D.I.Y Photoline

Recently, I've attempted to take more photos.  In saying that, I've also printed more photos which I had absolutely no where to show them off.  Yeah a photo album would be normal but then you have to physically get it out to show people.  Whereas I prefer to display my photos for people to see rather than stowing them away.  The photo line, as pictured above, was so simple to make and all you'll need is:

- String

- Blue tack

- Tiny pegs

- Photos

Now all you need to do is choose a wall, blue tack both ends of the string to the wall (I've placed my line in between my windows so I could hide the ends within the window frame.)  You then place all your images on the line, keeping in mind the photos are quite heavy so you may need to adjust the string after you've placed all your pictures on there.  You can also leave as little or as much space between each image as you like and that's it! A very cute and simple way to spice up your room as well as showing off your images.

20 FACTS TAG

1. You were probably wondering why the random pictures are at the top of this post! Well, I have currently just attended a formal that was not mine and it was super fun- even if I was asked with only 3 days until the actual formal, but that's okay.  I wore a short strapless bowtie dress from PORTMANS, nude wedge heels from DEXTER and my bracelet bunch was from DIVA.  I had so much fun I think my own formal will be a let down.  
2. I am so damn excited to go to America in a month.  Mom even changed the whole trip so it's less national parks and more city stuff so I am stoked to vlog/ blog each day to show you my experiences.  
3. Earlier this year one of my photographs was published in a book that advertises the beauty of my town.  
4. I'm currently on holidays right now and have procrastinated for four days because I have 6 assignments to get done before the start of term four. 
5. I have been seeking for a job for the past four months and no one in town has contacted me back except a math tutoring place which I can't start at until next term.  Problem is, I am away for the majority of next term which causes a major problem.  Hopefully I'll have a summer job and get all that cash rolling in.  
6. I need more acceptable casual clothes in my wardrobe as I've come to reaslise it's not socially acceptable to wear my fandom shirts ALL THE TIME.  So yay for my trip coming up soon so I can purchase super cheap clothes that no one in my town has!
7. In America I'm going to buy a pair of Doc Martins and Nike Air Force 1's which I am exceptionally excited for.  
8. For the past week I have had the urge to watch a tone of Disney Princess Movies, I gave in and watched two already- oops! I've been told we're having another movie night and it's Disney themed so naughty me!
9. Ashi Ross is my dance inspiration as well as my abspiration and I promise you I WILL HAVE TONED ABS BY NEXT YEAR!!!
10. I am so socially incapable of doing things.  In saying that, I'll probably write a blog post featuring all my social fails- featuring my friend Amy because she happens to be there EVERY TIME.  
11. I have socialised so much in the past couple weeks and it feels good but it takes up so much money that I don't have!  This also lead me to wear a lot of my dresses that never get any wear so that was a bonus.  
12. I have a weird obsession with socks, I've always worn socks everywhere I go, don't ask why it just sort of happens, but recently my mum has pointed out my obsession and I think its cool to buy new socks all the time.  I wear bed socks in public because they look cool with my converse.  
13. My family and I bought 4 Perfect Pillow's.  And I would 10/10 recommend these to you.  They look like those dumb things the commercial always tries to sell you but trust me on this one, THEY WORK AND I WANT A HOUSE MADE OF THEM.  
14. I hate people telling me I'm weird or random in a serious tone, like no ,you're just a boring person  who has no originality and I hope you lose $5 
15. I don't find it flattering when people copy off me, I literally cry because I'm trying to be my own unique person.  So please just be yourself, don't copy off others!  
16. I am also one of those people who don't usually follow the crowd/ latest trend.  Don't get me wrong, there are some things I will jump on the bandwagon for but majority of things, I prefer to be different!
17. You know how some people have their own 'scent'? You can smell it every-time they're around? Yeah well, I don't have one and I don't event sweat therefore I don't get BO.  I don't even have my own perfume/ deodorant scent yet.  I'm hoping when Zoe launches her beauty products, there's a perfume in there!
18. Hip hop is my favourite style of dance mainly due to the fact you can have fun and make so many crazy facial expressions where as in Ballet/ Lyrical I find it difficult to portray the sadder emotions.  Don't get me wrong, I love ballet and lyrical- I think I look best doing these styles but I have more fun pulling silly faces in hip hop than being emotional in lyrical all the time.  I also don't have that nice dancers smile so my facial expressions in Ballet are a let down to my dancing haha.  
19. My favourite chocolate is maltesers!!!!
20. My first ever phone was a Motorolla flip phone which made me the coolest kid on the block even if it was my moms to start with.  I then got a Telstra bubble touch in year 8 which I thought  was so awesome but it was actually the WORST PHONE EVER!

