Otters and Appliqué :)

Hello :) 

This weeks been a little hectic but there's always time to scroll through pinterest even when there's not time to do any maths homework .. not sure how but I guess you just have to prioritize in life right ? ;) So here's this weeks top ten pins :) 

Is the fact I just think this sounds super pretty not a good enough thing to say ? ... nah ;) 

I am definitely going to try making these this summer :) Seems pretty simple to make, just appliqué floral lace onto a hole that's cut out of some grey leggings and it would look super cute with a light floaty top in summer ^.^ 

Keep learning :)

I'm really enjoying the penguin gifs right now ^.^ They're too adorable :) 

All so true :) I especially think we'd all be happier if we focused on number 2 !

Ahhhh so many feellsssss ;) 

I.... am also a unicorn :p 

Important message .. but I'm slightly more distracted by the awesome orange carving skills , I feel I should be concerned by how much this amuses me ;) 

I can't believe this is sooo simple and sooo pretty at the same time ! Oh my gosh ... It's January and I'm now collecting Ideas for DIY Christmas pressies haha :) 

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! 

I feel this quite concerningly , clarifies that in a previous life I was in fact an otter ... I'd love to be an otter :) To make it clear, I don't carry around a favourite rock but It is the sort of ridiculous thing that I know I'd do if it was socially acceptable ^.^

What's your favourite animal ? Please tell me that there's someone out there whos favourite is as obscure as mine .... anyone? ... please? ;) 

Annnddd, On that note , I should probably go aha :) You can get positive pins and ottery otters all week long on my pinterest which you can follow here :) Check back Monday for my January Favourites post , I'd stoped doing favourites posts but this months I found some really cute things that I just HAD to share with you lot ^.^ So I'll see you then :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

Have a lovely weekend !

Much love, Love Muchly

Hopeful Warriors

Hello :) 

I've not posted in nearly two weeks, I'm sorry . I had a lot of school work to do so although it's looking like at the minute there's going to be less posts I'm going to do my best to post at least once a week because I love writing and definitely don't want to give it up :) 

Sooo anyways :) I hope you're doing good and still strong and smiling <3 :) I've taken to drawing little characters which I call 'Hopeful Warriors' and sticking them all over all over my walls with hopeful notes that I have already written so that I can grab one when I leave my room .. That way I'll always have at least one so at least one strangers day has a smile in it  :) 

I know this is very short but I really want to finish something I've been working on for a long time so that it's ready to post Friday :) So I will talk to you then but before I go I just want you to know that there's 7500 varieties of apples ! I just thought you should know ... you never know , that information could save your life someday ... maybe aha :) 

"keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable "
- Mary Oliver 

Anyway I better be off and start digging my way out of the pile of flash cards and mind maps of which I am currently buried under.. woo revision -_- Oh well :) On the bright side everything's colour coded :) 
  
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

lots of love,

#100happydays: day 14 ( I have a Pygmy Puff)

Heyyy :) 

Today I went to the Harry Potter studio tour in London and it my AMAZING :) I had such a great time and I highly recommend going if you ever get them chance because seeing all the sets and props is simply magical ... an well the gift shop is literally a potter head's haven  :)

As a result of my trip to the gift shop ... my hour long, really could have happily stayed there longer just in the gift shop ;) I bought a purple pygmy puff. 

Everyone ; meet Alaska ( If anyone is wondering then yes she is named after Alaska out of John Green's fantastic book Looking for Alaska) 

 Isn't she just the cutest little thing :) I saw her and the pink ones on the shelf and fell in love with all of them however I could only have one :( I choose a purple one for two reasons :

1) In the book Ginny's Pygmy Puff Arnold is purple ( They change it to pink in the film ) 

2) Carrie Hope Fletcher has a purple one :) I'm aware this is a pathetic reason however it is still a reason and by now you should probably of realised that my love for Carrie is Uncontrollable ;) 

So today's #100happydays photo is my new Pygmy Puff to represent the great day out I just had ... and my love for colourful fluffy things ;) I also decided today that I am for the Hufflepuff house and am proud :) I'd love to hear what house your in and why so feel free to comment your house and your favourite of the films/books because I'm interested :) My favourite of the films is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire I think it's got a good story line as can be said for all of them aha and it's not got scary yet ( which is kind of an essential for me ;) ) 

I also found some awesome Harry potter merchandise on Etsy I might do an Etsy haul at some point because pretty handmade things make me happy .. let me know if that's something you'd like to see :) I loved the Time turner necklace which you can get versions of ridiculously cheap on Etsy and I really liked the Golden snitch necklace. I don't have many necklaces but I really like them so I'm definitely going to start buying more of them :) 

If your interested in positive quotes , fitness and pretty little things ( I've basically just re-worded the blog title there ) So if you're here because you like the stuff I'm talking about then if you wanted to have a look at my pinterest then I spend lots of time procrastinating on there and finding cute merchandise I like mainly off Etsy and work outs and stuff ... damn these descriptions are getting worse and worse ;)

But if that would interest you you can find me here :
Little Hopeful

Over the Summer I'm going to try and read all of the Harry Potter series because I'm really interested and feel like I should considering my obsession with it ... I know, I know; it's really bad that I haven't already read them but I'm going to sort that asap :) It's just there's so many books I want to read .. there's probably enough time to do so only I want to read them all ... right now . 

