Summer Essentials | Blondie Blog ♥

Firstly, I have been very inactive over the past two weeks, because I have been away and I haven't had any wifi. I got back at nine last night so I am writing a post as soon as possible!

This is going to be a post about my top five essentials in the summer. They will be in five categories; music, makeup, fashion, food and things to do. So lets get on with it!!!

1) Music

I recently I was on YouTube and in my suggestions box was this song called Girls Like Girls and I don't know why but I was drawn to it. I think that the song is just so beautiful. It just really is a beautiful song so you should definitely go and listen to it.


2) Makeup

In the summer you really don't want to have tonnes of makeup caked on to your face. I like to go simple but I think lashes can really do a lot for the whole look. The other day at a sleepover my friend let me use her lash sensational mascara and it was amazing. It made my eyelashes pop and I think that it can really make they colour of your eyes stand out.

3) Fashion

In the summer, one of my must haves is definitley a kimono. I just think it gives a nice summery feel to it. I also think it captures the mode everyone is in. If you pair it with some high waisted shorts and a crop top it looks so pretty.

4) Food

I think in the summer you really need something refreshing and cold to eat. So I like to snack on frozen berries. Don't ask me why!!!
5) Things To Do

In my city they recently opened up a trampoline park and if you have anything like that nearby I really recommend you go to one!

So that is it for todays blog! I hope you enjoyed!

Easy Milkmaid Braid | Blondie Blog ♥

Hi guys! Are any of you faced with the problem of short hair! I know i am! You go onto YouTube and you see all of these amazing hairstyles, but the only problem is, is that they are designed for long hair. This look is perfect for those of you that just don't have long enough hair to reach the whole way round your head. Today, I was experimenting with hair and I managed to get my hair into a pretty good milkmaid braid! "But how?" you ask, well this blog is to let you know!


Sorry about the blur, but my hand didn't do a good job of covering up my face!!


So the first thing you are going to want to do is split your hair into a straight centre parting. This is because if you don't the plaits won't look even.

Once you have done that braid your hair down as far as it can go in a normal plait on both sides. Try to leave as little space at the bottom as possible.

Then you will need to bring both plaits up into the centre of your head (like in the picture above) and tie the two plaits together with a hairband.

Once that is secure you can undo the other two that were in when the plaits were seperate.

You are nearly done, but all you have to do is tuck it under and booby pin the stray hairs at the back. I got so many compliments today because of it, so I am sure you will too.


Thanks so much for reading!!

My Skincare Routine | Blondie Blog ♥

Hi guys! Firstly I want to say how sorry I am that I didn't post last weekend, I just didn't realise how busy my weekend would be and I didn't have any time at all. So this week, as you can obviously see by the title is actually going to be my skin care routine. I have recently had an outbreak so I wanted some new things and I kind of updated it a little.

So the first thing I do is get my botanics face wash, because it just cleanses my face and removes any dirt or makeup from my face. This is really light and leaves my skin feeling fresh. I actually prefer something that can be rubbed in. I previously used simple, but I don't like the way it feels on my skin whilst washing, so this is just as good I find. This doesn't have any scrub in it, so to get my pores all gone I actually use something else as well.

I use the vitamin E face scrub from superdrug. I actually picked this out because I really wanted something without micro beads. If you don't know, micro beads don't get filtered out of the water that goes out into rivers and things like that, and because they are plastic they don't decompose. So I was really happy when I found this, because it had oatmeal in it, and it is so good. I rub it into my t-zone and my breakout has seriously gotten so much better!


Then just to finish things up I use my botanics moisturizer.   

Thanks for reading!

My Two Favourite Lip Products | Blondie Blog ♥

Hey guys! Today I am going to be telling y'all about my three fave lip products. Whether i am on holiday or at home, I always need something on my lips because I get so aware of them when they are chapped. A lot of the time I have a small makeup bag at school, just so I can touch up on anything I want at lunch or break. So these things need to be quite small and suitable for school wear.

1) Blushing Coral ~ Clinique

I don't think that they do it anymore because my mum found it recently and gave it to me. At first I was a bit skeptical but as soon as I tried it on I loved it. It is a dark pinky brown colour, but when you put it on your lips it just adds some glitter and a hint of colour. This is so gorgeous I cannot even tell you. I NEED IT BACK ON THEIR WEBSITE!!! Seriously though, if you can somehow get your hands on it then I defo recommend you do!

