Dear Reader,
So Fake nails have been around for a while, dipping in and out of fashion, most women I think have had some experience with them...They are horrendous! Yes. The dress up your hands and make you look like you have your life together but do you? No. But let's talk about Acrylics they seem to be most popular...
So what I'm receiving from the internet regarding acrylic nails is that they are rock hard, a bulldozer got nothing on them, They are long-lasting and are excellent for formal occasions. I feel like this type of nail would be tougher to get off than handcuffs around your feet? A dungeon ball and chain. Yes I googled it...That'll look great in my search history "What's it called when an iron ball is attached to someone's foot?". Anyways We can imagine just how damaged your nails would look after...Okay you guys know me know not going to lie to you...there were worse pictures than this: Awful right?
They are absolutely horrific! Is it actually worth it? Having amazing, breath-taking nails for a month (how long do these fabulous pieces of plastic actually stay on for?!)to have to deal with poorly nails forever. Look at them, that cut with the blood makes you feel sick ( don't lie), imagine looking at that everyday! I'll leave you with that...

Dear Reader,
Homework (whether you are done with it or not) is so annoying! It's such a waste of time...we have six to seven hours of school five days a week. Then we have to come home and do at least forty minutes to an hour of homework? It can be SO much more! I have just finished six hours of homework...the day that is fair is the day our world dies. I am tired and frustrated but I guess it's done. It was purely awful but you don't want to hear about that!
So you know when you have big project due and you spent hours and hours on it...you hand it in. Then the teacher spends thirty five minutes shouting at you saying you did it the night before and you must have only worked on it for ten minutes...I stand there in pure wonder. Why don't they ever appreciate it? They don't seem to ever see anything you have done as worth anything better than a penny. Do they ever peer at the worked pieces of paper and think " It may not be the best piece of work but he/she has obviously worked really hard. So I'm going give them an A or whatever". Let's be real teachers aren't designed to think like that...grandmothers are though!
You know when you look on at a piece of homework and think "I'll just get a snack and do it" but then it's like five hours later and you feel totally depressed. I mean hardly any of us are total nerds and do it all in a snap! More likely we do it at three am just in time.
Let's talk about those teachers who literally assume we don't have social lives and give us more question or sheets than f*cking days in the week! I'm sure even the geeky kids spend at least an hour playing Call of Duty or something...Everyone spends some time doing something else except school. Right? Like: " Ok, class write this in your planners: Do questions : 3-5 they have 45 parts each" because that's not depressing if anything it's uplifting now you can go home and spend nineteen hours doing homework instead of eating, drinking, exercising, going out, seeing friends forget that sh*t! You need to let it go it's over you don't even have time to build a snowman! It's on the verge of slavery, not really...but I know that you know what I mean! Right! Or am I on my own here? Probably...to be fair...

Dear readers,
Today I'm blogging about users and abuser and let's first all admit together, we have that one friend who is basically using them , we know this but we just...oblige? That person who you weren't that closes with and they got closer...and closer...until you're pretty much best friends. Initially it's only that odd thing, right? Can you pick me up this or can you do that, of course being their friend you may choose to do whatever. But it increases...and increases.....and increase and before you know they depend on you for everything, you find yourself worrying about them as if they are your child...bit said really? Don't worry I am also a victim! Don't stress, you are never the only one. <3
Chances are the person will have you and another best friend who doesn't get used. They will be the number one and you are left doing everything! This is one of the very obvious signs you are being used. One of the first you can spot but significant others will probably have spotted it and gently hinted. Can you do my coursework I'm going somewhere with whoever the other best friend is. At this point, they rely on you and you are too caring and nice to that person...Time to learn to change this.
Let's start with what you SHOULD NOT do : never confront them out front "why are you using me?" first, the other best friend will probably say something and so will the user. They will deny everything and say you said you would do it . What I would advise doing is learn to say no to things you don't have time to do, followed up with the things you don't want to do, and then finally inspire them to do all the things you do for them. If they are your friend, they won't give a damn and that defines friendship...but that's for another time...perhaps?

