No Ctrl-Z :(

Life is tough. You can't make another first impression, you can't relive a fantastic moment that you want to last forever. You can't skip and fast-forward the bits you don't like. There is no Ctrl-Z. Nothing. The thing you do is move on. Only it's sometimes harder than you think it'll be...


This rollercoaster called "Life" will make you laugh, and it will make you cry. It'll be the hero in the fairytale, or sometimes the villain. So, you might say, Can I choose to get of that rollercoaster? The answer is a cold no. No. You just move on. You have to hold tight, and keep going.


There were times in life that my rollercoaster was upside down, in eternal loops, making me feel very dizzy. But I had to: I had to cope because I was strong. I knew I could, I just needed a bit more courage.


Hard times will always make you more hurt-proof. When your family decides to part, it's like the whole of your world crumbling. Living with family still makes you somewhat a child: you rely on them: the mood you have might be affected by it. So when it all ends, you have no idea where to go. I always imagined my family in the small percentage of couples who hadn't divorced, but oh well. You don't always get what you like.


You might think to yourself, Why me? Well, it's you. Sorry, but it's you.
It hurts, you have a feeling that your life is some kind of survival TV show. But it's not. It's your Life. And I must say that there were times that I absolutely hated karma, fate, destiny: everything that was planned for you in the heavens. I thought to myself: My life is like a really long sad song (hey, that rhymes (: ). So that also means I don't listen to sad songs anymore- it's a miracle if I make it to the end on the song without my mood suddenly dropping.


But then I thought about all the things that can also happen, even if one part of my life is not so much correct and how I wanted. As I said, you haven't always got the opportunity of picking your destiny.


So I moved on as it was. And now I have a blog! I have a blog! You have no idea how much better I feel, now that I have told you about this and everything that was bubbling up inside me. I was feeling really worried that no-one would read this blog, but I think a lot of people actually do :) Thank you all for being here and I hope this wasn't too serious for you ❤

All about people

Why not talk about people? The main thing that humans still can't get around to understanding.
You know when you look someone deep in the eyes and you think to yourself: "I totally don't get you". But that's alright, I believe that no-one was meant to understand their brothers and sisters, friends and family. That's the whole point of life- learning to communicate with each other even if every single one of us is completely different. Tough challenge, huh? I know. I will never understand some people in my life too, ever. Like the ones who have made the bad impact- for example O. I talked about her before I in my other posts- she had seemed a good choice at first, but now I'm happy she isn't in my life anymore: all she did was make me feel bad and told me she was the best at everything and her sister and me had to be her followers: and she still does- manipulates people. It was alright for me at first to just follow everything she had said and everything she told me to do was holy, but I had gained the courage to stand up for myself and to live a life of my own. Wow, I made it so dramatic, I didn't actually mean to be so serious :D Just, never mind- O is the past and not the future. Just like this quote: "Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future" -Paul Boese
I love this quote because it describes life- and it gives you a great way to live life. So, as I was saying, O will be forgiven. Sometime. If she shows she can be a person of great strength in a positive way.


Right, I've just gone too far with O. Aaaand I have only described one type of person! Urgh. Let's get on with this...
So, the other people who you will probably never understand are your parents. They're not exactly a type, more of an older member in your family. Parents always want you to have the best life you can ever get, and I totally get that (yay!). But still, I can never get the stress about eating this and that, keeping your room extra super tidy, making sure you've done your homework 50 times and asking if you've eaten all your sandwiches and if you are 100% sure you aren't hungry. I think that parents live in another dimension where you have to make sure everything is tip-top. Anyways, love you Mum & Dad ❤
Next off are your friends. I'll never ever have one day in my life when all my friends agree on the same thing at the exact time. I'll never be able to build this harmony with someone and get everything they say: EVER. I might with my cousin, my ultimate first go-to person if I have a problem. ❤❤❤ God bless Zofia ❤❤❤ :D So, if I ever get to calm the chaos that is happening with all my friends, I'll let you know :) This might've happened to you- tell me! I love hearing about people's stories ❤ Aaaand, I want to say one more thing. That is why we have friends- we are all different and we will always be; accept yourself and you will be accepted :) I love you all so so much ❤

Updates, Cath Kidston and T-shirts

What's up it's Amber!
Before I properly start this post, I want to say a huge thank you for viewing my blog- I love seeing how many of you are reading! I will be changing my blog bit by bit... so it's even better! I want to make the background even prettier, which leads to my actual post... so keep reading !!! :)


If any of you have read my post on How to start a blog, then you probably remember me talking about the layout and background of your blog. I said it doesn't really matter at first, as long as it's appealing to look at for your readers. But when you gain an audience, you can play around a bit. I am going to be changing things from time to time, but I'm not exactly sure how I want it to look like, yet. For now that's it from updates, and if you want to talk it out in the comments, then feel free to do that!


