Look After You- The Fray

Trembling Hands- The Temper Trap

Closer- Tegan and Sara

With or Without You- U2

Want U Back- Cher Lloyd

Another Valentine's Day...

Even though it isn't quite here yet, happy Valentine's Day to you all! I know Valentine's Day can be daunting for those without a Valentine (aka- me) but I thought I would share some tips to ensure that everyone has a lovely day!

  1. Embrace the loving vibe- okay, you might not have a valentine, but who cares! Enjoy the love in the air!
  2. Listen to cheesy love songs- even though I do this every day, like today when my best friend picked me up for school and we belted out our favourite Glee tunes, for those afraid of expressing their love for romantic songs, tomorrow is the perfect day to do so! 
  3. Eat lots of chocolate and buy yourself or someone you love some flowers- even if it is your best friend, it'll make your day more enjoyable seeing their reaction to your lovely surprise!
  4. Watch corny romantic movies- again, I do this every weekend but I strongly suggest that you get into the Valentine's Day mood by watching classic Nicholas Sparks films as well as seeing the new film 'Endless Love' which I am hoping I'll see over the weekend!
  5. Have a positive attitude- you may not realise this but there are so many people in your life that love you; whether it be your family, friends, peers or teachers- there is always someone who cares about you and is there for support! Valentine's Day not only calls for us to express our love for people, but also for the blessings we all have- think about how lucky you are due to the fact that you're either reading this right now via your smart phone or computer! 
I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

5 Reasons I don't Mind the Heat

Well for those reading this from countries that are currently experiencing Winter; count yourselves lucky. Here in Melbourne, Australia, the weather is scorching hot and I can't help thinking what it will be like tomorrow at school... Anyway, instead of complaining about the heat, I thought I would share with you what I love about it; so here you go!
  1. Feeling bad that you can't be bothered exercising? Be like me and blame it on the heat, and trust me, it'll make you feel a lot better!
  2. Summer gives me an excuse not to go out and socialise, but to lay around my house reading, and watching my favourite television shows- oh wait, I already do this most days anyway!
  3. While they don't bring all the boys to the yard, I love making chocolate milkshakes in Summer with a lot of chocolate topping and ice-cream! I think I'm going to go and make one now actually... Be right back!
  4. I love Summer for the beautiful outfit options it brings. Not only can I diverge from wearing jeans and sweaters (which does get boring after a while), but I can finally begin wearing my favourite floral frocks as well as cute sandals and clogs!
  5. I love Summer fruits including mangoes, pineapple, watermelon, grapes and strawberries; especially on a warm night!
Well there you have it- why sometimes I don't mind the heat! Let me know what you think, or, if you're experiencing Winter, leave a comment about what you love about it!
