Self Esteem Penguin !

Happy Thursday !! 

Today I over heard someone call to someone else as they walked off, " Have a positive day!" and that made me smile :) So here's this weeks top ten pins to try make you smile  <3 

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 :)

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 :)

#100happydays: day 19 ( Chocoholic )

Good evening :)

I don't have much to say today . I know; It's a miracle but I'm shattered :) I've been out all night and  now my best  friends here because she's not feeling great so I can't write much because I kinda want to get back to her and giving her hugs while force feeding her chocolate because I love her lots <3 

In case your interested were eating Galaxy Counters because chocolates good and everyone knows sad people need calories :) I had quite a nice day and I will write a proper blog post when I get home tomorrow night :) I spent my lunch hour today brainstorming my blog ideas for the near future :) I'm definitely planning to do a things to do when your feeling down list because it's important to know how to pick yourself up when your sad . We all get down sometimes but it's about how we deal with it and how quickly we can put a smile back on our faces or finding someone or something that can put the smile back there for you :) So today's quotes is simple but for some unknown reason I absolutely love it and  it's helped me a lot : 

" Pick yourself up, You got this" 

Stay Strong <3 Stay smiley :) 
I hope your day is truly wonderful and full of happiness 
Much love, Love much-ly

#100happydays: day 16 ( Your Life, Your Passions )

Helloooo :) 

I'm really sorry I didn't write this yesterday. I actually feel so bad aha :) I've been so busy last night and tonight ( friends having a bad time so was looking after them ) So neither of these will be particularly long either but I'm going to try my best . I just knew I had to do them :) 

So today's #100happydays photo is a picture of my drum kit :) I've had her nearly a year now, her name's Anastasia ( Yes I'm one of those people that name their musical instruments ) I've been playing drums for a year and a half ish now and I really enjoy it... Despite the fact I am a very jumpy person and jump every time it makes a noise haha :)  Today I had a really good drum lesson and my drum teacher said I'm nearly ready to do grade two which I'm really happy about. 

I love playing drums so much . It helps me calm down and I like the way I feel when playing them, like I'm in my own little world where nobody can get to me  ( anyone who plays any instrument or has a passion will probably understand what I mean by that ... hopefully .... maybe I'm just insane :/ oh well :) If I'm insane I'm definitely not suffering from the insanity , in fact I'm rather enjoying it ;) ) I started Playing drums because people said I couldn't. No one believed I could do it let alone stick with it ...I like proving people wrong and breaking stereotypes because it's always fun to shock people out of there stereotyping :) After all it must be said that the number of male drummers in proportion to female drummers does outweigh them rather a lot which is unfortunate because playing an instrument or having a passion that makes you happy is so important and fun :) If you don't have one go and find one it might make you feel really good about yourself . Whether it's knitting, swimming , blogging, playing a musical instrument or anything in-between. Just find whatever makes YOU happy . Do not let someone else who is not you therefore doesn't have the right t live your life in your place control your self-belief causing you to not try new things and take up hobbies because there doubt in you shouldn't matter because that thing you don't do because someone said " oh you'll never do it" or " you'll never be as good as ( fill in name here) " Might be the best thing you never did. It could make you so happy and if it does it doesn't matter if your as good as the other people there's always going to be someone better and someone worse than you . If there was no one better you wouldn't have anything to aim for and where's the fun and ambition in that :) Trust me I'm not a very good drummer ( no seriously I'm not ) but I'm better than I was when I'd never picked up a drumstick in my life ;) well I hope so anyway but regardless of that ; It makes me happy and happiness is important because the your smiling and I know I say this a lot mainly cause I'm unimaginative but also because its true aha ;) Smiling is good for you , and I like your smile so If for nothing else then where it for me ... go on , pretty please ? pretty please with a cherry on top ? :) You are an amazing example of a human being and I believe in you now go and show everyone else that they should too :) 

Sound's cheesy but It's right  and we all need a bit of cheesy- ness
now an again ... damn I like cheese especially mozzarella 

There's a great video about passions on YouTube by Savannah Brown I'll link to that here :) It's really good and writing this blog just reminded me of it and I think it's a great video. Savannah words it really well ... a lot better than me aha but she's definitely worth watching . Oh and while your on her channel she did a Slam poem called " What Guys Look For In Girls"  It's really good for self confidence and really, really worth your time. She wrote it in response to one of those what guys look for in girls tag videos ( If you couldn't guess by the title ;) )  Savannah puts it so well please watch it is so important for girls to hear words like hers :) She is the person who first inspired me to start writing slam poetry and listening to it :) Enjoy ! 

