Hello Loves...

Hello Loves...

Wow, it has been a while since I've been on this blog. I just wanted to give a quick announcement that I am officially back from my Blogging Hiatus, and I will be posting again on this blog. I gave myself a couple of months to think about my blog, and come up with some new content for it. I do have plans to give my blog a re-design but that'll happen in a few months. 

I will be posting on a regular basis, and I am super happy to be posting again. I really hope you guys stick with me on this adventure. I really want to connect with you guys again so I will leave my social media links below so you can check them out. 

Onto what has been happening on my little blogging Hiatus, To be brutally honest nothing too exciting has happened. I spent time with my family, and was putting Ideas together for new blog posts. The Main exciting thing that happened took place this weekend. I saw 5 Seconds of Summer for the second time, live at Manchester Arena. It was the best night of my life. The boys put on an absolutely incredible show, and anyone who is going to see them on their Sounds Live Feels Live tour is going to be in for one hell of a Show! 

That's it for this Blog Post, I will be back in a few days with a new post. I'll have y new blogging Schedule sorted. 

Question of the post: What do you guys want to see on my blog? 

Please let me know on twitter or in the comments below.

Taking a Little Break...

Hi Loves, 

Sorry I haven't been posting as regularly as I should. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this kind of post for a while, but the day has come. 

I am unfortunately taking a little break away from my blog. Don't get me wrong, I Love blogging, but I am currently on a work placement and have no wifi at home to upload, which is really hard. 

I am also working on a couple of projects with my best friend, which you will know about soon. 

I will still be active on my social media, especially twitter and instagram, if you are not following me on either - its @Missklxoxo 

I'm not sure how long this break will be, maybe a month or two, but I will most definitely be back with a bang!

Thanks for sticking with me, 

write you all soon

New Years Resolutions!!!!

Hey Guys!!! 

Can you believe it? It is almost the end of 2015!!! Merlin's Beard...Wow. 

This year I've had plenty of ups and downs, but to be honest, I think next year will be better...I'm turning 21 next year!!!!!! 

On to actual New Years Resolutions, I'm quite happy to admit that I am terrible with them. However, this year, I gave it some thought and decided to write down 5 things I wanted to do next year and actually stick with it. Here goes....

1) Be more consistent with my blog and social media - This had to be one of my main Resolutions, as I'll admit, I've been slacking quite a bit on social media and with my blog. Next year, I am to be way more consistent with blog posts, and I'll be more active on social media. 

2) Redesign my blog - My second resolution has to be to completely redesign my blog. To be honest, I'm not liking the current layout and theme of my blog. I think in the new year, I want to go down the minimalist, modern route and have a monochrome theme...I'll have a think about it. 

3 and 4)Eat Healthier and Lose weight -  I have this resolution pretty much every year, and every year, I ALWAYS FREAKIN' BREAK IT!!! DARN MY ADDICTION TO CHOCOLATE -.-

This year I am to actually keep going with this resolution and not bail after a month or something. I might document how I do with this one, like I did ith my university series. If you want to see this please let me know in the comments section below. 

5) Experiment more with fashion and beauty - Next year, I want to step out of my comfort zone a bit when it comes to fashion and beauty. I am the type of person who pretty much sticks with what I'm comfortable with when it comes to fashion and beauty. Next year I do want to experiment and really find my style in 2016. I'm hoping to experiment with makeup and skincare, try new products and brands and see where it goes. 

Thats it for this post. Please be sure to follow me on social media. Thankyou for 1.3k followers on twitter by the way!!!! 

What are your New Years Resolutions?

Let me know in the comments below or on twitter. 

Bye for now,

My Christmas Weekend!!!

Well Hello Lovely People!!!
I hope you all had an amazing christmas! I certainly did!
This post has been planned for a while, but I've had to delay uploading it because of starting my work placement on Monday.
This post will be documenting my christmas weekend, from Christmas eve until the 27th, as I had a very fun christmas and I wanted to share it with you.

