it always rains the hardest on the people who deserve the sun...♥




I haven't posted in a while coz I've been kinda busy and well, didn't really feel like hahaa. Ughhh lately I've been fighting with myself to stay positive and never think of the negative but it's the hardest thing to do..ever! Ok I have to say that I've succeeded most of the time and I'm so proud of that, really :D Buuuut, imagine when you're trying to do this sooo hard, and then all of a sudden you talk to someone (no actually THEY talk to you coz I dont even really know this person!) and tells you the words which you'd least want to hear and then I find it even worse to stay positive and to get over it and no one can seem to understand you..you just have to do it all by yourself :( Life is just so hard sometimes and I feel like no sense of belonging..at all. But then again, there are SO many people out there who have much more complicated lives and problems and all I can say to myself 'its gonna be okay' :)

So today I decided to go for a nice walk alone listening to some music and try to clear my mind and just relax and yes, it does work :) I took a picture of the beautiful sunset while walking with my mobile soo not the best quality..



Me and mum we've been trying out various types of milk to replace dairy (which I never take) and soya milk coz those two arent really good for you, even though you might think so!
So basically these are what we tried out till now and I seriously and addicted to them they're sooo..yummyy :)
1. Hazelnut Milk (my absolute fav! Number 1 on the list:)
2. Almond Milk
3. Sesame Milk (this is soo healthy! Best source of calcium!)
4. Spelt Milk
now the next one to try will be Rice Milk. If someone's interested on how to do any of them, just leave a comment and I'll tell you ;) they're veryyy easy!


I've lately been into Bohemian Hairstyles moslty due to the fact that I don't really like my bangs anymore soo its a nice and easy way to style your hair in seconds! :)




That's all for today! Busy week ahead...my LAST week of summer holidays, then I'll start Uni nooooooooo :(

Anywayyy bye byees tc and always keep this in mind :

LOVE- rather than hate
SMILE - rather than frown
BUILD- rather than to tear down
PERSEVERE -rather than give up
PRAISE - rather than gossip
HEAL - rather than wound
GIVE - rather than than get
ACT - rather than delay
FORGIVE - rather than judge
PRAY - rather than despair :)

☯ ☯ The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do ♔ ♔

Firstly, as you already noticed I made some 'dramatic' change to my blog. I like it better this way..very simple :)

Anywayy let's start from somewhere..so yesterday I came across this great blog post by Kandee Johnson the amazing make up artist from YouTube and I really love it and helped me alot! I thought I should share some parts of it here.

How to Have a Perfect Life:


#1. Realize that Perfect Doesn’t Work


Why Perfect doesn’t work?

Perfect isn’t real. Tv shows are fake. Reality shows are fake. And as much as movies and celebrities make it seem that life is perfect, but ours are horrible, yuck lives, it’s not true.


It’s so easy to expect “perfect” from people and life. We didn’t get the perfect answer from our boyfriend or mom. We didn’t get the “perfect body” after taking the “magic pill” that some celebrity said is their “trick” to staying thin. We didn’t have a pack of “the bachelors” chasing us after we sprayed the new “attraction” perfume on. We didn’t get picked to win the contest that we wanted to win so bad.


“DON’T TAKE LIFE SO SERIOUSLY, YOU’LL NEVER MAKE IT OUT ALIVE ANYWAY!”

HA HA HA HA HA HA




#2. Stop Being a Prisoner to Perfection


My name is Kandee Johnson, and I used to be a perfectionist.


Yes, I was paralyzed by decision making. “What if I don’t make the perfect choice!” “I can’t buy the black shoes, what if I realize I wanted grey!”...”I just won’t type a blog, because what if type a dumb one.”

Or people would say,”what do you feel like eating?”, and I would default to them, “oh whatever sounds good”, YAY! Then I didn’t have to deal with the stress of picking something out. If it was gross, it wasn’t my fault! ha ha ha


I’ve since learned:

*prepare for mistakes and imperfection

the sooner you do the happier you’ll be.

