Slight betrayal (sorry)

So I have recently been enjoying blogging a lot more, I have had more time to upload posts, aswell ash gaining a few hundred pageviews in the last couple of weeks.

I have always liked blogger, but lovely, I have wanted to start new pages, and widen my audiences. So unfortunately, to do that, I have to start a new blog. I feel bad leaving my lovely audience behind, and moving on, but I realised that the later I leave it, the more I will regret it. So unfortunately, it is goodbye :( if you were a loyal reader, and you want to check out my new blog, the head over to www.charceecee.weebly.com, but if you only just came across my blog now, then I suppose it is a quick hello and goodbye. I don't think I will do many (if any) posts again on this blog, so please go and look at my new one, I promise you it is a lot better than this one :)

Early Halloween present?

Ok. So I think I an about to have a panic attack, because the 'black widow spiders' have hit the UK. This is just great isn't it. Aswell as having aracnephobia and being terrified of spiders, I now find out that one of the most deadly spiders in the WORLD have invaded my country and one has been found in my city. 

Ohh the joys of google, I have looked at basically every web page available (spot the pun) and now found out that they reproduce 120 at a time, they kill and eat their mate too -hence the name 'widow'. I'm sure you don't need a lecture on this, but I wish I hadn't found out to be honest, because I am now quite traumatised... Being home alone at the moment too... This is a recipe for disaster. 

Hopefully I will be here for the next blog but I wish all my fellow readers a happy spider invasion day :) make the most of it...

OCD

This is quite a sensitive subject for me, but hopefully not many people I know will read this...

I have not been diagnosed with OCD but I just know that I have it. 

When you dissect the acronym, it means 'obsessive compulsive disorder'. This does not really express its real meaning, and just sounds like someone who is crazy and obsessed. 

I am not denying being crazy, but OCD can have lots of different aspects of it. In my case, I find it hard to eat around people with bad manners, to eat around people who eat loudly, share food or drinks with people. There are many other ways that people can have OCD, and it effects some people a lot worse than me.

To be honest, throughout most of my life, I thought it was normal, and it is only rescently that I have realised that my actions are out of the ordinary. I have told a few of my closest friends, but they did not really take it seriously or understand, so maybe I should just keep it to myself. 

My 'condition' has not hindered my life too much I suppose, but it has caused inconveniences. 

I am rambling on now, but I just wanted a way to channel my problems... Hope this helped somebody out there :)

Art

So I chose art as one of my GCSE options, it was not much of a decision to be honest, because I have always loved the subject! I remember being in reception and painting all afternoon every day, those were the easy days, but I wish I could do that now.

I have always had a creative streak, and I am really looking forward to doing my course work. We do a year of corse work, and then an exam at the end. 

On a negative note, I got my report this morning and received a B2... Maybe I was expecting too much, but I have never received anything less than an A or A*! I have worked the hardest in my class and done lots of extra work too, but i guess it's a 'try again next time'. 

Happy half term!

So this is mainly a matter of me showing off, because most if the schools around mine are still open, but for some reason, we get an exta week of holiday? (I'm not complaining) so I wish you all a happy half term if you are off work/school, but I wish myself one too :)

Since it's the run up to christmas, I will spend most of the Holliday shopping (my hobby) and will end up spending quite a lot of money unfortunately... Anyway, this will be a chance for me to relax and catch up on things which I am looking forward to.

Adios x

Smile...

Hello againnn... I would just like to share a theory I have. 

I believe that smiles are highly contagious. So when you smile or do a kind gesture for somebody, you are brightening somebodies day. I know this because I always try to look on the 'bright side of life'. So even if I am having a sh*t day, I will look forward and make the most of it. So if anyone out there is one wondering how to brighten their own day, just talk to somebody or give them a smile because i can assure you that it will help. I also think that is much more attractive to be a positive person, not just for the oppsite sex; it's a lot easier to socialise with people when you are not sitting in the corner crying... 

Which leads me onto a(nother) quote! I'm not sure if this is becoming a tradition now or just a habit but I think quotes give quite a good reference to life :)

(I love me some Audrey Hepburn)

An outer shell

Just thought I would let you know that...

Inside, I am one if the nicest people you will ever meet, and I know how to filter out time wasters from friends. But sometimes i come across as someone a lot cockier than I am. The title if this post may help you understand how I am very cocky when put in certain situations and have an outer shell in one personality, but once you get to know me I am very different. I honestly just want the best for everyone (myself included). If you are a nice person, I will do anything to help you. But once I see a glint of bitch, you are out of the picture.

P.S. This late night blogging has to stop. I need my beauty sleep. 

If I were a boy... RANT

Yes, you guessed it, the title of this post was inspired by the one and only Beyoncé. I'm not really a massive fan but she makes some pretty good music! 

