I Can't Wait For Autumn!

Hey everybody! How is it going? Sorry I haven't posted in the past week. I just needed a week to think abut my life. I'm young and I just needed to think. Mainly thinking about boys ( so typical of me) and dance (because I really want to learn). Sad thing though, my family is in a bit of financial trouble and I asked my mum (without saying I want to dance) if I can do something after school and she said no because we can't afford it, so that was great. Having your dreams shattered in front of you. Never mind that, today's post is going to be about what I am most exited for in Autumn. I have so many things of what I'm excited for ( you will be surprised) so today I'm just going to put everything in a nutshell and just pick my top fave things! These are also in no particular order because I just love these things so much!  Autumn and Winter are my favourite times of the year so I'm going to tell you guys what I'm most excited for.

1.Cosy Jackets, Blankets and Jumpers
I love being cosy. I love wearing oversized comfy jumpers and jackets and I love to burn a candle, have a hot chocolate and cuddle under a blanket watching a movie. Very tumblr but it's my fave thing to do.

2. Bath and Body Works!!
No one can ever describe how much I absolutely LOVE Bath and Body Works! Bath and Body Works are literally one of my favourite things in the whole world. I ADORE their autumn and winter collection and I personally think that all of their best scents come out during this time of year. Not saying that I don't love their summer stuff ( I actually LOVE it) but I just think that Bath and Body Works come out with the best Autumn/ Winter stuff ever! I love scents. I think Bath and Body Works are the best for scents and I just love their candles, body wash ( shower gel) and hand sanitisers because they all smell so nice and I am just obsessed! Just before typing this post I was online shopping for Bath and Body Works! Plus, who else loves the new packaging for their hand sanitisers? I love it! I think that it makes them look so much cuter. The only thing I need to get is a hand sanitiser holder so that I can put it on my school bag and my travel bag. If you couldn't tell I'm a HUGE fan of them. I can't wait to burn a candle!

3. Everything Pumpkin Spice!
I'm literally a walking version of tumblr I swear! I love everything pumpkin spice. To the taste to the smell. I love it so much. Please tell me I'm not the only one?

4. Boots!
I love wearing boots! I think that boots are one of the most stylish and comfy shoes and I think you can put them with anything and you can put together an effortless and pretty outfit. So excited to wear boots!

5. Crunchy Leaves!
I love stepping on the crunchy leaves and hearing the sound of them. I also love the different colours of the leaves and I think that they look gorgeous and so Instagram worthy. Very excited for the leaves to change colours!

6. Hot Chocolates!
I am literally the master of hot chocolates because they are literally my fave drink of all time. Sadly, I have been on a diet ( I will make a blog post about it) so I can't really have much hot chocolate but on Pinterest, I have found a healthy version which I have made and it's actually quite good! I will make a blog post on it!

7. Weather
I. CAN'T. WAIT. FOR. THIS. ONE!!!!!! I love cold weather so  much! As much as I love to be cosy, I love cold weather so much!! I can't wait to feel the crisp weather on my face and the cold wind. Eeek! I'm so excited. Where I live, there are basically no seasons. It's either hot or cold and mainly very polluted! October, November and February are the best months were I live and I just can't wait for those months! I can't wait to wear my jackets, my leggings and so much more! So excited!

8. HALLOWEEN!
I can't wait for this day so much. Fact: Bestie's birthday is on halloween so I love to spend the day with her. I'm starting to like scary things. I used to be that person where they would hate trick or treating, hate anything scary and would rather watch a funny movie than a horror film. But, I have started to change because I am starting to like jump scares and scaring people. I am very excited for halloween and I don't know how to express this!

And that is everything in a nutshell that I am excited for in Autumn. Just to note that I have changed my blog posts a bit. You guys have all heard that I love 'Whispies' but they are actually call 'Wisp' and they are by Colgate. Just to make it easier for you guys to find and buy so anywhere that I have mentioned Whisp on my blog, I have now changed it and updated it.Make sure to comment some more if I have left any out! I will be posting more fun and exciting blog posts once school settles and I am on track and organised with all my work I have to do! Remember to give me feedback and comment Q&A questions for my Q&A blog post which will be posted really soon! Keep an eye out for updates on my blog and I will tell if I have updated anything! Remember, I'm going to do a contest for who is going to collab blog posts with me! To enter, just be an active follower and email me (itsjustthatgirl123@gmail.com) what you would like to do and see in a blogpost, why you want to collab with me and your favourite places to be at during the summer holidays! Thank you guys so much for reading and see you guys soon!