2) Burt's Bees Chapstick

This is so good at moisturising your lips because it is so fresh. When you apply it, it leaves a minty tang on your lips that makes them feel really cold, but it is so good. After a while your lips become so soft it is un real. Also I highly recommend this because of how natural the company is. They are a good company if you want something kind to nature.

What are your favourite lips products?

TESTS! | Blondie Blog ♥

Hi guys! Is anyone else kind of freaked out about all of the tests that they are getting? Because my teachers make sure to tell me how important this is to do with my future. Like WTF? Why the hell do I want to think that a maths test at the end of this year is going to decide whether I get to have a good job or not. Sometimes I just don't want to study and sometimes I don't give a damn about maths tests!


This is what went through my head this weekend;



"I could just try my hardest and not revise at all?"






"Yeah"





Sorry about my little rant but, wanted to get it off my chest so...   Are there any tests that you are worried or not worried at all about??

Why, thank you for reading!

My Three Favourite Youtubers | Blondie Blog ♥

HI guys! Today I am going to talk about my three favourite YouTubers because I am always interested in who people like to watch so i thought that you might be too! I really like finding new YouTubers, and I must say, it is one of my hobbies... So, here you might find some new ones to love. I will be leaving all their links in here so you can go and check them out!

The first one is Hannah Maggs . Half  of you probably already know her but I think her youtube is amazing! Her channel is based around weekly vlogging, and she records with her husband Stef. Her vlogs are super relatable, and they have a really adorable child called Grayson. The amount of effort that they put into their vlogs is unreal, and the result is so stunning!

Another Youtuber I just found recently has been Glam and Gore, she does FX make up and the results that she ends up with are unreal! E.G
So if you are interested in any make up tutorials that are wicked and that then turn into gory tutorials, then you will love her channel!

My third person is a girl called Quisha Rosetta and, lets be honest, her YouTube is goals. It is a beauty / fashion / lifestyle type of thing and everything is literally perfect!

Thank you sosososossososo much for reading!

My After School Routine | Blondie Blog ♥

Hi guys! This week I am going to talk to you about my after school routine, which I haven't really seen much of. This is going to be as real as possible, and I literally did this on Friday, so this isn't some perfect life.

So the first thing I did when I got home was to have a shower, because if you live anywhere in Norfolk, you will know that last Friday it was boiling! Unfortunately for me, I couldn't enjoy it because my school uniform is really dark. I just used the Body Shop peach body wash. This smells really nice and is light and bubbly. The only problem with this is that it cuts my thumb every time I try and open it, but luckily for me, I didn't get blood all over the shower this time.

So after I had my shower I decided to do my homework because I am a Good Girl ;)

Then I spent around two hours... or a bit more on my computer. I can't help it if I have so many videos to watch! I was also scrolling through Instagram, looking at my Tumblr feed and doing some random crap.

After that my mum called me down for dinner, so I went and ate that with her and my bro.

Then I did my piano practice and rehearsed my lines for a show I am in.

Thanks for reading about my "After School Routine"

♥ Half Term! ♥

Hi Guys!!  Today I just want to talk to you about how quickly this has gone! It has been over 110 days since I started this blog and it's amazing how far I have come. On my second month I got 66 views, and now I have 200 odd views per month! It is amazing how far I have come!

It is so close to summer now and I can tell you now that I am so freaking excited! So excited in fact, that I have decided to make a whole list of things that will make my summer better! Next week this blog post will be up and it will be called something along the lines of ' How to Make Your Summer Amazing'. I spent so much time watching vlogs, reading through articles and actually thinking of things that will make your summer brill. And the cool thing is, is that you can do it for next to no money and it is really fun to do. Well all of them are.

I sort of wanted this blog to be fairly chatty, because that is how I originally started my blog, as if it were my best friend.To be honest guys, you lot are probably my best friends because you read this random crap that I put on the internet and that makes me so happy!

I remember the first time that someone commented on my blog and I freaked out so much! None of my friends knew because I hadn't told them and my mum and dad don't know. There is only one person in world who knows and I ♥ her!


Thank you for listening or reading to me babble on! I love you guys sosososososososo much!

DIY Gift Idea ~ Present In A Jar

Hi guys! The other day it was my friends birthday, and I wanted to put more thought into it, instead of just getting her some money or a plain gift. So in this blog post I will be showing you how to make a thoughtful and tumblr inspired gift.  Just to let you know these photos aren't my own as I have nothing to take them on. Also, I only put these things in because they are what my friend likes, but if you want to add your own style then definitely make sure you do. I hope you enjoy!

