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 :)

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 ;)

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 :) 

"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently" - Henry Ford 

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 !

This is sooooo cute ! And easy ! I'm definitely going to start making these as gifts :) 

I have no words ... 

The Doctor... quoted Mary Poppins... I'm not sure I can handle how weirdly happy this is making me ! This is not how normal people should react ... I probably need medicine for my weirdness , and a spoon full of sugar to make it go down ;) 

Always something to remember :) This reminds me of a video Carrie Hope Fletcher did a while ago called "Easier Said Than Done" Which is great and you should definitely check it out :)

Important messages brought to you by a penguin... look at him waving his little flippers around ! ^.^

Less than a month till Valentine day ! I will be putting this to good use <3 

soooo if I love fairy dust then is that extra strong magic then ? Because for a teenager, I buy and awful lot of fairy dust :) 

Can this be my excuse for wearing my sparkly car ears in public ? Don't judge me aha Carrie has a pair so I wanted some ;) 

How do these all work ? This is some weird hedgehog-ology that I don't know about ! I really need a hedgehog now , I've always wanted a hedgehog :) My birthdays July 19th if anyone knows where they can get me a hedgehog aha ;) 

oooo new challenge for the week ! Tell one person that you love them each day of this week :) Even if you just leave "I love you" on a post it note for a stranger, wouldn't that be nice ? <3

I hope you have a lovely week :) Comment your favourite pin and if you want some more positivity from pinterest then you can follow me here for quotes, happy stuff and cute things all week long :)

Good Morning Gorgeous :)

Today I'm posting my first weekly top ten pins post :) This week with new year I've been scrolling through endless motivational quotes and the odd unicorn ;) So here's my favourites ! Let me know yours in the comments <3 

Change your thinking, see the beauty in everything and yay ! Smiles :) 

This would be so sweet to have in the house for whenever you need a wish :)

Sweet as a wonka bar :) Roald Dahl always has something good to say <3

I'm really going to try and follow this in 2015, If people all followed this then everyone would be happier :) 

Easy eye-shadow that looks gorgeous ! I'm going to try this out tomorrow with my new Smash Box eye-shadow pallet !

We all need to here this once in a while <3 But take it from me, you're doing good . I promise <3

Ruunnnnnnnn !

This is possibly my favourite reading nook ever ! I want . 

I feel like we should all learn the anatomy of a unicorn in case Boris Johnson comes into power one day and all your exams depend on it !... you never know ;) 

A lil bit of running motivation from the girl who picks a chocolate bar from the vending machine before she goes to the gym and then aims to burn off the exact amount of calories in that bar so I can eat it afterwards and put no calories on ..umm... woo fitness ? ;)

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

New Years Resolutions

Hello :) 

With Christmas Over and now I've finished my blogmas series 'It'sSnowingInMyBubble' Which I really hope you enjoyed , I wanted to do what I assume every other blogger is doing either today or yesterday and write about new years resolutions :) I usually try to make my posts as original and unique as I can , so why write a new years resolutions post ? Well firstly because I want to , writing makes me happy and I would like to get my new years resolutions down where me and others can see them so that I'm more likely to stick to them , I welcome anyone else who wants to do this to write theirs in the comments :) Secondly , last night when I was deciding on my new years resolutions, I realised that I enjoyed looking through pinterest and other peoples blogs to see what theirs were and often found that so,me of their resolutions were very relevant to me :) 

My New Years Resolutions : 

1) Read more books ! 
I'm aiming to read at least 30 this year and am really looking forward to getting back into reading :) If I find any particularly good ones then I might write a few mini reviews through the year but I'm definitely going to do a top 5 at the end of the year !

2) Exercise more !
Exercise is a great way to release stress and I really want to start swimming again and maybe do some running because with exams and all the negativity that comes with life sometimes it's good to have a bit of you time . 

3) Drink more water !
I drink no where near enough water and I really want to improve my skin this year before I start college :) 

4) Get into a Good Skin Care Routine !
I'm always forgetting to take my make up off and this year I'm aiming to cleanse, tone and moisturise everynight before bed... I'm not the most organised person but I'm planning to keep my cleanser, toner and moisturiser on my bedside table to make it as easy as possible ! 

