Motivational Quote #7

Stop caring and wondering about how much you matter to others...
(photo from pinterest)

Hello everyone!!

At a stage in my life I once cared about what everyone thought of me, I always thought people were judging me and that stopped me from truly living my life. Once I stopped worrying and caring about the other people's opinions I realised that I was just being myself and having fun. I became happier and I began doing things that I normally stopped myself from doing. So my advice is if you stop caring about the things that are stopping you from living your life then get rid of them. They don't truly mean anything because if they did they wouldn't be making you unhappy. Being happy is something I truly value and appreciate in life as there have been times in my life where I was really unhappy. I also think another thing that will make you happy is finding a passion in life (mine is acting) and doing it for the rest of your life will make sure that your happiness is always there.

I hope you have an amazing day & thank you for reading!!

The Dream Tag

(photo from google)

This tag was floating around the internet a while ago and I have to be honest I have hit a bit of a “writers block” therefore I thought I would do another tag post. I enjoy answering questions and these are super easy to do when you have no time whatsoever. I have a show in less than two weeks so everything is a bit hectic at the moment but I wanted to put up a post anyway. I am a dreamer and always have been. I always find myself dreaming of the secret life I wish I had.
 
1. What are you currently day dreaming about?
Florida, I’m going back to my second home in July and I cannot wait. I’m dreaming of walking down Main Street, MK with a huge smile on my face, dreaming of meeting all the characters and having just a great time. I’m dreaming of being free and not having to worry or stress out because stress doesn’t exist in Disney World


2. What three items live in your dream wardrobe?
A pair of Christian Louboutin, I think they are every girls dream tbh. A white midi tutu skirt, something I probably couldn’t pull off even if I tried but I love them and they look so classy if paired with a nice top and heels. The last thing would be a Prada handbag, I just think they look so classy and have always wanted to own one.


3. Who's your dream celeb look-alike?
There isn’t really an celebs that I would love to look like if I’m completely honest.

4. In your eyes, who's currently "living the dream"?
I think those who are actors full time are living the dream whether that’s on stage or film or tv. I hope that one day I will be one of those people. Also those who are currently in a production on Broadway, that’s would just be amazing!!

5. What do you dream of more; love or money?
I get that money doesn’t buy you anything but it would solve a lot of my problems in life if I didn’t constantly have to worry about my finances. Love is something I guess everyone wants, myself included but these days money is an essential and you don’t get very far without it. I guess I would say I dream a lot more about money than I do love.

6. Your dream holiday escape?
Of course, Florida but I would love to go back to New York and explore everywhere I did not get a chance to. I love would love to do a road trip around America. I’m not one for wanting to go to places like the Caribbean or anything like that.


7. Who's your dream YouTuber collab?
I’m not a youtuber therefore I don’t have an answer for that but if I were I would love to collab with Miranda Sings.

8. Did your childhood dreams ever come true?
Yes they actually did, my ultimate dream was going to Disney and I got the chance in 2005 and my other dream I’m living just now. Acting full time was always a dream and its currently what I’m doing with my life.

9. If one of your dreams could come true right now, what would it be?  
To get into HND next year. It all depends on my show in two weeks and my graded unit so fingers crossed.
 
Thank you for reading and I realised I mentioned Disney way too many times but I’m addicted to Disney so too much isn’t really a problem to me.

Motivational Quote #6


The way I see it, if you want the rainbow you gotta put up with the rain. - Dolly Parton    Free Printable

(picture from pinterest)


Hello everyone!!

Last year I started doing motivational posts where I would put up a quote that would hopefully brighten up someone’s day. Lately I have been looking up quotes to get me motivated for the day due to feeling a little down in the mornings. The quote I thought I would share with you today is one that is currently up on my chalkboard in my room and by one of my favourite people.

“If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain”

Its true that if you want something truly wonderful in life you got to put up with a few obstacles here and there before you get to where you truly want to be. As an acting student this quote is rather appropriate for me due to having to take on roles that may not be to your liking or getting rejection but in the end you will land a role that is your dream role. In high school drama, I found I got cast as an older and much more mature character due to most of those in my class looking and acting a lot younger than myself. Do not get me wrong I loved playing older characters but sometimes I wanted change, I wanted to show that I could play a wide variety of characters. Now at college I finally have the chance to display what I really can do and it makes me so happy knowing I’m getting to play characters that are amazing. For my final production my class is tackling “4:48 Psychosis” a play by Sarah Kane, it is a wonderfully written piece with no set directions or characters. The scenes my lecturer/director has given me are fantastic and are really going to showcase my acting skills, this performance is almost like another audition as this is may help me get into next year of my course. I hope this quote gives you a little boost in life.

