Disconnected: A Goodbye

I'm writing this on my phone in a bit of a panic because if I look hard enough, I can trace every reader of my blog. Two girls from my school have been viewing my posts. I wanted to remain anonymous on all my blogs because then I can share more personal things. I will be making a new blog for the type of posts I'd normally put on here. I've checked and they haven't seen my other blogs and my main blog. I'm just a bit upset because I love blogging on all my different blogs. I can imagine they have been making fun of me. Probably cackled at my 'everything is amazing' post on here.

I have told a select few of my internet friends about all the blogs I run. I'm still going to be posting on those blogs and posts will still be up every monday, Friday and Saturday on my main blog. I can just shut this one down. My posts will still be here but there won't be anymore.

If the two girls are reading this post, I don't want to fall out over this, but I ask for you to not search for my other blogs. It's a hobby that I like to keep to myself and it's quite upsetting to me that I have to shut down this blog that I've had for a long time. It's something I love to do and keep to myself. Staying anonymous is important to me. Please don't tell others because quite frankly that's disrespecting my privacy. If you want to talk to me about it, that's fine.

Sorry this was such a negative post, I'm a little angry if truth be told.

So yeah, this is goodbye I guess.

Lots of love, Molly.

My After School Routine 2k16

{Disclaimer: Don't mean to sound like an arse already, but unless I say otherwise, all photographs featured on this blog are my own, including this one, so please give credit if you decide to use it please and thanks k bye}

Hello my darlings, it's been a while!

I've been caught up in school stuff with the transition into my GCSE courses and I've also been trying to set up my YouTube channel. I've filmed a couple of videos, however the camera I use is my iPhone camera, and the quality bugs me so I don't think they are really good enough to upload. Maybe one day ... 

Also, I'm planning to update my blog a bit, with a new name: DizziLizzi or FizziLizzi ~ I haven't really decided yet so do let me know what you think! Oh, and unless you haven't already sussed it out, my name is actually Lizzi, not Molly Rose, I just liked the way it sounds hehe :)

Anyways, y'all are gathered here today for my after school routine, so that is what I'm going to write about. 

1. Breathe
After my longggg journey from school to home, I like to give myself a little bit of time to relax and take a deep breath. This session includes taking off my shoes, blazer and backpack, washing my hands and, in true British style, pouring myself a good old cuppa tea. I'll just sit and catch up with my own thoughts, probably with a few strawberry bon bons as they are my favourite food at the moment.

2. Pop To The Gym
Gym work is my physical section of my Duke of Edinburgh award course, so I'm training everyday and documenting it along the way (that rhymed, how exciting!). I just change into a baggy tee and some leggings, pack a lil' gym bag with typical gym stuff (water bottle, keys, money for the locker, my inhaler, headphones etc.). Shove on my trainers and I'm good to go.

3. Dinnertime
I'm young and lucky enough that my parents cook delicious dinners for me. It's the best feeling coming home from the gym to a warming home-cooked meal. Yes, yes, yes. This is the time where I'll have my second (or sometimes third oops) cup of tea of the evening. 

4. Refreshments
After dinner I hop in the shower to scrub away the marks of the day (another rhyme hehe). Then I'll just put on my pyjamas, comb through my hair brush my teeth and get started on my homework, with a cup of tea

5. Winding Down Time
This is often between the hours of eight and ten where I'll just watch some tele, watch YouTube, write my story, play some vinyl records, read, go on my phone, write a diary entry and all that jazz. I'll also have a cup of tea. And then I go to sleep.

Night!

25 Things To Do With Your Friends

If I'm being completely honest, I don't leave the house as often as the typical girl my age normally does. It's something I'd love to change as I'm big on making the most of your life and sometimes I feel like spending time with friends is essential to fulfilling that, yet I really do think I would go out more if I had slightly more creative ideas for outings and things to do. There's only so much shopping I can do before it becomes completely tedious for me. I get bored of things very easily and appreciate variety, so I thought I'd compile a list of alternatives to browsing shops for a couple of hours every weekend.