5) Be Kinder ! 
This year I've set myself a challenge to leave at least one hopeful note a week :) I'm going to put a picture of that hopeful note at the end of one of my posts each week to try and encourage myself to do it :) 

Please let me know your new years resolutions in the comments, I really love hearing them :) 

This year I'm aiming to post twice a week , the main blog post will hopefully be on a Monday and the other will be on whatever other day I can find a spare hour and it's going to be my top ten pins from pinterest that week :) 

Much Love , Love Much-ly

Beautiful words :)

Hello sweetie :) 

If you just got the Doctor Who reference there then you get 10 points and are as awesome as the words I'm about to tell you about .. and if you didn't then I'm sure you're still pretty awesome because you're you! How could you get any more awesome than that :) On the subject of Doctor Who, Oh my gosh am I the only one who's slightly frightened after the last episode .. I don't even know what to think ! I know one thing though , PLEASE DON'T LET ANYONE CREMATE ME ! ;) 

Anyways .. I need to learn to stop waffling. Actually I've started to really like potato waffles recently and ... wait, I'm doing it again aha :) So its no big secret that I'm ever so slightly in love with Carrie Hope Fletcher ( I'll link to her YouTube channel here ) One of the first videos I watched of hers after the Disney Princess song , was about loads of really cool, awesome words that no one really knew about and ever since then I have been collecting beautiful words on my pinterest account, so I thought I'd share a few with you today :) 

Koi no yokan 

Okay, this ones Japanese but still, the meaning is super cute :) The definition is : 

The sense one has upon meeting another person that they will fall in love <3 

Selcouth 

Unfamiliar, strange, rare, and yet marvellous 

( I love that there is a word for this :D ) 

Cingulomania 

The strong desire to hold someone in your arms <3 awwwww :) 

Serendipity 

Finding something nice whilst looking for something else 

Brontide 

The low rumble of distant thunder .

( Doddleoddle a Youtuber, wrote a really cute song about thunder storms which you can find here <3 ) 

Eleutheromania

An intense and irresistible desire for freedom :) 

Abracadabra

Although everyone knows this mini magic spell from Aladin, it actually comes from the Hebrew phrase " Avrakehdabra " which means I will create as I speak :)

Collywobbles 

I'm not sure I'm ever going to get over the fact that this is actually a word :D It means: 

The uneasiness; Known as the butterflies in your tummy <3 

Redamancy 

The act of loving someone who loves you; a love returned in full :) 

Wonderstruck 

Experiencing a sudden feeling of awed delight or wonder <3 

I know quite a few people know about this word , but it's so cute .. I think it should be used more, I mean even just the thought of the word makes me happy :) Comment if you manage to get it into your day ( Or any of the other words ) and you can have ten points ;) Lets bring back the beautiful words <3 

I hope you've had a fabulous week where you experienced serendipity resulting in koi no yokan which lead to redamancy even if it gave you collywobbles at first and now you are overcome with cingulomania at these selcouth happenings, I still hope you have felt wonderstruck at least once, perhaps at the beautiful sound of brontide whilst you are snuggled up in your bed which sparked a sense of eleutheromania in your heart. And if all that just doesn't work out; say ABRACADABRA! and try again <3 :)  

Todays quotes, I found it on pinterest but cant
 find out who wrote it <3 Still, I like it too
 much not to show you :) 

Comment your favourite word below :) 

Lots of love and cuddles <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 

#100happydays : Day 100 ( WE MADE IT ! :D )

Heyyy :) 

So the final day of my #100happydays challenge is here and I have to say that today's #100happydays is that I've finished the challenge :) Not because I didn't like doing it because I really did but It's e always nice to finish things and accomplish them when you thought you might give up or someone else told you not to bother because "there isn't a point " . There is a point and the point is it matters to you and YOU are important and deserve recognition by yourself as a person who requires the same amount of love and kindness from yourself as other people do . You are as important as everyone else and you should do what makes you happy because at the end of the day you want to sit there counting the moments that made you smile and where you felt good about yourself, your world and your life . You deserve that . <3 

I believe in you and if you want to do something , no matter what it is ; from climbing mount Everast, to becoming a successful actress to saying something that's difficult or seems scary . Yes it might look tedious, terrifying , risky and ridiculously optimistic to even suggest you could do such a thing but I promise you can <3 Prove them all wrong ! Every single one and make them shocked make them confused at where you found the courage to do something when they didn't tell you had the ability to.  I can tell you where you found that courage . IN YOU . Because you are an amazing, wonderful, complex, intelligent and above all kind , human being and you can do anything you put your mind to however big or small . I believe in you and I say that over and over in so many of my blogs but it doesn't matter because the only person who really needs to believe in you is you :) I know you can do it and you need to let yourself know that you can do it because you're getting confused, bewildered by society's expectations and limitations that don't have to be so because you are an individual with your own hopes, your own dreams and your own potential . 

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

-Albert Einstien 

I didn't think I could start a blog and commit to writing regularly but I wanted to and I love writing so I did . I managed it , I talked about a hundred days of my life and It might seem small but I'm pretty proud of that and I'm going to continue because I have so many words inside me that I want to be heard and this is my way of saying them . A lot of days the need to sleep, the frustration when i'd spent two hours writing and accidentally deleted the whole thing , thing stress of finding only happy things to say after an awful day ...yes that would almost over ride the fact that writing made me happy and yes i'd be thinking if I stopped writing it would matter and I've been told that but it matters to me . And I like you am a human being and we all matter and if something makes you happy oh my gosh do it ! Don't let it bring you down though, if you need a break have a break if you want to do something else do it ! As long as you're happy  But don't ever stop because you've had a bad day or someone has said it doesn't matter .

