Thought provoking Quotes

Monday again :) 

I've actually grown to quite like Mondays so since I'm in a good mood I thought we could get all deep and talk about words that make me think :) I'm forever going on about how much I absolutely love reading through quotes , but my favourites are always the ones I've had to think about or that have impacted on how I act around and treat my friends, family, strangers and myself  

:)  So today I thought I'd share some of my favourite quotes that make you think :)

I hope you liked these quotes :) I've found them all over the last year while just flicking through the internet instead of doing chemistry homework but these are my all time thought provoking quotes that make me see life a lil bit differently and look at it a lil bit harder :) I might do another one of these but for different kinds of quotes like the most beautiful quotes or sweetest love quotes ect but we'll have to wait and see :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

I hope you have a wonderful week filled with smiles and good coffee shops

P.s. I know I promised a post on the hopeful notes but I'd already written this post and I was super tired so I'll reschedule hopeful notes for next week but I'm super sorry :) 

Be The Good In The World :)

Heyyy  !

I've been in a really nice mood today, you know when you can see the sparkles in everything and it's just all rather lovely ? :) I've had a lot of mock exams this week so have really enjoyed just relaxing and flicking through my favourite online haven on the bus journey's home, thank god for Pinterest <3 I hope if any of you have been having mock exams that they've gone really well or at least you make all the mistakes on this one instead of your real one , i guess mock exams arn't meant to be gotten right since their purpose is to find your weaknesses so you can patch them up before your final exams :) So don't worry too much about them <3 Anyways, here are some of my favourite pins from the long journeys home !

You have to love Riversong :) There's something about her that you really can't even comment on her sass ! 

I really like this ! There's no point expecting kindness if you don't add a little to the world :) "Be the change you want to be in the world " - Gandhi

 

This is such a cute idea for a spring or summer garden party and so easy ! I can't believe i've never done this before :) 

The point being, that this cactus now has a hedgehog and I STILL don't have one ;) 

Pretty words ^.^ 

..... When River meets the Nazi's ..... my life feels better now xD 

Yes. 

Happy Otterrr !!!!!!! :D I want ! 

This is a nice thought to have <3 Remember that you're doing good enough and everyone else is too , we'll all get to where we want to be in  the end :) 

I think this would be super cute if you framed it and really easy to do :) All my favourite things aha <3 

I really hoped you liked this post :) Check back on Monday for a post that I've been promising for months ! All about the hopeful notes :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

Like Gold Dust ! ( Magic Hot Chocolate Recipe )

Happy Monday !

So in Thursdays post I promised the cosy. wonderful, warmness of hot chocolate :) However, since it's Monday I thought we might all need something a lil bit stronger... so I added magic gold dust ^.^ I hope you like it , trust me this is the nicest thing everrrrr :)

The Nicest, Most Magical-ist Hot Chocolate Ever !

 

What You'll need :

• 1 wonderful mug ( Mines a hopeful mug designed by Carrie Hope Fletcher, you can find them here )
• A pack of chocolate chips , you'll need between 4 and 5 teaspoons of them depending on how rough your day was <3
• A tub of ice cream ( Always Chocolate !! ... actually I bet this would taste pretty nice with toffee ice cream as well ) :)
• A mugs worth of milk 
• Edible Gold glitter, although they don't tell you on the packet because it's a big secret so don't tell anyone ; it's actually fairy dust !!!! :D

Step 1 : Pop 4 teaspoons of chocolate chips into your mug and then add an extra one for smiles, luck, hope , any excuse you can find to justify chocolate really ;)




Step 2 : Fill the mug about one third the way up with milk and microwave for 1 minute and stir until all the chocolate has melted into the milk :)



Step 3 : fill the rest of the mug with milk and microwave for 2 more minutes :)





Step 4 : Add 2-4 scoops of ice cream and sprinkle with fairy dust  or as the government want us to think, "Edible Gold Glitter " aha ;)

And there it is ! The bestest, most magical-ist hot chocolate ever ! The ice cream cools the hot chocolate as it goes into your mputh and gives it the most gorgeous taste ever ! :)

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

Check back on Thursday for this week top ten pins !

