New Inspiration, New Year, New me

Hey there! 👋

Long time no type, sorry about that. It's literally been a year since then I've been committed to this blog. In that time a lot of things have happened and I'm sure you all have too.

To my surprise when I logged back on to see my blog, I HAD 3402 VIEWS. Like what!? THIS IS CRAZY. I'm so grateful to YOU for reading all of my randomness. If you were wondering my most popular post is, it's Very Funny "What Does the Fox Say" text which is at  939 views. 

This morning I felt really inspired to blog after reading Girl Online by Zoe Sugg. Partly because the book is about the main character blogging but also because I wanted to start doing something for me again.  So I came up with a list of things I want to blog about and I thought I'd share it with you!

-Girl Online I actually haven't finished the book yet but I definitely want to let you all in on my thoughts and I'd love to hear yours too!

-Braces I'm getting mine off January 6th!!

-Nails 

-Makeup

-Flash (My new dog)

-Friends similar to Girl Online just the concept of outgrowing them 

-1989 Taylor Swifts new album THAT I LOVE

-Grad Dress its similar to a prom dress. Maybe I'll do a whole grad series, or Dear future self

-My Boyfriend for all you past readers THE DAY ACTUALLY CAME WHEN I GOT A BOYFRIEND

-Being considered "Young" lately I've been told that i'm younger than I am which isn't necessarily the best thing to hear but it's an interesting concept to explore

So yea, here's my inspiration to blog about for the next little while. 

I would love to hear your input on any of the ideas, or even if you had some ideas!

Christmas Tag & My Pets with Christmas Tree Hats

Hey there! Merry Christmas! Or if you prefer Happy Holidays!!

I have royally sucked at blogging lately but no excuse just enjoy :)

I am using the questions from Tiffany Alvords video from Youtube and just adjusting them to fit my blog, I hope you guys don't mind.. :)

1) Use one emoji to describe how excited you are for Christmas 

😹

2) What's the best present you have ever given and why?

The best present I have ever given would probably be when I made a collage of all of the boys my friend like. Just seeing her reaction made me so happy and the stories behind the collage itself were hilarious.

3) Whats the best present you have ever been given and why? 

A onesie. I've always wanted one and when I finally got one last Chrismas I was sooooo happy. I actually still where if all of the time.

4) What is your favourite Christmas song?

Joy to the World is probably this years favourite. I fell Infront of my friends at church and apparently it was hilarious. That whole sing is just a giant inside joke to my friends and I.

5) What's your favourite Christmas film?

A Christmas Story. Surprisingly I haven't watched it yet. I will most likely be watching it tomorrow.

6) How do you wrap presents, paper or bags?

For Christmas 90% of the time I wrap terribly and use bags the other 10% for the complicated gifts.

7) If you could rename one of Santa's reindeer, what would you name it?

I'd probably name it Corella, I like myself a lot. Is that bad?

8) What's your favourite thing about Christmas?

I like having all my family together in the same place. We hardly ever all get along but it would be really strange if we did & I wouldn't have it any other way. Also being off of school is a plus.

Now onto pictures of my pets! I got two super cute tree hats for them from Target, $4.99 each.

This is what the hat looks all by itself.

This is Ella, I know she's blurry but she's crazy. This picture represents her quite well.

She wasn't too happy with the hat, I took it off right after. Don't worry haha

This is Kitty and she really did not like her tree hat.

Overall, I have learned that animals really don't like wearing hats and I won't be making them wear them again because they look so unhappy. But it's a little funny at the same time. I'm a terrible pet owner. 

Also if you did any Christmas Tags, I'd love to check them out!! 

Enjoy your holidays!

Rebecca Black's New Song Saturday featuring David Days

Hey there lovely! How's your Saturday going? (See what I did there) haha.

Today, (Saturday), the beautiful Rebecca Black debuted her new song Saturday. This song feautured the dashing, David Days.

Overall, I feel Saturday was a HUGE improvement from Friday. You could hear Rebecca's real voice, the lyrics were relevant, my long time favourite David Days was there and Rebecca just look gorgeous as well. 

If you have watched both videos already, you can tell that there is a big difference in the maturity of Rebecca's parties. I liked that Saturday's party was like an actual party. It was very relevant and realistic.

