I just got a comment from Lauren telling me that I've reached 100 followers on Bloglovin'!!!

I'm honestly so happy right now, thank you! When I started this blog, I never thought anyone would read it, let alone actually follow me! I'm honestly so grateful for all of you as you make blogging so much more fun, every comment, follow and view makes me super happy because whatever I'm saying is getting out there and is being read! I love talking to you guys and it's so nice to see what you have to say about what I'm writing about!

P.S. Did anyone else watch Sherlock last night?! I'm SO HAPPY with how they did that episode, definitely the best one of this series! They better not leave us waiting for series 4 for very long or I might explode!

It's not everyday you fangirl with your teacher...

Today has been an odd day. I set my alarm earlier than I thought I had so I ended up having loads of time to get ready this morning which was lovely! It also meant that I got to spend more time choosing what to wear and putting my make up on so I was happy with everything!

For my make up, I used Max Factor whipped creme foundation in Natural, Urban Decay eyeshadows in Drink Me, Eat Me and Mad Hatter from the Alice in Wonderland eyeshadow palette, Ruby & Millie blusher (don't know the name as from an old palette), Benefit BadGal Lash mascara and L'Oreal Rouge Caresse lipstick in Lovely Rose.
Vest is old from Next and the cardigan is from Crew. 

I get in to college half way through lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I tend to take a walk by the river because it puts me in a good mood and today I got to feed some ducks and geese which was really lovely as I haven't done that for quite a while!

In Classics, we watched The Big Lebowski which was a really odd but funny film, it's a shame we didn't get to see how it ended though! 

In English, we had a quiz in the last half of the lesson which was really fun, our team came second by half a point! One of the questions was "Who lives at 221B Baker Street?" and someone didn't know! Me and my teacher were completely shocked because we just assumed it was common knowledge. We ended up fangirling over the imminent return of Sherlock in the New Year and it's made me even more excited because now I get to talk to her about it when we come back for the Spring term!

I love the end of term as the lessons are always so relaxed with minimal work which is great fun! There is also nearly always food involved which is also great!

How have the last few days been for you guys?

P.S. Thank you to all of my new followers, I'm one away from 50 now and I've reached 60 on my Bloglovin so I'm really excited and happy that there are so many more of you reading! 

GFC returns!

I feel a bit silly because this morning, GFC started working again so apparently you're now able to follow people again using it! 

I reached 50 Bloglovin followers yesterday so thank you for that, it put a huge smile on my face thinking that 50 people actually read my blog!

RIP GFC.

I woke up this morning and had a quick look at my stats from the day before as I always do. I'd gained a few followers thanks to the 2014 Blogger Challenge (thank you and hello to all of my new followers!) so I had a quick check to see if that had changed too when I realised my followers weren't loading on my page! A quick check around confirmed my suspicions; Google have finally taken down Google Friend Request, a sad day for everyone. However, there is luckily an alternative way to follow me if you wish to do so! 

BLOGLOVIN'!

If you click the link above, you can follow me and you can set it so you get an email whenever I post something new! I follow pretty much everyone back so you will most likely gain a follower too!

Fears and communication.

I had a blood test done this morning...it didn't go well. I'm diabetic but I have a massive fear of needles. Ironic, I know. I get quite stressed out about having my blood taken but today my blood sugar went too low half way through and it ended up that I was shaking so much that the nurse had to stop half way through doing it because she physically couldn't get any more blood out...fun. I almost fainted and felt really sick so in the end she let me go with only half of it done. 

It stressed me out loads and I've not been feeling right the whole day. I feel so drained and tired and also quite sick so I've been curled up in my favourite comfy lounge trousers since I returned from college, looking for more blogs to follow. I've found some really gorgeous blogs and some really lovely people who have kindly followed me back and commented on posts which had cheered me up a lot.

I love finding new blogs and new people to talk to, you never know who you will meet with just a few lines on a post of theirs and a click of the 'publish' button! Talking to new people is one of my favourite things to do because 99% of the time, bloggers are the loveliest people you will meet and real life people are pretty nice most of the time too as long as you make the effort. 

I always make sure I talk to people that comment on my posts because I don't want to give the impression of being distant! The amount of bloggers that I see ignoring their commenters and followers confuse me, I don't understand why people wouldn't want to reply to someone that obviously decided to bridge the distance and attempt to communicate with them! Every time I've spoken to a blogger, it's always been great and I actually now have a great real-life friend from blogging so it works out well quite a lot of the time!