So this keeping it short because I need sleep and have another post to write after this didn't really work out I guess .. Oh well,  good talk :) I hope you enjoyed it I'm very very tired so I'm sorry for any mistakes and once again I'm sorry for the late post . However please do go find a passion and don't allow anyone to stop you pursuing them with dumb dream crushing words . You take those words and you can throw them back in there face ( not literally violence is never the answer) when your on stage in the west end singing your heart out or accepting your Olympic gold medal for gymnastic's or even handing your grandma a hand knitted scarf ;) You can do this, I know you can :) ( as long as you do it in a safe way, please don't be like my hobbies swimming and run into the sea when there's no one around,  get swept away and die... because that would not be fun and i'd feel really bad and I'd miss you because your worth a lot in this world no matter what you think  ) So go and pursue your dreams , and If you say you don't have any then go and find some , try a load of new things I'm sure you'll find something and you never know unless you try :) Unless your hobbies doing drugs or something ... in which case please stop and find something that wont ruin your life in the long term, make your family cry when they find out and probably leave you with lasting damage ... seriously just take up knitting ;)

I'm in the mood for a Disney quote today , this is one of my favourites :) 

" They can't order me to stop dreaming " 

- Cinderella 

So I hope you have a very lovely evening . 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

You're going to do amazing things, I just know it . 

Much love, Love Much-ly

#100happydays: day 15

Good afternoon :)

 

How are we all today?  :) I'm grand if anyone wondering in fact " I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up " :) you have no idea how desperate I was to quote that haha :) I've been re-reading The Fault in our Stars by John Green before the film comes out this week . I'm about half way through and actually finding it painful to continue reading whilst being aware of the tragedy I know awaits me, drawing closer and closer with every page I turn ... yet I can't turn them fast enough :) If anyone reading hasn't read it ... just go and read it I can't say anything that will make you love the book more that reading it :) You wont regret it .

 

Today's been nice I hope your today has also been nice because then you will be smiley and smiling's good :) I'm sure your beautiful when you smile ... well beautiful-er <3 cheesy but true . Wearing your smile whether your feeling it or forcing it ; smiling's proven to make you feel better and I guess if you smile at someone else whether it's a friend or a stranger they will quite likely smile back and then they will feel happier because they're smiling and BAM you've just set off a chain reaction of smiling and people feeling better , aren't you a fantastic human being ;) 17 muscles, one tiny movement , it's not that much effort but it could do so much  :) So a quick challenge, not even a challenge because it's so easy but worth while all the same : Smile at someone, anyone just let them know that you're happy and it's okay for them to be too :) I found a blog that seems pretty positive and I really enjoyed reading here if you have time you should definitely check it out :)

 

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh

 

of smiling and happiness; My #100happydays today was kind of difficult to choose , there were lots of things but none of them are massive but little things make up big days :) In the end I chose a photo of a box of quotes a friend gave me at Christmas, she found them , wrote them out ( I'm mean like a hundred of them or something ridiculously sweet) , and gave them to me to keep me smiling.. I have to admit , I cried ( I know it's ironic) But happy tears I promise you ;) I have kept them and looked through them when I'm down. Today I decided my room needed brightening up so I stuck up a world map to remind me if things aren't always going so well here it doesn't even matter how bad it is because I have the rest of the world to explore , a lot more people to meet and so many more smile's to come...I think that's a important thing to remember :) I then found some blue tack and stuck all the quotes to my door to make it like a doorway of positivity :) I only got about a third the way down but I'm going to write up some more quotes and get to half the door and then I think I will find a positive poster to cover the bottom half :) If anyone knows any good quotes to use for this sort of thing then please feel free to comment them :)

 

Remember to Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

If your having a bad day try making a box of positive quotes, it will distract you from the bad day and you will have something to turn to if you get another bad 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 :

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort"

- Herm Albright

I kinda want to follow this by quoting the Madagascar penguins with " Smile and wave boys, Smile and wave" but I dont think that's relevant ... It makes sense in my head ;)

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 11

 

Helloooo :)

 

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

Baby hedgehogs are called hoglets :D

 

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

 

 

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

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

#100happydays: day 10

Good Afternoon :)

I know, I know ... It's a miracle that I'm writing this and its not even eleven at night yet ;)

Today's been tiring ( actually I say that quite a lot... maybe it's just me an I need to go bed earlier instead of writing midnight blog's aha ) However today I've spent a lot of time at the hospital doing blood tests and being poked and prodded all day :/ "SUCH FUN" ... sorry, I just couldn't resist slipping a Miranda reference in there :) Nothing serious tho. 

Despite being shattered on the way home ( woo got the afternoon off school to revise... *cough* YouTube *cough* ;) ) On they out of the hospital i noticed a market stall selling fruit and veg' and ... STRAWBERRIES :D Have I ever told you how much I love strawberries because I really really really love strawberries ... a lot :) I love the sweetness and the freshness colliding together in your mouth in moments of amazingly perfect bliss .... You know how yesterday I said you couldn't become a perfect human being ... well the doesn't apply to strawberries as they can very clearly become objects beyond perfection. 

