My Birthday List | 2014

Yet again, another list.

If you didn't already know, my birthday is on May 20th. Tomorrow is April 1st (would you believe it!). I always start my birthday list quite early. As I think of something I add it to the list. 

Anyway, this is what my birthday list looks like at the moment :) 

IPhone 5c

I've had my current phone (the Samsung galaxy ace) for almost 2 years now so my contract runs out soon. This means it's time for a new phone. I have never been an iPhone user and this is the newest one out there. I am very excited to receive this. I am opting for the blue one (they come in 5 colours). Whenever I get a new phone (which is usually every 2 years) I usually get it for my birthday but me and my mum go to Tesco to buy it a few weeks before my birthday but I'm not allowed to touch or use it until my birthday.

Portable IPhone charger

From doing a little research into the new phone I'm getting. I know that iphone battery life is just rubbish. So, if my iPhone runs out of battery on me whilst I'm out, having the portable charger with me will be very useful. I really like the Anker, Astro mini from Amazon. So, hopefully my mum and dad will get me that one.

Noise Isolating Earphones

The ones I have at the moment are just rubbish, they always fall out of my ear which is really annoying. So, i decided that it's for some new ones. I have heard a lot about noise isolating earphones. Apparently, they are amazing. They cancel out almost all background noises (people talking to you etc.) these type of earphones would be great on car journeys and airplane rides. I don't go on many but these will just be great at home too.

Frozen (blue-Ray)

Ok, I'm sure you must of heard of the new animated, Disney film Frozen. If you haven't, where have you been! Lots of people are talking about this film, the songs are stuck in everyone's heads. I know it's the hype in my school at the moment. I actually haven't watched it yet but I desperately want to. I recently bought the soundtrack (which is amazing) do I'm asking for the film for my birthday.

Les Misérables (Blue-Ray)

Yes, yes I know. I'm late on the bandwagon with this one. But I have never seen Les Mis but all of a sudden I want to watch it. No idea why I suddenly want to watch it. But I've heard that it's really good

The Wolf on Wall Street (Blue-Ray)

This film came out fairly recently (I think the beginning of this year) but I've heard such good things about this film. So, I thought why not ask for it.

My Sister's Keeper (DVD / blue-Ray)

I know this film came out in 2009. But I've heard that it's really sad but such a good film. I quite liked what it's about and I thought I might like it.

The Hunger Games Catching Fire (blue-Ray)

Again, I've heard such good things about this movie. All my friends loved it. I saw the first hunger games and I really liked it so I thought I may like this one too.

Now that's what I call music 87 (CD)

This is a CD that has all popular music at the moment (chart music). I've got the previous 5 NOW CD' s and I liked them. I've seen the tracklist for this one and I love almost every song on it.

Meet The Vamps | The Vamps (CD)

The Vamps are a fairly new boyband and I absolutely love them. They've had 3 singles out already and I love all 3. This is their first ever album. They are my favorite band and I can't wait to get their album

Updated

Meet The Vamps | DVD edition (story of The Vamps)
When I found out that The Vamps have released an album, about a week later I also found out that they have a film about them released too. When I found this out I got very excited. This is basically the story of The Vamps. I can imagine it will involve how they got started, behind the scenes etc. But honestly I don't know but I am excited to find out.

Phone Case
I probably wouldn't of found this phone case if it wasn't for Zoella. Zoella (Zoe Sugg) is a beautiful, British youtuber. I watched one of her What's in my Bag videos (Winter Edition) and she included her felt, monster IPhone case from an Etsy shop. I just fell in love with it basically. Luckily, she included the link for it :) It's easier if you just see it, so here's the link for the phone case. http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/117824839/felt-iphone-5-case-monster-cases-wool?ref=listing-shop-header-0

(P.S Please go check out Zoe's youtube channel. I obviously don't know her personally, but I seriously want to because she is such a lovely, sweet, funny, beautiful person on camera. But she is my favorite youtuber, also please check out some of her youtube friends such as Tanya Burr, her brother ThatcherJoe, PointlessBlog, Jim Chapman, Marcus Butler and more. They are all amazing. Here's Zoe's link. https://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390
Remember to check out her friends too.)

Ok, I don't know whether you liked that or not. But maybe it's given you an idea of something to put on your birthday list. Or maybe you saw something that you could get someone else. 

For my birthday it's really only films CD' s and phone accessories.

I may do a post after my birthday on what I actually get. But I'm not sure if you will like that or not (let me know).

What are you asking for your birthday?

Let me know in the comments!

10 Things I Want To Do

From the title it may sound like a bucket list (a list of things I want to do before I die) type post I'm about to do. But it isn't. This is a little different. Instead I'm doing 10 thing I want to do MORE of in my life.

So, let's start :)

1) Drink more water - This was one of my New Years Resolutions and I think many people had the same too. I've kind of had a head start with this. This is because I started drinking a lot more water just before Christmas. Since I started I have been drinking about 2 litres of water almost everyday. So, it's going good so far. Let's see if I can keep it up for the rest of the year.

2) Do more exercise - This is more for when I have finished school because I will have more time. I guess I'm doing a little excersize at school because of PE and I walk to and from t school each day. Each way it takes 15-20 minutes. Also, I'm doing a bit of progress because I have been doing 60 sumo squats and 60 calf raises everyday and about 20 lunges most days. So that good isn't it? I'm also trying to stretch a lot each day.

3) Go out more - on weekends I barely ever meet up with my friends. I always find myself on the internet or watching TV, bad? I know but I'm not the only one who does it. However, I do go out a lot with my family most weekends.