Dear readers,
Today I am blogging about old songs (old time favourites)! We all know that feeling when we are just casually surfing on You Tube and we come across an older song. We remember it and we love it... but when you click play! You fall in love once again instantly remembering all the things you love about it. Personally that's where I buy it and listen to it maybe ninety more times and then get bored.
But then you have those even older "legend" songs... you know what I am talking about: I will survive ( Gloria Gaynor) , Ain't no mountain high enough ( Sister Act Two ( I think?)) and Eye of the tiger ( Survivor) they just don't age do they? But the you're like jamming out like a 1970's superstar and someone come over and says "what are you listening too?" this....is where I go beetroot red and hide my phone. Am I right? Do you do this? Then everyone thinks its really dirty when really its about Gloria Gaynor's sour divorce or breakup or ( a little bit newer (just twenty years)) its about Willow Smith's hair whipping back and forth.
Then most people will try and see your phone and then you're struggling and probably making a scene in my case. If they see they are either going to laugh and call you an old aged pensioner or join in with you ... and sometimes its very close! Watching their face change ultimately reacting...it's like judgement day. Trust me no-one will forgot...ever.
I'm really apprehensive about this happening...again. So I'm always covering my phone as if I'm watching nasty videos or listening to dirty music videos. I must look like a weirdo...random figure in the corner of a bus just like " If you come any nearer *creepy laugh* I kill you!" You know you said that in a weird voice , don't lie to yourself!

Dear readers,
Eyebrows are very odd things...they are basically hair or eyelashes on your face. What are they even for? Ok...*googling* to prevent sweat, water or debris getting in your eye. Eyebrows also tell us a lot about a person.
If someone has delicate thin , elegant eyebrows that could imply they are quite feminine or have a lot of self-pride. But if someone has unruly, thick eyebrows that could suggest they have no self-pride , they are homeless or even that they aren't very social.Hairs on your face can tell us so much about a person , but one thing I will never understand is why people shave their eyebrows and draw them on.
We all know drawn eyebrows are fake and don't look remotely real , to be honest well-kept natural eyebrows are so much better and less harsh. Eyebrows are hardly ever anyone's best feature why would you want to attract someone's eyes to it. Imagine you have piercing blue eyes and your eyeliner is on point right? And someone comes up to you and says " oh, your eyebrows are nice what eyebrow pencil do you use?"...
Furthermore you know when you haven't done your brows for a while and you look like big foot...it's not half hard to get the beasts looking normal. First you have to tweeze them and that really hurts and you sit there wincing. Then you have to shape them with a natural brow pencil until they are acceptable. Then comes the brow gel and comb...There could be more but I have no idea as I am not an avid "Eyebrow groomer" sounds like an occupation ...probably is.

Dear readers ,
Today we talk about sleepovers! First of all, why re they called sleepovers I sleep about four hours top on them! Also mostly (if the sleepover is not just you and your best friend) you usually end up bitching on every girl you know. You wouldn't usually but...what's said at sleepovers ,stays at sleepovers...right? Not likely , there is ALWAYS a "mole" or whatever. It always, always gets out when there is a huge secret! Every one regrets what they say and on Monday or whenever you meet again...It's going to be awkward.
Also if you don't like the food, you have to deal with it for at least three meals if not more. If the food does not agree with your stomach, you will probably get very sick very quickly. That won't just embarrass you, or whoever is the host it will be their parents and your parents as well. You can't reject it very easily to be fair. It isn't polite so you have to suffer but I suggest only eating half of the food given and yes you will be hungry for ne meal but they will get the message. Change the food a little for you , maybe?
Imagine If you went to someone's house for a sleepover and you thought you knew them really well, but you walk into where they live, something clicks...you have nothing in common. You are in their house...following their rules...Nothing in common with your "friend"...It's a living nightmare let's face it. It would be so awkward especially their parents were trying so hard , desperately hard...and it wasn't working. You have to sit for hours on end doing next to nothing.
But sometimes they are really fun and an excellent idea! You grow path ways with your friends and you excel closer together. There will be a stronger bond between you and you will have all those memories to cherish forever!

Dear readers,
Today I am blogging about dog fur! If you have a dog, you probably know what I am saying? My adorable Shih Tzu ( shit-zoo)
sheds fur like...I don't know? Trees shed leaves in autumn? Yes, I'm good at English! ;) If you don't stop vacuuming even for ten minutes, you have a home FULL of fur. I have allergies to fur and though I put up with it, I don't appreciate the noise , the smell, or the appearance of my trousers.
Also you can constantly see tufts of fur everywhere! It stinks to high heaven and it's constant. There's always that underlying stench of dog and as much as we love our dog or other furry friends...It's just a bit intense. Maybe I'm exaggerating , actually no...no I'm not . I think we look over this because we love them but it doesn't matter how many time we wash them... they never ever lose the distasteful odour.
Dogs have to be washed...right? So what? We wash them in the bathes? Or a dog bathes...Do any of you own dog bathes? It takes so long to get our puppy in the bath and he is covered in mud. Stinks, branches in his fur...the whole lot. But you can't just wash the dog, no! You have to wash the bath, the bathroom AND if you didn't carry your dog, like if you have a bigger dog, you'll be cleaning the stairs. So much work! We'd have to love our dogs...

