Easy Gifts For Difficult People DIY #1 ( Hot Chocolate !! )

#It'sSnowingInMyBubble 

I Know this post should;ve been up yesterday which was the 5th, but I have a good excuse I promise ! :) I went to see War of The Worlds at the LG arena ... and Carrie Hope Fletcher was in it and oh my gosh, it was so so wonderful :D But it was one am when I got home so I imagine anything I wrote in that sleepy a state probably could of had me put me into an insanity asylum ! ;) But I will talk more about War of the Worlds, in Sundays post :) 

So today I wanted to talk to you about the start of a new mini series I'm going to do over my Blogmas 'It'sSnowingInMyBubble' Month called " Easy Gifts for Difficult People " . Now, we all know those people who we really want to get a cool, cute gift that they will like, enjoy and actually use ... but they're impossible to buy for and they're usually male so you can't buy them jewellery or you just have no clue what they'd want. In this series I'm going to show you some easy gifts to make or buy that would be adored by anyone and even if you don't know one of these unintentionally awkward people then perhaps make a few bits and bobs up, ready, just in case someone unexpected gives you a gift :) Today I made a hot chocolate in a Jar kit ... with a cute twist ;) 

Hot Chocolate Kit 



What You'll Need : 

  • Marshmallows !! :D ( 99p in the 99p store ) 
  • Hot Chocolate Powder ( I used Cadburys and despite the misleading £1.99 label, It was actually only 99p in the 99p Store)
  • Edible Food Ink Pens ( I bought mine for £3.00 each In hobby craft, in shades Dusty Pink and Jet Black ) 
  • Mason Jars ( 3 for £3.50 in Asda ) 


Firstly, Tip your hot chocolate powder into you mason jar so that it's filled about half way up :) I recommend using a spoon to avoid tipping more of your hot chocolate powder onto your table and bedroom floor than into the jar ... not that I did that .... ;) 

 
Now, pop your Mason Jars to one side and take your Marshmallows and Edible Food Pens and with you black one, draw two little eyes on one of the circle sides of your marshmallow ( I drew mine like little arrows ) 



Next add a little mouth , still in the black :) 


And obviously rosy cheeks are a necessity for the cuteness of any marshmallow ....


Cuteness overload yet ? 


So all we have to do now is follow the same steps for the rest of the marshmallows :) Here's some different Ideas for the faces ;


It's a marshmallow family !! Just like in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Two :) 



Finally, just arrange your marshmallows in your mason Jar and VIOLA ! A sweet gift for anyone :) Perhaps add a ribbon and tie it into a bow, PERFECT ! :) 

I hope you liked this DIY , Let me know in the comments if you have made it, or have any other ideas for this mini series :) If you have a blog at all and have done any recent christmassy DIY posts then comment the links because I would love to have a look ! :) 

Today's Merry Christmas was in Japanese , and although only 1 percent of Japanese people believe in Christ they often still celebrate Christmas and in my opinion in a far more beautiful, valuable and hopeful way :) Among the Christian Japanese Christmas is not a day for the family. They do not have turkey or plum pudding, rather than that the day is spent doing nice things for others especially those who are sick in hospitals <3 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

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, 
DontBurstMyBubbleXx

P.s. I know I ussually write a monthly favourites post but this month there won't be one mainly because I don't have time but I also don't feel like i'd enjoy writing it because I haven't got much to say on it this month and I think it's best when writing makes both of us happy :) Have a nice day <3

I'm feeling emotional :')

Hello there :) 

This isn't what I'm mean to be doing ... I should be asleep because I've just got back from a lovely holiday in Ireland and I'm exhausted but If I am going to write a blog post I should definitely be catching up on the " Smiley Sunday " posts that I have missed whilst being away ( I've got two to write :/ ) However, I have just come over very very emotional ... I'm crying . I'm not sad though, or upset just emotional :') So why ? Why am I sat in my room crying slightly confused if not slightly happy .. ? Well the answer is that I don't know but as I'm feeling emotional, there are a lot of thoughts in my head , thoughts I want people to hear because they matter to me .. and I feel like they need hearing ( wow I'm REALLY tired aha ... I mean just look at that excellent wording ;) ) 