Christmas Eve - Mum and I had a chilled out evening, with a buffet for two and a few episodes of Pretty Little Liars. We are still on season 5, and watched 5x13 and 5x14. We are really enjoying it, and cannot wait to finish the season. We also listened to some christmas songs whilst wrapping up presents for family.

Christmas Day - Mum and I woke up around 8am, made a cup of tea, and began opening presents. We also discovered that we are very in sync with each other, in terms of what we bought each other for christmas. We both got each other DVDs, clothes, jewellery, candles and chocolate etc. The rest of the day was spent over at my Aunt and Uncle's house with my two cousins. My aunt had done an amazing dinner. Starters were Pate for me and Prawn cocktail for everyone else. Then my other Aunt and Uncle popped round for a little bit before our main meal, with our cousin/nephew. It was lovely to see them. After they left, we had a lovely roast turkey dinner, then had a game of Cranium. Personally, Cranium is my favourite game to play at christmas because everyone has a laugh. My cousin and I won which I was very pleased about. After cranium, it was time for dessert. I had a classic Mince Pie, whilst other options were trifle and Chocolate Bomb. Mum and I left around 7, and went home to watch a bit of Joe and Caspar Hit The Road, before going to bed.

Boxing Day - Boxing Day was a really chilled out day for Mum and I, we spent the day at home just chilling and also popped into town and had a look at the sales that were going on. I picked up two things from Superdrug - A Studio London Brow Kit and a Sleek Makeup Party Box, both of which I will do a review on my blog in the new year. I also picked up a copy of Tyler Oakley's book, Binge. I've started reading it and I think its so good and definitely worth a read. For the rest of the day, we just spent watching DVDs, and reading.

Sunday 27th December - This day was one of the most fun family days. Mum, My aunt, uncle, cousins and I took a trip up to Leeds to visit My Aunt, Uncle and Baby Cousin who live up there. Said Baby Cousin is now 9 months old. We spent the time having a buffet that my Aunt and Uncle had prepared, as well as getting lots of cuddles and photos with the little one. We also went on a little walk around the village/countryside where they live. It was honestly a really lovely day. We got home around 7pm and had a chill out evening watching another episode of Pretty Little Liars.


That's it for this post. I can't believe it is the last day of 2015 tomorrow. That being said, I will be uploading TWO posts, My New Years Eve Playlist and My New Years Resolutions.
Also, I do have a new instagram account, as I got locked out of my other account. Please go and follow me @MissKLxoxo , also on twitter @MissKLxoxo , Bloglovin - KatieLauren10 , and We heart It - @MissKatieLaurenxoxo

What did you do over Christmas? Let me know in the comments section below.

Christmas Shopping, Works meal, and Top Tracks of the month!!

Hey Guys!!!!

How are you all doing?? Are you all ready for Christmas???

BREAKING NEWS PEOPLE IT IS TWO DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS, I REPEAT IT IS TWO DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!!!! MERLIN!!!!

Yesterday I went Christmas Shopping with my Dad to Manchester, which was really nice as I haven't seen him in a while. I picked out a few things for myself, and for my mum, as well as helping dad pick out something for his Fiancee (is that how you spell it? IDK)

Also last week I had my work's christmas meal and managers leaving do, with all the volunteers at Sue Ryder Care in Northwich. We had such a lovely meal, and there was a lot of laughs. I think I gained abs from laughing so hard. 

I also wanted to do a quick top tracks of the month, as I am focusing my blog posts around new year's eve next week. So here are the songs I have been loving this month. 

1) Over and Over again - Nathan Sykes - Holy Merlin's beard!!!! This song is absolutely stunning. Nathan has such an incredible voice, and I think its his time as a solo artists to show what he can do. This song just proves how good of a singer he really is. 

2) Hands of Time - Rachel Diggs - As you all know, I have become obsessed with Pretty Little Liars, and I was having a look through some of the season soundtracks and came across this song. It's so catchy and dark, but a really good song. If you are a PLL fan, I suggest you take a look at the soundtracks for the different seasons as there are some really good songs. 

3) What do you mean? - Justin Bieber - I never thought I would say this again but, I have actually turned back into a fan of the Biebs. He's been bringing out some awesome songs from his latest album, Purpose. This one is my favourite, by far. It's catchy, upbeat and overall a really good song. 

