Blogmas Day 14: A Winter Walk

Image
Today's original post is having to be postponed, again, because today I left the house and that is a celebration that needs to be relived on my blog instantly. Last night I was happy, so I decided to keep up my good mood by writing out a to do list to keep me busy today so I wouldn't confine to my bed and waste away yet another day. And when I woke it was easy to stay in bed, but I knew I had to get up and complete my list. And so far, so very good. I've just come out of the shower and while I'm dying off I'm writing this post and then it's back to work, my room needs cleaning, and I need to do some washing, just general bits and bobs. My main aim today was to get out the house, to either walk, jog, or run I didn't really mind.. and I accomplished my main goal. While I was out everything just felt Christmassy, the air was crisp, there were squirrels around, seagulls scrounging around the football field, dog walkers in fluffy hats.. it was such a beautiful ...

Blogmas Day 13: Baby It's Cold Outside

Image
I wasn't going to post until tomorrow where I would have had enough time to explain what the hell is going on with Blogmas right now, but I got an idea for a post and I'm feeling happy right now, and I got excited over God knows what and my fingers were itching to type up a post. I will briefly say I stopped posting because I had a moment where I let everything crush me, but I'm (praying, JESUS CHRIST I'M PRAYING) that I've come out of it and I can do what I need to. So for Blogmas, I was going to write out every post I've missed and just BAM BAM BAM whack 'em all out one by one all in one day, but then I realised how silly that would be and I should probably just pretend I wrote on the days I missed and continue like nothing happened. So this is day 13. Today was a good day, I've been trying to get a certain someone into twenty one pilots and today I introduced her to Kitchen Sink (which is the best song they've done, it hits me with every singl...

Blogmas Day 7: The Look What I Did List

Image
I'm absolutely obsessed with twenty one pilots, I should probably chill out with how much I'm listening to them because I relate to every word and it probably isn't helping with this awful mood I've been in these past few days. My mood is a mixture of winter blues, which I get quite bad, and not leaving my room ever. Which I'm trying to change but it's so hard! This post was only decided today because I was reading one of my favourite blogs and she did this, and she also recommended other people do it, and I think it would help my mood tremendously, so I'm going to do it too. As 2015 draws to it's end, it's the time of year people are starting to reflect on everything they've done over the past 12 months (well, 11) and while the second half of the year was absolutely dreadful, the first half was one of the best times of my life, of course I can barely remember any of it now because I'm clouded with moodiness, but I want to talk about every...

Blogmas Day 6: The Christmas Tag

Image
I was so busy yesterday I didn't get round to posting, if I really wanted I could have found the time but I was still a little sulky about my birthday, not because my birthday didn't go as planned, it was just an all round horrible day, and the fact it was my birthday just made it worse, I still can't walk comfortably after falling down the stairs. So I'm posting twice in one day again, but I won't post the other 'till later because I need to take the photos for it when it's dark.. which is about now actually to be honest but we have gas and plumber people in the house and if I start taking photos I think I'd freak them out a little.. So, I'm not feeling particularly festive today (still a little sulky -and very sore from those bloody stairs) so I'm keeping things simple, but still fun -I'm doing a tag, which I actually really love doing, though it's going to be slightly awkward because a few of the questions I'm turning into posts t...

Blogmas Day 5: My 18th Birthday

Image
This post is not about my birthday, not really. But it is in fact my birthday, and I don't want to skip a Blogmas, so I'm going to talk about things that might be birthday related but are more life related. I'm having a bad day and I just want to blog. So, my 18th, how's that going? Well, I tried to make pancakes, but due to kitchen emergencies it had to be swapped for a cooked breakfast, which I was fine with but I was awfully full and sicky afterwards. I decided on a bath pamper session, and never had such a stressful time leg shaving ever.(legs are still very hairy after  half an hour of shaving). I left my bath and pampered, but after all the hassle, had to be cut short because my mum decided she was going to put the tree up before I had finished. I fell down the stairs and got carpet burn on my bum, and I'm pretty sure a bruise is coming along with that also, when I fell I did that thing where you laugh really hard and then your laughter slowly merges into ...

Blogmas Day 4: Christmas Eve Boxes

Image
Today is my birthday eve, I'm very busy making sure everything is perfect ready for tomorrow, my room is in the process of having a massive tidy, I have my birthday outfit sorted, tomorrow night has been planned and sorted, the day after has been planned, I just need my Sunday birthday outfit.. in all honesty today has been a roller coaster of emotions, one minute I'm looking forward to it, it should be a good day.. But I keep getting really down moments because I'm so scared my birthday is going to be a disaster, and it's not me being nervous about typical birthday stresses, the run up to this birthday has been a nightmare, after me and my best friend longer being friends, plans had to be switched around, there's quite a lot of tension in my house at the minute and that's what's going to ruin my birthday.. I don't know if everyone is going to make a massive effort to push the tension aside to give me the day I really want or whether it's going to ju...

Blogmas Day 3: Christmas Coffees

Image
As I mentioned in my previous post, cafes and coffee shops this time of year are magical. They hold so much atmosphere that suits the festive period so well, and dressed up coffee shops with their glitter and festive colours just look pretty damn amazing. It's the big thing right now to do festive flavoured drinks at Christmas time, Starbucks being the favoured place to go alongside Costa and other coffee selling outlets. When I walk into a coffee shop I am overwhelmed with choices, coffees and hot chocolates added with extra flavourings associated with all things Christmas. It's a bit of an odd thing to do a post about, but it's Christmassy, and I'm absolutely obsessed with them -Christmas drinks that is. So I'm going to talk about it. I think a lot of it is in the mind. You have to believe you are drinking a Christmas drink. Because essentially it all tastes like coffee, with a bit of a twist to it. The Gingerbread Latte at Starbucks was probably the most fla...