Firstly I thought I'd explain how I ended up feeling this randomly emotional ... okay well, as I've said I came back from a holiday in Ireland a few hours ago and whilst in Ireland I missed people an awful lot, esspecially my friends and boyfriend because I like being surrounded by people who understand all the aspects of my life, know how I'm feeling and how to make me feel better and good about myself .. that's what friendship is and I often refer to my friends as my un-biological family because they are everything to me .. I mean my best friend practically lives with me half the time aha :) I wouldn't change any of them for the world <3 So I had a build up of love for my friends whilst I was gone from realising how much I loved and respected them :) Love is a very strong emotion and I feel it an awful lot and often get it mixed up with compassion that I feel for strangers and this is definitely not going where I planned ... I'm sorry I think this is just going to be a vent tonight but If you understand or take anything from it then let me know but I'm very tired so sorry about this aha :) Anyways, I love strangers or I'm filled with compassion for them , this is something I find difficult to distinguish between because the compassion I feel for strangers is so strong . In my head I see a person, a human life that is precious and amazing walking down the street. I don't know this person but that's the beauty of it because I want them to know the things in my head because I don't know what that stranger is going through , I don't know if they are the happiest person on earth ( in which case I want to join them and show them that they are right to be happy and almost congratulate them on their wonderful perception of the world ) or they might be suicidal ( In which case I want to help them, show them some kindness just to let them know that the world does have some good in ) . Regardless of the persons situation, they do not know my and likely never will , the only judgement they could have on me is by looking at me and I can't do much with that rather than where a top that says " hi, I love you and I hope you're having a wonderful day but If not I hope it gets better " and as a top like that would be quite difficult to come by .. I decided to smile at every stranger I make eye contact with to let them know that I'm happy and want them to be happy, so there is still something good in the world <3 It's also because of this that I write hopeful notes to strangers to say the things I would say to them if it was socially acceptable to go up to them in the street , I want the world to be a better, happy place and I want people to know that it isn't that bad no matter what they're going through, It is definitely worth living in :) 


This really isn't what I was going to talk about but I guess the reason I'm suddenly feeling even more attached to strangers is that in Ireland something AMAZING happened ! When I smiled at people... THEY SMILED BACK :D It actually makes my day every time someone smiles back because people smiling just makes the world a nicer place because every time you smile you actually feel better because it realises " Feel good" endorphins so now because of one simple action I made towards a person walking down the street, the worlds a very slightly happier place ... okay I do realise I sound made but I just feel so ... I don't know really . To be honest I wan't crying until I watched my idol,  Carrie Hope Fletchers, most recent video ( I'll link to it here <3 ) I don't know what it was about the video but she was talking about people thanking her . As a result I realised how much Carrie has effected my life. Since I started watching  "Itswaypastmybedtime"  I've become more positive, learnt to see the world in a different way, started to try and show others this way of seeing and started leaving hopeful notes because Carrie's hopeful notes inspired me to start being confident enough to show kindness to strangers and my life would still be stuck in sadness and thoughts that I would just grow up and work in a job that could pay the bills but now I believe in myself and that's not arrogant . Self belief is important and I'm going to have to write a whole post about that but Carrie pressed that button and I am so grateful to her <3 

I Have no idea what I have just written .. I'm sorry if my rambling was pointless , I'm aware the grammar was awful and the  punctuation that is pretty much non existent but I'm so tired <3 Please let me know if you understood any of that .. I'm sorry If I just wasted your time , we'll be back to normal soon :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

I hope you're having a good holiday / life because you deserve one and I like you :) 

Much love, Love Much-ly

P.s. Today's quote is : " Keep Smiling and Stuff" - Dan Howell ( Danisnotonfire ) because it sounds as vauge, confused and relevant as I feel :) That sentence didn't even make sense aha ... I'm going to go to bed <3

#100happydays: day 38 ( Friendship Families )

