How to blog, a helping hand for you and me

This is as much advice to you readers out there, hello btw, as it is as advice for myself, like a little note i can refer to when I'm stuck for inspiration or finding it hard to know what to write.

I have only had a few posts up but I'm hoping that my blog will last forever with a few acceptions that is. I don't want to be beaten by pressure from other bloggers. Blogging is about self expression and is something anyone can do about anything, there are no limits. Personally i want my blog to be about fashion, films, music, lifestyle and beauty. I think blogging will be good for me as at this point in my life as a 15 year old teenager it is good to have something to focus on away from school, its like a little journal of self discovery and expression and unbelievably it could be a career choice for me. I like the idea of having no rules and not having someone telling me what to do and moaning at me. I think i'll always be happy doing blogging because i am doing something that i enjoy.

I don't have twitter and don't like using facebook so my blog is my main expression apart from tumblr and frankly i love the concept of blogging.

So here are some tips for you and me on how to blog!;)

 

 

-Add pictures to any necessary blog post, it makes the page look and feel more interesting

 

-Delegate a notebook especially for blogging to jot any notes and ideas down so you don't forget and can expand those ideas

 

-In your blogging notebook you can always write out a tester of what you want as a blog post and then you can easily change it and make it the best it can be

 

 

-Try and make your blog posts as frequent as possible but don't feel pressured its supposed to be fun!

 

-Try and be unique and come up with new ideas and most importantly be yourself

 

 

-Leave a little introduction in the side bar about you and your blog

 

 

- Make sure to take advantage of the spellcheck

 

 

-Follow other blogs to see what everyone else is doing for inspiration and get involved in the blogging community

inspiration

Recently i was cruising through pinterest and i came across these 3 inspirational phrases and thought it would be a good idea to share them. They would make great tattoos as well. I think pinterest is great because unlike tumblr it keeps everything in one place. My link is in the side bar. Enjoy and hope your having a great day.

Hi guys and a happy new year! What a cheery start to this post. I have recently been inspired by the amount of blogposts and you tube videos on new years resolutions and new beginnings. Admittedly 2013 doesn't sound good but i personally have a good feeling about this year. Things can only get better, right? I have never properly made new years resolutions i can just remember people going on about chocolate and how depressing the whole thing sounded. Hopefully this post will set me up for a good amount of blogposts as i known that i have been a bit MIA (not really sure what this means it is mrs' unavailable isn't it :/ ha ha.) but to be perfectly honest i just haven't been feeling like it really and i am passionate about blogging and what to express and show that through the means of writing and make this a positive place for both me and you. So here we go !

 

I have made a list and I'm going to share them with you.

 

-Drink more water-

I know water isn't the most tastiest of drinks and being a 15 year old teenager i doubt many people my age actually care about things like apart from a few girls as we like to look after our beloved skin. I also just what to feel healthy and be full of energy. I do drink quite a lot of water anyway but i want to be able to keep it up as it will make me feel better and i actually maybe quite weirdly enjoy drinking water i find it quite refreshing.

 

-Eating healthier-

I'm definitely not the biggest fan of sport but i did somehow find myself enjoying the Olympics this year. yay! Instead or as well as trying to exercise i want to be able to control what i eat more by swapping the bad for the good. I will admit at this moment in time (whitney alert) i am not feeling my best not only do i feel a bit tubby ( i refuse to use the f word, only code words aloud!:)) i do feel unhealthy and i am going through a bit of a rough patch at the minute and want to perk myself up in as many ways as i can.

 

-Exercise-

Like i said in the healthy eating section i'm not the biggest fan of exercise but i do want to be healthier and i think excercising will give me something to focus on and make my mood lift what with all the endorphins. I have never liked sport and i certainly hate running in front of people and i can barely run a few hundred yards so hopefully i can do some walking or/and do some Pilate's and yoga classes and they aren't as frantic as running and i can't join a gym yet as i am only 15. what a shame haha.

 

-Skin and hair care-

As a beauty lover i really want to be able to maintain a healthy skin and hair care routine. My skin is awful as in it is both dry and oily because i have an oily t-zone and dry cheeks which basically just makes me feel dirty. As for my hair it is quite fine and very damaged for all the time i spent straightening it but since my operation on my ears (which i had during October but i'm not that up for writing or talking about it but maybe later, who knows)i have become more confident and absolutely adore being able to wear my hair up.