Long Hair Problems

Hi people! What is up? Today's post is going to be about long hair problems. My hair is literally down to my but so I have some experiences with long hair. It's always greasy, knotted and usually a mess so I thought it would be funny to do a long hair problems blog post. Also, can you guys help me? I don't know what I did to the design of my blog but now everything that was usually at the side is now at the bottom which I hate so if you can, please help me because I can't find anything to help me! Without further of due, let's get on with the post!

1. When I put it up either in a bun or ponytail, I automatically have the most terrible knots!
Please don't tell me I'm the only one! This happens to me every time I put my hair up! You don't want to even imagine what it is like. I can literally be brushing the knots out for 30 minutes I'm being serious!

2. When I am putting it up, my arms get sore!
I can't be the only one! I have such long and thick hair that It's actually hurting my arms. Whenever I tie my hair up I literally have to rest half way through! It's just a workout!

3. It hurts when you put it up!
OMG YES! All the time. I actually have to take out my ponytail every hour and re do it because it ALWAYS hurts my head!

4. When making a bun, it only turns out to be looking like a birds nest!
Story of my life in one sentence. I love buns so much I think that they look so cute but not on me. It literally looks like a birds nest and that something died on the top of my head.

5. Trying to think of what to say when someone says "you have such long hair!"
Don't even want to get into this. What am I meant to say? Thanks?!?!

6. When someone is playing with my hair and they complain its dead and gross!
I don't know abut you guys but this happens to me literally all the time! Mainly because I'm too lazy to do my hair so I get one of my friends to do it for me. It's like what am I meant to say? I know my hair is dead and gross but you don't need to tell me!

7. When I look at all these cute shorter hairstyles and I know I'm too scared to cut my hair
Story of my life in a nutshell! Literally I get jealous of people with short hair because I really want to do it because I hate my hair being as long as it is but I know I'm way too scared to actually get it cut!

8. When I wake up in the morning with the worst knots ever seen in the world
I don't even want to speak about this one, it's a total nightmare!

9. Having your hair curled but then they drop within 5 minutes because your hair is so heavy
*cries* so not fair because I love gentle waves in my hair!

10. When someone asks me "Why don't you donate it?"
This annoys me so much because I have a friends who dotes her hair every 2 years and she always gets me to do it. Guys trust me, I would love to donate my hair but I'm too scared to cut at least 8 inches off my hair (even if it would still be really long). Fact about me, When I was in the first grade, I donated 12 inches of hair.

11. "When was the last time you cut your hair?"
*cue angry face here*

12. "Omg I love the colour of your hair! Do you dye it?"
No I do not dye my hair. My hair is a reddish, strawberry blonde, brunette type of colour with a natural ombre (not all the way to blonde) and I have natural highlights and low lights. Seriously guys I don't dye my hair like please stop asking!

13. My hair won't fit into swimming caps!
This used to be a nightmare for me when I used to swim. I'm just going to leave that there.

14. When it's windy out and when I get all hot and bothered!
ALL. THE. KNOTS. I. CAN'T. EVEN. DEAL. !!!.

And that is it! Hopefully you guys can agree with me! Make sure to comment some more if I have left any out! I will be posting more fun and exciting blog posts once school settles and I am on track and organised with all my work I have to do! Remember to give me feedback and comment Q&A questions for my Q&A blog post which will be posted really soon! Keep an eye out for updates on my blog and I will tell if I have updated anything!

Sometimes, Life Can Be Hard And Very Mean

Hi everyone! So incredibly sorry that I couldn't post last Friday. Things were a bit hectic so I decided to write this post about why I couldn't blog anything. If you read my post 'Guys, I'm Sorry And I Need Your Help Urgently!!!', then you might have an idea of what has been happening to me and if not, please read that post because it is really important. I want to explain more of what happened since then. Without further of due, let's get started.