Good Afternoon :) 

I will admit that Kevin the Llama and Dave the Unicorn and exactly
quite part of the friendship group physically but they're with us mentally

 and that good enough for us because we couldn't find a real llama and 
a unicorn that we we're aloud to keep at 15 :(  but girls are allowed
 to dream .. right ? ;) 
Today I struggled to find something good for my #100happydays and I thought and thought but I just couldn't find anything that I could say ... and then I looked at a picture that my friend drew of our whole friendship group but as a family whilst I was finishing off the drawing of me and my boyfriend <3 It really made me smile because I realised that I had been looking for something new to make my day better but now I can see I had my friends who were so important to me <3 They always make me smile whether we're laughing with each other or at each other we always know were only joking and I love having people who I can go to and they will make me happy no matter what and I really do love them for it :) I also love them for being them because they're all awesome ... I mean they're idiots ( like me ) but they're the best idiots I could ever wish to be friends with :) I just want to say that if you're friends don't love you exactly the way you are then please try and find some that do because you will be so much happier and I truly want you to be happy <3 You're worth feeling loved and true friends will make you feel loved . I know they can be really difficult to find especially if you nervous about meeting new people but I find if you just take a deep breath and go for it they'll never know you were scared :) If you want to read my tips on meeting new people you can find them here :)   I seriously recommend joining a youth group or something because even tho it was absolutely terrifying going the first time it built my confidence massively in the end and now I talk to people and make friends a lot easier even if I still get nervous :) It's okay to be nervous tho, it just means that you care about what you're doing <3 Carrie Hope Fletcher recently ( okay not that recently but still not that long ago ;) ) did a video called "Easier Said Than Done" which is all about how that phrase holds you back ... this is very true and in the video Carrie talks about replacing that saying with " Nothing worth doing is ever going to be easy " She goes into a lot more detail than me and explains it really well because well Carrie's just generally amazing like that and as usual she is so so right <3 So please check out her video on that because it really make you think :)

I found this quote about friendship and just thought it was nice so today's quote of the day is : 

“Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” 
― Albert Camus


Sooo I'm not entirely sure what that was about ... It was just lots of feelings on true friends I guess and how grateful I am for mine :) If you have true friends do something to show them that you love them because well it's just nice and it'l make you both feel good :) I like to take my friends cookies every once in a while because we all like cookies ... and it means I get an excuse to eat cookies too so it's win win aha <3 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley
Just wanted to remind you quickly before I go that you're awesome :) 
Much Love, Love Much-ly

#100happydays : day 29 ( Festival Fun 3)

Festival Fun day 2 

Today was the final day at the festival ( you can find my previous two blogs about the festival here for day 1 :)  and here for day 2 <3 ) As we all know the final day of camping always means the dreaded putting the sleeping bag back into it's little bag ... needless to say this didn't go very well for me aha God knows how it even got in there originally ;)

I went to the little shop on the site before we left to get some Haribo Rainbow Twists because they're AMAZING ! I love the Haribo vegetarian range it's the only thing where I actually prefer the vegetarian version to the normal one because I don't actually like normal Haribo's at all :) Anyway as I went to the counter the man serving me out out politeness and because it's just what you say I guess: 
" hello, how are you ? " 
And when I replied with " I'm good thank you , how are you ? " He looked so shocked it was un-believably and he literally stuttered half of " Umm I'm good .. thanks for asking " I then saw him smile and that made me so so happy and once I'd ordered my rainbow twists as I thanked him and was walking away he shouted " Have a nice day!" after me and I only just about managed to say " You Too " through my uncontrollable :) This seems small and insignificant but it made my day because it made him smile by something as small as an unexpected return of caring .. I've decided from now on I'm always going to ask shop workers how they are because everyone's important and everyone deserves someone to care :) 

I Also had my first ever pinkie promise with another hopeful when the lovely girl I met left the camp to go home and that made me so happy to meet other people who want to spread positivity :) 

I know this quote is really simple but I love it because of how much truth it holds:
“Peace begins with a smile..” 
― Mother Teresa

p.s. sorry this was shorter ; its just this is the third blog I've written today and I've still got one to go aha :) 




#100happydays: day 28 ( Festival Fun 2 )

Festival Fun Day 2

Friday night , I went to bed at one am . Saturday morning , why am I up at 5 am ? I wish there was an explanation but no . For some reason everyone got up at stupid o'clock for no apparent reason when breakfast wasn't until 9 ... wow .

