Smiley Sundays - #100happydays day 72 -78

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 )

" It does not do to dwell on dreams and
 forget to live " - Albus Dumbledore 
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

Smiley Sundays - #100happydays day 65- 71

Good Morning :)

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 :)

#100happydays : day 70 ( Saturday )

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

I'm Going To Ireland !!! :D

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

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.”