 

-Read more-

I definitely used to be into reading the gossip mags but now not so much i might go as far to say as i hate them because all they do is spread negativity and bitchiness but it is quite addictive so i do tend to look on the intern et but hopefully i will never buy another OK magazine again! i much prefer the old company magazine its got much more variety and my grandma buys the teenage mag like bliss its like a tradition every Friday me my brother and sister go round for dinner and she'll kindly buy as a magazine each and those magazines are far less bitchy. As well as continuing to stay on the less bitchy side of the magazines i also want to start reading more books. I received 2 autobiographies for Christmas by Miranda and the other by David walliams so they will hopefully keep me busy. I don't mind autobiographies i actually find them really interesting just like i love a good documentary on channel 4. haha. I myself purchased a book called 'the fault in our stars' by 'John Green'. i have already read a lot of it and will hopefully get round to doing a review. Books just seem more intelligent and i want to widen my book collection. What with the world being a technology frenzy( that reminds me of g-force the film about the guinea pigs that i watched today haha) and i want to maintain a good book collection also.

 

-Go to sleep earlier-

I am absolutely guilty of staying up all night on my laptop all night so here's to going to bed at 11 at the latest. I also want to be able to wake up bright and early in the morning and not have wasted half of my day.

 

-Be more positive and sociable-

Unfortunately what with going through a rubbish time i genuinely want to make this year count and to become less of a worrier. i want to be able to not think of all the bad things that can happen and to be able to find the positive in what i'm going through and in any other situation i find myself in and to make the most of things. Hopefully going out more and being able to find the strength to do so will help me also.

 

p.s i am going to try and cut celebrity big brother out of my life as it can get a bit depressing so hopefully i can stick to that easy yet hard task as i am a big fan!

 

I love doing lifestyle posts, sorry if this was a bit long.

Let me know what your new year resolutions are!

happy 2013

Tips and tricks

Hi guys i have a new post for you today. I'm on a roll.
I have been gathering ideas how to add little and effective ways to improve an outfit and here it is. Enjoyx

-Roll up ends of trousers, shirts and jackets. This tip is good if you want to achieve a cool and casual look.
-Buying a bigger a size is a great tip because it gives a totally different effect than a tighter top would as in i've tried but not too hard. It produces a very relaxed outfit. It fits in well with grunge and boho looks too.

-Some may say that trainers are not fashionable and that the days of wearing trainers are over after the playground days are finished and should are only acceptable at the gym. For me trainers are a must have, a definite staple item, they look stylish, can add a twist to a girly outfit, make an outfit look more urban and casual. If you having a lazy day you can always get away with wearing a comfy and cheeky trainer. I do tend to gravitate to the branded trainer such as nike and converse. These two are defo my favourites.

-Not everyone has the confidence to wear a hat but its a fun way to make a statement and change an outfit up. You'll look instantly trendy.

-Experimenting with the colours and lengths can make an outfit. So go buy some ankle ones with frills for a vintage look, over the knee socks or even knee high socks.

-Layering necklaces always adds a unique twist to an outfit especially if there is some chunky chains mixed in with some dainty necklaces.

-Tucking t-shirts into trousers, shorts or skirts makes an oufit look more put together and more vintage looking.

-A hippy headband is a great way to accesorise an outfit and one of my favourites whether its colourful or simple that always look awesome.

-Lastly, to make a vintage look even more vintage add a brooch to make it look a bit more personal and indeering.

thanks for reading

Lots of love daisyx

Feeling glum?

hi guys.
Ever thought winter was a bit boring and miserable why not inject a bit of happiness with some bright colours. not only will it cheer you up in the cold winter months you will appear like a daring, confident fashionista looking reminiscent of the awesome 80's. You could add a bright colour to the lips like a bright pink -i have one from topshop which is still available, in brighton rock-.
Painting the nails is a also a good choice why not try a vibrant yellow because a girls always got to have her nails done and this way its more subtle and gives an interesting twist to a look, focusing the eye somewhere different.
But if you want to go the whole way why not buy a bright jumper stylish and weather friendly.Its always nice to have a bright block colour in an outfit. Why not try something new and be daring. i hope i have given some style inspo and don't let the winter get you down and make you stop wearing bright colours.

Style icon-Claudia winkleman

Todays post is about the lovely claudia winkleman.She is a tv and radio personality whos had a very successful career starting back in the 90's. I have always admired her for her distinct fashion and personal appearence. I love the way her make-up is always matt and her eyes always have black eyeliner around them. Her hair is also very distinct it is always short with a fringe and very choppy, sharp and blunt. She hasn't changed the colour. For me she has totally made a statment that seperates her from anyone else but it is very laid back and simple.i look to her for inspiration whether that be her make-up or fashion. Her fashion always tends to be quite tailored or floaty and glamorous. Block colours are another thing she is seen in. If she is not in a bright block colour most of the colours she wears will be quite neautral. i would normally associate her with black clothing. She is definitley one of my icons.
Hope you enjoyed this post and that you too can take some inspiration from it x
