The PLL Tag!

*THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IF YOU'RE NOT UP TO DATE WITH PRETTY LITTLE LIARS. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS*
 Hello Everyone,

As I was scrolling through YouTube today I found a Pretty Little Liars Tag. I am a huge fan of PLL so I thought I would do it as a blog post today. 

1. Who is your favourite character?
I would have to say that my favourite character is Hanna because she's just so funny. 

2. Who do you think is behind the A-Team?
Obviously I am a bit late doing this tag because we already know who the leader of the A-Team is. However, I would never have guessed that it would be the person it turned out to be.

3. Who do you ship?
When I first started watching PLL I definitely shipped Spoby the most. BUT now I 100% prefer Haleb because I think they are so cute together and they have pretty much been together the whole time.

4.  Favourite Villain?
My favourite villain has to be Mona because she's was so good at being evil when she was A. 

5. Who do you think might become a villain?
I have a feeling that Wren might become a villain and play a bigger part because there were clues that he had something to do with the A-Team

6. Who has been the most hurt by A?
I think Emily because of the situation with Maya or Spencer because of when she thought Toby was dead and she was put into Radley because of the stress.

7. Which girl's style do you like the most?
The girl's style I like the most is Emily because I like how her outfits are really simple and casual.

8. Who is your crush on the show?
My crush on the show is Caleb.

9. Who is your least favourite character?
I think my least favourite Liar is probably Spencer because she started to annoy me when it was leading up to when she went into Radley. However, my least favourite character overall is probably Lucas or Wilden because I found both of them annoying.

10. What was the biggest shocking moment for you?
The biggest shocking moment for me has to be when Toby was revealed to be part of the A-Team because I always really liked him and I didn't expect it at all because he had been so loyal to Spencer in the past.

12.What would you do if A was after you?
I would be so scared if A was after me but I think I would tell someone because I wouldn't want to let it go on as long as the Liars have.

So that is my PLL Tag. I have missed some of the questions out because the tag was created before season 6A so the questions didn't apply anymore. I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know in the comments who your favourte PLL character is. :)

Choosing Your Options!

 Hello Everyone,

I recently did a blog post all about sixth form in which I mentioned a bit about what to consider when you're choosing your subjects. However, as I mentioned in the post I wanted to do a whole blog post on choosing your options because I feel like I could write quite a bit about this. This post will hopefully help any of you who are going to be choosing what subject to take at GCSE or in sixth form in the near future.

It's really important to choose the right subjects for you as you will have to study them for a couple of years. I'm going to tell you a few of the things that I think are important when choosing your options. 

You must enjoy the subject - When I was choosing my options at both GCSE and for A-Level whether I enjoyed the subject or not was a big factor for me. The amount of lessons and time you spend studying this subject is going to increase so if you already don't enjoy it then there is no point in taking it. Also if you enjoy a subject you are more likely to be motivated to learn more.

You need to be interested in the subject - This is similar to the last point but you must find your subjects interesting to ensure that you are motivated and want to learn about it. I also find that I retain information better if I find something interesting. If you are considering taking a subject that you haven't studied before which I have done, I think that having an interest in the subject is a very important factor.

You need to be good at the subject - Have a look at your results on old tests from the subject you are interested in and see if you have done well or not. In my opinion there is no point in taking a subject you have been getting poor grades in it because it is only going to get harder. If you are good at a certain subject it's likely that you will be able to do it at a higher level and will be able to cope with the workload.

Think about you best characteristics - Use your strengths when choosing your options. If you think that you are better at coursework than exams then maybe think about taking some BTECs. On the other hand, if you find writing coursework a lot of work them maybe take more subject that are exam-focused.

Choose what is best for you - I personally think that you should only consider yourself when choosing your options as you are the one who is going to have to study them every day. Therefore, except input from family and friends and ask them what they think you're good at but don't let them decide for you. Also, as much as we like to be in classes with our friends it is best to choose subjects that are best for you and not choose them so you can be with your friends.

I think they are all the points I wanted to make today. These are all the factors I considered when choosing my options. I hope you have found this helpful. :)

A Pretty Perfect Schedule!