What You Need:

1) A Jar (I decided to use one with a straw because she wanted one)






2) A Bath Bomb
3) Some nail polishes

4) Nail foil


Once you have everything you want then just shove it in. But the thing about this present is that you have to find out what they want, and put thought into finding the stuff they like. So if they were really into vintage things you could get them an old necklace. Or if they liked make-up, get them a lip gloss.


Thanks for reading!

Rimmel London - 60 Second Dry Nail Polish Review

Hi guys! Today I am going to be talking about the Rita Ora 60 second nail polish by Rimmel London. I am such an impatient person and I can't stand waiting 10 minutes for my nails to dry, so I am so excited to tell you all about it. You probably understand my pain of thinking your nails are dry and then messing them up the next minute, so this is definitely something worth looking into to see whether it is actually worth it.


Design

This product is really pretty to look at and I love the packaging, With nail polishes I think it is really hard to go wrong, but this caught my eye in the shop. With the flowers at the top, it adds a little decorative detail, and I love the fact that the center of the flower co-ordinates with the actual colour of the polish. All of it's colours are so pretty, and the shades are very spring like. When you screw off the lid, you can see that the applicator (very precise word) is very wide. I find that much easier, because I can do it in one sweep!

How I use It

I just apply one coat, let it dry then apply the next coat. I prefer doing this one hand at a time, because now I have more time it is easier to be precise.

Results

The results aren't as good as it says. I would actually say that it takes around 3 mins to dry, but for me that is still amazing. It wouldn't look as good with one coat so I do feel like two coats work better.It is such a glossy finish, and if you are anything like me then this is a must have!

April Faves

Hi guys! Today I am going to be writing about the things that I have really enjoyed in April! I hope you like it, and if you do leave me a comment :)  Don't forget to follow me on all my social media accounts, so you can keep up to date with all the things that are happening right now!  

Makeup

EOS - Strawberry Sorbet

I love EOS lip balms. They are so gorgeous and this one smells so good. I have only just got mine, but I have already used it so much. They are quite on the pricey side, but it is definitely worth it. EOS are so good, they are so hydrating and look really cool.

Hair

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Of course I had to put this in here! If you would like my full opinion on this then make sure you check out my last blog post!

Movie

The DUFF

This is a hilarious film about a Designated Ugly Fat Friend and how she gets over her name tag.If you want to laugh and have a great time then defo go and check this out at the cinema! It is all about having crushes and not being popular, so it is a very relatable film.

Blog

The other day I stumbled onto the blog of Hello October, and I can honestly say her writing and pictures transfix me! She is gorgeous and you should go and give some of her posts a read if you haven't already!

Thank you for reading!!!!

10 Things to Make You Happy

Hi guys! Today I was thinking about what I could post and this came to mind. Sometimes we have those days when we just feel down, so these are ten things that might make you feel better.

1) Do your homework. I know it sounds stupid, but once you get that off your mind, and you aren't thinking about when you are going to fit it or when you need to do it by, then you will feel like you can do anything.

2) Have a friendly conversation with someone. When you are feeling sad, maybe all you need is someone to comfort you.

3) Pamper yourself! Even if you only have ten minutes, taking that time out of your day to give yourself a little me time will really effect your mood positively. Even if you just do your hair or give yourself a facial, you will start to feel better straight away.

4) Eat something. Whenever I am not feeling my best, I get myself my fave snack and just indulge in it.

5) Go out with friends or on your own. Have a browse around some shops, try on outfits and just mess around a bit.

6) Bake cookies. Today after I finished my French homework, I decided that something to make me even happier would be to indulge in some baking. I was already drunk on cookie dough before I put them in the oven!

7) Watch Youtube/tv/Netflix. Just watch one of your favourite shows or youtubers and it will just make you feel 100% again.

8) Try and discover a new youtuber. I love it when this happens to me. I am just scrolling through suggested videos and then this person pops up and they just happen to be fantabulous.

9) Sing high school musical. Me and my friends do this over oovoo and it is the most hilarious thing in the world. Another one of our favourite musicals is grease!


  • 10) Go outside. The outdoors can really effect how you feel, and chances are, you just are feeling a little stuffy from sitting at your computer all day!