4) Confident - Demi Lovato - My final pick is this song by the stunning Demi Lovato. This song is insane!!! Her voice is just incredible. I think the video for this is really cool, and a real feel good song. 

That's it from me until next week guys. I hope you all have a lovely, lovely christmas. 

What songs have you been loving this month? Have you listened to any of my picks?

Christmas Update!!

Hey Guys!!

So I'm back with another Blog Post. Today's post is my christmas update. This will only be a quick post as I am off to Knutsford to reunite and catch up with one of my best friends. 

In regards to christmas, I'll be very honest. I haven't even put the christmas tree and decorations up yet :O My flat looks very un-festive at the moment, but I am putting up the tree and decorations with my mother dearest. 

Present wise, Most of my family members are done, we have a few to finish off. I still have to buy some presents for my mum, but I'm doing that on Tuesday, as I'm going to Manchester with Dad. 

Christmas Shopping is one of my favourite things ever, I love being able to walk around and see all the festive-ness in the shops and outside. I think my favourite place for christmas Shopping is Manchester, just because it looks so festive and you have the Iconic Manchester Christmas Markets which are pretty awesome. 

As for this weekends plans, Today (Saturday) I am taking a trip to my hometown and meeting up with one of my best friends who I haven't seen in about 4 years. The two of us have been friends for around 14-15 years, our mums are good friends as well. I think its lovely to have friends who you can go for ages without seeing each other or speaking to each other, but when you get together, the atmosphere is still the same. You can still have a laugh, banter, and you know that person will always be there if you need a friend. 

On Sunday, I am FINALLY putting the christmas tree and decoration up in the flat, as well as dying my hair. Because its the festive season I'm going a black cherry red colour, basically topping up the colour I am at this current moment. 

That's it for this quick blog post. I hope you guys have a lovely weekend, I will be back on monday with another blog post. I'm hoping I can post a blog post everyday between now and christmas.

My Plans For Christmas 2015!!!

Hey Lovely People!!!!

Again, I would just like to apologise for the lack of posts that have been on the blog this month, I haven't prioritised my blog as much as I should have. (Thats one of my new years resolutions). 

However, the exciting news is that it is exactly ONE week today until christmas!!!! How exciting is that? 

With it being a week today until christmas, I decided to share with you my plans for the festive weekend. There will be a post on the 28th documenting the whole weekend but here are my plans for next weekend's festivities. 

On Christmas Eve, my mum and I are going to have a little party for two, including a little buffet, wrapping last minute presents for everyone so we don't have a repeat of last year and have a mad wrapping party on christmas morning. We'll play a little bit of music, and then once all the wrapping is done, we'll settle down in our PJ's and watch a couple of episodes of Pretty Little Liars Season 5. (We know we are behind, we are slowly catching up with it :P) 

On Christmas Day, Mother Dearest and I will give each other our presents, then have a lovely breakfast, and relax for an hour before getting ready to go to my Aunt's for Christmas Dinner and to see everyone. I can't wait to just spend time with all the Family. 

On Boxing Day, Mum and I won't do much. We'll probably just relax a bit and maybe have a walk around town  and check out the sales. Then we will probably either watch PLL, or any other DVDs that we decide to watch. 

Finally, on the 27th December, I am going to my mum's friends party. It should be a good night. 

That is it for this blog post. Keep an eye out tomorrow for my Christmas update regarding presents and shopping and all that, as well as my top 5 christmas songs. 

What are your plans for the festive weekend that's coming up? 

Let me know in the comments below, or on Twitter @MissKLxoxo

I really hope you all have a fantastic christmas and New Year, Thank you for sticking with me and the blog, this year. Next year will be Amazing!

Top Tracks of the month: November Edition

Hello Lovely People!!!

A few things before I get started with this post, first, I know we are two days into December and this post should have gone up a few days ago but I  have been ill and volunteering. Second, I know there haven't been as many posts up on the blog in November and that is because I've had an Eye Infection over the last week to two weeks, I will make up for it in December. 

