Back to School :)
Heyyy :)
So September is here and a lot of young people are heading back to school and the work load looks awful, the drama, stress and teachers that hate you for no reason but do you know what makes it okay ? STATIONARY :D Going into the new academic year I have kitted myself out with all the stationary I could ever need and am really happy with it :) and you know what ? I think that makes it just about bearable :) Even if I probably will have nothing but a pen that I borrowed off a friend and half a packet of gum to my name within a week ;) I am actually looking forward to the new year . Fresh starts, a chance to work hard, focus and do well because I believe if you go to school with a negative attitude grumbling about wishing you were still in bed, how much you hate school and how much you are bored in every single lesson and just want to curl up into a little ball and sleep behind the stage when your head teacher is attempting to motivate the school in the first assembly of the year whilst looking like he wished he was in a private jet getting away from here as quick as possible ..and trust me we all feel this way. But you are not going to do well if you refuse to make the best of the situation . So buckle down and do your best with a smile on your face and a highlighter in your hand :) If you get to school and end up with 50 million pieces of homework due in on Thursday with no exceptions .. well you might as well make a list ... no ! A colour coded list :D Already things feel better because you're adding colour and making it accessible and when you plan out your work because you're going to have to do it in the end, so you might as well do it now. you will feel so much better about it knowing what you are doing . How about you make yourself a little work space and buy folders for each subject, look up for cool ways to decorate them on YouTube and make a decision to work your very hardest this year :) Because I don't care if your top in the class or bottom, there is no reason why you can't prove everyone wrong and do AMAZING because that's what you are, amazing and I reckon that this could be your year to show that to the world <3

#100happydays: day 20 ( You're beautiful )
hellooo :)
I am aware you might be shaking your head at the screen thinking ' no, I've heard it before I'm still not beautiful everyone always says that they have to because society says they should to make me feel better about how I look ' I am not society . I refuse to be part of this group of "people" moulding the universe into a seemingly flawless, perfect shape that suits them . No. Just no . I know I like to be positive and not too serious but this is important to me and I feel like people need to understand what I'm going to say , I promise I'm aiming for a positive outcome but I'm going the long way round as to not miss anyone out because everyone's important to someone and as it happens you're all very important to me <3 So I really want you to feel happy :)
Okay right, I think I'm done with the angry mini rant about a society that I'm ashamed to live in . Despite this one society I'm proud to be a part of is the Hopefuls community , If you ever need support or just a friendly chat then please visit The Hopeful Forum because everyone is so supportive . Anyway's I'm off topic already aha and I've not even got on to anything that I wanted to say :) So I wanted to offer you my views on beauty in fact no , I want to offer you my views on the ways I think might just maybe make you see that you don't need to feel in anyway bad about yourself , So here we go :
I would firstly like to point out that every individual see's the world differently. We all see beauty in different things for example ; I saw little beauty in the spider I found scurrying hurriedly across my bedroom ceiling as I woke up this morning however I know many people are entranced by the intricate details that create something as amazing as a living creature :) Beauty is a perception. If I tell you that you are beautiful its my perception so it can't wrong . Therefore you can make your own decision and your own interpretation as to what your perception of beauty is . Try standing in front of a mirror and looking directly at yourself. Point out all the things you like about yourself ( even if its as small as the colour of your eyes or that your hair is quite a nice colour just something, anything . Now look at everything else and bit by bit look at yourself and think that isn't that bad , this is actually pretty damn beautiful in its own way and then look at yourself and smile and say out loud " actually I am beautiful, it's okay to acknowledge this because it's true and there is no reason I shouldn't believe it's true and anyone how says anything other than that about my body, simply has a different perception of beauty " and smile , go on smile . I mean it whether you force it or you mean it from your new realisation just smile and everyone else will recognise that you are okay with yourself ( as you should be ) and that it's okay for them to feel okay about themselves too <3
I hope all is well with you :) Tonight I wanted to talk about beauty and self confidence . Firstly I would just like to say ; I am not what would be considered a particularly attractive girl and my self confidence has a tendency to run lower than low on a regular basis. So I'm not saying that I am completely 100% filled with reassurance that I am " beautiful" and I have never felt particularly okay with myself until recently so I know what it's like to not like what you see in the mirror, feel like everyone's judging your appearance and to feel like you dislike every part of yourself and I'd like to wish on a dandelion ( dandelion wishes are amazing never underestimate their power ) that you don't but in reality I expect a lot of you reading this are teenagers and are under the ever growing pressure of society to look like you have been taught to believe people will love . However I have learnt some lessons that are extremely important and I think other girl should learn them because it is so so sooo Important to be happy, confident and comfortable within yourself because you are amazing, you just need to learn that <3
I am aware you might be shaking your head at the screen thinking ' no, I've heard it before I'm still not beautiful everyone always says that they have to because society says they should to make me feel better about how I look ' I am not society . I refuse to be part of this group of "people" moulding the universe into a seemingly flawless, perfect shape that suits them . No. Just no .

