2014 BLOGGER CHALLENGE- NEW YEARS INSPIRATION

Well it's officially begun, the 2014 Blogger Challenge! I am super excited to embark on this journey for 2014 and hope you are looking forward to it as well. If you are also a fellow participant just leave your blog link or your first post link in the comments and I will be more than happy to check it out. The first topic of the year is your New Years Inspiration which I am excited about because I love quotes and inspiring things.

I found this quote on Sweet Dreams Blog and I instantly fell in love with it. This quote represents having a fresh new start at the beginning the year. You start with blank pages and throughout the year you fill them with mental pictures and words that represent your year. By doing what you love and want, you are slowly filling in the 365 pages of your year. Each year comes with a brand new book to fill with love, memories and happiness so make the most of the year so you have 365 things to write or show in your book.

You may even take this a step further by actually having a book of 365 pages to represent your 2014 year. Each day get a picture from the day, a saying you read, a little blurb of your day, whatever you want to remember of that day and put it on a single page with the date. On December 31, 2014 you can look back on your year and think and wonder.

This quote says something, it tells us to make memories and not just be in the world. Don't sit around day after day staring at your t.v screen or phone screen, get out and do things and make special moments with people. But don't just fill your book with physical things you did, fill it with mind thing. Show your mental growth through the year, if your resolution is to be more confident then show your improvement of that and make sure your book has the day you became confident in it.

Your brand new book is a collection of your year long memories and personal growth, it tracks your goals and progress. By the end of the year if you can say your book has 365 things that truly mean something, then you can say you succeeded even if you didn't make all your goals. I don't mean you have to have a physical copy of your book but on December 31 think back on your days and make sure you're proud of every single day.

Heres to a wonderful year ahead!

CHRISTMAS EVE JOY!

Happy Christmas Eve my beautiful friends! I just wanted to wish you all a happy and safe Christmas Eve.  I also wanted to say thank you for all the supporters I have gained in the past 6 months of blogging. My goal is to get to 50 followers by 2014 and that's only 4 people away and I'm beyond excited. Blogging has been the best choice I have ever made and I wouldn't give it up for anything. 

Christmas is the season of giving so I want to remind you all that don't just focus on giving people material items but give people encouragement, love, respect and help. Take time out of your Christmas schedule to help people and make their day, trust me they will appreciate it. Say Merry Christmas to your neighbors, friends, family and even strangers.

Most importantly, take this time to be with your family and friends. Get off of social media and technology as a whole and just enjoy each others company. Don't take anything for granted and if you are a fellow blogger take the day off of the blog. Just spend time with your family, you can always post your Christmas outfit post on the 26th you're not going to die. Christmas is meant to be with the people you love not reading what other people are doing through a screen or writing to strangers what you wore. Please just do it, you'll enjoy Christmas a whole lot more!

Thanks a so much everyone. Merry Christmas Eve Everyone and talk to you tomorrow (maybe) for the last day of Blogmas.

A LITTLE TUESDAY INSPIRATION

Hello there my beautiful people! Sorry for the late post, but I got distracted by my design...AGAIN! But today I just wanted to share a little bit of Tuesday inspiration. It's almost half way through the week, you may need a little inspiration. 

       

I found this picture on WeHeartIt.com and I found it very true and inspiring. When people laugh at you for being different, you should laugh at them for all being the same and laughing at you. If the WHOLE school makes fun of you for doing something a little bit 'weird' or 'unusual' then all those people need to be laughed at because they are all following the same way as everyone else. I don't know about you but I'd rather be different and have 3 friends that accept me for me than 30 "friends" that only like me because I'm pretending to be something I'm not. 

If you follow in everyone's footsteps you may not be laughed at but you aren't being you and that feels worse than the meaningless peoples words. Being you is doing want YOU like, wearing what YOU want, saying what YOU feel and being who YOU want to be and become. If all your friends said they were going to take up drugs or alcohol or smoking and that's not what you want to do with your life but you went along with it because of your fear of being different, then you need to be laughed at by everyone. You need to be laughed at because you are being the same as everyone else and not being you. 

Society would be a hell of a lot different if we laughed at the people that followed and weren't being themselves. Everyone would actually have different interests and personalities unlike how it really is where you see a group of 5 girls or boys who dress, act, speak, look and breathe the same all because they are afraid of being different! If you are constantly caring about what people think and spend your whole life being someone you're not then you aren't really living at all, you are basically a dead person. 

Do you want to be dead? I didn't think so, so why would you spend your life pretending that your dead when you could be out there living your life how YOU want to, not how your best friends want to. Even if you are getting pressured to conform to other peoples opinions or actions, DONT! Walk away from the people pressuring you and step into your own life, your own world and think about who you want to be as a person and conform to THAT! Conform to your own vision of 'perfect' and you will be a hell of a lot happier. 

If it is the 'it' thing to wear red lipstick everyday but you HATE it, don't wear it! If twerking is the cool new dance but you find it repulsive and demeaning, then don't do it! If it's the cool thing to say YOLO but you find it to be the stupidest thing ever, don't say it! If it's cool to wear super short crop tops that are basically like a bra with super low rise short shorts but you find it disgusting and, excuse my language, slutty, then don't wear it! If there's a new kid at school and it's the 'thing' to throw god knows what at him/her but you find it absolutely rude and disrespectful, don't do it! Yeah people may call you a trader, boring, weird, loser or whatever but just say really? I'm the boring loser? You're the one following everyone and copying them! I'm just being me, sorry if that makes me a loser but I'd rather be me than someone like you anyday! 

Sorry I went on a very long rant but I just had a lot of thoughts on this subject. I hope you enjoyed and got somewhat inspired by this post. I really believe in this subject and I just want to get this message out there! Stay you! And Merry Christmas!

How to Find Confidence!

Hello my beautiful readers! Thank goodness it's Friday! How has your week been? Mine felt so long and tiring. Today's post is something a little different and I haven't done anything like this before. It's about confidence, more specifically how to be confident and be happy with yourself. Confidence is one of the main struggles girls or any teenager deals with, even grown women deal with it sometimes. I just want everyone to be confident and happy in their own skin.
