Heya guys. Now Christmas has been and gone, we have a week left of holiday! Yay! But after a few days of no school it can get a bit boring, just sat around all day with nothing to do. So here's some ideas of boredom busters, some indoor and some out, that don't involve 16 episodes of your fave tv show, or endless hours on social media. Use this however you want - you could do exactly what I say or maybe add your own twist to it to adapt to what you want. I don't mind. Just have fun and make the most of your time off school! 1. Go to the park Going to the park can sound slightly boring and babyish, but especially with brothers and sisters it can be quite fun! Get rid of some energy that you're not going to use by watching tv, and burn off that chocolate while you're at it. Challenge your siblings to a race across the field or see who can swing the highest... the possibilities are endless! 2. Hit the shops Grab your purse, bag and some mates and make the mo

Hiya guys, and merry Christmas!! So I was thinking about my last post, and about how it's quite hard to get a free guest post on another blog.  I want to help you guys out, so I'm going to hold a competition for 3 lucky winners to get a guest post on my blog! Now I realise that my viewers aren't very active, so I'm going to give you one year to enter, and I will keep posting reminders throughout the year. To enter, all you need to to is comment on any of my posts, share my blog on some form of social media, comment your blog name, what your post would be about and why you should win. The competition closes on the 25th December 2017. The winners will be announced hopefully the same day. Good luck! Question of the day: what are you most looking forward to getting for Christmas? Answer in the comments below! Lots of love, Young and Enquiring x

Heya guys x So I know how hard it is to write a blog that people will enjoy and follow, and if you are new to blogging it can be really difficult to find viewers.  Obviously I don't have very many followers yet but I have some knowledge which can help anyone looking for advice. I have been blogging for just under two years now and I have become more confident and comfortable in it and myself as time has gone on. So here are some tips on how to become more confident and better at blogging. 1. Be chatty People like a friendly person who makes them feel at ease and happy. Use language you would use normally, use it to impress your readers not your english teacher! It might help to pretend that you're talking to your friend, so that you feel more relaxed and more cheerful. 2. Post what your viewers want to see Your viewers are only going to read your blog if the content interests them. Mine is a lifestyle blog so I post a bit of everything, with a few areas that I know mo

Hey guys. Doesn't everyone love christmas? I do. It's a time of year when you can relax, chill, have fun, not have to worry about school or homework or exams. However sometimes a few tiny things can just spoil the day for you and your family or friends. So here we have the ultimate list: 5 things NOT to do on christmas day. This will help you enjoy your day to the max! 1. Don't wake up too early So this can be a hard one to avoid, especially if you have over-eager younger brothers or sisters (trust me I know the struggle - I have a 10 year old brother and 2 year old sister 😬 ) or even if you are just so excited to get the day started and prezzies opened! However setting your alarm for unreal hours (we're talking 3am - thanks bro) is the first way to make you ill all day and yawning over the turkey. A few years ago I woke up at about 4 by accident and therefore became ill and lost my voice for the whole day. Not amusing. 2. Don't overeat This is an obvio

Heyyyy x So in this post I am going to do another top 5 - this time of beauty products!  I know some people say that you shouldn't wear makeup at this age but why not? There's no harm in it! Anyway mini rant over, lets go... 1. Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara So this was actually one of the first pieces of makeup that I got, together with two other items - a lipgloss and a concealer (which will probably come up later), as it was in a 3for2 offer. Who doesn't love offers? About half the things I have bought in my life were on sale 😳 . Anyways. I love this mascara because it has the most amazing wand which distributes it equally! A lot of other mascaras that I have tried don't (probably because there was only one other which was from primark...) 2. Kiko lipstick no.902 Ok so this lipstick was recommended to me by a friend, as she has it and wears it to school everyday and looks amazing. It is the perfect shade as it is not too bold but also has an amazing shim

Hiya guys Sorry if i post a lot today, I can't really post regularly so I usually do a lot in one go! Today it's pop song lyrics - E. This is quite an old song, from 2013, but you'd be surprised how little (recent) songs there are beginning with E! So here we go... its Elastic Heart by Sia. And another one bites the dust But why can I not conquer love? And I might've got to be with one Why not fight this war without weapons? And I want it and I wanted it bad But there were so many red flags Now another one bites the dust And let's be clear, I trust no one You did not break me I'm still fighting for peace Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard But I may snap when I move close But you won't see me fall apart 'Cause I've got an elastic heart I've got an elastic heart Yeah, I've got an elastic heart And I will stay up th