Onto this post, I have been loving three songs this month, I have been playing them non stop, so here is what they are...

1) Lucy Hale feat. Rascal Flatts - Let it go - I have been absolutely loving this version of the song Let it Go from the Disney Movie, Frozen. Lucy Hale, best known for playing Aria Montgomery in Pretty Little Liars, has an amazing voice. She teamed up with Rascal Flatts to make a country version of this song for the We Love Disney 2015 album. The album features lots of different artists from Tori Kelly to Ne-yo, Jessie J to Ariana Grande performing Disney Hits. If you are a disney fan, this is a good one for your christmas list, as is Lucy Hale's album, Road Between, which is also pretty amazing.

2) 5 Seconds of Summer - Jet Black Heart -  I always feature a 5sos song in my monthly music posts, and this month's is no different. The boys recently announced that their new single would be Jet Black Heart from their latest album, Sounds Good Feels Good. I am literally in love with this song, it's one of my joint favourites on the album along with Permanent Vacation. Can I just point out, Michael Clifford's voice is just incredible in this song, *Le Fangirls* He sounds like an angel! If you haven't heard this then I suggest that you do ASAP!!!!!

3) Hey Violet - Can't Take Back The Bullet - I fast became a fan of these guys when I heard This is Why. They are an amazing band. This song in particular is so rocky and amazing. Its my favourite song of theirs. The chorus is really catchy too.

That's all for this post guys. Do you like any of the songs I've featured in this months picks? What have you been listening to this month? Let me know either in the comments below or on twitter @MissKLxoxo.

UPDATE!!!!!!!

Hello Lovely People!!!!!

First of all, I want to apologise for the serious lack of posts this month. I have three valid reasons for that. The first is that I have had absolutely no inspiration whatsoever, the second is that I still have no camera, I can take pictures on my ipod, but have difficulty uploading them, and the third is that my work placement and job search that I have to do has literally taken over. I do apologise. 

I just wanted to make this post to tell you lovely people who actually read my blog, what I have been up to over the last couple of weeks. To be honest, I haven't done much apart from my job search and Work Placement at Sue Ryder. However, a few days ago something very exciting happened in Northwich Town..yES, Saturday 21st November was the Northwich Christmas Extravaganza. Unfortunately I did miss most of the festivities as I was working but I did get to have a quick look around. There was so much going on from market stalls, to tractor and trailer rides, donkey rides, Amplify performances, Fairground rides, Trampolines, a snow globe and rodeo reindeer. Also there was entertainment going on, on the library steps. I only saw one performance from Tom KirkPatrick, a one man band and he was pretty awesome. As we have not one but two pantomimes going on in Northwich this year, some of the cast members were around nearer the time of  the lighting of the christmas tree. Joining the stars of the pantos, were Darth Vader, Spiderman and Elsa, Anna, and Olaf from Frozen. 

I did manage to meet Edwina Currie who is playing the Evil Queen Morgana in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves at Northwich Memorial Court, and Christopher Maloney who is playing Captain Hook in Peter Pan at The Grange Theatre. If you do get the chance this year to watch a pantomime, and you are in Northwich, please go check out either or both of these as they are going to be fantastic. 

That is all from me for this post, i will have a few more posts coming up this week. Due to the camera issue, any pictures you see on the blog will be from either Pinterest or We Heart It, with credit to the original posters. Please follow me on Social Media. I'll be back soon with another post,

Top Tracks of the Month:October Edition

Hello! Lovely People of the internet! 

I am back, I do apologise for not posting in so long, I've had a little bit of blogger's block. :(  That issue has now been overcome and I have 2 new series coming over the next 2 months. Throughout November there will be an Autumn Series (I know i should have done that this month but oh, well), and In December, instead of doing Blogmas, I'll do a christmas series, posting once or twice a week. 

Onto this post though, as you know, if you have been  reading my blog for a while, I normally do a top tracks of the month, where I talk a little bit about my favourite three songs of the month. This month's edition, however, will be slightly different. I have a mini album review and four songs that I wanted to talk about. Fasten your seatbelts, guys..here we go....