So I don't want to actually be a boy, or turn lesbian or anything... But over the last few days, I have realised that there are quite a lot if benefits to being a boy. 

I am 100% happy in my own body, and I am a typical girly girl, (obsessed with handbags, makeup etc.) and I have a very feminine personality I suppose, but being a girl can get so annoying! Here are my reasons:

To start, I love makeup and getting ready, but you are always judged on how you look/dress! Secondly it gets unbelievably bitchy at times. Don't get me wrong, I love a good bitch, as long as it's not too serious, and all girls do. If you deny it then you are lying. 

Boys don't have these problems, and although I'm sure they have others, us girls have to stay like this! It gets so annoying when you have to fight with some of your best friends, and have to sit apart from who you thought were your friends at lunch. It is all nonesense. Some people just need to learn to keep their cool, stop spreading false rumours, stop overreacting about things, and stop lying.

I'm not going to lie...

To be honest, I don't know much/enough about suicide... I am glad about this, because I guess if I did know a lot about it, then that would mean I knew somebody who had killed themselves... I know quite a lot if people who self harm, most who are close friends, I support them theough that, but to be totally honest, I have no idea whatsoever what they are feeling. I thought I did, I thought I could sympathise with them and help them through it, but I just don't understand. I want to, and I feel sorry for them all! But I am not going to pretend I know how to support them when I don't. The reason I am saying this, is because I was originally going to put my email on the previous post so people could ask for support, but I rescently searched #suicide into Instagram and it hit me. I was utterly disturbed to what I saw, people casually uploading their cut-covered arms, with an annotation of 'I got bored' I just don't understand it... It makes me really upset to think that people would do this to them self. So I realised that I don't actually know what they go through and I should therefore not advertise myself as 'someone to talk to'. 

I thought seeing these pictures would make me happier with my life, and feel relieved to not have to go through that, but it just burnt a hole inside me. 

This is one if the quotes that really touched me... Since I am 14 too :(

I hope this does not come across like me showing off saying I am 'one if the lucky ones' and I am not in anyway saying I am discusted by it... But it is very hard for some people to understand what others go through.

Suicide/Self harm

Just to say, before anyone gets worried that this is some kind of goodbye post. It is not. Don't worry :').

Right, so I don't think I have ever had suicidal thoughts, and I am not trying to advertise that I am 'perfect' or 'happy'. But what I do know is that there is a recipe to happiness... This is different for everyone, so I can't really tell you what to do, but happiness is basically one of the most important things in life. When people say 'would you rather be rich and sad, or poor and happy' you must be quite silly to say the former.
People often associate money with happiness because money can buy the essentials, but this is not the case. I have gotten quite off subject now, but what I was trying to say is, if life is not what you want it to be, life can change. Infact it will change, and if you are getting bullied, or getting hate messages, the. Just be the better person, turn off your phone, and try hard in school, because although at the time, it may seem hard to not follow the crowd, there is no 'crowd' after school. This is why the 'nerds' always win. This isn't just to do with suicide, but depression too. Just do what you want in life! There's no point copying everyone else... 

Shopping list...

Ohh dear I'm about a year late on most of these products, but I am going into town next week, and there are a few beauty/fashion items that I am going to get.

First off is maybelline baby lips, so a lot if the you-tubers that I watch rave about this! And I am craving it! 

Next I am looking for a new concealer... Not sure which one I will get but I want one with a lot of coverage, anyway I suppose it will be a lucky dip when I get there (if anybody has any recommendations, comment down below and I would really appreciate it)

I also need to get some more batiste dry shampoo since that is a must have, as well as some new shampoo/conditioner and heat protectant spray...

Hopefully I will see some nice BarryM nail polishes and If they have any new colours, I might invest.

All of those products will be from boots hopefully...

Next up is a jewelry/fashion purchase, a gold ring. I have been looking for one for quite I while and I think I will find one in topshop... (It is not going to be real gold before you ask). 

I think that's all to be honest! Most of them are really small purchases but I think they will add up to quite a lot unfortunately! Anyway, please please please comment down below if you have 'discovered' any good products rescently since I never really get to speak to my readers x

That Autumnal feeling...

Aggh! Autumn is soon approaching! I guess this is a good thing since autumn is the end of one year, and the run up to CHRISTMAS, but it is also one if the worst seasons for weather! We can see a lot of rain and cold mornings approaching here in the UK, which I am not looking forward to... Apart from this, I love autumn! I'm not really sure why? But the autumnal colours are lovely, the reds and oranges etc. In autumn, I also do most of my Christmas shopping (what a surprise that I included Christmas) ;)  but this is mostly stuff for myself, and I enjoy a lot of days out with my mum :). Another highlight of the autumn is the fashions! I must admit that I feel a lot more comfortable in a fur lined coat, wooly scarf and Ugg boots than anything else... Aswell as these autumnal 'staples', tartan is going to be a big hit this year too! So I will look forward to seeing all of the seasonal patterns around too... I suppose this has turned into a seasonal must haves! But a song I am looking forward to listening to in the autum is 'bonfire heart' by James Blunt... It is a really seasonal song, which I would love to listen to in the chilly autumn evenings... 