I know this is a little different to my normal style, I  don't usually just talk about my day but I hope you enjoyed it all the same  :) I thought for today a Harry Potter quote would be fitting :) I rather like this one on yesterdays subject of laughter making you feel better ... Oh Luna your so right :)

That's all for now 
Remember to stay Strong <3 stay smiley :) 
I hope your doing well 
Much love, love much-ly

#100happydays: day 13

Happy Friday 13th :)

13 is Taylor Swift's lucky number ... This isn't what I'm mean to be talking bout haha  :)

Today I had my last exam of the year woooo :D Now I can spend time procrastinating for hours without worrying about failing everything ;) Considering I just had a maths exam you'd think my head would be full of stuff about maths when actually I'm just dying to tell you this fact :

A Fear of tree's is called dendrophobia... I looked it up whilst re-watching the 3rd Lord of the Rings I'm not entirely sure what made it relevant ;) I just thought I'd let you know :)

It's pretty late now and I'm very excited because tomorrow I'm going to the Harry Potter studio's with my boyfriend an his family ... being me i am very very happy about this :) I love car journeys because I can just fit there and read in peace and quiet for hours. I'm hoping to either read One Million Lovely Letters by Jodi Ann Bickley or re-read The Fault in our Stars by John Green before the film comes out next week ... That's another thing i can't wait for :)

Today's #100happydays is a a picture of the field 
as  shown in the above picture which I found covered in daisy's ... daisy chains make me extremely happy :) They're nice to look at, fun to make and i don't know they are simply pretty little things that make me smile  ... do they really need reasons to make me happy because if you always need a reason to be happy then it's quite likely you will have a few more moments when your not happy and why on earth would you want to waste moments when they're so precious :) Anyway's we sat on this field ( hence my friends feet being in the picture), made daisy chains, laughed with each other as we painted our nails and ate a picnic of strawberry laces :) I love picnics I might do a blog of my ideal picnic and try to make it happen as a surprise for my friends I think that would be a nice random act of kindness and we all know how I feel about those ;) My favourite moments are the one's where I laugh. Me and my boyfriend spent a large part of our evening watching YouTube video's and laughing uncontrollably at Danisnotonfire and Sprinkleofglitter whom's videos together left us struggling to breath in the most perfect way... because we were laughing to much with smiles that would remain imprinted on our faces for hours :) If you need a good laugh check out their Prank calls video I guarantee it will cheer you up no matter how you feel :) That's another idea I'd like to do for a blog; what to do when your sad with not just things to cheer you up but things to help sort out why you were sad :) Lets see if we can fix a few broken smiles eh :)

“Laughter is wine for the soul - laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness - the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living.” 
― Seán O'Casey

So please enjoy tomorrow as a new day and a new start and fill it with as much laughter as possible :) Try to find the good in the day because I know it's there .
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 
I hope you have a truly wonderful day 
Much love, Love much-ly

#100happydays: day 11

 

Helloooo :)

 

Interesting fact ... well not that interesting if I'm being honest with you but its really cute :

Baby hedgehogs are called hoglets :D

 

I feel better now I've told someone that :) Now , on with the post . Today's #100happydays changed about ten minutes ago when I got a text from my friends saying "have a look in your bag" so I did ... I found an origami hearts just like the ones I frequently make with letters in an put in people's bags ... she'd done the same for me :) I don't mean just a note though, I mean a full on letter and it was beautiful and it meant so much to me :)

 

 

Hopeful notes are something I'm extremely passionate about as you would probably of guessed from the amount I talk/ waffle about them ;)
However when you know someone personally and you know they really aren't feeling great well perhaps you know them well enough to write them a  whole letter :) Letters aren't as commonly written nowadays with the ever increasing use of social media and mobile phones ( don't get me wrong I use them a lot and I think they're fabulous inventions) However I do love a good letter :) I think they're wonderful to receive and great to write ... I like to write mine with each paragraph in a different coloured pen , just to brighten it up ;) In addition too my love for letters and coloured pens I love stationary and projects ... you know those people who get annoying enthusiastic about a new project they've taken on. So they just dance around as the positivity of a new passion rains down on them , the good sort of rain where you can already see the rainbow before it stops because the sun's shining so bright ... yeah I'm one of them :) I've been to WHSmith's because you can't start a project without new stationary that's the rule right ? That better be the rule ... If it's not I've well umm consider it officially changed so that is the rule because seriously any chance for new stationary especially notebooks is like someone handing me a ticket to heaven .. I did warn you I was one of those ;) So firstly I'm going to try and write a letter to a friend once a week. Just one that looks like they need ; as Jodi Ann Bickley calls it " a hug in a envelope" .Secondly there is a fantastic website called PostPals that allows you to write to seriously ill children which you can find here : http://www.postpals.co.uk/
Imagine how much a surprise letter could brighten the day of an ill child or a sibling. It takes like ten minutes to write a letter. I'm always saying how we don't know how many minutes we have left but for a lot of these children they're pretty sure they have less minutes than us and I think it would be awesome if we could put a smile on their faces for some of those minutes :)

So let's try brighten some days :)
"To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart." 
-Phyllis Theroux
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
I hope you have a lovely day and write letters enjoying some wonderful stationary ;)
Much love, Love much-ly