The next thing I want to tell you about is my awesome bag from Cath Kidston. I am not boasting or anything of that sort, so don't think that :) I just want to recommend it to you so that you can buy it too :)


It is very similar, the only difference is the handle and the pockets on the sides ❤













I love this bag, it's so good to carry around, so comfortable, and waterproof. I bought it at an outlet for £16 pounds. So, I strongly recommend looking out for one of these!!! They are so pretty and are the best and cutest of all the everyday handbags I've used ❤


The third part is so exciting! I have made a t-shirt with my own edit! The ones I am posting quite regularly on my blog, yes, those ones. I have printed out a different one, but don't worry, it'll be up soon. I am so excited for wearing it, but it's a bit too big :D


So, I hope you enjoyed today's post!

The Unwritten Rules

What's up, it's Amber!
So, as a girl, I write posts for girls too. And this is one of them.
As girls we sometimes want to chill out in our tracksuits, sit on the playground and dangle your legs around and do nothing. We want to wake up, not care about how we look and just go downstairs and post a selfie with a morning cup of tea. But wait, nooooooo. That's not how life works. The story of The Unwritten Rules is about to begin...
So, you are expected to look your best at all times, have perfect skin and just be flawless. But really, who has flawless skin? Who's hair in the morning doesn't look like a dog which has just gotten electrocuted? Unfortunately, we aren't the human equivalent to a digitally photoshopped wake-up-with-make-up girl. We're people. So don't let people stick lies into your head that today your hair is messy or doesn't look good- you know, you left it that way, you like it the way it is. If you take examples from people that can't possibly be like this in real life, then you'll never understand the real people and will constantly feel bad because you're too fat, too skinny, too whatever you think you are. The only thing you actually are is a beautiful girl, a magical person, someone who has the power to change the world- to make it a better place. That's what matters. What matters is your inside self and your attitude towards others. I found something on the internet that said that real friends aren't the ones who are real in front of you- real friends are the ones which are real behind your back :) Be proud of who you are and who you are destined to be. Love the world and it's people as they are. Be happy. It doesn't take a lot to master a smile. I love you all :) So much ❤
And, you have no idea how much I hate the Unwritten Rules :D

Youtuber of the week #1



What's up it's Amber, from now on I'm going to be making a series called "Youtuber of the week"
Hope you enjoy :)


This week's awesome Youtuber is:

Meg DeAngelis
Meg DeAngelis



Go check out her YouTube channel, she is amazing (and so pretty :3) I found out about her channel and I was doing the typical thing- *like all her videos, watch 20 videos, look at her Instagram and we're done*
Check her YouTube out: Meg's Channel
I'm not lying, this girl is life goals :D She's so sweet and so pretty and urgh, just wow ❤


Hope you'll like this series as I want to develop a variety of posts on my blog :)
Love you all,
Amber ❤
P.S. Comment below if you'd like a more detailed description of the Youtubers ;)

How to start a blog

What's up, it's Amber! (From now on, a bit of a different "intro", I guess)


Today I want to tell you some tips and tricks about starting a blog and how to make it successful :) This month has been a bit off schedule so I have to get back on track with posting regularly and making posts of high quality :) So, the steps are all listed below:


1. Choose a site to have your blog on. I strongly recommend blogger, as it's super easy to manage and all of it is really straight forward :) (If you have a Google account then you probably have a blogger account, just go to www.blogger.com and it should ask you for your email and password)


2. Choose a web address.
A web address is one of the most important steps to a successful blog, in my opinion. If you have a blog address like cutecupcakesandadorablecatsandminions.blogspot.co.uk, no-one will find it, and that's not the point- you want people to find your blog, right?


3. Choose a name for your blog.
Choose something in general, because if you decide to change the variety and style of posts your writing, then your name won't fit. For e.g. All things cats, and you decide you don't like cats anymore a few months later.


4. Make a good background.
Don't worry too much about this right now, but just make a simple background that's appealing to your viewers.


