened it really helps to count your blessings , even if it's as small as I saw a old couple today holding hands in the street and it was really cute or the sky's a nice shade of blue today, I promise you it's there :) I wrote a whole blog about seeing the good small things on terrible big days which you can find here :) Once I was calmer and had put things into perspective I managed to find ways around my laptop being broken like doing it on my phone and editing later because really it's a bit of plastic and a few wires it's not like I'd had my heart ripped out or anything so really I'm doing quite well aha :D

My day luckily did improve despite it being a bad hair day ( no seriously a really, really bad hair day aha ) I went to see my dad for a little bit and he'd bought The Book Thief for us to watch. I would do a review only I don't particularly enjoy writing them or reading them unless I am extremely passionate about the book ( I never get passionate enough about films ) however on the subject I may at some point in the near future do a review of John Green's "Looking for Alaska" because I'm telling you now that I am absolutely head over heels in love with that book :) So let me know in the comments if that's something you would be interested in <3 Anyways back to The Book Thief , I have read the book and it was well written and I would highly recommend it to anyone probably over the age of thirteen ( but that's just my opinion ) It is a very long book and I did have to take a break halfway through but once I picked it up and got back into it I really enjoyed it despite the many tears that I wept whilst reading it :) The film adaptation was good and whilst I was constantly frustrated by the amount of the book that was missed out ( seriously it was actually impressive how much they dropped) I found the acting side of it was filled with moving and fantastic performances throughout the whole cast :) Oh and you just need to know, you will fall in love with Papa and you will cry <3  I know I just said I don't like doing reviews but I do like doing mini reviews like the one above because they're not really reviews and don't take up a whole post they're just short and sweet like me :) ... well I'm short at least ;) 



I then went to see my boyfriend where he attempted and I mean attempted aha to teach me how to play bass ... yeah that didn't work out  ;) So we cuddled and watched the original teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films like the mature young adults that we are ;) I've actually become really fond of those films I'm all mixed up with happiness over how much for some unknown reason I seem to like the films and slight shame because of how much happiness it brings me ... actually no I'm just happy because you should never be ashamed of something that makes you happy well that's my excuse anyways :) unless your a paedophile at which point you probably should because that's not nice aha . After this I went home and decided to get an early night because I had work experience the next day , so I watched a few YouTube videos and found a YouTuber that I had heard of but never really watched and saw the latest video of his called " "60 seconds that will change your life"  Please watch it , I don't have anything else to say on the matter other that Subscribe to Sam Pepper and just watch it <3 

Today's quote is from The Silver Linings Playbook :

" You have to do everything you can, you have to work your hardest and if you stay positive; you might have a shot at a silver lining " 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 
You're doing a great job at procrastinating from whatever your supposed to be doing :) So thank you for procrastinating with me aha If you want to procrastinate with me again  tomorrow then you can follow me on twitter so I can let you know when I've posted <3 You can find me @MyHappyBubbleXx

#100happydays: day 42 ( Shop, Shop, Shop, Shopping :) )

Hii :)
 
How are you ? I hope you're doing well :) As you can probably guess buy the title , I've been shopping today so I thought I'd show you some of the things I bought and some that I found and didn't buy but hopefully will one day when I have money aha because I like being nosy ... so I'll assume you do too and well if you don't my bad :) Unfortunately I can't show you some of my favourite purchases because they are presents for my friends birthday next week and she reads my blog posts because she's awesome aha but if anyone's interested then let me know in the comments and I will post about the presents I got her after her birthday :)
 
So Firstly I found a lovely shop called LIV Furniture full of lots of lovely little ( and big) things with cute retro and vintage feels to them :) My favourite thing that I found is a Travel Journal that I will link to here <3 It's just one of those things that you see and instantly fall in love with :) However one thing that was slightly less gorgeous about it was the price ;) At £19.99 I couldn't really justify buying it but at some point I hope to travel and I'm praying this pretty little book will still be waiting for me :)
After this, I went on to my favourite vintage shop which stocks everything from 1940 style clothes with their fabulous floral patterns to necklaces with stunning pocket watches which I have loved since I first saw them ( I've often bought them as gifts and I actually have no idea why I have never bought one for myself )The shop is called Aspire and I will link to their website here :)  Here are a few of my finds :
 

I loved this little tag on the back of a travel wallet :) I realise it's very difficult to read, so I shall type it here because it made me smile and you too, deserve to smile :

"Address : Lets run away
                2a Faraway Land
                Just you and me
                hand in hand "

I will link to the travel wallet here so you too can enjoy the cuteness that made my day :) So this was todays #100happydays picture <3

 
 Next on my list was a trip to boots because I needed new foundation and I was low on primer :) I'm not a beauty blogger so I can't give you much but my opinions ... sorry bout that aha :) But I thought I'd try out a new foundation so I  bought " Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse" I must say so far it's really good :) I got it in the lightest shade because I'm the palest person you could ever wish to meet ( If you ever feel bad about your lack of tan, feel free to come and stand next to me and I guarantee that you will feel like your from the Bahamas aha ;) ) It gives great coverage and is really good if you suffer from oily skin :) I also bought a new primer that I have had before (also by Maybelline) I love primers and am always on the look out for ones that keep me make up in place all day because I really don't have the time to re-apply my make up throughout the day and "Maybelline Baby Skin " primer is fantastic for doing just that :) I'm sorry I can't say more on them but I really am useless at saying anything about make up other than " well it was good I guess " ;)
 
Onto Clothing I bought two new tops , both from Newlook :) One for work experience next week and one because Harry Potters amazing and I'm slightly obsessed aha <3 See if you can tell which is which ;)
 
 
I love this top it's really light and will be great for summer as well as work experience you can find it here . Please try the top on though because it looks so much better on :)
 
 
 
 
I've spoken about Harry potter before and I did a post about my trip to the Warner Brother studios which you can find here and I just had to buy this top to feed my ever growing obsession ;) You can find that here <3
 
 
 
Finally for some crafty stuff I stopped at The Works because everything's cheap there and I have no money aha :) I bought a make your own Dream catcher for 99p , Some cute letters to decorate for 99p and a book of origami projects for £1.99 .... see what I mean by cheap aha :)
 
 
 


Oh wait my bad ,that wasn't finally aha woops anyways after that I went to Paperchase to get some origami paper but I also bought a cute organiser which I fell min love with and at only £8 I couldn't just leave it there could I ?So I brought it home with me :)
 



Okay so that was my actual finally ;) Let me know if you like this sort of thing or you just want me to be quiet and stick to what I know aha ( I won't be offended honest I know I don't have a clue when it comes to make up ;) ) If you like anything here let me know or if you've found any pretty little things then feel free to comment them :)
 
 
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
 
Todays quote is something I found on a cute little box whilst I was out today, unfortunately I couldn't take a picture but here is what it said :
 
" If there was no change, There would be no butterflies "
 
Much love, Love Much-ly (someone told me today that this reminded them of the hatter in Alice in Wonderland saying "Never lose your muchness and it made me smile :) )