*If you know stuff is gonna go wrong, things aren’t gonna play out like a dream or a movie all the time,the more peaceful you'll be when they do go a little of plan!

*Prepare yourself, and just roll with the changes. It’s better to be the willow that bends in the wind, than the stiff tree that snaps and breaks in the breeze!

Don’t break, just bend!

LIFE IS 10% HOW YOU MAKE IT......

AND 90% HOW YOU TAKE IT.

#3. IMPERFECT IS HOW WE BECOME GREAT


Pearls are made from some dirt (garbage) that’s gotten trapped in an oyster. As it’s trying to deal with this “problem”, it gets turned into a beautiful pearl. Same thing with diamonds, from all the incredible pressure, the carbon get “uncomfortably” turned into something so valuable and sparkling, that people pay huge amounts to gaze as these and delight in the beauty of their twinkle.


My life has been events that have caused my mirror to shatter, but as I’ve picked up the broken pieces of my life, all those little shattered parts give off more sparkle, shine and light than before when it was more “perfect”!


If you feel that your life, your choices, the people are you, your home, your job, anything is far from perfect. Say YAY! I’m in great company. The most incredible people have come out of things that were far from perfect.


So you didn’t have the dream start to things: your first day of school, making your dreams happen, you can’t find that darn soul mate of yours anywhere, you can’t seem to get your life going how you want. It’s ok. I’ve been in more imperfect situations, houses, relationships (i could go on)...but in all those moments, I said “this is going to make me better, stronger, and more able to endure the challenges that greatness requires.


Remember you are like a precious pearl or diamond.....out of adversity comes the most priceless gems! You are a priceless gem!


4. YOU’RE NOT IN A DARK CAVE OF HOPELESSNESS, BUT A TUNNEL WITH A BRIGHT ENDING.



“DARK MOMENTS ARE SHORT HALLWAYS, LEADING TO SUNLIT ROOMS!”


Sometimes it feels like we’re in a dark cave, with no signs of hope, or an exit, but life is not a cave, but a tunnel. And at any moment, that tunnel can take a quick turn, where you can’t see the light yet, but as soon as you keep going, you see the rays of light and hope showing you the way to go.


REMEMBER:

LOVE- rather than hate

SMILE - rather than frown

BUILD- rather than to tear down

PERSEVERE -rather than give up

PRAISE - rather than gossip

HEAL - rather than wound

GIVE - rather than than get

ACT - rather than delay

FORGIVE - rather than judge

PRAY - rather than despair


So today its been a pretty busy day again. In the morning I went to do some chores with my brother in my town and when I came home I started to do my flyers (to promote, for work) so I'll go and send them tomorrow first thing in the morning. I managed to do about 70! That's not a lot but it's definitely a start. I also promoted some on facebook and well, it's working a bit :) We'll see..I still need some more time to learn more about all this. Anyway then after doing my flyers which took alooot of time to do them and plan the best way to be you know "attractive".

I saw this cutest little kitten on a tree and couldn't get down. Thank God a van stopped and this man climbed on his van and bought this kitten down. He was sooo small and I just wanted to keep him forever but we already have one soo two would be too much :( So we took him in our house, gave him some milk and fish. Then we took him in a safe public garden with some other cats. I so miss him already :/ My sister managed to take a pic of him:



Then for training for work for 3 hours and I met some new great people there :) Now tomorrow in the morning I have to send the flyers and go to my grandparents' house to help them clean the house etc.. and on sunday I have to wake up veryyyy early because I have a promotion to do (my second job) in Gozo

( an island very close to Malta)

at 8am i.e I'll probably have to wake up around 5.30am!

Last thing... you haveee to listen to this from Alexander Wang Fall 2010 FS..loooove it:

Anywayy that's all for now..off to bed I'm soo tired :) bye byeee x