Don't forget to have a wonderful week even if the week refuses to be wonderful ^.^

Much love, Love much-ly

Hedgehogs Vs Ice cream

Hellooo :) 

I know I've not written in over a month and I'm super sorry I've just had lots of mock exams and all that boring stuff but now I'm already to go and i have a scheule so you never know, I might actually post on time someday ;) From now on, Mondays will be general anything I feel like posts so DIY's, Positivity posts and all that jazz and then Thursdays will be Top Ten Pins posts, appart from on the last Thursday of each month which will be a monthly favourites post :) So lets see how long a can stay organised for this time aha :) Anyways, here's this weeks top ten pins , enjoy! :) 

No matter how many times I've asked, my boyfriend still hasn't bought me a hedgehog ! Seriously I think this might be a make or break thing ;) I don't know why I even stand for it aha :) 

I don't even watch this show but this just makes me happy ^.^

Always good to have a lil bit of Roald Dahl in your life :) We should all aim to make someone feel twinkly at least once a day <3 

This pretty much defines me ;) 

What is this ? Have I actually found a pinterest DIY that I might actually be able to make ... Oh my gosh I might faint aha :) These are soooo cute and actually look quite easy :) It's comic relief coming up soon so you could make some and have a bake sale to raise some money :) 

Did anyone see Esio Trot on the BBC on new years eve ? Wasn't it like the cutest thing :) This really reminds me of that <3 

Even if you're having a rough day there's always time for a wish :) There's two 11:11's in a day and a whole lot of dandelions out there so there's always hope , don't give up yet :) 

Isn't it amazing how much of life is in your perception of it ? It's really pretty wonderful don't you think ? :) 

Awwww I might try this for when I leave hopeful notes for waitresses or waiters in cafes :) 

Just in case you need some cheering up between now and Monday :) Also remember it's okay to be sad sometimes and just let yourself be sad for a lil bit, cuddle up on the sofa and watch rubbish Tv until you're ready to get up again :) I did a post on being sad ages ago which you can find here <3 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

I hope you enjoyed this post and you can check back on Monday if you fancy it for a yummy DIY which is excellant for when you're sad, happy, heartbroken, in love, any occasion as long as you're not allergic to chocolate ... if you are then umm I'm sorry for your loss ;) 

For Positive bits and bobs all week long you can follow my blogs pinterest here :)

Origami Hearts ( Valentines Day DIY #1 )

Hello lovely :) 

It's 13 days until valentines day ! Some people don't like valentines day because they feel like it's all depressing when you're not in a relationship but I simply disagree. Partly because of the reasons expressed in Connor Manning's recent video which you can find here . But mostly because their are a lot of extremely nice chocolates around at this time of year and I'm not one to deprive myself a little pressie in the form of Thorntons ;) So for the next four posts I'm going to put up valentines day DIY's :) So In today's post I thought I'd show you how to make an origami heart love letter which  I've found is a really cute substitute for a valentines day card and is a lot cheaper <3

Origami Heart Love Letter <3 

What you need : 

All you you need is an A4 piece of paper and a pen to write your letter.... see what I mean about it being cheaper than a £5 card from Clinton's ;) 

1) Take your A4 sheet and write whatever you want to say to your valentine/friend/loved family pet/anyone who's not having a great day . Now now fold your top right corner across to meet the the edge of the piece of paper and crease along the line with the edge of your nail before unfolding it :) 

2) Repeat step 1 but this time fold from the top left corner :) 

3) Take the two triangles on the left and right side of the paper and pull them together so that they meet each other in the middle .

4) Pinch the bottom of the fold and then press down from the top of the side of the fold and it should form a triangle ( Don't worry if this takes a few attempts I promise that you'll get it in the end ) 

 

5) Take the top layer of each of the sides of the triangle and fold them in to meet to top corner of the triangle <3 

6) Fold both of the sides of the paper into the middle so they meet each other. 

7) Turn the paper over so that the side without folds on is facing you :) 

8) Fold the Bottom of the paper up to meet the line where the triangle shape begins

9) Fold the top layer of the triangle down to form a kind of envelope shape . 

10) Fold the bottom corners into meet the centre line and then tuck them into the slots of the upside down folded triangle shape :) 

 

11)  Fold each of the top corners in to make a triangle and tuck them into the folds across the heart and voila ! All ready to give to whoever you like :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

I hope you enjoyed this post :) Keeping with the valentines day theme, leave your favourite pick up line in the comments ! 

Check back on Thursday for another valentines day DIY that's super yummy :) 

Much Love, Love Muchly

Good Times At All Times :)

Thursday again ! 