I love music!!! 

Mini Album Review : 5 Seconds of Summer: Sounds Good Feels Good

I love 5sos, I really do. Their songs are amazing, their voices are incredible, they have talent! This album is insanely incredible. What I love in particular about this album is that they sing about issues that do affect everyday life such as anxiety, and divorce. Their songs are powerful and meaningful. They are using their voices to speak out about these issues, and that's an amazing thing. I have too many favourite songs from this album, Permanent Vacation, Hey Everybody, Jet Black Heart. I actually can't pick an overall favourite. I also love this movement that the boys have created called The New Broken Scene. It's basically a movement for their fans, a place where everyone can fit in. 

This album is definitely worth listening to. Even if you are not a fan of these boys,..you will be after listening to this. 

Four Songs I have been loving this month!

1) Rotten to the Core - Disney's Descendants - I love disney movies, and this month I definitely found a new favourite. Descendants is about the kids of disney characters, villains and heroes. It's a light hearted movie, with some awesome songs. This one and another one are my favourites. It's got a hip-hop esque vibe to it, and the dance routine in the video is pretty insane. Disney and Non Disney fans will love this. 

2) If Only - Disney's Descendants - Again, this is from Descendants, Dove Cameron's voice is amazing. She is so talented. This song is the only balled type song on the soundtrack. It's absolutely beautiful, and one of my all time favourite tracks this month. 

3) Hey Violet - Smash Into You - I discovered Hey Violet when I saw them open for 5sos on their Rock Out With Your Socks Out tour. They are amazing. I have fast become a fan of theirs. I love this song, its pretty awesome and worth a listen if you are into punk-pop type music. 

4) Little Mix - Move - Last, but certainly not least, is a song from one of my favourite groups, Little Mix. This song came out a while ago, but will always be one of my favourites. Its the type of song you just want to get up and dance to. This is definitely in my top three favourite songs by little mix. 

That's it for this month's edition of top tracks. I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know in the comments below what you thought of 5 seconds of summer's album if you've listened to it, if you've seen Disney's Descendants, and what your top tracks are this month.

Things I love about Autumn!!!

Hello Lovely people of the big wide world known as the Internet!!!!

to all those who follow or have seen my blog before welcome back, and to anyone new who comes across this blog Welcome!!!! 

Autumn is finally here, and I will be honest, it is one of My favourite seasons, so I thought I would compile a small list as to love about Autumn (or fall if you are from the USA). 

Before I begin, I'm just going to point out that the pictures you see in the blog post are NOT my personal photos, I have had to use Google Images to find photos that are relevant as my camera is broken, so credit to the people who have took the images I am using on my blog today...lets get started....

 1) Autumn Leaves - the first thing I absolutely adore about autumn is the colours of the leaves. Warms reds, yellows, browns and the occasional green.It is the first sign that autumn is here, and its fun when you are walking through a park, and you see the leaves on the trees and on the floor. I find it quite cool.

Autumn Leaves 

 2)  Autumn Sunsets - I find Autumn Sunsets absolutely beautiful, I love the colours and from where I live, there are some amazing photo opportunities. There's a church near where I live and the sunset with the church silhouette is stunning

3) Movie/T.v Show Nights - One thing I do on a regular occasion is have a night with my mum where we'll either binge watch Pretty Little Liars (We're just finishing season 2, we are so behind :( ) or we'll watch a couple of movies. I've just ordered the Disney Descendants movie as its supposed to be really good. We tend to have junk food, candles burning and lots of giggles and laughs.  (Big Big shoutout to my Mum, YOUR THE BEST...LOVE YOUUUUU!!!!!)

4) Autumn Fashion - I like to stay pretty comfy in autumn winter so i tend to stick with jumpers, flannel shirts and hoodies or my leather jacket with leggings or skinny jeans and either my converse, UGGs or my black biker boots. 

That is it for this post, I will be back soon with another post, be sure to follow me on social media to keep up with what I'm up to. I'm on twitter, Instagram, we heart it, bloglovin and tumblr. 

Bye for now,

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!