Batiste ~ Light and Blonde Review

Hi guys! In this bog post I am going to be reviewing the Batiste Hint of Colour - Light and Blonde dry shampoo. I bought it when I was out on a shopping trip with my friend. We both wanted to see what this whole thing about dry shampoo really was, and if it even really worked!






Design

The first thing I am going to talk about is the packaging. What pops into my mind when I look at it is how big it is. This will obviously last along time (seeing as I wash my hair every two or so days) and I will only really use it when I want to add texture, volume or work on my roots. It is silver with golden and yellow swirls on the bottom of the can, and it is a really pretty design.

How I Use It

What I do when I use it is just to shake it a little. *Insert Taylor Swift song here* Then I hold it about half an arms distance away from my head and spray into my roots. After it has settled I like to massage it in with my fingers and then brush through with my tangle teezer. It works almost immediately  and the results are amazing.

Results

When I originally tried this out I was so impressed with the results. Because this is one specifically for blonde hair, when I sprayed it into my naturally darker roots, it added a hint of colour. I think this just makes your hair look so much more healthy and it also makes it easier to control. If you can find one that matches your hair colour then it will be your favourite beauty product ~ I ASSURE YOU!! This would go well if you wanted a messy bun, voluminous ponytail or just BIG hair in general!

Thanks for reading!  I love you and keep smiling!

Things I Want To Have Done In Ten Years Time

Hi guys! The other day I was watching Alfie's new video (pointless blog) and he asked us a question. He said "where do you see yourself in ten years?" I was thinking I could do that as a blog post, but then I thought, how do I know if that will always be where I want to be in ten years. It seems ages away, and the thought of planning it out, or even guessing what it's going to be like is unreal. So instead, I decided to do a checklist for what I want to have achieved in the next 10 years.

1) Have people that enjoy blog and feel like it helps them. This would make me so happy, the thought that it might someones day brighten is unreal.

2) Perform my own songs. Ever since I was 9 I have been writing songs, and I have been singing. It is what I want to do, and I know lots of people have this as their dream, but it would make me the happiest person on earth if I could do this.

3) Go to New York. I live in the UK, in the East of England. I want to go to New York so badly. I love where I live, but sometimes I see the photos and pictures and I hear the songs and it feels like I belong there. I have fallen in love with it from far away. Luckily, I forced my mum to promise to take me, and we are saving up for the NY fund. It is my dream to go there and if I could...

4) I want to get an A* in a subject. To have achieved something like that would be epic.

5) Get to a good university. I have wanted to go to Oxbridge since I was little, and I am going to work hard for it. ( If you don't know, Oxbridge is Oxford and Cambridge, two of the best universities in the UK.)

6) Make friends through blogging. I have already met Puddleduck, who is a new blogger like me, and I want to make loads more. To be able to say ' Oh, yeah my friend in America' or ' I was talking to my friend from Australia' would be amazing. I would become more confident and become someone who feels like they have somewhere. A small community of close friends.

7) Go on a road trip. Have you ever seen those films where the parents are like 'Guess what kids? We're going on a ROADTRIP!!!!!!' and the kids just go awww. Nope, I would be jumping in the car ready to go. Driving across a country excites me. Imagine doing it in America. The changes would be massive, going from somewhere really hot like Texas, then to drive up to North Dakota, that is my dream. How sad am I???

8) Be happy.

Green Favourites

Hi, guys! This is a new series that I have invented, that I think is really cool! (I hope...) What it is based around, is the colour of the product, and as you can see by the title this month is green! So what I will do is show you some of my favourite green things! ( This is really hard to find colours for!)

1) Mike Wazowski
He is the cutest monster ever! I was watching Monsters University for homework, YESSS!!! And I saw him and just fell in love with him! He is so cute (especially when he is a child) and Sully's relationship with him is adorable. So yeah... Mike Wazowski!

2) My Simple Stuff!
Simple is my new favouite thing. I have their face wash and moisturiser, and they are amazing. You only need to apply a small amount to your finger tips and rub it into your face. My skin has been a lot better recently thanks to simple! I need help though! At the moment I have a really itchy patch between my eyebrows. The skin is kind of uneven and it has turned a reddish shade. I try to apply moisturiser to it but it doesn't help! It has been on my forehead for about a week, and I don't want to wear makeup to cover it up because that isn't really me. Any ideas???????? PLEASE! HELP! ME! :(

                             














3) Apple Chap stick
I am a lip balm person. I cannot survive with chapped lips so in the winter this is a necessity for me. I carry it around with me, and as it is so small i can just slip it into my pocket. The flavour of the chap stick  is of a sweet apple and it tastes delicious! Don't tell me you haven't eaten your lip balm before... Please don't say I am the only one who licks it off... Just a tiny bit...