1. Baking

2. Sign up for a yoga class

3. Photoshoot

4. Day Trip To Brighton // London

5. Make a scrapbook

6. Movie marathon

7. Style each other's hair, makeup and outfit for the rest of the day

8. Film a YouTube video

9. Go for a breakfast or lunch date

10. Go to the cinema

11. Swimming

12. Go to a pottery painting place

13. Create a DIY project together

14. Concerts

15. Festivals

16. Prank calls

17. Road trip

18. Spend a day at the beach

19. Visit an art gallery

20. Go to the zoo

21. Go to the aquarium

22. Leave cute notes around places in town

23. Have a study date

24. Have a pamper evening together

25. Picnic

I apologise for the lack of posts recently, I've been incredibly busy with my German Exchange student, we went indoor skydiving last weekend!

Comments make me really excited so I'd love it if you could leave me one telling me your favourite thing to do with your friends - it would actually help :)

I've recently been thinking about starting a YouTube channel but I'm not sure if I'd enjoy it or not so please leave your opinion down below.

Also, can you believe it's May already?!

Everything Is Incredible

I'm feeling like I need to write so here I am, and the topic I have to offer today is one of peculiarity.

What can you see?
I can see my fingers crawling across the keyboard, as fresh words of my mind are typed on to the computer screen. I'm in my bedroom, which is looking scruffier than I'd like it to be to be honest. My bed remains unmade, duvet slipping from its place of belonging, pillows strewn beside it scattered on the floor, and me, plonked on top of it all, blogging. Ahead of me is where my desk is situated. I can see a toppling tower of schoolbooks, a calendar with the only purpose of creating an appearance that says 'I have my plop together', I even made use of a blooming colour code. A schedule for when my German exchange partner arrives, which I am now finding very fascinating, because it is almost a time teleportation device. In the future I will do those very things, isn't that incredible? My photography wall above with its accurately placed memories overlooks the rest of my familiar bedroom, which also captivates me as I can travel along the other direction in time. Extraordinary.

What is even more astounding to me is that nobody else is seeing what I am seeing right now. If another being was in my bedroom accompanying me, they wouldn't have the ability to see exactly what I can see at the same time as me. I could see their face, and they could see mine. We cannot see our own faces. A mirror is a reflection, you can't hold your own face as you could in reality, in a photograph. Another interesting matter is time. What is it? It's not actually a real thing in a way. Humans created the concept yet it's so difficult for me, personally, to envision a world without it. The world. The universe. How is it possible that the universe goes on forever and ever? How the hell did we come to live? If your answer to that question is God, what is God? What was the first thing ever to exist, but then where did it come from? Does there really need to be a first thing? You have a brain, you have a heart, you have skin and all these factors of humans, do you not find that amazing?

I guess what I'm trying to get across is that EVERYTHING is incredible, if you just think about it. Really, really, THINK.

March Purchases / Haul & A Lil Chit Chat

Yesterday, while my mum was receiving a fresh hairstyle at the salon, my sister and I snooped around the shops for an hour. I picked up a few knick knacks that I thought would be fun to share with you here on my blog! I apologise in advance for the rushed photography supporting this post, I couldn't quite find a nice composition so I hope it doesn't bother you too much!

I bought five things in total, and I'm very pleased with my purchases.

I love to pop into paperchase when I spend time in town, and this time round I collected a couple of items. The first being a tumblr, a sippy cup, a drinking utensil, I have no idea what to call this but I think it's so adorable! It's decorated with colourful cartoon watermelons, and features a lid and a straw which makes me more excited than it probably should. I've found it really has helped me to increase my water intake, which is something I've been attempting for a while. It's a lot more fun to drink from something pretty. I believe this costed me £7.00.

I also picked out a notebook from Paperchase, as I've always been a bit stationery mad. It pleases me immensely that I have the matching folder too. It's from the rustic raindrops collection that they have had going on these past few months {that's not the real name, I made that up.} I like that the lines are narrow inside, because I have the tiniest handwriting in the world, and often find that to be an issue for me in paperchase. The book is also thick and I like to have lots of pages for some reason. I think this only took £6.00 from me, so I'm very happy with that.

From Boots, I topped up my cleanser supply, as I'm running out of one of my favourite products which is the Simple Kind To Skin Moisturising Facial Wash. I use this every day, just in the shower, to keep my spots away. I am in no way a beauty expert but I'd definitely recommend this product for my fellow sufferers of eczema and it is an absolute bargain at £2.50. I spotted a little bottle of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water on offer for £1.00. I'd heard great things about this product, so I grabbed it because you can't go wrong with a price like that. I'll get back to you when I use it and see if it really is worth the hype, but also suitable for people with eczema.