In my opinion, the only factor that Friday has on Saturday, is that Friday is catchier. (Or maybe I just listen to Friday way too often) I can easily sing along to Friday but it's going to take a bit more work to learn the words to Saturday. But I gladly will because so that I have a song to sing every Saturday.

MY FAVOURITE MOMENTS FROM SATURDAY

The "gotta have my bowl" bowl, definatly gave me a good laugh because it referenced Friday. (Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal...)

When Rebecca was trying to get Friday out of her head because that's how I felt whe I work up (I had a hot chocolate at 11pm and then stayed up to 3am because I had so much energy. I got no sleep. I didn't actually do anything bad) 

"SO EXCITED" was another reference to Friday which I very much enjoyed. (We, we, we so excited...)

I just thought that this looked fun. *hint* Someone punch me on a skateboard *hint*

I really enjoyed the scenery in this shot. The water looked so cool. They boys the great too. It all look great.

"Yesterday was Friday, today it is Saturday" is basically one of my favourite lines from the song. And her face while she was sing it made me really happy. 

I thought the ending was perfect. He crashed the party and adjusted the rap from Friday to Saturday and it was Hilarious. 

If you haven't watched Saturday yet. I highly suggest you do. It will be a very good time.

It is almost at 1 million views ALREADY! Go Rebecca and Dave!

How to get the "Miranda Sings" Look

Hey there lovely, how have you been?

Beautiful, I hope. I've been super busy lately, resulting in this blog to be long over due.

When I was handing out candy on this past Halloween, I figured I need a simple, yet committed costume to do so in. Then a brilliant idea came to me saying, "Why don't I dress up as my idol, Miranda Sings?"

For any of you who don't know who Miranda Sings is, she is a HILARIOUS comedian on youtube. I HIGHLY suggest you go look her up.

This is a very simple to do look but it requires a high level of dedication and commitment to really make the inner Miranda in you shine through.

Step 1: Begin with a fresh face. Smear any remaining eye makeup below your eyes.

Step 2: Pin any hair near your face back, in order to enlarge and fully show of your forehead.

Step 3: Decide whether your hair is curly enough to keep forward or to pull back if lacking volume. I chose to pull my hair back because I felt it wasn't as curly as it should be.

Step 4: Apply lipstick. Apply fully on lips and then apply generously above lips to give a fuller look

Now you have the Miranda Sings look!

 If you are wondering more about the outfit, I wore this button down, checkered shirt. I made sure it wasn't revealing because Miranda wouldn't approve. Although you cannot see, I paired it with a pair of red sweatpants to really compliment the lipstick and provide an element of comfort as well.

If you have any questions at all about how I achieved the Miranda Sings look, feel free to ask away in the comments section! 

I would love to see your Miranda Sings look too!

& Let me know what you want to see next!

One year ago from today..

Hey there!

One year ago from today..

Well it wasn't one of my best days. It was probably one of the saddest I have experienced so far. My best friend, my birthday buddy but mainly known as my dog, died. 

I remember that day filled sadness, confusion, tears and just more sadness. I was just so confused how I was going to go on without my best friend. 

My best friend's name was Eddie. He was fourteen, which means he was pretty old but he was still going hard until the end. I was fifteen back then so we were very close in age, exactly one year apart. I basically grew up with him my entire childhood and he was always known my dog. He was my parter in crime, my bedtime buddy, my leftover eater and most importantly mine. 

It's hard to explain to someone who hasn't lost their pet before how you feel. Like a part of you is gone, you just feel empty.

Like a week after Eddie was gone, I got asked to apply to a program called Shad Valley. I basically just ended up applying because I wanted something to do to spend my time on besides being sad. 

I will have a more in depth post about Shad Valley very soon!

I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes bad things have to happen in order for amazing things to occur. It's hard to believe, but things always get better. It may take time but it always does.

Applying to Shad Valley was probably the best thing to ever happen to me. I applied thinking I'd never get in but somehow I did. (Which was a real confidence booster) The best wasn't just the fact I got accepted but it was experiencing it. Attending Shad Valley was the most incredible thing I have ever experienced. I met 55 other students who are insanely talented and passionate. These students will change the world but they started by changing me.

It's so weird to think that this incredible thing happened because I was sad and just didn't know what to do. 

Thanks Eddie, you were my best friend but now I have 55 more thanks to you.

Rest in peace, baby.