Dear reader,
Today I'm blogging about my feet which are kind of sensitive, dancer feet? Aren't dancer feet meant to be strong? Well.....I'm messed up...Whenever I do exercise that my feet don't agree with. They collapse on me! It might take me like two full days to recover and for them to collect strength, totally healed. I can't even walk properly on them and it happens so often no-one really shows much sympathy anymore but it hurts just as much the first time as it does the eighth time. I don't really think people understand how much my feet ( which are permanently bruised to be honest ) hurt.
I might dance for at least one hour and a half every day and with bruised feet! It's not even real, how much pain I have to go through just to finish a practise. Tap , modern, ballroom you name it I am doing or have done it in the past( no guarantees ;)). To dance almost to perfection, to have all that pressure or just attempting to try a new step...all fine except when your feet give up on you !
It's almost like " Bye! see you next week and enjoy the bruises until I come back!" Oh! It's the bane of my life! All though some people have heavier crosses to bare, this is one of mine and I use my feet for everything! So do you! Walking , dancing, jogging, running and many more amazing things we are all capable of! But that's for another blog post maybe! Comment down below if you want me to!
When I recover I usually stay in bed, or mooch around, I know I shouldn't! But I do and I heal up , which is all well and good unless you go out and buy biscuits or sweets, which you will undoubtedly eat and gain calories you can't possibly burn. I am guilty of this so I will be the first to say " I need to stop ... I don't know? Treat-eating I guess! I put on weight, not much, but it must build up? Right . Again this is for another blog post possibly?

Dear readers,
Today I'm blogging about drawing, but specifically when you draw like in school or college and someone can see your drawing. All you think about is " OMG! What does she or he think? I can't see their face. Oh dear! They hate it! It's rubbish!" don't lie to me! If they comment something like "What is it?", you are basically crushed...but if they say something like "OMG! I didn't know you could draw, that's really good!" you are raised up to the highest height.
If they don't like it, you probably will never draw in more public areas again! I think if you enjoy doing something, then do it! Don't bother with what other people think they are not really your peers, especially those that are not as good at art! If you want to do it then don't let anyone tell you not to and if they don't like it then that's their problem! You should embrace what you want to do, and if that means people around you are insulting you then maybe you should go make some new friends.
If they like it, great! Keep doing what you enjoy and don't be afraid to show people what you are capable of and never be afraid to try something new! Keep practising what ever genre of art it is, then you will improve and be proud of yourself! Another comment to add is drawing, in my opinion, is very satisfying when you reach your targets. But don't make them so high you have no chance of achieving them...little steps will get you where you want to be!
I hope this has been enlightening for some of you and I hope you enjoyed.

Dear readers,
Today I'm blogging about starting something new! This is a small example...I guess... but it happened today! I am learning taekwondo as you might already know and I have to start going to the adult classes...I am the youngest...the smallest...the weakest (pretty much). I walked in. I knew no-one. I look around anxiously and I'm was there like oh my gosh...what am I going to do? Such relief when the instructor announce we ere starting.
The funny thing is when you move up, you are kind of not treated as a child anymore! As obvious as that sounds! No-one gets told off, no-one is told to sit down , no-one shouts or needs the toilet and that makes the actual learning and training so much easier. You are at peace with what you are doing and you have more responsibility to get it right. I found myself getting it right so much more, my balance was so much better; that's my biggest flaw some would say!
Furthermore I have to try SO much harder to not be seen as the weakest or the one that doesn't try as hard. Even though realistically you are probably the weakest and probably the youngest ... don't worry! There is usually that guy or girl who really shouldn't be there because they are so lazy and they just don't care at all? If this is you...Why?!? Why would you do something you loath so much or just can't be bothered? I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU'RE WAY OF THINKING! I guess sometime it could be peer pressure for you're parents , teachers or friends but really? And usually that person has been doing whatever it is for like? I don't know seven to eight years! That's A LOT of time wasted on something you are not putting you're heart into!
Before whatever you want to do starts, my advice would be to try talking to people or do something! Come in to it slightly later but initially avoid that awkward loner look...Sometime you can't and I understand if so... you will live to fight another day! Hopefully? But generally just enjoy it and learn from it because there was obviously something motivating you to go because you could just walk out the door! No-one is stopping you , and you choose to stay so you're obviously strong, smart and stealthy, standing there alone! To end it, just branch and try new things and never be afraid!!

