My Love For.. (Blue.)


My Love For... Blue



Okay, are yous all thinking I'm a tad crazy right now, writing a whole post about the colour blue?
Well, okay- but hear me out.



Does this count as blue? I'm not sure, but I am in love with this colour.
I painted (well, I didn't personally paint my room, someone did it for me, but..) my bedroom this colour at the end of last year and I am still loving it. It makes me feel extremely calm and happy. 
It's so tropical and just makes me want to fly everywhere pretty in the world.
I really think that it's make me calmer, happy and more creative. 
Also, my favourite dress is this colour;



and an amazing candle that I recently brought which smells likes the ocean!



Two Side-Notes!
  • Sorry, for the bad quality photo's, I only have my phone on me as I write this.

  • Could someone please teach me how to make an origami box? Mine isn't doing too well so far!






Hugs, kisses and Best wishes,

My Bucket List.


My Bucket List.



One of the best things in the world is dreams.
And there is no better way to dream than to have a list of all the thing you'd like to do before you die. 
This is my bucket list (well my top 15 things) ;

  1. Go to Sydney.
  2. Swim with dolphins (This will be checked off in one month in Bali!)
  3. Go to Sound Wave music festival.
  4. Travel with my best friend, Jemma. (Also to be checked off, she's coming to Bali.)
  5. Be recognised by my blog and/or photography.
  6. Write a book.
  7. Write a song.
  8. Learn piano.
  9. Learn guitar.
  10. Be kissed in the rain. (Cheesball.)
  11. A photo a day for one month. (Maybe I could do this for April & share it with you guys?)
  12. Cook a three-course meal for my family.
  13. A random act of kindness, once a week, for a year.
  14. Move to New York.
  15. Live in Noosa (QLD) for a year or so.

I know that maybe some of these things will never happen, but even if they don't- They will inspire me to get as close to them as possible.
I would love to see what is on your guy's list, so make one, post it on your blog, comment a link & I will check it out!



Hugs, kisses and best wishes.

My love for.. (Music)


My love for music.

I guess I should try and explain my love for music. 
I've always grown up with music- But it's never gotten me through as much these last few years.
The first real band I got into and loved was a band named 'Yellow card', I was seriously addicted to their song "With you Around".
I thought it was heaven to my ears mixed with cheeky smiles and summer days. It still feels like this. I was silly back then though- I made my favourite song an 'our song' with a friend of mine, who I don't speak with anymore, so it's not as enjoyable.
After that I was into soft music, like Joe Brooks & Backseat Goodbye, that I felt could help me through bad times and broken-ness. Now I know what really helps. Songs with a meaning. They connect the best.
They make you feel like the writer has been through what you have, and came out stronger.
I had a friend who really liked Sleeping with Sirens, so I gave them a listen and 100% fell involve with guitarist and backup singer Jesse Lawson (..how could I not?!) 

Jesse at Warped Tour 2012.

Bands like Pierce the Veil, All Time Low and A Day to Remember followed on with that love.
I liked that those rock bands were all best friends with each other..
and that my idols were my idols idols (confusing, eh?)

Kellin Quinn (SWS) on meeting Austin Carlie
from band, Of Mice & Men.


My favourites song from each of my currents obsessions are;

Sleeping with Sirens-  Stomach Tied in Knots.
Pierce the Veil- A Match Into Water (This got me through a lot.)
All Time Low- Therapy, and also For Baltimore (Alex, the singer sings 'Baltimore' so..perfectly)
A Day To Remember- You Had me at Hello. 
You Me At Six (not mentioned)- Liquid Confidence.
Good Charlotte (not mentioned)- There She Goes.


Give these songs a listen if you're having a tough time, or even check out some of their other stuff for happier moods! I know I do, and they make me feel amazeballs!  Mayday Parade is also an amazing band that helped me through everything and is still totally fun to listen to! I simply couldn't choose a favourite song of theirs. 
And of course, I love One Direction. Moments is my favourite song they sing, like ever. 


Quote from All Time Low lead singer Alex Gaskarth. (Explaining a tad better than me)


Monday's for a few weeks will be a My Love For.. post.
I hope yous enjoy these and can then know some more about me!

Hugs, kisses and best wishes,

Brothers.


Brothers.

I have one brother. 
He's older, but not much more mature.
We're actually quite close now and I believe that this is due to music. We bonded over Ed Sheeran after learning that we had the same song on repeat.

When I was younger, all I wanted was for him to be the protective big brother- but he was more the one hurting me. In the end, we were just..related. 




Two years ago, our the aunty I guess we were closest was diagnosed with cancer and my brother and I stayed at too many friends houses to count, as our parents, and even ours, main priority was her getting better.


Throughout this, we never left each other- He walked me to class and we didn't even to the same school anymore.
As we grew older, we became closer. I became friends with his friends (even the ones that weren't my favourite) and he befriended mine. 
We started going to the same gatherings and as my love for photography increased he became my #1 model!




After all this, we still fight (of course) but about little things. Like which is better- Nirvana or Pearl Jam (Nirvana) or Who's the best dancer? (Me..) but I think that's a good thing.

We're always discovering new music and I know that I can make him like any band I want to see and he'll take me to Soundwave one day! Also, we love little photography walks, even though his favourite part is editing. 

Love you Kurty.

Stay- Mayday Parade<3

Hospital.


Hospital.

Monday.
I said I would upload every Monday and Friday.
I am so,so sorry that I didn't but I got taken to hospital!
I had to have my appendix taken out, although after surgery everything hurts more than before. 
Have you's ever been to hospital?
I'm one of those girls that are 600% scared of them, so my four days there weren't much fun. 

In other news; 
I got to be in a flash mob for dancing, which you can watch here > Flash Mob At Ladies Day
You's may not be able to know which one I am but, when the semi- circle happens towards to end, I wave at my friends little brother on the far side! It was fantastic to be apart & going to Stakes Day.



Before the dance.
(My friend is been cropped out as I do not have her permission to blog her yet)





My friend took this of me at the beach.
I had this amazing doughnut! 


At the moment, I am falling back in love with Sleeping With Sirens. You should check them out, and drool over hot singer Kellin and totally rad guitarist Jesse. (Rodger rabbit, is a great first song!)

Hugs, Kisses and Best Wishes,

5) I dance (Jazz) and I play soccer. (I go for Manchester Utd. in English Premier League)
6) My favourite subjects at school are Science and English.
7) I say the words "Fancy" and "Lovely" so much that it annoys my friends.

9) I love candles and they really cheer me up when I'm down.
10) Music. Just music- it's my life and I really like bands! *
11) If you've read this far, and still want to read on- I love you so much.

So, there are 11 I-hope-fun facts about me.