I last informed you guys that Bestie was ignoring me. She still is. She has been the biggest coward to me because she is scared of the Twins. When I got the train with her last week, we were talking about the situation and she turned around and said " This is also extremely hard for me because the Twins are still my best friends and its so awkward because you guys are fighting" I got so extremely mad because last year (when I was still friends with the Twins) the Twins were so rude and horrible, mean disgusting all those things and so I sacrificed my relationship with the Twins so that I can stick with Bestie and support her and when it comes to my situation, she isn't helping me like I did for her. When we were walking to school and coming into the building, Bestie just suddenly stopped and so I stopped too because I thought something was wrong. I asked her "Why have you stopped? Are you ok?" She turned around and said "Move go into the school already." I then realised that Bestie didn't even wanted to be seen with me coming into school and I got so mad and upset and extremely disappointed. I now think, maybe Bestie isn't my best friend anymore because best friends will ever do this to each other no matter what!

Before our assembly, Dear Friend told me that the Twins are bad mouthing my sister and not to vote for her for school president. (My sister is running for school president and the Twins hate me therefore, they hate my sister.) And Dear Friend told me the types of things they were saying and I was shocked. I messaged my mum and told her and she emailed the school and I ran to find my sister and I told her as well.

It was during assembly that I started to get really anxious. My heart was racing, I couldn't breathe and  I started to get all clammy and I knew a panic attack was about to happen. I felt like I was going to cry. I managed to fight it through assembly but before going into my first period, I messaged my mum saying I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack and I'm just going to start crying. Guess what happened? I walked into class (it was french and one of the Twins were in there cause she is in the same class as me but she shouldn't because its an advanced class and she has people holding her hand all the way and she is just way too dumb) and just had a panic attack and just left immediately. I rushed to my locker (while I was still shaking and  crying and I couldn't breathe) and started messaging my mum and crying to her on the phone and having a huge panic attack. Luckily a few minutes later, my extremely nice form tutor (who absolutely hates the Twins and who I spoke to about my situation the day before this happened) came and found me and comforted me and she didn't even care that I had my phone in my hand which was very lucky and she made me feel a bit better. I managed to go back to class and get through with first and second period.

Then it was recess and the Principal called me in. I explained everything and what happened and how I'm barely affected by the twins and that my panic attack was just from me overthinking my situation and being overwhelmed by Bestie and how she has been treating me. My principal then told me that I was handling everything amazingly and beautifully and that she has never seen anyone like me handle bullies so well and so obviously I was really happy and I gained a bit of my confidence back. I went to speak to my sister to explain what happened in my morning and I found her talking to the Twins about bad mouthing her. Luckily, my sister's best friend (who is basically another sister to me) was there so I stuck with her and she made me feel better. The Twins were then so mad at me being confident (because they got called in by the principal and they got in trouble before I went to speak to the principal) and that I didn't get in trouble and that my sister had a word with them. They then went on the phone crying to their dad and then their dad called mine being really angry. Thing is, the Twins always think they are a target an no one likes them because they are so horrible so obviously that was gonna happen. Rest of the day was fine until lunch recess and the principal called the 3 of us in to talk and we all agreed to be friends or at least to get along. As soon as I got out of there, I learned 3 lessons:
1. Trust no one
2. Sometimes, life can be hard and very mean
3. Sometimes, the people you say are your friends are actually there to stab you in the back

The rest of that week was fine but that brings me to today. There was a community event happening today and so my sister tried to lobby with everyone to try and get people to vote for her. She came to me and my friends to lobby and of course, the Twins were there and after every word she said, they rolled their eyes and said to their other friends "I'm definitely not voting for her." And just started saying the rudest things which I should probably never repeat in my life. The majority of my friends said of course they are going to vote for my sister and the Twins and 2 of their minions were asking dumb questions are started being incredibly  rude. Not even incredibly, beyond extremely rude so I told my sister to leave it and that they were just being little idiots ad to not even waste a breath on them and so my sister and I left, with our heads held high looking really confident. When I turned around though (which I regret doing) they were laughing at me and my sister and pointing fingers but I just left it and thought " They can be as rude as they want because they are never going to affect me!"

