Little Things

Hey guys,

One of my friends Charlotte has an amazing blog which I always enjoy reading that you should defiantly take a look at! I have left a link so just click on her name. It has so many lovely beauty posts and lush reviews that have persuaded to go to Lush and indulge in another bath bomb! Recently she posted a couple of posts saying the things she loves. I loved reading that post because it was filled with little things that we sometimes miss but when I think about I really love! So this inspired me to think about all the little things which I love and that make my day that little bit brighter!

1) Tea - I am another Brit who just loves tea! I think tea is magic; whatever life throws at us, we have a tea! You're cold? Have a tea. You're sad? Have a tea. You're ill? Have a tea. But the thing is most of the time it does make things better! Maybe it really is magical...

2) Cats - I am definitely a cat person and while I don't hate dogs, cats will always be my favourite. I have two cats (named Beebo and Hector!) which we got what I was 8 years old and they just make me happier!

3) A warm fire - Sitting by a fire (with my cup of tea of course ;) is just very relaxing. It's quite mesmerising watching all the all the bright flames almost dance around the logs, especially in Winter.

4) Disney Movies - If I'm in a bad mood then the one thing that is sure to cheer me up is a Disney movie. I don't care if it's a classic like Cinderella or something new like Tangled they're all timeless to me! My favourites though are Tangled, Hercules, Mulan and Aladdin.

5) Photography - One of my favourite things too do is too take photos and it has to be one of the best things about blogging! Especially of Nature and things like Mountains which make me feel so small!

6) Church - My Church is full of wonderful, life long friends who are as close as family. There is a real community of love in my Church and I always feel grateful for the encouragement they give me.

7) Laughter - I love a good joke and if someone is crying with laughter it's probably me! But as well as being made laugh, someone laughing at something I've said just makes me happier.

8) Inside Jokes - I love it when someone says something normal too everyone else except one other person and me because of the memories behind them!

Always loved reading!

9) Reading - As much as I love binge watching Netflix and watching Disney I love a good book! Ever since I was little I have loved reading, getting engrossed in a story line and characters, not stopping reading until I've finished! I love the sound of pages of a book being turned too, I'm not sure why, maybe it's because it's a very familiar sound!

10) Aeroplanes - If someone asks what super power I would have if I could I will always say flight and flying in an aeroplane is the closest thing I think I will ever get to that! It also is a great place to take photos whatever the time of day or weather because everything looks amazing!

I have decided to leave it there for now because otherwise this post will be very lengthy! I hope this blog post has made you think about the things you are grateful for, that make you a little bit brighter that you don't always notice. Thank you for reading and enjoy your week,

Abi

Inspirational Mood...

Hello guys,

So on Friday night me and Emily had a sleepover (planing something special for you guys!) and when we where in our beds, well I was in my bed - Emily was on an air bed :), I asked her what she would do if she could do anything at all with her life. We both gave quite long and detailed answers, thinking about further education, jobs, family, retirement, etc! I started to realise that the things I was saying that I would love to do but where unlikely, I actually could achieve if I worked at it. 

The message I wanted to share was that it's your life, you can be whatever you want to be, no matter what other people say too you/ about you. You may have things you don't like about yourself, I do too and so does everybody else - you just have to focus on the things that are good about you. That can be a challenge to a lot of people - me included. Everybody has a skill or a talent - it can be anything from maths to nail art. If someone says you can't do something, prove them wrong by going out and doing it. Marilyn Monroe said "Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring!" (As you might be able to tell I like a Marilyn Monroe quote!). I like the last bit the most because to me it fits in with the go all out, be ridiculous, take risks and be you message I've shared. It's better to try but fail and be a bit embarrassed, then regret the opportunities you didn't take because you didn't think you could do it.

I really hope that you enjoy this type of blog and that it has inspired you too do what you want and too focus on what's good about yourself, not the things that you don't like or wan to change. Please let me know what you thought in the comment section

Have an amazing week,

Abi

Keep Smiling!

Hello Guys,
Today's blog post is just a quick one but it is something positive to think of over the week ahead. I haven't had lots of time this week but this is something I thought would be good to share. It was quoted by Marilyn Monroe who, for those of you who don't know, was an American model, actor and singer in the 1950's. This is my favourite quote because it is very positive and it always inspires me to think outside the moment and reminds me how lucky I am to have the life that I live.

Just a quick post but I hope you keep this in your minds, even when life doesn't seem so beautiful! Have a great week!

Abi