Thank you guys so much for reading! If you like what you see, why don't you go ahead and follow me on bloglovin'?? Also make sure you check out my links below!

Clumsy

I can't believe I am doing this, but here goes. I am going to blog about my most embarrassing experience. DON'T JUDGE ME!!! I am clumsy :( and that is a fact. One time i was holding a balloon, and managed to let go of it around five times in the same minute until my auntie gave it to my cousin to look after...

The story starts...

I was walking along the field on my first day of high school, going to assembly. It had rained that day and the floor was quite slippy. I was going fairly quickly because I  didn't want to be late, knowing me that isn't likely.

The assembly I was going to is in our schools auditorium and it is a popular place to hang out before and after school. So I was just minding my own business, hoping that I would make new friends and get on with everyone. And, I wasn't looking where I was going.

I walked straight into a muddy puddle. Now, you may be thinking, so what. You got your shoes wet. Well, I can tell you now, that was not the case. There were about thirty kids outside the auditorium and they were all looking at me when it happened.

I walked into the puddle, and my foot slipped up. It was like one of those things on cartoons or comedies. It was like someone had put that banana peel underneath my foot. I slipped backwards, exposing my knickers to what felt like the entire school, and the crowd started laughing almost immediately. I had a whole stripe of mud down my back and I had no friends to comfort me. (This is the part you go awww)

Have you ever done this??

Hope you enjoyed reading this, don't forget to follow me so you know when I post!

February Favourites

Hi guys! This is not my usual type of post, as this is a beauty guru sort of thing, but I decided I wanted to give it a go. So, this week I am going to be showing you what my favourite things in February were. Let me know if you like this and whether you think I should do another. Some of these things weren't purchased or found in February, but I have only just started loving them and I wanted them to be included. If you liked reading this don't forget to +1 this post!

Beauty and Skin Care

1) Baby Lips ~ Maybelline
I don't wear much makeup, occasionally  I pop on some eye shadow and lip balm. I don't want to go to school with a bright pink lip stick on and my face caked with foundation or anything, so if I do anything I just wear a tinted lip balm. However, I had recently run out of my L'Occitane lip balm and wanted to find a new one.

 I was out with my friend and we were walking past Superdrug, (a shop I hadn't been in a lot) and I wanted to have a look inside. I found these on a shelf near the front and thought they were just what I needed. I have bought Strike a rose, a pink shade and Oh! Orange, as you can probably tell orange!!! (That was me being weird and funny) haha... Anyway! I think these are perfect for someone who has just been introduced to makeup, or who doesn't wear it a lot, because it just adds a pop of colour to your lips.


Strike a rose
Oh! Orange


2) Botanics Moisturiser ~ Boots
I only got this yesterday, so I can't say much except that from what I have experienced it is amazing. My skin feels so soft after I have put it on. It smells really flowery and pretty, it is quite cheap. By the way, I am only recommending affordable things, and this is all in my opinion! As you read earlier, I am a novice at makeup. Anyway, back to the product. It has a really pretty colour, is in a cute dinky pot and has SPF 15. So it is all good!


3) Unicorn Horn ~Lush

Oh my freaking god! Firstly this is a gorgeous product, secondly UNICORNS!! Thirdly it smells amazing. I like to break a bit off under the tap and then pop in some of Zoe's fizz bars. It is the perfect mixture. Everything from Lush is natural and handmade and smells amazing. You just need to have one of these.



Books n Stuff

4) Geek Girl All That Glitters ~ Holly Smale
I have only just started this but as far as I can tell it will be as good as the rest. I love the cover design, I mean glittery glasses!!! (I NEED them!) This is in a series called, as you can probably tell, Geek Girl. BTW, I am getting my book signed tomorrow, which means biking into the city as fast as I can and then waiting outside for around 2 hours! If I am prepared to wait that long, it must be good.


5) Skinny Love ~ Birdy
Can we just have a minute to appreciate how gorgeous this song is!! If you haven't heard it then check it out at the end along with Take me to Church and Clean. Clean may be available on ITunes however, it is in 1989 if you can't buy it on its own (it's by TSwizzle).