 Hello Everyone,

For a while now I have been considering setting a timetable for when I blog. I wasn't sure whether to start one or not because I love blogging and wouldn't want to turn it in to a chore. However, after much consideration I have decided that I am going to try to stick to a schedule from now on.

I also wanted to increase the amount of time a blog during a week. Most months I post about 8 blog posts (so about 2 per week) but I want to increase this to about three times per week (so about 12 posts per month). 

So here's the plan...From now on I am going to post on a Monday, Wednesday and at some point on the weekend. It could either Saturday or Sunday depending on when I have time.

I hope this schedule works for you guys too. It's just something I want to try out. So this is a test for the next couple of months to see if I like this way of blogging. If not, I'll go back to how I used to blog but I really hope this works.

This isn't going to be a really strict routine. If I don't get to blog on one of the days I'll just make it up to you when I can. Also some weeks there may be more than three posts. Let's just wait and see what happens.

I'm always looking for ways to improve my blog so hopefully this will do exactly that. I'm sorry that this probably wasn't a very exciting blog post but I just wanted to inform you about the changes. I will be posting a more interesting blog later on this evening as it's Wednesday so keep and eye out for that.

Thank you

The Sweater Weather Tag!

Hello Everyone!

I am loving Autumn so much so I thought I would do another Autumn Tag. Here is the Sweater Weather Tag!

1. Favorite candle scent?
I have three favourite candles. The first one is the Yankee Candle Clean Cotton Candle and the second the Hopeman's Original Seafoam and Gorse. I also love the Zoella Beauty Lets Glow candle.

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?
Definitely tea. I absolutely love tea but I do like the odd hot chocolate now and again during the winter.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?
I always remember the noise of when you kick through the piles of leaves that have fallen off the trees.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 
Definitely darker lips. Winged eyeliner is way too hard to do.

5. Best fragrance for fall?
I don't really change fragrance with the seasons but the fragrance I am loving at the moment is Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I love that perfume.

 6. Favorite part of a roast dinner?
My favourite part of a roast is either the roast potatoes or the Yorkshire puddings.

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?
I live in Britain so there isn't a huge change in weather from Summer to Autumn but it's getting a little bit colder and it seems to be very foggy in the mornings at the moment.

8. Most worn sweater?
My favourite sweater is a pink one which was bought for me for Christmas last year which I believe is from Dorothy Perkins.

9. Must-have nail polish this fall?
 I have two, both of which are Barry M Gellys. They are Cocoa and Pomegrante.

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?
 
Jumping in leaf piles. I'm not a huge fan of football if I'm honest.


11. Skinny jeans or leggings?
Skinny jeans especially now that it's getting a bit colder. I just think they're a bit smarter than leggings.

12. Combat boots or Uggs?
To be honest I don't really where either. I am definitely more of a chelsea boot type of girl.  

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype? 
I haven't tried one yet but next time I am near a Starbucks I definitely want to try a Pumpkin Spice Latte

14. Favorite fall TV show?
Apprentice always comes on at this time of year which I love. I also love I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here which comes on right at the end of Autumn.

15. What songs really gets you into the fall spirit?
 There aren't really any songs that I associate with Autumn. I usually start listening to Christmas music. I'm trying to resist at the moment though.

I hope you enjoyed this tag. All of the products I have mentioned that are available for you to buy will be linked in the product directory. What's your best Autumn memory? Let me know in the comments.

Places to Visit Near Windermere!

Hello Everyone,

Today I have got another travel post for you. This one is places to visit near Windermere. I wanted to recommend these places and share some of the photos that I took whilst I was there.

Windermere!

Firstly, I want to share the pictures of Windermere itself. It is a lovely place which is so picturesque. Despite it raining the majority of time we were there, we all really enjoyed ourselves so here are some pictures.
















The Lakeland Motor Museum!


The Lakeland Motor Museum is a museum that has both old and new motor vehicles. I found it so interesting to go round and look at how the vehicles have changed and developed over the years. There were some really nice cars in the museum which I loved. There is also some famous motor vehicles that have been used to break records in the past The Campbell Bluebird Exhibition which was really interesting to see. I would definitely recommend going there if you are near Windermere.

Keep an eye out for Part 2 of this post which should be coming soon. If I put all the pictures into one post it would be way to long so I'm writing a part 2. I hope you have enjoyed this post.