HEY GUYS!!!!!! 

I am officially BACK from my blogging haitus..which I do apologise for by the way...I've really wanted to be more consistent with my blog posts and eventually..if you guys wanted me to...move on to making youtube videos to coinside with my blog...plus the occasional singing video...haha...

Well, I guess I'd better give you an update of the last couple of weeksm as well as give you guys a reason as to why I haven't been blogging....

The reasons why I haven't been blogging are because I had ran out of ideas for posts, I was on a work placement which meant I couldn't really upload anything and I have injured myself....

Long story short with my injury...I have Jarred my feet. Bascially this time last week I was in Manchester on an observation day/second interview kind of thing...including travelling time i was out for around 15 hours...I'm not entirely sure how I've jarred my feet..I'm thinking I jumped off the train funny because it had a RIDICULOUSLY high step from the train onto the platform...plus the amount of running I had to do to keep up with my mentor for the day AKA Speedy Flipping Gonzales -.- I don't know...what I do know is that my feet still hurt...I'll live haha 

I'm not going to say what happened with that job or mention who the company was for certain reasons...

Moving on....I do have a few rather exciting blog posts coming up in the next few weeks, but I would love to hear what you guys want to see on my blog? If you do have a request please do not hesitate to comment on this blog post or my twitter @MissKLxoxo (I changed my twitter handle because I got bored of my other one, and my new one is a little bit more relevent to my blog) 

One other announcement before I wrap up this post, is that on Sunday 20th of September, My blog turns 1!!!! I can't believe how quick that's flown by!! I will be uploading a post on Saturday talking about it and I'll be tweeting about it on Sunday. 

That's it for now, I will be back soon with another post. I'd really love to talk to you guys so tweet me or comment below. 

Bye for now,

Happy Saturday Guys!!!!

I finally uploaded a new blog post!!! This posts is the August Edition of my top tracks of the month, songs that I have just been listening to over and over again this past month, some are new releases, some not but here are my favourite tracks this month.

1. Fly Away by 5 Seconds of Summer - Again my favourite band makes the number one spot on my top tracks of the month. I can't help it, their songs are just Amazing. This one in particular is just really catchy, and is just a great song to listen to. I can't wait for their new album to be released at the end of October. It's gonna be a good one!!!
2. Road Between by Lucy Hale - This has just recently been added onto my Ipod and I can't stop listening to it. It's a beautiful ballad type song, The lyrics are just amazing. Lucy has an incredible voice. I love her as Aria in Pretty Little Liars, and I love her album, Road Between. If you haven't heard any of her songs yet, I suggest you do because they are awesome. 
3. Holding Out For A Hero - Bonnie Tyler - My final pick of the month is one of those songs that's an absolute classic. It's such a powerful song, the drum solo in it is incredible, and overall its just brilliant.

My 20th Birthday!!! :D

Hey Lovely People Out there!!!!!

So yesterday was the day I celebrated living on this planet for twenty years...I know, I don't look it but officially I am 20 years old. Someone said to me they thought I looked like a 13 year old...I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult. 

Anyway I thought I would tell you all what I did yesterday to celebrate. I honestly didn't do much in the morning, I slept in as I'd had most of my presents last weekend, and went to the library for an hour or so and had a walk round town. In the Afternoon, My Dad picked me up and we spent a couple of hours in Manchester, had some lunch, and did quite a bit of shopping for birthday presents. I got to pick out some things that I had been wanting for a while, such as season 1 of Pretty Little Liars. I've seen the odd episode, and I really want to get into it, so mum and I are gonna binge watch it and pick up the other seasons as we go. As mum was working during the day, we spent the evening in our local Wetherspoons, having a couple of cocktails and some yummy food. I am not nursing a small hangover....but all is well. 

If you want me to do a post featuring some of the things I got for my birthday then please let me know in the comments below or on twitter. I also just want to say a huge thankyou for all the birthday messages I received from my friends and family on Social Media. 

I'll be back soon with another post. 

Byeeee

15 ways to smile!!

Hi, to all of you lovely readers of my blog!