5. Make a description to your blog.
You want people to briefly know what your blog is about and what you'll be posting.


6. Add a description to your profile.
When you click "view blog" at the top of your blog list page you should be able to see your blogger profile. Click on it, and edit. You can have anything you like!


7. Do your first post. Click on the button on the left hand side which says "New post". It will take you to a page where you can write! You can tell your viewers what you'll be posting in more detail, and you can say a bit about yourself. Now it's up to you!


If you need any instructions for specific steps, talk it out with me in the comments! You can also search on Google if you'd like ;)
P.S. If you want the browser to not track your own page views, then you have to find a button saying don't track my own page views. Search it for further info :) Also, if you do that, it only saves on your browser so if you use a different one then you have to save the settings again :)


Thanks for reading my tips and tricks and keep checking for new posts!
I love you all,
Amber ❤

Just say yes ❤

Hey! Just as I promised, today I'm making a post about "Just saying yes". When Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella first said this, I found it very motivating and I wanted to be a more confident person as well. I was never a person who would do a lot in my own will- I would never go on a rollercoaster in Thorpe Park, I would've never been able to climb up a tree, and I still let some things limit me. But then why don't you think to yourself: Why not? Is there an actual reason why you won't do this? Are you scared?
And I thought about this. I did things that I was proud of, I did things that I enjoyed, I realised I could do so much more than before, when I was a small girl in the park scared to go on a swing. I have been developing this "skill" for quite a bit of time, and now I have started my blog, I have another "Yes!" on my mental list :) You have all made me feel so so good about myself and I feel that I have been a lot more confident now I have somewhere to put my feelings and thoughts and someone in the world can see it. I have a diary, but I am more into this blog. You see, a diary somehow doesn't make you feel a lot better in my case, as no-one sees it and you don't want people seeing it. And here, well, everything I have wished this blog to become, has happened ❤ Who knows, maybe some day it'll be as big and fantastic as Zoe's blog? Who knows? :D Thank you all for waiting for this post, but I couldn't have it up yesterday. Love you all so so much!

Love,
Amber ❤

My New Year's Resolutions

Hey! Welcome back to my blog! Soooooo, it's been a while... what's up? I'm great. Although going back to school wasn't the greatest of moments :D It's always painful to wake up at seven or eight if for a whole two weeks you haven't even STARTED to wake up, as you've been up until 2am. Good old times, oh...
Anyways, sorry for not posting on the blog for a while. You see, my life doesn't only consist of the internet (well, mostly :D), so I like to spend time with my family and friends. Aaaaand, I didn't want to post for another reason. Recently I've realised that I haven't been producing posts that well, interest
people, and I don't want to post just for the sake of posting. I want to post for a reason. So, after all these tiring explanations, getting back on schedule with my New Year's Resolutions.


Note: I am making these on the go :D Never really planned any, but want to have some :) Also, I got the inspiration from Sprinkle of Glitter's blog, where she wrote her resolutions out too.


                                              


So, let's get going!
1. Start to be healthy.
Hm, not going too well yet, but I can fix it :) Recently, I've been eating so so much sugar and I want to stop this from happening. No because I'm getting fat, as I am as thin as a stick, but just so I feel better in my own skin :D
2. Exercise more and try gymnastics.
I usually do exercise, in school and at home, (I used to have a 20 minute workout each day that I set myself like 2 years ago- don't have it anymore, wish I did) but I somehow do a lot less than I used to, so time to get back on track with this!!!
3. Just say "Yes"
Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella once said this. You will certainly have more opportunities, just if you say yes. I am a person which will usually be the one standing at the end of the 3-metre outside pool, hesitating to get in, because "it's winter". Then I realise: Right, I'll maybe be sick, or get a cold, or just not like the water. But it's not a trap. You have a choice!!! You can always get out, or wait until the cold passes, with a cup of tea in your hand. Then why do I do this??? I have no clue. Comment if you do this too ;) I just want to realise the opportunities available for me and stop stressing about the "what if's"... I might do a post on that- in fact, I'll try to launch it on my blog today afternoon or tomorrow!


So... those are my resolutions. I won't do anything else, I can always add them to my mental list later :) I am just too aware that if I set myself many targets, I will achieve barely anything. If I have a few ideas, there is a stronger chance of me getting it right. So, once again... Happy 2015! I hope it will be a year full of excitement and achievements... Before I look around, it will probably be 2016 already!

Amber ❤