Please enjoy this quote that I made! :')

New pages?

So I was trying to open up some different pages to my blog, but it didn't seem to work :')... I did open up a page with monthly must haves, but I don't know how to put on more posts... Which just shows what a professional blogger I am ;)

But seriously, I will try to sort that out, and start new things on here! So if you have any good ideas, then feel free to comment :)

Being apart from paradise

So last summer, only a matter if weeks ago, I was in Barbados, from the picture below you can see that it was quite easy on the eye! I just miss it so much and it's going to be at least a year until I go to somewhere with that beauty again... Christmas is in its way (Y) and I am pretty excited! I love all of the festive stuff! (As I said in a previous post) but if you look out of your window each day and see a view similar to the picture below, I can honestly say that you are living a happy life... 

Bright lights, city life...

For some reason lately, I have had a craving for the city life. So I do actually live in a city but skanky Wolverhampton does not have much appeal (sorry)... I often go to Birmingham for shopping etc. and I get a small glimpse of the hub bub, but it's just not the same. I haven't visited New York since 2010! That was my first visit and currently my last... I just want to be able to discover the bright lights again and live that dream, I would love to work there some day... I'm not sure what excites me so much about the city... But I do get a burst of happiness when I think about it... I just hope that my dream will soon come true. 

And there is a very quality bad picture I took last time I was in NYC :)

Picture quote

I actually took the time to make this quote so I hope that you are proud :')

Feel free to Instagram this : )

Friends

I have a feeling this is going to be a long post... :/ (that's not a good thing)

So I'm not really sure where to start... But I am 14 and still at school. Friends are obviously a very important part of  life in and out of education. At primary school, life was pretty easy and I always had friends I could rely on... Not that a 7 year old really needs much support :'). But right now, friends help you go through the hardest part of your life and make sure you come out the other side...  This year, the classes have been moved around and I have had to settle into a different group of people. It has been quite hard to be honest, because some of the people in my class are quite frustrating, but the main problem is with the people outside my class. The thing that I am most upset about is that within the last 48 hours I have been woken up quite suddenly, to who are my fiends, if I even have any real ones... I have had one friend wrongly accuse me of bitching about her. While lying about who told her what happened. I have had 2 of my friends laugh at me. I have had 4 of my friends avoid me for no reason. I have found out that one of my friends has wrongly (again) accused me of sending hate messages to them and has now spread rumors about me. So all in all I have had a pretty sh*t 2 days. 

The main thing that I have realised, is that however hard you try to be nice to someone, and however much you value them, you can easily be nothing to them. So boys and girls! Just make sure that in your lifetime, you do not let anyone push you around, not value you or not believe you! Ok? 

That was quite depressing tbf. But my friends are the only thing I really like about school. And I don't want another 2 years of this thank you 

Hi Tanya

Hi Tanya. Your the only person I know who actually reads my blog... So I thought I'd say hello :) #shoutoutteam #favouritenigerian hope you actually read this :') x ohh and that's you > 

I have a dream... 💛

Everybody has a dream, however big or small it is, how ever young or old you are... You could be a child dreaming of being a fairy princess, or an old lady dreaming of going to heaven...
Dreams are important because if we didn't have them, then we would have no hopes and have nothing to strive towards. I would just like to share my dream...

I have a short term dream and a long term dream...
My short term dream is to save up £1000 and buy myself a macbook. This may sound simple, but i am not just trying to follow the crowd and get every apple product a valuable, instead I am going to use the software to the extreme and create my own YouTube channel. This will not be my 'job' but my 'hobby' . This will happen. And once it has I will be able to tick a very large box off my 'things to do list'
My second dream is my life plan. I have absolutely no idea what career path I will choose, which worries me in all honesty! But I do know that I would love to do something which expresses my creativity... (Whether that would tie in with my short term dream I am not sure!) but whatever job I have, I know that I want to be successful. This word describes most peoples perfect lifestyle, but there is a reason for that... So I want to be able to buy my own house, I want to be able to treat myself, but aslong as I have worked for my money, and therefore my dream, there would be nothing else I would ask for! I want to be able to travel, and to be free, to wake up one morning in the Cotswolds countryside, and the next in the buzzing heart of New York City.

Dreams are what you make of them ✌️

P.s. If anyone actually read this... :') then can you tell me which macbook I should get because I'm not sure. Lul.

Christmas is coming!