Today's post is a little bit different. I've decided to put together a little list of 15 different ways to put a smile on your face every single day. Lets get started....

1. Watch your favourite TV Show or Movie 
2. Bake something! It can be anything from cupcakes to a big cake for all to share. 
3. Have a chat with a good friend or reconnect with an old one. ~ I did this yesterday and I'm happy I did :) Shoutout to Jazzy! 
4. Learn a new skill! Something you have never done before but wanted to try, such as a new sport, a new style of dance, or even photography. 
5. Help Somebody Out! Doing this always boosts our happiness levels and smiliness!! :D
6. Turn a negative thought into a positive one! Whenever you feel down, try and turn that negative feeling into a positive one!
7. Believe in yourself!
8. Create a playlist of all your favourite songs and dance like no-one is watching :)
9. Watch your favourite vloggers or read your favourite blogs. Mine are Zoella, Tanya Burr, Sprinkle of Glitter, Tyler Oakley, Bethany Mota, Pixiwoo, ThatcherJoe, Casper Lee, Jim Chapman, and PointlessBlog
10. Tell someone you love them! This could be a family member, friend, or even the person your in a relationship with. 
11. Make a new friend! This can be someone who is the complete opposite to you, or you have the same things in common. 
12. Doodle or Draw! When I do this, I tend to sketch out potential jewellery designs...
13. Avoid Negative People
14. Read a book that you love! The books that I'd recommend are the Harry Potter Books and the Selection Series by Kiera Cass. 
15. Finally, write down ten positive feelings, thoughts or quotes, onto post-it notes, and stick them in random places where you can always see them 

That's it for today. I'll be back on August 12th with another blog post. Tomorrow is my 20th Birthday so I'll be blogging about that on Wednesday. Be sure to follow me on my social media. 

Write soon,

Hello August!!!

My,My, My!! It's been a while since I last wrote, but I am back and there WILL be plenty of blog posts throughout this month.
First things first though, August, you have got to sort your weather priorities out Matey! You're a summer month for Merlin's sake not flippin Winter! We need sunshine, not rain!!!
On another note, August is a month of birthdays for my family. My Dad's birthday was a couple fo days ago, so happy birthday to him (the old git) Love Ya Dad! Next is my gorgeous cousin Abbi's 18th, then mine on August 11th, then my cousin Jack's 20th near the end of the month.
The thing with Jack and I though, is that we were born in the same year, I'm exactly two weeks old, yet he's flipping taller than me. (Well, it's easy for anyone to be taller than me as I'm only 5'2)

Please keep a look out on the blog, as well as my twitter and instagram for when the new posts are up. I do want to do a Q+A post this month so please send any questions with the #AskKatie on twitter. Be sure to follow my social media. I'll be back soon.

Byeeee

Top Tracks of the Month - July Edition!

Hey Lovely People! First off, I just want to send out a quick apology for the absence of posts this month, I seem to be apologizing a lot recently. I've had to take a break due to job hunting and other reasons. A little note on my university series, a lot of you seemed to enjoy that, but that has now finished. This post is exactly the same as my last post. I want to do this every month, in addition to a favourites post. Let's get on with my top tracks this month...

First up is the brand new single from my favourite band of all time, 5 seconds of Summer. She's Kinda Hot is so catchy, and relatable to anyone. I love the beat and guitar as well as it's lyrics. I caught my mum dancing and singing this yesterday with a full blown air guitar performance (I should have filmed it hehe), so it's a hit with her to. I can't wait to hear what else they have planned for the new album.

Second is Black Magic by the lovely ladies of Little Mix. This is such an awesome, upbeat song. It's one of those songs that can instantly boost your mood and make you want to dance. Good on you girls for such an epic song!

My third and final pick is a ballad that was released last year. My pick is the song Brave Souls by Cozi Zhuellsdorff for the Dolphin Tale 2 Soundtrack. It's a beautiful song and all of her other songs are pretty cool as well.

That's all from me! I will be back soon! Be sure to let me know your top tracks of the month either in the comments below, or on twitter or instagram. 

Write soon, 

Katie xoxo