Hope you enjoyed reading & have a lovely day!!

5 Great Things About My Week!!


Hello everyone!!

I thought I would do a different kind of blog post today and tell you 5 things that have been great this week;

Rehearsals  -  This year for my final production at college we have took on "4:48 Psychosis" by Sarah Kane which we will be performing in 16 days which is not too long away but this week it finally has came together. We only have a few more scenes to finalise and then we are good to go which is amazing considering how tough a year we have had.

New Lecturer - a week ago, my college got a new lecturer who has taken over my voice classes and he is amazing. There is something about him that I really like, and he really cares about not only my class but also the work we are doing. He gives great advice and I feel like if I had him from the start of the year college may have been that little bit better. I think Friday was one of my favourite days at college so far and there have been many good days.

Juice Detox - I found a Glasgow based Juice Company that specialises in a Juice Detox and decided to try out a 3 day one this week. Everything about it I loved (apart from not getting my third day on time which I'm not too happy about as it meant I couldn't finish the Detox) it made me feel like I had been wiped out from all the badness.

New Clothes - I purchased a lot of new clothes this week and I think I had a delivery every single day, which made me very happy as I never get mail. I felt my wardrobe needed updating even though most of the stuff I bought was plain black for college.

My College Friends - I have a few close friends that I have known all throughout my school years but my college friends are just amazing!! From the very first day as a whole class, we connected and this week has just been another great week with them. It is as though we have known each other our whole lives and I will miss them all dearly when things change next year.
    1. I hope you enjoyed hearing about the top 5 things that made my week great!!

The Netflix Tag

(photo from google)

Hello everyone!!

So it’s been over a month now since I last put up a blog post which I am feeling slightly annoyed at myself for not sticking to regularly uploading. It’s been a hectic last few weeks with auditions and rehearsals therefore blogging hasn't really been my top priority. Today I thought I would upload a tag that I have seen floating around lately which is the Netflix tag. I have gotten back into watching Netflix in the last week or so and thought this tag would be an appropriate post to upload.

 

All Time Favourites
I love Orange is the New Black. I have rewatched a handful of times and love it I really enjoy going back and watching the first two seasons of Skins (another of my favourite shows)

Current Addiction
I watched Ugly Betty while it was on TV but rekindled my love for it a week ago and cannot get enough of it. Reminds me a lot of the Devil Wears Prada, which is a film I like a lot.

Wishlist
I wish I could watch Saved by the Bell even though I have the full box set I sometimes cannot be bothered getting up to get the disks. If there was a section for 90s, TV programmes my life would be 10x better.

Net Peeve 
The US and Canadian versions are so much better than the UK version which irritates me as I do not find that very fair. Just because we are the UK doesn't mean we don’t deserve a wider variety. Another thing is how long it takes for a new episode/season to go up on Netflix, I feel as though I've been waiting years for the new season of Orange is the New Black.

Marathon Essentials
 A nice comfortable place to sit/lie, I like to watch Netflix on my bed with either my duvet or my cosy Primark blanket. Snacks are must whether they are healthy or not, I loving banana chips at the moment. Another key essential is time, you can’t settle down to watch a large amount of a show if you have something planned.

You Should Watch
For sure Orange is the New Black, I never get hooked to programmes but this one was an exception. There is nothing else I can really think of that I would really recommend.

And So The Adventure Begins!!

And so the adventure begins... #travelingTOMS

Hello everyone!! 

Its now the 10th of January and this is only my first post of 2015!! I find it rather weird writing 2015, I feel as though 2014 went by way too fast for my liking. I thought I would start off this year by doing a quote post, I have done a few of these and decided I wanted to start the year with something motivational. Its a simple quote, "and so the adventure begins", a new year is the beginning of something wonderful. This year I have so many things I want to do and see, I planned to see a lot more last year but I never made the time to do it. I have a few projects I am doing this year and hopefully this will encourage me to explore and take on many more exciting challenges. 

Hope you have a lovely evening and I hope 2015 is amazing adventure :)