Agghhh! I sound like a 2 year old when I remind people if this, but Christmas is coming! I love Christmas, and not just because of the presents... I just love all of the festive decorations etc. and spending time with the family... Although I sort of denyed it earlier... The presents are a very big bonus... And I've been making my Christmas list for a few weeks now... I'm really not sure what I want since there are loads of things #spoiltchild.  It is 94 days until Christmas btw.,, :D

200...

I rescently reached 200 page views! So thank you every one who has visited this page... It really means a lot and you don't go unnoticed... That's probably nothing in the sceme of things, but considering I haven't advertised... I think it's ok :) adiós x

I've been thinking...

So I guess that I have never really posted anything personal on here, to be honest, I did not plan to at all, I mean, there was no intention since this blog is not under my name anyway... But since I have been finding it hard to show/share my emotions recently, I thought this might be a way to do so...  

I am hardly going through some kind of crisis :') but I have been thinking quite hard lately about things and as a person I have realised that I am sort of too nice. This will make people instantly think that I am cocky but I did not mean that to sound bigheaded in anyway. I don't mean that I am nice as in a perfect person... But I am far too forgiving. I can assure you that what ever you do/say to me. I will forgive and forget within hours. This makes me a very vulnerable person and I need to change this! I don't let people manipulate me, but while people are manipulating others around me, It makes me look like a weaker person. So although I grew up being told to 'be best version of your self' and 'play nicely'. Being nice really doesn't help. So you know what, be an absolute bitch if you want to. I have learnt this over the last few days. sometimes if you play nice, you lose. ✌Peace out 

Just smile...

So in all honesty, I actually made this blog because I wanted to find a way to express my happiness... I am not some kind of person who is immune to sadness, and nobody is! But I want this to be a blog where people can just read it and maybe feel a bit more positive? Anyway, I have just tried to avoid putting depressing/deep paragraphs on here because after typing them out. I clock on to the fact that nobody really wants to hear it..! So I am trying not to let this post get too depressing either. But I am just trying to get across the point that being positive about things really helps! That's all!

Pretty bows 🎀

So I am still at school and it is currently my summer holiday! It has been very fun and relaxing and I have truly enjoyed it, but at times I have gotten a bit bored... I do not really have any time consuming hobbies that I am devoted to, but I am a very creative person and always have been! Now that I am older, I have become more interested in beauty etc. (as most teenagers do) and I suppose this post encorpurates both my creativity and interest in typical girlie things!

 So this is a hairstyle that I really like! I think it is really cute, and pretty easy to do! Because I am not very good at explaining things just in words :') and I do not have any step by step pictures, I will direct you to a YouTube video that explains very well how to do this! (I must include that the video is not my own, but the picture is) hehe 🎀 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IUGFNMhFu4k

Long time no... Post

Well i am very sure I have no massive audience, in fact I would be surprised if I had one at all! But that is not what I am trying to get to... I have not updated/posted anything on my blog for some months now, infact, I seemed to make it and then only use it for about a week. This was because I realised that my blog was far too bland, and there was no real point to it! Over the last few weeks, I have realised that a few of my friends have blogs, and (although I have not told them about mine) it inspired me to update mine and post something! I also realised that having a blog that covered lots of different areas is not 'bland' but somewhat 'versatile' I also then clocked onto the fact that there are not people 'subscribed' to my blog so therefore no one would mind if the posts were a bit off subject! Anyway, I would just like to say thanks for reading as I am surprised anyone's attention span lasted that long :)

Pamper yourself!

So this isn't really a shop or clothing range at all, but i have to admit how much i like cosmetics. i shop at boots a lot and they have LOADS of different cosmetic brands... i have always liked soap and glory since i was little.. but it was mainly because of their amazing puns on all of their products. Now i actually use the products because i like them which is good! In boots they have a sale on at the moment so go and look! Their products are great for when you have a free evening and you just want to be pampered! Watch the video below by 'Zoella' i love her youtube channel and this video is great for some relaxing 'me time'. ;) 

Topshop?

Ok... so as i said, my blog is going to contain all of my favorite brands & products and a shop/brand that i'm a bit in love with at the moment is TOPSHOP. I've been shopping there for a while now, but it has only been recently that iv'e got to really like it. They always have nice things which are quite good value. But what caught my eye the other day was this denim backpack. It's only £34.00 which isn't too bad considering... i really like the 'giraffe' print too but let me know what you think of it before i decide to buy it or not xx

Hey there!

Hi! so my name is Charlotte... I've been putting off the idea of making a blog for a while now... I wanted to do one so i could share all of my thoughts and interests with everyone else! i love talking to people so i guess this is a way to talk to a lot of people all at once?!?! So anyway, this blog is going to include my favorite products of the month etc. my favorite clothes and all of the things i love! It's a bit of a wishlist to myself so i can share all of the things that have caught my eye recently... If you like the idea then keep reading but if you don't then sorry :( and... err... bye xxx