So Firstly I'd like to ask you a question .  Have you ever tried to put super tight skinny jeans on in two man tent ? If not then lucky you ;) I literally spent ten minutes lying on the floor in the painfully slow process of wiggling into these jeans and then doing a kind of weird dance like struggle on the floor whilst trying to pull them up ... to much information ? sorry aha ;) When I was finally got dressed I went for breakfast and then went exploring :) I think I'm going to do this with small sentences and a picture but as we all know I'm not very good at short explanations due to my having a disorder I like to call obsessive rambling syndrome ;)

Sooo where to start to start ? I might try the beginning :) Right then , After breakfast I when for a proper look at our part of camp-site in day light because It was ten at night when I got there on Friday :) The tent's were all in a circle around a little gazebo where we could all sit together and chat .. until the ground got soaked :) The gazebo also had our mascot a painted gnome which for some unknown reason had a green face tied to the inside :) haha








Then Me and my friends went for a look around in the woods :) We found the lake where they did kayaking it  smelt like the sea and I spent hours wondering why until I worked out that Southhampton is actually not that far from the sea ... How did I get a B in GCSE geography ? I'll never know aha :) 



Not long after that , I found a bit of the lake that had bits of wood sticking out of it and I don't know if it's just me but I couldn't help thinking it looked a bit like a ship wreck... probably just me aha but regardless of my Disney inspired interpretations of the layout of the universe it made me think about my favourite Disney princess ... Ariel :) 

Fun fact : Ariel is a Hebrew name that means lion of god :) Rawrrrr



After continuing our little adventure for a good hour we found a little forest which looked like the rainforest no joke :) I found a pretty little stream there and took a lot of wrong turns on my way to no where but it was so awesome :) The other day I spoke about noticing the hidden little things and it was actually one of my favourite blogs to write , I'll link to it here . I've definitely noticed that I'm doing this more especially the other day , I saw a log just a average none exciting log fallen from a tree but i didn't see that bit. No , I saw this tiny little leaf that was the most beautiful shade of green that was sprouting from it and I thought wow we really do miss so much when we arn't looking for the right things ... I guess sadness has a way of blinding us but I refuse not to see the world in it's full beauty when there is so much to look at life's not long enough for that <3

Dancing in the rain...forest ;) 
why would you let yourself miss the little things when they make the big things ... If you don't look you might never know what you missed . I know its small but everything matters you just forget that sometimes :) <3


Finally after a few hours exploring we went back towards camp and heard someone shouting something about free cupcakes ! So obviously we ran all the way to this big tent in which they were decorating cupcakes ! For FREE! woooo :D I love cupcakes so I chose a chocolate one and used yellow icing because I'm hufflepuff and proud ;) Then I piled on as many sweets as I could because I love sweets even more than cupcakes haha :)


I then met some new people and with them and my other friend we went and found a park where we sat on the swing set for ages and talked ... I love swings there like flying and being free but staying exactly where you are sooo shout out to whoever invented swings I guess :) Just before we had to leave; a boy with ginger hair ( I love ginger hair) Came over to me and started talking to me about stuff and i found out he was from south Wales which just tops it off because I love the welsh accent ... So he was lovely , I did ask him to come home with me to read to me because I love the accent so much ... yeah I think I scared him ;) I love meeting new people who are friendly and smiley it literally makes my day :) After that we walked back to the main camp-site where an amazing live band were playing so me and my boyfriend stood and watched for ages it was so perfect <3 You know those moments when your so happy you could burst so you just stand there hugging someone with the music playing and you realise that everything is finally okay ? okay. Well it was one of those ( sorry I couldn't resist a TFIOS ) reference in there :)