I've been thinking about what the days of the week mean to me this week ... that sounds weird and probably doesn't make much sense but let me explain :) I noticed on Monday that I was in a good mood, usually in my head if I think Monday I think; blue, good or fresh start . This Monday I decided that I would think of Mondays as good . Tuesday reminds me of a great blog I read called BeNiceItsTuesday so on Tuesdays I will try and focus extra hard on being nice and aim to leave a hopeful note somewhere or change in a vending machine, just something nice like that :) Wednesdays automatically reminded me of oranges ... mainly because of Odeon orange Wednesday deals aha . But I decided as oranges are lovely and fresh that Wednesdays would be fresh starts ! Thursdays , I struggled with so I've decided that it will be positive Thursday :) Fridays I'm thinking will be Fairy Fridays because I think they'd be a good day to try and see the wonder and magic in everything <3 I haven't decided how I want to think about Saturdays and Sundays yet but I guess I need to channel the majority of my positivity into school days so I will consider them at a later date :) 

I'm not sure if that was understandable or relevant but I thought it might help inject some magical positivity into my outlook on the week :) What do you think about the way we look at the week ? Comment ways you think you could pop a lil bit more happiness or kindness into your week <3 

I know today was meant to be a top ten pins post but I have changed the schedule a lil bit again and this kind of balances it out . So from now on Mondays will be a post about whatever I fancy, DIY's, Books and Positivity ! Thursdays or Fridays will be a Top Ten Weekly Pins post for the first three weeks of every month but the fourth of the month will be a monthly favourites :) I Hope you don't mind the new schedule and that you enjoy the new stuff I've got planned ! There's definitely going to be some valentines DIY's coming up in the next two weeks so be sure to check back for that <3 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

January Favourites 2015

Happy Monday !!!

I haven't done a favourites in a while and I'm not sure this is gong to be monthly again but we'll just see what happens ^.^ But this month I fancied it and felt like I had something to say so I thought I'd show you pretty and wonderful things that I found whilst procrastinating away my weekends throughout the new year because hey ! who needs to leave the house when you have big bang theory ? ;)

Tv Show !

On the subject of The Big Bang Theory .... why was I not made aware of this amazingly, hilarious, perfection that I have fallen in love with, before the beginning of this month when it has been around since 2007 !!?! I literally schedule when big bang theory is on, into my day ... yes it's got that bad ! ;) In case you're interested as to how I balance my social life with my numerous obsessions, I don't :) 

Shop !

This month for the first time ever I bought a box from Carries Book Club which was great and had these super cute Peter Pan nail stickers in . So I looked up the website she'd bought them off and I discovered 'House of Wonderland' and just like that all my Christmas money was gone ! So here's my three favourite items that I found :) 

These Peter Pan and Wendy silhouette earring's make me really happy ! I love themmmmmm :D 

  

Happy Thoughts pencils :D I think these should be essentials in every person pencil case :) 

No . No , No, No ! I can' t deal with this level of cuteness ! Ahhhh I think I'm gonna die ! I need, I need , I need ^.^

Clothes !

I've been looking for a cute jumper just to laze around in whilst watching big bang theory and playing ukulele and all the other things that cool kids like me do ;) So when I found this Harry Potter Jumper reading 'You're Lucky I'm Not Allowed to Use Magic Outside Of Hogwarts' ...you can find it here :) 

Book ! 

For Christmas my boyfriends parents gave me a voucher for waterstones, I was extremely happy ... my best friend who I made sit in waterstones with me while I went through pretty much every single book in there, well she wasn't so happy ;) I bought a book called ' The Art Of Being Normal' By Lisa Williamson, just on the off chance that it looked nice and had a well designed cover :) But I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it ! The story line follows a transgender boy called David and the new boy at school called Leo and follows them both as they try to avoid any form of attention but slowly discover each others secrets and between them go to hell and back, laugh a lot and make you cry a lil bit ! 'The Art of Being Normal ' was really well written and I will definitely read any more books that Lisa Williamson writes in the future :) 

YouTube ! 

Ruby Day is a really talented singer and her original music is well written and very sweet :) Recently she released an album on itunes so if you like her music then I'm sure she'd appreciate any support because she really deserves it :) This is her cover or 'Peter' 

Accessories ! 

I wear a bow now, bows are cool ;) I bought a black bow from new look for £4.00  and haven't stopped wearing it, especially on the top of my pony tail :) 

Food !

Costa have brought out an addorable Banoffee tartlet which I'm am ever so slightly a lot addicted to ! They are soooo good ! They also do a pecan one and a rhubarb and custard one :) 

So that's all for this months favourites but I've found it's been a really good month and I'm looking forward to next month and hopefully some valentines day DIY's :) 

Check back later in the week for the weeks top ten pins ! 

Comment the best things you've discovered this month :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