Lastly, I scanned The Body Shop for their tea tree range as my friends are always rambling on about them. I settled with Tea Tree Targeted Gel, which I spent £6.50 on. I don't have much to say about it really, apart from it is very small, and the applicator is like a lipgloss stick. I'm excited to see if it ives up to my expectations!

While I'm here I might as well talk a little longer and discuss my goals for April. My German Exchange partner will be travelling here next month, so I'd like her to feel welcomed and enjoy her stay. Hopefully this will be an excuse to have a few adventures myself, as that is my main goal for April 2016, to get off my bum and do stuff. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this post. Please leave a comment suggesting some products I should try out or your favourite shop!

Good Morning World

Waking up to the gift of a new day is something very special, although most of us seem to groggily groan at the thought of it. Mornings are full of potential, and serene strolls admiring the sunrise. If you would just get out of bed you would see how peaceful and different the world becomes at this time of day. Here is what I typically get up to after an almighty stretch complete with some rather alarming noises.

1. Read
The moment I open my eyes and recognise my consciousness, I'll pick up my current book. At the moment, that would be Mockingjay, which I'm extremely late to the party with reading, but I'm absolutely loving the action packed into it, and how every chapter closes on a gripping cliff-hanger. Reading awakens my brain to get started for the day.

2. General Getting Readyness
I'll say goodbye to my bed, and dress it in its many pillows before throwing open my curtains. I'll then head straight to the bathroom to brush my teeth and gulp down a gigantic glass of water, which is following by styling my hair, outfit and makeup if I'm feeling it.

3. Breakfast
I forgot to mention this is my weekend morning routine, so I can cook up an especially scrumptious breakfast. If anyone else is up, I'll provide for them too. This is also the moment I slurp my first tea of the day. I'll typically poach some eggs and serve it with toast, because I'm not allowed to operate the oven until my parents are awake for safety reasons.

4. Go For A Walk
I like to explore different places in my neighbourhood and just take detours. Sometimes I'll encounter a playground and I'll sway on the swings. It's nice to get some fresh air. Alternatively, I'll just do some yoga at home.

5. Make A Schedule ... Maybe
It doesn't have to be too detailed but outlining my day aids in ensuring I'm not wasting it. Sometimes I'm just not really in the mood for writing it out though so I'll just float through through dawn to dark.

Thank you for reading, leave me a comment telling me your favourite thing to eat for breakfast!

How To Get Through A Busy Day

Today I found myself with a vast mountain of work to complete, so I whipped out some paper and a pen, wrote myself a to do list and started to tackle each task. I thought it might be a nice idea to show how I cope with those days where you are so busy you might just explode.

A tidy room is essential for me if I want to get anything done at all. When my bed could do with a fix up and there is paper that failed to reach the bin with my terrible aim all over the floor, it distracts me and kind of makes me feel lazy. Once I neaten up my work space and surroundings, something in my brain is triggered and it motivates me to get plop done.

I'll then create a to do list of every thing I want to accomplish. This helps me to keep all my tasks in one space and also drives me to chip away at the next assignment. There is something so satisfying about carrying things out the traditional way, with a pen and paper, and illustrating a dainty tick rather than clicking a box inspires me a whole lot more.

Before I actually do what I need to do, I will take half an hour of my time to practise some simple yoga, which prepares me for business and releasing my stress. It makes me feel happy and alive, and instead of moaning about my homework, my mind positively transforms so that I appreciate the opportunities I receive with my education, and I recognise how some people are so desperate to be in my position. I start to welcome my learning in a warming manner, and I notice how privileged I am to live where I do.

Whilst I'm actually working, I make a point of keeping a large glass of water near me, that I refill frequently. Sometimes I store some treats on my desk too, to use as cheeky rewards. And being British, means I simply must sip away at several cups of tea all day. During my breaks, I enjoy reading and scrolling through studyblrs.

Thank you for reading and I hope your work load isn't stressing you out too much! I'd love it if you could leave a comment suggesting what I could write about next.