Dear readers,
We all have to sleep at some point...right? Sleep is one of those things you cant really avoid for much time, just like taxes! Sleeping is also the most relaxing thing in the whole world? Everyone has to have a certain amount of hours sleeping: whether it be ten hours or six. I have to have about seven or eight hours sleeping otherwise I just don't function properly!
Some people hardly have to sleep an oh how I envy them! But some people have to have about twelve hours and this can control their whole life! I think I am about average to be honest. How long do you have to sleep for?
It also depends on where you're sleeping: If I am hot I won't want to sleep near a radiator and if I am cold I want a warm cosy bed! I will not sleep properly otherwise! What about you? Also what if something is on your mind and you can't really sleep? Well....you don't...do you? Or if you had a lot to do the next day, you are going to worry, aren't you?
Furthermore I know I could listen to music all night...and not sleep but who would suffer in the end ? Me. So what is the point...of dying in the day to have relaxation at night. I know you're diet has a part in that but that's for next time maybe. Listening to music is a good method to fall asleep, but it needs to be on a low volume, only in one ear and to have a playlist of songs you enjoy for maybe thirty to sixty minutes depending on what you're designated time for sleeping.
Another good method of sleeping or trying to sleep is to just close your eyes and "will" yourself to sleep ...almost? If you understand what I am trying to say. Just think of a happy memory or a boy/man or girl/lady you've got a crush on or fancy a little bit and imagine your first date. It usually does the trick! Maybe evaluate you're day and think about everything you did and what you are doing tomorrow! Are there any methods you use to fall asleep? Comment down below.

Dear readers,
So...I'm guessing most of you like Disney, right? I know I could watch it for hours ( if I ever found the time!)...I am especially a big fan of Pocahontas because it is a little different because she was the only princess to not have a happy ending. Does that make me weird ? Probably! Comment down below your favourite Disney Movie and why!
I'm also a huge fan of Disney songs, most of them are absolutely amazing! They seem to really declare a special message ( most of the time) whether it be listen to your heart or you need to be one jump ahead of everyone else! They are also good audition pieces or concert pieces because among the classics ( The Lady in Red , Fields of Gold etc.) there lies Disney, that's what I think. From Snow White "I'm wishing " to Frozen "Let it go". I really like the songs in Mulan because ( like Frozen Kind of?) She didn't want a man , she could join the army on her own *man not needed*.She got married in the end I know, but she accomplished more beforehand ;).
If you had to be a Disney princess which one would you be? Food for thought there...I would probably be Elsa ( from Frozen and I know she's queen...) or maybe Rapunzel! Her hair is utterly brilliant ( even now it's cut... I guess she could grow it back?) and Elsa has the most powerful voice ever ( I know it was Idina Menzel who voiced her) and she has power over ice and snow! Rapunzel probably has the kinder nature but she needed a man hmmmmmmmmm....Elsa didn't need a man but I don't think she is as nice to be honest!

Dear Readers,
Today I'm blogging about when you have things stolen either from your car or your house. It is terrifying! Never mind the actual items that are stolen , the actual notion of someone in your car or house. It is almost like their ghost is there watching...spooky! Especially if they have rummaged around as well.
But seeing your car smashed open, seeing the broken glass (if any). Then you look inside to confirm you worst fears...You can't stop shaking with deep fear almost because you know they are gone but you are like scarred...for life then. It's not ever JUST annoying , it's petrifying.
Our friend made the comment "It was probably the gypsies down the road" . I had so much respect for their culture and them as a race of people but now....knowing it was probably them that stole my possessions even though they have enough money to support themselves. They have jobs, they don't need my personal luxuries. I didn't stop shaking until maybe ... two days after possibly?
Imagine if you knew someone was in your house and you knew what they were looking for...Your technology or family heirloom. You can call the police but are you prepared to basically go and defend your home against a burglar. You know nothing about them? You could wait in daring silence or try to escape but you are petrified you can't move. Relief once they are gone but until then...sheer terror runs by your face every moment...whether it be forever or a minute.
Furthermore after they have gone and the damage is done YOU have to clean up, see if anything was stolen. Pay for any damages and they could have (if they are lucky) got away with stealing you priceless belongings.
I feel very strongly about this case and if anyone would like to comment below please feel free :)