Thanks for reading!!

Splitting Up

Hi guys! It's Blondie, today I am going to be talking about breaking up.

Recently, my dad and his girlfriend split up, and I felt really upset. I haven't been in a proper relationship myself but when he told me about it, I was devastated.

When I was very little my mum and dad split up, and I was quite excited. I meant a new house, a new bedroom and two places to call my own. I didn't really realise that it would mean they weren't going to be as close as before. Luckily for me, they are still friends so they don't argue every time they see each other. However, now that I am older, it makes me feel really sad that this person, who was quite a big part in my life, will be gone.

She was a lovely woman, who was caring and funny and whenever she came round she would be really nice to me. I formed a friendship with her, and to think that it will be gone is sad. Sad is a word I am told never to use, but to me, it describes my feeling perfectly.

Have you guys ever felt something like this??

A+B=Cat

Hi guys! I am Blondie Blog :)

This post is about my sometimes social awkwardness... Oops!

As you have all probably experienced ( unless you are some social god) I recently could not find a conversation starter. This is a very traumatic experience, because i am a very talkative person, i don't know about you.

Anyway, I was biking to school one day, and I had just left my house. I like to talk to the person i bike with, because I have known him for ages and he is a nice guy. I decided to set off and was biking away, when i realised i had nothing to say.

I was racking my brains for something to say, and all i got was 'NOTHING'.

So, me, being the freak i am, decided to say the first thing that popped into my head. Hoping to make him laugh or for me to say that i was such a weirdo, i practically shouted my conversation starter.

Are you ready???

"A+B= CAT"

I mean come, seriously???? Why am I such a freak??

So, I said this, looked round expecting to see his freaked out face, and he wasn't there. He was about 50 metres behind me. So he hadn't heard anything i had just said. I turned around and saw a man walking right next to me, who I hadn't seen, and he looked at me like I was some lunatic.

So, i think that i should go and lock my self up in some place for the weird, socially forgetful and socially awkward people.

Detemination

When i was little i always used to suck my two fingers on my left hand; my index and middle. They were a comfort to me and i would suck them to go to sleep at night and whenever i felt sad. Gradually as I sucked them my nails became wider and my fingers got bumps on them where i sucked. My teeth were starting to stick out as well.


I hated this. I am not the vainest person but I didn't want anything ugly on my body that I had caused.  One day walking to school, I looked down at my fingers and thought 'you know what? I am going to quit'. My fingers were my comfort and I would suck them whenever I could so this was a massively difficult thing to do.


It was amazing how much determination i had as a little kid. I wouldn't get to sleep properly without them and yet i would carry on. There are so many things that I want to do and I just don't have the determination to do. I feel like I have kind of let myself down. So this year as one of my new/late years resolutions, I am going to be more determined to do things that i want.

I think it is important to believe in yourself because if not you van't get anywhere in life!


My New/Late Years Resolutions

1) To be more determined to do things

2) To practise my instruments more and work on my voice

3) To get to bed earlier!

What are your new/late years resolutions?

Not many friends...

The reason I don't have many friends at the moment is because after the winter break my class got split up and i was placed with whole new people. I had my friends from my old class by i felt that the people that they had started hanging out with were lame. I don't know, they just seemed to try too hard to be popular and cool and we had nothing in common. They are some of the most popular girls in my school and they just act like nothing is a big deal. I want someone that cares a bit more, you know? They are just not my type of people!  


So i started hanging out with this person i knew, but it just doesn't feel like we have much in common. I just feel a bit stuck right now. I have the option of hanging out with someone i don't have a good background with. She can be manipulative but she can make you feel like the most loved person in the world and i just don't want to be sucked into that vortex again!So i am really stuck with what to do right now! 



Has anyone else had a friend like this?

Thanks for reading!

HI

Hello! Welcome to my blog. Here you can find out about me and what i love! I am going to be anonymous because then I can say what I want without being judged. On this blog i am going to be acting as if this page is my closest friend, because then i can have somewhere to let my feelings out. I am quite lonely because I don't really have anyone to talk to at the moment because I don't have a close friend at school (I have just moved up). I want someone to know what i think and that person is going to be you. So welcome to my little corner of the internet! 

Some things you should know about me: 
1. I adore Taylor Swift
