My Bucket List

My bucket list has forever been changing because I've never really sat down and thought about what I actually want to achieve in my life. Today I decided I would really think about things that would make me happy, things I can't do everyday, things that may take me longer to accomplish.

Go Skydiving

Meet my internet friend

Visit at least 10 countries

Write a book

Inspire someone to make or do something

Get married

Release a song

Have children

Go on a road trip around the USA

Ride in a hot air balloon

Go snorkelling

Visit the 7 Wonders Of The World

There may not be many things on this list yet, but I know it will keep growing. This post will constantly be updated so you can see any new things I would like to achieve!

Leave a comment telling me something that's on your bucket list; I'd love to hear about your goals.

The Law Of Attraction

 

 

Being positive can be hard sometimes, and surrounding yourself with negative people doesn't make it any easier.

 

The Law Of Attraction is the belief that positivity attracts positivity and negativity attracts negativity. If you focus on positive thoughts you will receive positive results, and vice versa. For example, if you walk into a classroom you can tell if the teacher is in a bad mood or not. If they are, you instantly feel worse than you did before, the lesson isn't as fun, and there's a lot of tension in the room. However, if the teacher is in a good mood you feel happy and slightly more excited for the lesson.
 

By someone being in a bad mood, it can lower yours. I know from past experiences that this is true and I don't like it at all. When I'm around people I try to be happier. That's because I don't want to pass my problems and negative moods onto them. Even if you aren't feeling that great, don't put other people down too by giving a negative vibe. I'm not saying don't be sad and don't talk about your problems, but if you can help it, try and be as positive as possible.
 

If you're feeling happy, show it. Go crazy, because it can really influence other people's moods. If you're in a good mood, share that with others. They'll be in a better mood and can share their positivity around.
 

As I said before, surrounding yourself with negative people won't help you feel any better, so try and avoid that. Surrounding yourself with positivity will make you feel a lot better and that's good, there needs to be more happiness in this world.

5 Things That Make Me Happy

This world needs more positivity, and people need to be reminded of the amazing things this world offers. Here are a few small things that make me happy!

 

 

Sunsets

Nature is a beautiful thing and can put a smile on almost everyone's face. Sunsets are just one thing about nature that I love. They're so relaxing to watch and can instantly put me in a better mood. In every part of the world they are different (but amazing to see all the same). If you're feeling sad and it's nearing the evening of a sunny day watch a sunset, I'm sure it will make you feel a whole lot better.

 

 

Music

I don't know one person who doesn't like to listen to a bit of music. Me... well I love it. Sometimes it helps me escape reality, sometimes I can relate to it, other times I can just sing or dance along and enjoy myself. I find that music can be used at any time. It's such a simple thing yet one of my favourites, and thinking about it makes me smile.

 

 

Hot drinks

Tea, coffee, hot chocolate. Just imagining these beverages is good enough. I don't quite understand how a drink can bring so much happiness to a persons life, but it does. People can get serious addictions to these drinks, I'm not kidding.
 

 

Dogs and Cats

I find that you either love one more than the other, however both are the cutest things. Most people will totally understand what I mean when I say that their existence makes me happy.

Burning Candles

If I'm in my room I will most probably have a candle burning. They smell amazing and I love how calm they make me. Whether I'm Reading, Painting, or on my laptop, burning a candle is always necessary. I don't think I could ever get bored of burning different scented candles because of how much I like them.

Autumn Tag

I love autumn. It’s my favourite season by a mile so I thought I’d find some autumn questions to answer!

1. Do you ignore fallen leaves on the pavement or step on them?

I step on them. All the time. They make such a satisfying crunch and stepping on them is very amusing (I’m a 5 year old at heart)

2. How close can you sit next to the fire before it gets too hot?

When it’s a cold and rainy day I can sit right next to it. However, I prefer sitting away from the fire and wrapping up with a ton of blankets; I find that a lot more comfortable and cosy.

3. Do you like your hot chocolate made from scratch or made from the package?

I’m a lazy teenager so definitely the packet haha!

4.What’s your favourite music to listen to?

In the autumn I like listening to relaxing music that can play quietly in the background whilst I’m reading a book as the rain hits the window. Artists such as Halsey, Plug In Stereo, FKA Twigs and Lana Del Rey are some popular choices for me.

5. Are you more active or laid back during the season?

Both. I tend to do a lot more in autumn because I enjoy the weather and I end up going out with my family more. But, I’m very laid back too. I spend less time stressing and worrying in autumn and more time relaxing.

6. Are you outside or inside more during autumn?

I think I spend around an equal amount of time inside and outside, I love both during fall.

7. Do you read more books during this season or summer?

Definitely autumn! I find it more fun to read and somehow have more time to do it. Also, for some reason I seem to get into books better.

8.How good are you at pumpkin carving?

Pretty damn fabulous…. I’m kidding, I wish I was great. I guess I’m quite good at carving pumpkins but compared to what some people do I am no pro.

9. What’s your best lipstick for fall?

My Kate Moss matte lipstick in shade 01 is my go to. I’ve had it since last year and wore it almost everyday throughout autumn and winter, yet still have loads of product left! It’s such a beautiful deep red, perfect for this season.

10. What’s your favourite thing about autumn?

I can’t name one thing, I love everything: Rain, hot chocolate, jumpers, boots, colourful leaves, bonfires, everything!