You are beautiful. If you are trying your best to be the best version of yourself and as nice as you can be without compromising your essential happiness I can tell you that makes you a beautiful person on the inside . But that's not enough is it ? You are constantly told that without outer " beauty" you will not attract a suitable partner to admire your inner beauty and we couldn't risk that could we ? because what more would a young adult need but someone to first recognise their beauty whom would then commit to complimenting it everyday ? Nothing apparently . This is ridiculous . Outer beauty is not important . However your self confidence is important because it allows you to be yourself , be comfortable as yourself and over all be happier as yourself .
So I offer you this ; The Oxford Dictionary definition of beauty :
Definition of beauty in English:
beauty
Line breaks: beauty
Pronunciation: /ˈbjuːti
/
I would firstly like to point out that every individual see's the world differently. We all see beauty in different things for example ; I saw little beauty in the spider I found scurrying hurriedly across my bedroom ceiling as I woke up this morning however I know many people are entranced by the intricate details that create something as amazing as a living creature :) Beauty is a perception.

I mean it whether you force it or you mean it from your new realisation just smile and everyone else will recognise that you are okay with yourself ( as you should be ) and that it's okay for them to feel okay about themselves too <3
My #100happydays today is hopefully you feeling better about yourself. You feeling beautiful , not by society's standards, not by my standards but by yours <3 because if you feel beautiful from by your standards that confidence will shine through and everyone will see it in your smile :) after all smiling's good ;) My #100happydays picture today has kind of been pictures of quotes that I have spread throughout this blog post however this is my main one :
Finally , just in case you haven't had enough quotes yet then today's quotes is a Marilyn
Monroe one because this woman talks a lot of sense sometimes :)
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
― Marilyn Monroe
I hope this wasn't too pushy , I know it's different from my normal style however I really wanted to get this message across <3 I'm sorry if it was badly worded I tried my best and I spent 3 hours and a half trying to put these thoughts and feelings into words that might vaguely resemble them but I hope in some way they helped you out , I really do :)
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
I hope you have a great day ahead of you ,
Much Love , Love much-ly

#100happydays: day 18 ( Fresh Veg and Fresh Starts )
Good Evening :)
I hope your all okay :) I'm not going to lie I haven't had a great day. In fact it was a rather stressful, borderline tears , I'm sick of all this kinda day . Everyone has them , we've all been stressed out and found our selves with too much work to do with not enough time to do it ... and watch YouTube ;) It is important when you have a lot of work to try and make sure you really do still have time for you . Even if your making time to see your friends, finish coursework and pursue all five million hobbies ... you still need down time for you and just you because you are important . I promise you that :) So in order to avoid days like mine because I'm ever so slightly, extremely unorganised ; I recommend you make a list ... no, actually I recommend you make a colour coded list because that's more cheerful and colourful :) If you write out each day of the week and underneath each one put in a different colour , when your seeing your friends, when you have exams or work due in , when your doing your out of school things like cadets and youth groups and then in big capital letters write in " ME TIME" because important things have capital letters , that's why you have them in your name :) If you can't find time for " me time" then drop something because seriously it's so important . You might not see it now but it will build up and your going to get upset and stressed out and well like I did today and I really don't want that for you <3 Sadness can't always be prevented but sometimes.. a lot of the time it can and I sure intend to try because being sad is no fun which means no laughter and where would we be without laughter aha :) So if your feeling like everything's getting too much; try making a brightly coloured list because :
1) Having a plan no matter what the situation or what for always makes me feel better because I know what I'm doing so there's no need to worry about what's going to happen and how to handle it .
