I'm thankful for...

My family. They have always been there for me and I've been through everything with them. They support me no matter what and I know they always will. No matter how much I argue, they still love me like I love them and I know I'm so lucky to have the family I do.

My friends. They cheer me up when I'm down they give me great advice and are always there when I need them. They make me laugh and that's what friends are for.

A home, nice clothes and food. I realise that I'm really lucky to have this because some people in other countries don't have things that we take for granted and I am thankful for it. :) ♥

Personal story

Not really sure what I'm supposed to be posting here but I'll just write a bit of a story about me.
So my name is Emily and I'm a 14 year old living in a little city near Birmingham. I'm starting my GCSEs when I go back to school which is a pretty scary thought and it only feels like a few months ago when I started secondary school, it goes so fast! I like shopping when I can go and meeting up with friends is the best! I like comedy and horror films, so White Chicks has to be one of my fave films.

Yeah... didn't know what to say so I just said a bit about me.

This post will be pretty short and simple because I've done a post like this before so I don't need to go into much detail :)

2) Minion Rush
3) Facebook
4) Instagram

My guilty pleasure

What isn't my guilty pleasure? I love anything that makes me happy to be honest and usually I am easily pleased. I like eating, reading, playing games, watching old Disney Channel shows( if they are on I will watch them), snapchatting and making people smile.

What are your guilty pleasures? Share with me, I'm interested to find out and to see if I'm a normal child or not :L

Mention another blogger

Heyitssaona.blogspot.co.uk

This is my friend Saona and just because she's my friend isn't the only reason I'm mentioning her. I love her posts, she is so creative and her blog is fun. I recommend this blog because it's just fabulous.

A day in my life

Hey guys, I'm sorry lots of my recent posts haven't included pictures. It's because I'm having to do it on my phone because I'm busy and I can't choose the order of the pictures on my phone, so I don't want to mess it all up. :)

This is what my lazy days consist of....:
First I wake up (like everyone does) and because it's the holidays I usually get up about 11am.
Then I'll get up and put the kettle on to make my mom and I a mug of coffee.
Next I'll make breakfast and watch tv while eating my breakfast and drinking my coffee.
After about an hour, I will go and have a shower which will last about 20 minutes because long showers are the best and I have no reason to be rushing.
Get out of the shower and get into my jogging bottoms and a comfy t-shirt with fluffy socks and put my hair in a messy bun.
I'd usually be snapchatting on my phone by now and texting, using kik and just scrolling through facebook.
I look on my laptop at different clothes shops such as Topshop and River Island and see the new stuff. I'll have a look at new things to be doing.
I'll watch tv a bit more while on my phone and probably have a bit of a sleep afterwards.
I'll have a little snack like a banana and some crisps, then go on the wii for fun or even the wii fit.
Having dinner will be next.
Watch night time tv.
A movie with my parents.
More snapchat.
Getting ready for bed
Brushing my teeth
SLEEP at about midnight.

Yeah.....pretty boring but hey ho. I wasn't gonna go into tons of detail but yeah, pretty much my lazy days :)

My blogging story

So basically I started my blog because I'd seen so many pretty blogs and I wanted to make one because I wanted mine to be pretty.I love blogging and it's great knowing some people are interested in what I have to say.

The item is the Topshop 'Sheer Lipstick in Lolly'. And it's only £8! You can tell the great quality of it and the colour is gorgeous! The reviews are great so I would also consider getting it!

What I was wearing today

I'm sorry it's not on me, it's because I only just looked at the challenge and I've already got changed into lounging around clothes. My top is a laced top from Miss Selfridge and was £10 reduced from £16; my jeggings are from River Island, which are navy blue and only £15 or 2 for £25; and my converse were from Schuh and they are American flag ones which were £55.

Must See Autumn Tv Show

I will say when it starts it will have to be Celebrity Big Brother. It looks like it's gonna be hilarious, because it's got people like Charlotte from Geordie Shore and it's gonna be amazing! I'm definitely going to b dedicating my nights to watching it!

What's for dinner?

Jacket potato with cheese and sour cream and lettuce, tomato and cucumber on the side. Not much to say but it's amazingly simple and quick and tastes yummy while having some of your 5 a day!

Favourite Read Of The Week

Definitely, my favourite read of the week is "I'd tell you I love you, but then I'd have to kill you". I couldn't put the book down! I read it while I was on holiday whilst sunbathing. It's so hooking because you want to know what Cammie (the main character) is going to do or say next. I highly recommend this book because it's full of action, however it is mainly for girls I would say. You'd love it, I guarantee.Tell me your favourite books, and I'll have a read of them!

Favourite Rainy Day Movie

HAIRSPRAY

Yes, Hairspray. It's one of my favourite movies anyway, but even better on a rainy day because it's very uplifting and something you can sing and dance along to. It just makes you forget about the rubbish weather and makes you smile. The best part is that there's almost 2 hours of Zac Efron! :)

New Year's Resolution Follow Up

As I posted before, I am doing the August blog challenge, and this is today's post. I'll do three of my New Year's resolutions and how I'm doing with them. :)

1) To be more sociable
This might sound a bit silly, but it was a resolution I was determined to do. Last year I was always on my phone and laptop and talking to people by Facebook or text instead of talking (which I know lots of people do) but I wanted to be different. I was cooped up in my room a lot when I should've been talking to family. 
I think I've done well with this, I've made an effort to meet up with friends more and I think I'm happier because of it. This means time with family has been happier too, which is great. So I think I can give this a big ✔.

    
2) Healthier eating
I have never been the person that loves fruit and veg, I mean I don't hate it but I'd prefer chocolate, fizzy drinks and crisps (like most people I think). So I made a resolution that I would eat as much of it as I could, because almost anything was an improvement to be honest, and if I couldn't manage 5 a day I haven't been too fussed. I've been taking an apple and an orange to school every day and for dinner I have vegetables with the rest of my meal and fruit juice (most days). So I think I can also give this a ✔

3) To be more organised
Anybody that knows me knows that I'm one of the worst organised people ever. I hate being dis-organised because everything is harder to do. If I'm trying to find something I can't remember where I put it. My homework is always done last minute and I forget it occasionally. Although I have slightly improved my organisation, it is still awful in my opinion, so unfortunately i have to give this a ✖

I hope you guys are doing well on your New Year's resolutions, and if you're not sure I think it's a great idea to check your progress so you can improve if needs be. :) thanks for reading guys.