Hey people (please please please comment ideas of names for you guys🙏  ) Have you ever had one of those amazing friends who makes you smile 24/7 and you really cannot imagine your life without? I have. I do. In fact I'm having a sleepover with one now😊 She (lets call her Abi) is the one person I treasure the most in the whole world. I have known each other since we were 4 years old and ever since we have been the bestest friends in the whole wide world. I know this sounds really cringy but its true! However recently it feels like we're not such good friends anymore. Last year when we started year 7 we were put in separate halves of the year which meant that we weren't in any of each other's classes. Since then she has made a lot of friends in her classes, which of course is fine, but uses my group as a kind of backup. It feels like she only comes to us when there is no one else. Also I have a 2 year old sister (who to be fair is SUPER cute and adorable) who

Heya X Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have been really busy! Here comes pop song lyrics - c. Today it will be... Change Your Life by Little Mix! She captures her reflection then she throws the mirror to the floor Her image is distorted screaming, "Is it worth it anymore?" No-oh-oh Are you scared of the things that they might put you through? Does it make you wanna hide the inner you? You're not the only one so let them criticize, oh oh oh You're untouchable when you realize, oh oh oh Change, change your life, take it all We're gonna stick together, know we'll get through it all Change, change your life, take it all (yeah, take it all) You're gonna use it to become what you've always known (Become what you've always known) His body starts to flicker like nobody wants to know his name Just another soul with feelings but nobody's there to feel the pain No, no, no They can rip you, bring you down, down to their s

Hey guys x I found this thing on the web where people post every day, each day writing the lyrics of a song from A-Z, so I thought I would try it!! So todays song (A) is .... A Thousand Years by Christina Perri! Heart beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave How can I love when I'm afraid to fall But watching you stand alone All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow One step closer I have died everyday, waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything, take away What's standing in front of me Every breath, every hour has come to this One step closer I have died everyday, waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed, I would find you Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a t

Hiya again x At the moment I am so obsessed with Front Tie T-shirts, I think they are so cool and stylish, and feel amazing. I have two (neither of which can I find a picture of 😢). One is from Zara, it is green at the top going down ombre to red with teardrop shapes on like a watermelon 🍉. The other is grey and says 99% unicorn 🐎✨. They are amazing, I absolutely LIVE in them like all the time and they suit my style so much. Also while I am doing a fashion blog I need to just point out something else I live in - my burgundy Jack Wills hoodie - expensive but AMAZING!!! I actually cannot remember a non-school day which I have not worn this hoodie it is so warm and comfy and relaxing and soft... Could not NOT point that out😆 So that is the end of todays blog, see you soon and have a great half term may I just point out😆😆😆😆😁😁😊😊😃😃😊 😊 😊 😊 Byeeeeee!!!!

Hey guys x I thought I would do something a bit different today, which I haven't done before... I'm going to do a 'Top 10'. And that is in quotation marks because that is now a ' thing'. If this goes well. So I'm basically going to tell you my top 10 of the given subject, and you will go and see if you like it! Please comment for me to see if it worked... 😊 So this is my top 10 of music easy to make a dance routine to, I hope you like! A lot of these are very emotional and I think that is really important when you dance, to get across the feeling and the mood of the routine as soon as possible. This is for all dance lovers like me who choreograph their own routines at home and cannot find any more songs they haven't already choreographed too (I really need one of these ;D) 💖❤ 10. 'We're all in this together' by High School Musical - just had to put this in, its a great and uplifting song, for a performance its good as a last song. This

Hiya guys In my last post (that I actually posted like 10 minutes ago) I said I would do a book review on both of Zoella's books. They are both really inspiring to me, as a blogger,  photographer and secondary school student, as Penny (the main character) is too. Girl Online is about a girl called Penny who has an anonymous blog which she posts on weekly. She has suffered from panic attacks since she was in a car crash as a young child, which seem to get worse as she publicly humiliates herself in front of boys and massive audiences. Penny is struggling to get back into her normal life again, until her parents announce a surprise trip to New York to organise a wedding! Her best friend Elliot helps her get through everything and anything, until she meets mystery rock-God prince Noah. Will he be the answer to her dreams, or will it all come crashing down in front of her feet? In the next book, Penny is offered the chance of a lifetime- accompanying her popstar boyfriend a

Hiya guys 😘😘 I really need to tell you something  (🎤 I really really really really really really really like you 🎤🎤🎤😂)  No, joking. Anyway.  I'm not happy with my blog.  I don't feel like I'm connecting with my readers enough.  I feel like I'm here to provide info, but I want to be regarded as a kind of Internet friend you can ask for help on anything, and can just cheer up your day. Reading Zoella's two books (Girl Online and Girl Online:On Tour - if you don't know you should do, I might do a book review later...😀) has really inspired me, how Penny can write and the words seem to flow out of her fingers, how she always knows exactly what to say and exactly how to say it, how she connects with her readers and gets lots of lovely comments asking her for advice. I want to be like Penny.  I'll make you a deal. I will try to be more friendly and chatty to you and help you, and post a mix of interesting posts.