2) All the bright colours in that place will make you feel happy .. well they make me happy , maybe I'm just weird . What am I talking about ? I take that back actually. I am definitely weird and I am proud to be so ;)
Additionally I decided that I had two options when I came home rather distressed from spending the day buried in what appeared to resemble a unclimbable mountains worth of in completed course work
I could either mope around, eat lots of chocolate and song write for a few hours and then cry . Or :) I could put on nice clothes, do my make up, pick myself up and go to my singing lesson like I was meant to and then come home and exercise until I'd released enough natural endorphins to make me feel less like a hopeless mess and more like a young woman who's got the power to take control of how she feels and choose how to cope with the situation . We can all do this I know that it's hard but we all have the power to say , Okay I know today wasn't great in fact it was awful but I don't like feeling like this so why should I ? From there you can get up and turn your day around and at least make it so there was something positive :) It's because of this logic I chose to go with the second choice in reaction to a not so good day . I went and had what was actually a great singing lesson and started to learn a new song ( The Wizard and I from wicked if your interested) This instantly picked up my mood because singing is my passion ( despite how much I love playing drums as I mention in a post the other day Your Life, Your Passions ) I then came home, finished writing a song that I started a while ago and then I decided I fancied a fresh start :) Whenever I have a really bad day I always like to have a fresh start to kick me ( in the nicest possible way ) back into my positivity bubble ;)
As a result I turned to one of my best friends .. The stepper ;) which is my #100happydays picture today :) This Is probably my favourite method of indoor exercise at home because It doesn't take to much effort to the point where it hurts but after an hour on this I tend to feel a fair bit better and more enthusiastic :) As I previously mentioned I have lost a stone and a half over the last year because I had very low confidence and it was something I wanted to do for me . I am now making the push for a final half stone... I have been making this push since Christmas and it's really not working . Why? because I'm not trying I'm at the stage where I just want the weight to go away but believe me that's not how it works ;) If you want to lose weight or become more toned firstly I just want to say , do it for you . Don't let anyone make you feel rubbish about yourself and then go on some starvation diet that doesn't work and will make you feel rubbish about yourself . I will tell you now starving yourself does not lose weight . Your body will panic because it won't know when your next meal is coming therefore causing it to store fat and If for some reason it does work , It wont last . The weight will come back on . Don't even try it. Please be sensible, as long as you're happy and healthy then nothing else matters to be honest :) Carrie Hope Fletcher did a great video on this that I will link to here . I lost weight over a year , it was slow but it's still gone because I did it for me and I was sensible :) Now I want to work on my strength and tone up a lil bit because I genuinely have the upper body strength of a squirrel ... a baby squirrel . But I'm doing it for me . So Today's going to be a fresh start I know snacking is my worst enemy because I'm guilty of eating when I'm not hungry, a lot haha :) It is difficult to judge when your full but you can learn to do it . Lots of the time I eat for the sake of it , mainly because I'm bored so now I've decided to keep things like cut up peppers and cherry tomatoes in the fridge ready so that if I really insist on mindless eating then I can mindlessly eat fresh veg that's low in calories and doing me some good :)
So I'm going to try and build in exercising on the stepper at least one or two times a week , maybe once a week on the running machine and I really want to start swimming again when I can find time for that :) I will let you know If I find any workout routines that I think are good and let me know if you have any suggestions . I'm currently looking at song workouts which sounds quite nice to do so I will keep you updated on that :)
So What I'm saying is if you are feeling down . It's hard but I know you can chose to make you feel better :) As we learn from Captain Jack Sparrow
"The problem is not the problem , The problem is your attitude about the problem "
This is kinda a harsh way to put it but it's true :) So please Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
I know you can do this , I know I've already given a quote today but I'm now in a good mood so you can have two just for today ;)
" It's just a bad day, not a bad life "
I hope your feeling better if you weren't feeling good
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 :)
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 12
Good Evening All :)