I really hope you have enjoyed reading my #100happydays challenge blogs :) You can find the website to read about how you can do it here  :) I really think this challenge has benefited me and I have even started a little notebook of one good thing that happen each day so that I don't stop looking for the good little things because if this has taught me anything; it's that the little things are way more important than the big things and I way too often used to forget that <3 If you have been doing the #100happydays challenge then please link to your blog in the comments, I would love to have a look :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

I hope you've had an amazing day :) 

Much love, Love much-ly

Smiley Sundays- #100happydays: Day 93-99

Good Morning :) 

I hope your day can begin with love <3 and end with wonderful memories :) Now wouldn't thank be wonderful ? Then SMILE ! And make it happen :)  This is my last Smiley Sunday Post and in true Smiley Sunday post style is late ;) Thank you for reading them and I really hope you've enjoyed them <3 

#100happydays : Day 93 ( Monday ) 

I feel so unbelievably happy, content , silent, loud, loving and loved right now that my smile is spreading across my face as I think the thoughts that I thought and of the feels that I felt and realise how worth the bad times are for the moments like this :) Today I spent the day with my boyfriend, we watched Doctor who ( 9th doctor for anyone who is interested , who's your favourite doctor ? ) and then built a blanket fort and played guitar hero before I fell asleep because the blanket fort was way too comfy ( not that I'm complaining ) . Once I got home I finished off a perfect night with a hot chocolate and marshmallows and slept happily in a hoodie because it was too cold but I was too tired to care :) 

#100happydays : Day 94 ( Tuesday ) 

New Books ! Woo :D The one thing I love about the new academic year is the new books. Fresh, clean pages and that lovely neat writing from the one day/lesson of the year that you actually remember a pen ;) I wrote a blog post about my thoughts on the new school year which you can find here :)  But I hope you've had a wonderful start to a year full of lots of procrastinating and hopefully a little school work ;) 

#100happydays : Day 95 ( Wednesday )

My best friends bag some what resembles a mini fridge ... and at the end of the school day an empty mini fridge :) I was extremely happy when I found my best friends mum had made her a cheese sandwich just the way I like it :) Yay! I know that's completely irrelevant to anything but the point is the little things like stealing your friends food and laughing around a table ... they often get taken for granted but they're often the things that matter the most <3 Of course the most important thing about Wednesdays is THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF !!! WOOO ! Despite being absolutely distraught at Norman leaving , NOOOOOOO! His Pieful Tower made my day :D 

YOU HAVE TO LOVE NORMAN <3

#100happydays : Day 96 ( Thursday )

STRESSFUL DAYS, NEED MILKYWAYS :) When I get panicky or worried, when I calm down a lil bit I treat myself a Milkyway... or five ;) They're definitely magic <3 The nicest / cutest thing that happened today, after a pretty rubbishy day when I had practically no make up on and was feeling rather meh ; a little girl came up to me a said "You're Pretty" and it just really made me smile because she didn't know what she was doing, she didn't know that I needed a boost but she was young and there was kindness in her and it just makes me happy that the world has potential like that . So that when it all seems pointless someone will be a little human towards you, a stranger and tell you something to give you faith that it's not all that bad <3 On that note, next time you see a stranger in a pretty dress tell them or loudly tell your friends that you think that person looks lovely :) Trust me it's worth it :) It's really really worth it . 

#100happydays : Day 97 ( Friday ) 

Nothing like a good Disney Movie to cheer you up , So we watched UP :) Whilst eating chocolate ice cream <3 UP is like my all time favourite love story and just awwww :) I want a letter box with hand prints on it !!! 

#100happydays: Day 98 ( Saturday ) 

Today me and my best friend went to her cousins, baby's, birthday party :) He was turning two and to be honest I think I was even more excited about the toy car and bubbles than him ;) He had an awesome In The Night Garden cake that was really cute :) Afterwards we went to a massive ASDA and you can't understand how happy this made me because I don't know why but I just really love ASDA ! :D We bought Ice cream and sweets and then spent the evening watching X-factor and getting fat :) Woo ! Happy days ;) 

#100happydays : Day 99 ( Sunday ) 

Spending the morning lying on the sofa with your best friend watching a whole series worth of TV and eating yoghurt for breakfast ( We made like Greek yoghurt mixed with raspberries and chocolate digestives, it sounds weird but is actually really nice ) is great :) Until you realise that you have forty-five minutes to be showered, straighten your hair, do your make up , get dressed and walked the dog .... that was an  urm interesting attempt :) I want more lazy days like this but there's so much school work ! As soon as I work out how to manage it I will probably write a blog post about it ... expect that on the 4th of never ;) 

Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