BLISS , Ruby Red Succulent BLISS :)

I know you wont believe this... but it actually gets even better :) I then experienced a random act of kindness by the man who was selling me them . It may seem so small and I sincerely doubt he knew how much I appreciated it but as I paid for my strawberries the man handed me them and then saw that I was carrying paper work and prescriptions in my bag so he got me a bag and said this should make it easier to carry all that :) I'm aware of how small this is ... I'm also aware it was a nice thing to do that he didn't have to do and I was most definitely grateful for him to do :) This just proves that if you catch the right person with your Random act of kindness on what for them wasn't a particularly great day .. You might just make their day. In fact its very , very likely :)

Kindness is for everyone , Everyone can receive it and everyone can give it ... If we all did then everyone would receive it and if everyone's day was made by a random act of kindness in dark times just think how much happier the world would be :) 

“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” 
― Mark Twain


So how about you leave a hopeful note ? Or smile at a stranger ? Or send a loving text to a friend who's not feeling great ... However small your random act of kindness it will be soooo appreciated :) Plus you will probably feel happy because of making someone else happy so yayyy its win, win :D 

Byes 
have a nice day 
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 ;)

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 :)  

“Well, we all make mistakes, dear, so just put it behind you. We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

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

Bye for now 

Much love, Love much-ly

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 ;) 

#100happydays: day 6

 Evening all :) 

I hope you've had a good day :) I have had a truly wonderful evening full of heart to hearts, big hugs and lots of laughter and of course my favourite thing; SMILING :D 
Never under-estimate a bit of positivity :)

Today's picture is a quote because I think attitude is half the way to a smile ... possibly more :) Today I knew I needed a happy attitude to be with the person I was and They cheered me up even more because happy people want to be around other happy people and then any part of you that's not actually happy they tend to cheer up :) 

I've learnt today that if you surround yourself with positive people even on the darkest days and they can brighten it :) always remember:

" Even the darkest hour has only 60 minutes " 
- Morris Mandel

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
Sorry this was short tonight 
I will either do a proper blog tomorrow night or Sunday

#100happydays: day 5

 Good Evening :)

I'm absolutely shattered , i was going to write this earlier but I was struggling to think of something good . So i called my boyfriend and had a chat :) He said to me that I shouldn't worry about little unimportant things because I was panicking about what to say . To be honest I think this is important because writing this blog does mean a lot to me and I really, really, really want it to work out :) However he is right about putting things into perspective. Sometimes we need someone else to tell us that were panicking to much about something that actually when you think about it isn't the end of the world but simply matters to us . That's not to say finding things that matter to us isn't important because of cause it is and things mattering inspire's and motivates us to go for the to work for the things we want to do on days when all we really want to do is just crawl back into bed and hibernate for a good few months ;)

So today's photo the only way i could think to demonstrate the magic powers of a nice phone call :)If you know a friends feeling down why not give them a phone call ? Just have a positive friendly chat and talk about things until they sound just a little more smiley :) Even just the fact that you cared enough to call them will cheer them up because .. well who doesn't like to feel loved ? 

There's always something to smile about even if it's difficult to spot , help them see it if their vision gets a little blurred :) In the words of Marilyn Monroe: 

“Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about." 

A Positive phone call made my day today ... see if you could get one to make someone else's :)

Much love, Love much-ly

#100happydays : day 1

Hiii :) 

As I've previously mentioned , I am very much a fan of positivity. Recently one of my friends started posting everyday something that made her happy in that day with the hashtag #100happydays . I looked into this and it turned out to be a challenge to post a picture of something that made you happy each day for 100 days :) If you would like to try
it out or read more about it then click here : http://100happydays.com/

 Anyways, today I'm happy for a lot of reasons :) I'm  in a fantastically bubbly mood . I had a lovely lunch at my grandad's , walked his dog in the sunshine and I spent the afternoon laughing with my dad :) and of course, being myself the highlight of my day came when my wildlife apricot yogurt played on the brand name wildlife and labelled the yogurt ... Wait for it * drum roll *  "ape-ricot yogurt " for someone who is a 5 year old child at heart this made my smile therefore making my day, because as I like to say; smiling is good for you :)

I Hope you're having a lovely day today, and if you're not I hope it gets a lot better :) Remember:

" Every day may not be good, but there's something good in everyday. "


Keep your head up and look for your smile in today because it might be as small as a pun on a yogurt packet but I guarantee it's there :) And if you honestly , truly can't find it, I personally believe you need to look harder . However if all else fails,  get up and go make that something good in your day happen. You could simply bake a cake for your grandma or write a hopeful note (a post it note with a nice message on left somewhere for a stranger) and spread a little happiness because I'm pretty sure you won't be able to help getting a little on yourself :)

much love , love much-ly