4) Eat healthier - I'm one of those people who has a massive sweet tooth. I love eating junk food, even though I know it's really unhealthy. Honestly, I'm not sure it's a good idea to stop eating junk food or not. I'm one of those people who eat all I want and I don't really gain any weight. Most girls my age (14-15 year olds) weigh around 8 stone. However, I'm 6 stone 12 which I think is underweight for someone my age. So, I'm not really sure how long eating healthy will last.

5) Stress less - My anxiety mainly happens when I have to speak in front of a class, certain exams and when I'm in an elevator. Soon as I let the tiniest bit of anxiety through it will try to take over, I just need to breathe deeply and try to bat it away.

6) Be louder - I am a very shy and quiet person, especially in lesson. At break and lunchtime at school when I'm with my friends. There's no reason to be quiet but sometimes I just don't have anything to say. Especially recently one of my friends keep having a go at me for not saying anything and being quiet at lunch and break. Honestly, she is really getting on my nerves by saying this I don't really have any reason to get annoyed I guess but you will get it if someone kept repeating that to you. This isn't the whole reason why I want to be louder, it's mainly because in class sometimes on my reports my teachers always say I need to ask and answer questions more. So, um yeah that's it really.

7) Read more books

8) Sort out my wardrobe more - I go out shopping with my mum a lot, and every time I go I always end up buying a lot of things, mainly on Primark. However, point most things I buy I have never worn. If I sort out my wardrobe more there will be more space and everything will be my more organized.

9) Take more baths - This isn't anything much but I usually take showers but recently I have become a little obsessed with a shop Lush this is a bath and body type shop. I love the bath bombs and bubble bars especially and this has encouraged me to have more baths. To be honest I like these more. They are much more relaxing and a good way to rest after a hard day.

10) Keep my room tidy - I am a really messy person and well I just let my room get too messy, too quickly. So, basically I will just try and be tidy so my mum won't have a go at me for being messy, haha.

So, there it is.
The things I want to do more if.
Feel free to do this yourself too. If you do post a link in the comments of the post and I will check it out :)

By the way, you can probably tell I really love making lists. But there will be more lists to come so start looking out for those. I hope you like these sort of posts.

Motivational Monday #4

Hello everyone.

It's the 27th of January and that means it is the last week in January. In my opinion January is the dullest month ever. It's the month after Christmas and it is so dull and boring. 

Anyway the point of these Monday posts.

Today quote...

This quote is nothing to with the first few sentences I just wrote but I just found this quote and thought, "This relates to me SO well"
I have 2 very different sides to me. I am as quiet as a mouse when I'm alone in lessons. However, when I'm with my friends and family I'm REALLY loud, crazy and weird. You will completely forget I'm really quiet when I want to be. I really agree with this quote! Like I just said I am SO quiet sometimes but no-one knows what goes on inside my head (that sounds a little weird) I think of things 24/7, I over think things, sometimes I don't think about things to much.
I would think if there was a little person inside of my brain, they would probably go deaf with how loud all my thoughts are. I am a quiet person with a loud mind full of weird, wonderful thoughts and memories.

This quote may relate to other people to but it definitely relates to me. Or you may agree with this quote.
So, let me know. Are you someone who is usually quiet but has a loud mind?
Is there lots going on up there?
Let me know!

Motivational Monday #3

Yep, it's that time again. Motivational Monday number 3!

I have mentioned this before. So you may know that last Friday I had my French speaking exam again. However, yet again it went terrible. I only answered the first question and I couldn't answer the rest so my teacher didn't grade me. So, yep, that means I have to retake it yet again, this week. Also, afterwards he was talking to me saying it frustrates him because he knows I can do it, it's just I get to worked up over it and I panic too much etc. As he was talking to me I started crying. Yeah I know it was pointless and I'm such a wimp etc. But honestly I don't even know myself why I started crying, I didn't the first time I did the exam but I did the second time. Why is that? I don't even know? I think it might be because it's the second time I was doing the exam and it felt like more pressure on me and I just wanted to get it right this time.

Anyway, that is the reason I chose that quote. I was extremely upset on Friday because of the exam and this quote I can really relate to, especially at the moment  because of the French exams I keep having to do. Before each one, both times I was terrified,. The first time I had a panic attack before it and the second time I was ok but I cried in front of sir. 

Anyway, back to the quote. The problem is that with me, the build up/before any exam I panic so much. I think about it way too much. So, this quote is really good advice for me as it relates to me SO well. I just have to remember, like it says in the quote. Thinking/panicking about exams too much will only cause s problem! 

This is good advice to anyone who over thinks anything!

Motivational Monday #2

Just I would quickly like to say that I apologize that I only posted once last last week. This is because honestly I didn't have any ideas for blog posts. So I'm sorry about that. I will try and post more this week to make up for it.

So, today is the second instalment of 'Motivational Monday'. For today I picked this quote. The reason for that is that. It's the second week into January and that is usually when most people start to give up on their new years resolutions, I know I usually do.

You may remember my new years resolutions post, if you do you will know my new years resolutions. I think one of them is going very well. That one is to drink more water, This is going very well as I have stuck to it so far. Everyday I drink around 3-6 full glasses of water, which I think is pretty good. However, my other two new years resolutions which were panic less and revise more/procrastinate less. 

There hasn't really been anything to panic about so far, so that I'm still waiting for. But, I will see this Friday because I have my French speaking exam redo and when I did it the first time I had a big panic attack so I will see what happens then.

Well, to be honest I haven't been revising more. So that has been a big fail so far. However, I have been revising quite a lot for my French exam. So, I guess that's something towards my revise more resolution.

So, the quote I have picked for today, ' When you feel like quitting: Think about why you started' I feel like it's suitable for the ' New Years Resolutions' theme. For example, it may be that you want to get healthier, do more exercise etc. You may feel like quitting but remember, all you have to remember is why you started. How good you will feel when you achieve it your goal. Think about why you started it!
