Let's Chat!

Hey guys, I have a few things I want to chat about and instead of squeezing them into the outro of my next post, I decided to do a whole post just chatting. Stick around to the end for some cool news that involves you.

First of all I was very busy last week, I went to camp from Tuesday to Thursday. That was super fun, I went down the one of the longest hydroslides in the world and I went down I flying fox. I am scared of heights so activities like rock climbing and abseiling were a challenge but I had a lot of fun, it's funny how you end up enjoying the scary things the most. Me and my friend Lexie have concluded that it's because you get an adrenaline rush.

I have also been planning on changing my blog URL for quite some time, here are some ideas:

smileycentrallife.blogspot.com

smileycentralinspiration.blogspot.com

If you have any other ideas, please tell me in the comments. I would really like to hear you ideas.

The last thing is that you have a chance to guest post on my blog. If you email me HERE with your idea for the post so thst we can talk about it. I don't want you to put in a lot of effort writing a post and not have it posted anyway so I would prefer it if you could just email me the idea. I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks for listening to my ramblings. Byeeeeeeeeeeee!

#FindingYourself - Episode 5, Series 2 | Give Yourself Praise

It's easy to get caught up in pushing ourselves and forget to reward ourselves for achieving amazing things. We need to teach ourselves to praise ourselves, even over small achievements. At the start of the day or week, set yourself a goal, if you achieve it, reward yourself with a pleasureable activity. If you don't achieve your goal, don't beat yourself up, you can achieve tomorrow's goal.

New Shoes

Hey guys! Yesterday I went to town with my Mum. We spent some time together and I also got three pair of shoes. We have been meaning to get some shoes for a few months and I am growing so fast that I can barely fit into my sneakers anymore. I have taken some pictures and I am ready to do one of my first beauty related posts. (All of the prices are in New Zealand Dollars)

Okay, I'm going to get the boring ones out of the way first. These are leather roman sandals for school. I got them from Number One Shoes. I think these are around the $25 - $35 mark.

These jandals are also from Number One Shoes and they were about $15. I love the strawberry print and little strawberry one the strap!

These jellies are also from Number One Shoes and they were $7 or $8! I have always wanted a pair of jellies but I keep forgetting to look for them. Now I have a pair that I got for a low price, YAY!

Got to go to bed now, byeeeeeee!

#FindingYourself - Episode 4, Series 2 | Sorry

Sorry.

One word that can make a big difference. It can be hard to admit that you are wrong but you are not always going to be right.  When you mucked up or said something you didn't mean, apologize. Even if you think you are right, end the arguement and say sorry. Forget your pride. Being a good friend is more important. Be the bigger person and say sorry.

Thank You and New Art

I haven't posted in over three weeks. Instead of saying sorry, I want to thank you. Thank you for sticking around and still commenting. Thank you for being so patient. Thank you for doing your best to understand what I'm going through. THANK YOU!

Yesterday I started drawing a character in my sketch pad. I was getting extremly frustrated with drawing her because the drawing is a close up of her face and I am not that great with faces but thanks to Pinterest tutorials, I did it. Today I inked her. WARNING: I accidentally gave her fake eyelashes when inking her, that was not the plan but I think it looks okay.

Here she is! She looks more bold in real life.

I like her but I don't know what to call her. If you have any ideas tell me in the comments section. I will literally take anything.

In other news I am going to TRY to post everyday. Yes, you heard right - EVERYDAY. If there is anyone that I will stop procrastinating for, it's you guys. I'm going to hurry up and post this before I delete this paragraph and change my mind! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
