Small acts of kindness

Check out the YouTube video we created:

- we targeted random people on the grounds of Macquarie University and gave them positive messages and put a smile on their faces.

pink sugar, bitch.

Are YOU unhappy or down in the dumps?
Do YOU have something in the back of your mind that's been irking you for far too long now?

Well, my fellow sweet-tooth-ers, worry no more- it's back and it's better than ever- 


      *~~!fairy floss!~~*

The love of my life,
the apple of my eye,
the joy to my world.
Oh, fairy floss!
*sigh*




Fairy floss, or cotton candy, as my friendlings up North like to call it, is basically just sugar.
"Just sugar?" you say.
NO. Not JUST.
Pure sugar goodness on a stick, coated with a soft pink texture.

Sugar makes you happy. It's a fact.
Not really, but I'd love to think so.
Nearly as much as I'd love to pretend that it's good for me :(
if only, if only.
But hey, in all seriousness, there's a message here- you don't have to rely on your present activities and shebangabangs to amuse or entertain you in order to feel happy again.
It's always possible to take a step back into the future into the days of those carnivals and circuses when all we ever ate was popcorn and fairy floss. (Speaking of which- I highly recommend you visit a circus in the near future, NO MATTER YOUR AGE GROUP- I visited one last night and it was absolutely riveting)

Adios for now, my chums
lots of love and sugar!

Attitude? Gurl you know it! 

Attitude is everything. It is how we are different. it is how we express ourselves in good and bad ways. It is every girl's similar trait but in very different ways 

If you have a bad attitude you’re more likely to be negative, rude, off-putting, unmotivated and have a bad outlook on life

Our attitude governs the way we perceive the world and the way the world perceives us.

Keith Harrell explains to us the loudest and most influential voice you hear is your inner voice, your independent critic. I absolutely agree with this statement. In life we should (even they we don't all the time) aim to achieve our aspirations whether they may be to be a successful business manger or become a professional soccer player. We should aim to better ourselves and the accomplish things along the way. No matter how many people are around you telling you how good you are, you will always be your toughest critic. This can work with you or against you depending on your attitude.

Your attitude can:

      Be pessimistic or optimistic

      Drag you down or cheer you on

      Make you give up or push forward

These 10 tips will hopefully turn that frown upside down and transform your attitude into a ray of sunshine.

1.      Talk positively to yourself.

2.      Find an activity you enjoy and that motivates you

3.      Visual things you want to achieve

4.      Don’t doubt yourself. Always believe you can do something

5.      Use the power of words

6.      Be friendly

7.      Be enthusiastic

8.      Laugh. Lighten up your life with humour

9.      Focus on the good things in your life

10.  When you feel down, talk to someone you trust. Don’t bottle it up

peace out xo

Antibiotics > bacteria

“I'm so fat”

“I'm so dumb”

“I'm so sick of this world”

“I don't know what to do with my life anymore”

“Everything sucks”

“That just dropped my self-esteem”

Admit it, at some stage in your life, you've used one or more of these sentences. But the real question is, how do we prevent ourselves from saying them again?

Negativity is contagious. But you must be that 'antibiotic' that works hard to stop the 'bacteria' from spreading around your body and causing harmful damage to it.

Being strong, being positive and optimistic is not hard and it's not easy as well. However, you may or may have not noticed, but the amount of energy negativeness takes away from you is much much more than actually putting the effort to be happy, strong and positive.

Now, once your content with your life, another will look at you and will be inspired and also motivated to accept themselves and also be happy. It's a domino effect. It's contagious.

When your ill, people want to stay away from you... or in some circumstances you want them to stay away. But when your healthy, people tend to surround themselves around you. Same goes when your positive.

Have a good day homies,

what makes me happy.

Cats.
You heard me.
Cats.

Majestic, wonderful cats.

why do i like cats?
because they are so soft and cuddly.
who needs a heater when you have a self warming cuddle machine?
cats are silly.
their curiousity allows them to do adorable and wonderful things
they are arrogant and are a constant reminder that most things only come when they need you.
but, they represent strength, courage and persistence.

for a long time, the thing that brightened my day every day was my loyal cat strotting half way down the road to greet me, meow, and say hello.
i think everyone with a pet can understand how much of an impact they can have on their lives
it can be a bond that nothing else can break.
nothing else would break
not that you would ever want it to.

Because you only live once..