Thanks for reading this post, it's kind of not well structured or anything but whatever! I also Tag TARYN, KAYLA and BRANDON to complete these two tags :)

Sunday Afternoon Tea Party

Today I went to a Sunday gathering at my friends house.   Funny story actually, I was supposed to go to her house early to help her set up.  Turns out I'd lost track of time watching Maleficent and ended up turning up late... oops! 

That aside, I really enjoyed the overall set up.  I thought it was a really cute idea and in an earlier blog post, I think I mentioned I wanted to have more outings with my friends, etc.  The thought of picnics, tea parties and girls nights really excited me.   I just think there are so many different ways to host these events- such as different themes, etc.  I really enjoy cute little setups where bunting flags, lanterns, mason jars and paper straws are used and this tea party had all of the above.  

Cake/ Food Review

Even though I only ate one cupcake- how this happened I have no idea because I LOVE CAKE.  But I did get to take some home to sample all of them.  The cakes were enjoyed by many and presented on cute little cake stands, so nice.  

Drinks Review

There were a couple options, sadly chocolate milk was not on the menu so I opted for some pink lemonade which was so lovely even though I somehow managed to make it overflow the cup after I was told many times to pour the drink slowly.  There was fruit infused water- which looked cool however I did not try as well as iced tea? I think it was ice tea.  I honestly don't know the pink lemonade was too good.  

Atmosphere/ Decor Review

As stated before it included everything I loved, besides the fact the umbrella nearly fell on me due to the immense strength of the wind, I enjoyed the decorations very much.  

I hope you enjoyed this style of post.  I'm sure there is more like this to come in the next week as I have two more outings to attend to- my dresses will be thanking me as they never get worn!

Let's have a talk

There are some days where you're not  feeling the best and it's important that we always keep an open and positive mind.  There's always going to be people in this world, wherever you go, who dislike you and that's okay.  You could run as far away from this person and you'll always find another person who replaces them.  

There are people who get a kick out of shaming you for the things you love.  If you want to watch youtuber's, then watch youtubers.  If you want to eat 7 pizza's then eat all the damn pizza's you want.  I can't stress this enough, life is too short to be worrying about what others think.  I mean damn, it's your life and you can do whatever the heck you want.  What people think of you, it doesn't matter.  So what? You're depressed that you're 16 and don't have a boyfriend? Get over it and start living- today! None of these things worrying us matters and we all need to remember that.  You're going to be excluded from activities. You're going to be hated, you're going to be shamed and you know what? You shouldn't care.  DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!  Don't have guilty pleasures, don't act differently around people because they think your usual self is weird or foolish.  Express who you are and stop hiding because those are the best kinds of people in this world.  

Start making changes in your life.  Start working out if you want to be healthy, don't sit around saying "I want abs" and do nothing about it, get off your butt butt and do what you got to do.  Need a job? Do something about it! You want to get out more? DO IT.  That YouTube video you keep saying you'll make- DO THAT TOO.  What ever makes you a positive person, do it.  So what you had a bad day, don't sit there grieveing and feeling sorry for yourself, do something to make a difference and stop worrying what others have said and done to you.  I know for a fact there are going to be better people in the world than the one's that are making you upset.  

This was just a bit of inspiration/ motivation for those who are having a stressful/ rough patch this week.  Stay happy!