I feel like I'm missing so much like I spent ages writing a whole pad of heart shaped hopeful notes and I saw a rainbow that made me really happy because well it's pretty colours magically appearing in the sky symbolising the sun is coming back and that the rain is nearly over... I think Rainbows should be a symbol of hope :)

Finally when it got dark there was a massive fireworks display which was absolutely breath taking :) I did'nt get any pictures of that because some things I guess you just has to be there to understand <3 But I did take a picture of the fair ground rides because the lit up like a Christmas tree ( sorry yet another TFIOS refernce ;) ) and it actually looked pretty awesome

Following that I went to a disco that had millions of glow sticks literally everywhere and then went back to the camp to chat with my boyfriend and a girl who is also a hopeful who met ( seriously the best thing that happened to me that weekend ) I'd never met another hopeful before so my #100happydays was definitely meeting her but for the picture it was watching that band with my fantastic boyfriend when I realised how lucky I am to have someone as amazing as him in my life <3

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 
Remember that life is always worth living because although there will always be bad days, there will also be days like today that make everything seem worth it <3 Things do get better .. I pinkie promise you that <3

#100happydays: day 26 ( I'm in Love : One Million Lovely Letters )

Good evening :)

Tomorrow I'm leaving to go send the weekend at a festival that is organised by a youth group I'm in so this for once is actually going to be a short post when I say it is ;) I don't know what it is but the minute I write short post , it triggers a thousand different idea's in my head that are just desperate to be translated into words and weaved into some sort of morals within a blog that ends up being a 3000 word essay by the time I'm done ... I just love writing :) I mean I definitely don't have time to write hence why I write in my sleeping time but there is no denying that I love it unconditionally :)

Another woman who loves writing is one whom I have written about before in this blog; Jodi Ann Bickley :) If you want to read me explaining more about her and her project One Million lovely Letters , the you can  find that blog post here :) However today I would like to talk about her book of which I am about one third of the way through and it is quite honestly breathtaking . I'm not going to lie , usually I dislike reading auto biography's. I often get bored and they simply don't keep my attention but One Million Lovely Letters has captivated me in a way I  believe no book has ever done before. I was enthralled by the un-dying kindness of her mother and her words and use of language was enchanting . This is a truly inspirational book ... and I haven't even finished :) Frequently I disagree with the kindly short reviews of fellow writers and newspapers on the front cover of the book and feel they are over exaggerated to sell the book which is of course there overall purpose . However in One Million Lovely Letters I now realise that I couldn't agree more with Ed Sheeran when he states "It's a fantastic book, from a fantastic wordsmith. " I deeply recommend you read this book at the first chance you get and I sincerely hope you get as much out of it as I am :) Today's #100happydays picture is a picture of the book from my lunch hour which I spent reading it with a 7up which my friend bought me randomly which was really nice of him :) and my post it notes and a pen :) I actually started putting post it notes on the pages wherever Ms. Bickley really took my breath to the point where I was left wonder struck and had to stop for several minutes to process the utter compassion and awe I felt for what I had just read ... and just me this happened a lot you can barely read the book for post it notes aha ;) 

“We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.”
—Charlie Chaplin
Finally because of the festival that I spoke about at the beginning of this blog , I will not be able to post until sunday due to being in a field with no internet access and a lot of spiders :/ However I will write my blogs on paper and and I will probably do one big blog on Sunday with all three of those days #100happydays pictures in and a big long blog :) 
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
I hope you have a lovely weekend , remember that you're beautful and amazing because it's true and I would be very upset if you forgot <3 Try out something new this weekend even if it's just a new meal or booking a class for something you've always wanted to learn and let me know about it in the comments :) 
Much Love, Love Muchly

#100happydays: day 20 ( You're beautiful )

hellooo :) 

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 . 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 : 


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 
  
/

NOUN (plural beauties)

  • 1[MASS NOUN] A combination of qualities, such as shape, colour, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight:
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

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