And that is a recap informing you guys. Hopefully you guys can help me in any way possible because it would mean a lot to me.  I will be posting more fun and exciting blog posts once school settles and I am on track and organised with all my work I have to do! Remember to give me feedback and comment Q&A questions for my Q&A blog post which will be posted really soon! Keep an eye out for updates on my blog and I will tell if I have updated anything!

5 Things I Try To Remember When Anxious

Hey guys! How is it going? Today's post is going to be about 5 things I try to remember when I get anxious. If you did not know, I suffer with anxiety since a very young age so today I'm hopefully going to help some of you out by tell you 5 things I try to remember when I get anxious.

1. Don't Over Think
I over think way too much more than an average person would normally do. (If that made any sense) When I other think situations, I get anxious and a bit scared and I always make my self worse and sometimes I just have to remind my self that I just need to take a deep breath and remember that it's all in my head. That is much easier said than done but honestly, over thinking is one of the main reasons why I get anxious. I just want to help you guys and say that don't over think the situation that you are in and just take one thing at a time. Take it like baby steps because I promise you, you will feel much better!

2. Everything Is Going To Be Ok
I need to take my advice on this more often than I normally do. But if I'm in a situation that I'm getting anxious in, I always need to tell myself that everything is going to be ok. I know, this is also much easier said than done but honestly, if you get anxious, I recommend just reminding yourself that everything is going to be ok and pretty soon, you're going to be where you are comfortable and less anxious. If anyone is reading this with anxiety, please do this because I promise it will help make things better.

3. What Can You Do To Make Yourself Feel Less Anxious
I always try to think a way out of me being anxious and I promise you, it helps. If I am in a public place and it is crowded and I'm getting hot and clammy and just extremely anxious, here are some of the things that I will do;
1. Drink water slowly because it slows your heart rate down
2. Tie my hair up and just get it out my face and off my body and just so that  it  is down and making me more hot
3. Grab my phone and just listen to calming music and hope that is slows my heart rate down and makes me less anxious
Those are some examples of what I would do to make my self less anxious and hopefully if you think about how you can make yourself less anxious, I want you to know that it helps the situation.

4. It Will Be Over Soon
Anxiety generally lasts for 20 mins the most and I actually like knowing that because I like to know that it wont last long (even though it feels like forever) and if you keep that piece of info on the back of your mind, it will help for sure.

5. Try To Think Why I Am Getting Anxious
This seems WAY easier said then done but honestly you have to try to think about this. It's the last thing you want to think about, but it will help in the situation you are in, because once you figure out what is making you anxious, you can change it and you will hopefully you become less anxious like I do. Here is a situation that I was in;
I was really sick one day and I had to take the train to get to a meeting and I was so sick that I couldn't think and so I got really anxious. What was my solution? My solution was to just follow the crowd because will eventually lead to the exits. My solution worked and I made it to my meeting on time. I think this is one of the most important thing to think about and hopefully it works for you!

I will be posting more fun and exciting blog posts once school settles and I am on track and organised with all my work I have to do!

What I Want To Be When I Grow Up

Hey people! Happy Friday! How have you guys been? I hope it is going super well! If it's not, just remember, its the weekend!!!! YAY! I am so happy for it to be a weekend and you will probably understand why if you read my last blog post. I also mentioned in my last blog post that I want to be more personal with you guys so today I'm going to tell you, what I want to be when I grow up. Hope you enjoy reading it!

I always get asked the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and to be honest, I also just shrug and say I don't know when really deep down inside, I know what I want to be but people think differently to what I think of my self. I feel like no one really knows me too well ( hence why I started an anonymous blog about me) and sometimes I'm just embarrassed and scared to what people will think of me but below I'm going to mention what I want to be when I grow up and no one will judge me!

