It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year....

Eeeeeeeeeep! Hello everybody, long time no see eh? My sincerest apologies for my absence (it's been almost a month- say whaaaat?). It's a pretty hectic time of the year, I've had exams and just general Christmas happenings...and to be honest, I just wasn't in that blogging mood. But not to fear as I'm back! I really feel like getting back into the swing of things and I'm feeling inspired so let's hope that means lots of great posts on the way.

My tree this year! 

This post is solely to talk about the greatest time of the year that is CHRISTMAS! Ornaments, trees, presents, glitter, lights and pure joy and happiness. Honestly, the mood and atmosphere that comes along with this season is my favourite part of the whole holiday. Gifts and decorations are great and lovely but really there is nothing like spending time with loved ones and wishing everybody and anybody a very Merry Christmas. 

I do have one gift guide up (with another one on the way) and I may post some more Christmas-themed posts cause I mean who doesn't love Christmas? I also really hope to hold a 250 followers giveaway soon to thank all you wonderful people for following little old me (as in following my blog not actually me!). So thank you all and hopefully I will be able to hold that giveaway very very soon.

Let me know all your Christmas plans, any gifts you've requested, any cool gifts you've bought for other people and what you're most excited about for this holiday season! I would honestly love to hear them.

Thank you all again for following this little slice of the web and for sticking with me when I haven't always been the best blogger in the world. Wishing you all the Merriest of Christmases and of course a very very Happy New Year! 

Being Happy For You!

Hello Lovelies,

I'll start by saying hello and thank you to all of you darlings who entered my MAC Giveaway. The giveaway is now closed and I would just like to welcome any new followers to my blog and to the ones that have been here for a while, I am and continue to be very grateful for your support. Any-who, on with the post!

Being happy is one of, if not the most, important things in life. It's such a very simple thing, and concept, yet something that is often swept aside. People talk about being fit, healthy, spending time with family etc. etc. but we forget about the simple core to all of this, being happy. I, of course believe being happy is a combination of many things but why don't people write more about being happy? I mean emotionally, mentally and physically happy. It seems far to much is based on appearance. 

The key to being happy, is remembering to be happy for you. Do what makes you happy. This of course has its limits, as we can't all become self-obsessed with our own need to be happy. Often being happy for yourself involves others, and helping and spending time with others. What I mean by being happy for you is by doing things you love, and making an effort not to care so much about what other people think. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, it's how we grow and learn. Channel your inner one-year-old self, you wouldn't be walking if you had been too afraid to stumble and fall. 

At the end of the day, who cares what other people think? Chances are, you'll spend a lot more time worrying about what they think than they will be thinking about you! So you know what, blast that Bieber music, dare to wear a bright red lippy to work and honestly (as mushy as this is) follow your dreams and your heart. It's your life, your happiness. This world belongs to you just as much as the next person.
