Think Happy...12/52...

Hello, how is everyone? I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and enjoyed the time with friends and family.

1. Christmas!! The first thing on my list this week, since it was so so amazing!! I got so many lovely gifts from my friends and my family, and we had so much lovely food.

 



On Christmas day we had roast beef instead of turkey (we're having that next weekend!) and we pulled a lot of crackers!

 

I also got this beautiful jumper from New Look, and so much jewellery and makeup, which you saw in my previous post.

 

 

2. Boxing day party at my nan's! I have no pictures from this, but I had a great time catching up with my dad's side of the family and eating a lot of pizza!!

 

3. Cats rehearsals yesterday (Sunday). True, I got there an hour late, but we learnt a lot of choreography and lyrics, and I helped Catty choreograph some extra parts to put in.

 

4. The weather. The weather has mainly been good over these holidays - the sky has been blue and the air cold but fresh.

 

 

This is the theatre after Cats, when I was waiting to go home. It's hundreds of years old and really is so amazing - I've been earlier in the year to see Steve Leonard for a biology lecture. I can't wait to perform on that stage!!

 

That's all for now, sorry this didn't get posted yesterday, it wasn't a very good time for me, but hopefully I'll be back on track now. Bye!

Think Happy...11/52...

Helloooooooo, this is the second post of today! If you missed the first one, it's right here.

This week has been pretty good, if I do say so. There were so many good things that happened for me!

1. I got Christmas presents at school! This resulted in me carrying around a huge bag full of them at school, but I know what they are, and I can't wait to eat them.

2. I had Cats rehearsals on Tuesday, which went really well and I had a great laugh with the girls (+ Ethan +Harry!). Apart from Ethan locking everyone, including himself!, out of the building, it was hilarious! I had to miss contemporary though, to fit this rehearsal in, which I don't think my teacher/friend was very happy about, if I'm honest, since two other friends from the class were also at Cats with me!

3. I finished school for the holidays at 12pm on Thursday, meaning I could go home and just relax!!

4. Dancing on yesterday, where we had lots of festive games with the little girlies and dance to Kingsland Road's new song!! (It's a free download too, why not get it on your phone?)

Hannah and I had to untangle the rainbow streamers, and there are probably about twenty of them, each had at least 2 knots in!

Myself and Georgie! I love these teeny tiny chairs!!

Hannah has no reason to look so moody in this picture - she's the one who sat underneath my leg!!

Aww, this one's cute :3

 



And this one :)

 

Aaaaaand this one!

 

We also posed for selfies in our lunch break :)

 

 

5. I had more Cats rehearsals today, and they were really good!! I bought a 'limited edition' t-shirt and we choreographed some more, including a lift I do with my friend Imogen!

 

I've also been thinking more about my duet/solo part, and since I get to choreograph it myself, I'm kind of edging towards a duet - I have a couple of really pretty ideas for it!

 

6. BUNTING! I'm sooo happy with it! I'm not quite done, but it's looking ever so pretty :D

 

7. It's 3 days until Christmas!!!!

 

That's it for now, I'll post again tomorrow. Byee!!



Not So Lazy Day Off...

I'm so glad that my school decided to have a teacher training day today, because I really needed to catch up on a lot of sleep! I managed to get quite a lot of things done today, all of them enjoyable.

 

I sharpened my eyeliner pencil, like you do. I love looking at the sharpenings!

Trying on various dresses I've been given. This one is one of my favourites, and now I really want summer to hurry up! Don't get me wrong, I love snuggling down at home and watching movies all day, but the lack of light at this time of year drives me crazy, and it's really bad for photography.

I much prefer spring and summer, where there are long hours of sunlight and there are golden hours, which give amazing chances for photography.

 



Had a lunch of my favourite soup today (oxtail) and it warmed me up so much. All the time I spent in my room this morning chilled me to the core, and I needed something to thaw me out.

I got my advent calendar as well today. I'm not liking the exterior, but it's the chocolates on the inside that matter, so soon I'll be enjoying them.

But if I had to choose my favourite One Direction member, I'd choose Niall without a doubt! We have the same birthday, and he's exactly five years older than I am.

Photography. That's what my afternoon has been made of today. This is my beautiful camera, a Fujifilm Finepix S4400 bridge, which I got for my birthday. This isn't the best picture of it, because of the awful winter light.


Now for my very exciting part of the post! I love my photography, and I was taking a few shots today.

Succulent plants! I think they're so pretty, and this is the one in my window. See it here!

Levitation photography! Oh wow, I love it so much, and it's surprisingly easy! I used this tutorial, and it's so simple to follow. I used a free program called Gimp, and it's pretty similar to Photoshop.

  

A shot of my amazingly lovely dancers' feet.....don't look for too long if you don't like feet! Mine aren't very pretty.

This is probably my least favourite levitation photo: my face is pulling a weird face; I don't know what my hand is doing; and I look strangely flat. But it gets worse before it gets better, as they say. Let's hope my attempts get better soon :)

Thankyou for reading everyone, I really appreciate all of you reading my posts!