1. Singer
I love to sing so incredibly much. I actually feel weird expressing this and putting it down somewhere because I haven't told anyone. I have never had a voice lesson but I just loved to sing! When I was 3, my parents bought me a play microphone and I remember my parents filming me and taking photos of me with that microphone. In the third grade, I didn't really love the girls in my class and they weren't very nice to me so in my break time, I would just walk around the play ground and sing. I always sang quietly to my self and if anyone came up to me I would just immediately stop. One day, the girls in my class were playing 'American Idol' (if you don't know what that show is, I'm sorry but you have been living under a rock and you need to research the show) and the girls asked me to be a girl version of Ryan Seacrest and I was like sure because I was bored. All the girls had their turns and then suddenly they asked me if I wanted to sing and I was like "Um YES!" so I sang 'We Found Love' by Rihanna. The girls thought I was amazing. I remember them whispering "Oh My Gosh she is so good!" and that just gave me the best confidence ever and I enjoyed singing in front of them. Ever since then, I have had this passion to sing. In the fourth grade, there was a choir which you would think I would enjoy. I hated it. Why? Well because, the songs were terrible, the teacher was crazy and it was just baby songs and it put pressure on me because I have always been an anxious person and when teachers would come near me to see if I was singing, (I sang very quietly because I was scared that people were gonna find out I could sing and then expect more from me and I liked keeping my voice a secret) I would just stop because I got scared and just froze. Obviously in the end of the year, I got a bad grade for choir but that was a long time ago now. I love to sing and one day, I hope that I will have the balls to decide to show people, I can actually sing.

2. Dance
I want to learn how to dance so incredibly much! When I was younger, I used to do ballet with my best friend and it was my favourite thing in the world. This was when I was about 3-5 years old. I was the best in my class and it was the best thing ever. I also used to do hip hop and I loved it so much as well just having so much fun! I only quit because my best friend did and I really wish I didn't because I want to learn how to do it so incredibly much now. My favourite show is dance moms but that isn't the reason why I want to dance because of the people on dance moms. I want to learn how to express my self as a person. I'm the type of person who shut my emotions off and just bottle it up and I want to learn how to get into something and make me learn how to express my self. Also I want to learn how to; stand a little taller, speak a little louder and have the confidence that dance brings you. I have been wanting this for nearly a year now and every night I have been stretching in my room secretly and trying to learn simple dance moves and I have been searching videos on youtube and I have been enjoying it so much. Again, I am kind of a tomboy and people don't expect it from me and my parents can't afford being able to pay for dance lessons and with dancers my age, they are so incredible but I know that if I work hard, I will able to impress people if I just learn how to do it because dance is so unique. I keep on playing situations in my head about things that would've happened if I learned to dance and I know that I have to speak soon before it gets too late!

3. Actress
I love acting and I am actually really good at it! Yet again, no one expects it from me being the anxious, stage fright person that I am. I love to entertain people and I just want to show people that yes I get anxious and stage fright but I can do this. Drama is actually my favourite subject and I know that, if I want to show people that I can act and do what I love to do, I have to take opportunity I have no matter if I'm anxious or not. There is so much more to why I want to act but those reasons are a bit too personal.

4. YouTuber
This job just seems so fun and amazing. I have decided to start a blog first before a youtube channel because I just don't have enough confidence in me to show my face on the internet yet and for everyone to hear my voice. My favourite thing to do is watch tons of youtube videos and I feel like its a place for me to escape and watch people live their lives on the internet and watch their amazing content. I am so inspired by the you tubers I watch because they are just amazing people who can mange to entertain millions of people while staying in their comfort zone which is something I would love to do. I love Zoella (Zoe Sugg). She is my absolute favourite and she inspires me so much that you wouldn't understand. She has helped me so much with my anxiety and I just love to know that she is there, behind my back because she suffers from anxiety too and she knows what it feels like and its something that no one can ever describe and yet, I don't even know her personally. I am so proud of her and one day, I hope to be like her, living my dream and just inspire people. The only thing that is stopping me is my anxiety but one day, I know I'm going to become a you tuber.

Those are all the things I would love to do when I grow up. Hopefully I can do all 4 if I'm lucky. It feels so nice just putting it somewhere else except for my head! What do you want to do when you grow up? Make sure to comment it down below! I will be posting more fun and exciting blog posts once school settles and I am on track and organised with all my work I have to do! Remember to give me feedback and comment Q&A questions for my Q&A blog post which will be posted really soon! Keep an eye out for updates on my blog and I will tell if I have updated anything!