I hope you are well and filled with positivity and smiles ... if your not check out my #100happydays: day 4 blog post, I left one of my spare smiles for you there so feel free to use it any time :) Erghh I just did self promotion within my own blog ... that wasn't intended honestly you don't have to read it or anything haha I mean if you do that's great and very lovely of you but feel free to just take the free smile and ex the page ... why not ? free stuffs cool everyone likes free stuff ;)
Right now I should probably say something interesting or at least valid ...I'll try my best but as you know; I spend a lot of time living amongst my own thoughts of which are a conveyor belt of Carrie Hope Fletcher and Llamas ( My friend has a llama army of 5003 llamas's in her head .. the last 3 are paramedics :) ) What am I even meant to be talking about ... oh yeah #100happydays umm can't we just talk about ice cream . I really like ice cream especially Ben and Jerry's. People tell me that I can't eat a whole tub to myself because it's like a billion calories ... but let me tell you It's so worth every single one of those calories :) Anyway's I can burn it off with a the diet starts tomorrow workouts as I call them ;) My favourite Ben and Jerry's is probably the Half baked one because its got all those amazing mouth-watering cookie dough bits but this time it's in chocolate ice cream so the whole things one big taste sensation ! The brownie bit's are just a fantastic bonus ;)
Just to give you an insight into how quickly my mind wonders ... This post was meant to be about being healthy and stuff but oh well maybe I'll do it another day because I really do want to do some posts about fitness ect. if you'd be interested but I want to make it clear that happiness is most important . Do what makes you happy because I care about you honestly , i pinkie promise that i care about you and love you so and you're happiness means a lot to me <3 The reason I'm into fitness is that a while ago I was very uncomfortable with myself and I wasn't happy because I was self-concious and to be honest just very negative ... That's not a way to live because there is no need to live like that . Positivity is an attitude choice and you can make that choice , I guarantee you will feel better for it :) Fitness is simply a way of helping to boost your positivity because it realises endorphins which put you on a natural high ... warning when I'm being even slightly technical I think and hope it's right but it's me sooo it could be wrong ;) There are lots of ways to boost positivity , maybe I will do I blog with a list ( woooo lists ) of my happy boosters or something like that :)
Furthermore if nothing else.. I agree with Herm Albright :
If anyone's confused; my #100happydays was the treat of a Ben and Jerry's ice cream .. I actually didn't eat any tonight but we bought it in for tomorrow night so I could eat it while watching a movie so it's more the plans it symbolises that makes me happy ... Okay please excuse me, I realise how utterly ridiculous I am when I'm tired I'm very sorry for talking about symbolic ice cream haha ;)
On That note I think it might be time for me to go to bed,
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
I hope your feeling a little more positive .. If nothing else you got a free smile I guess ;)
Much love, Love much-ly

#100happydays: day 9
Hey
Today #100happydays is a little unusual... Today was meant to be a fresh start ( I'm a big fan of fresh starts, I do them regularly aha ) You know your typical fresh starts , the ones where you are going to lose weight, be healthy, stop swearing and basically decide to become a perfect example of a human being .... yhhhh well that didn't happen ;) Firstly I'd just like to say you cannot become a "perfect human being" you, yes you right there reading this , you are a perfect human being you may think your messing up or not feel exactly fantastic at times but i promise you that you are ... pinkie .
As for the losing weight being healthy thing well.... this says enough ;)
P.s. Sorry this was late , I wrote it yesterday and accidentally only published it as a draft ( only I could see it) but I didn't realise until i went to write today's :) Silly me aha you'll have to bear with me I'm not very good with technical stuff if you haven't noticed ;)
As for the losing weight being healthy thing well.... this says enough ;)
So why ? I hear you ask, would this be you #100happydays ? Well I'll tell you my friend :) It's okay to mess up and I know I can try again tomorrow because every day can be a new day, in fact every hour, minute, even second can be a fresh start. There's no need to wait for a Monday , a new month or a year ... This life is yours and you have no guarantee that you will have next Monday to be the the best version of your self. Life doesn't owe you a certain amount of days . Unfortunately you get what your given and nobody know quite how long that is . So change the world today because I know you can do it :) I believe in you , now go out there and show everyone exactly why they should too :)

So honey , " your mistakes do not define you" its going to be okay just Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
Bye for now
