Hello Bloggerbeans,

At the moment books have been my life. I used to read a lot however I feel like I have abandoned reading for other things. I do enjoy reading and its something I plan on doing more now i have some good books that I haven't read. 

The first book that I have started reading is the first book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I can't believe that before last weekend I had never watched any of the movies and had no idea of what they were even about! I am so glad my friends recommended them to me.

 Because i needed to do a lot of catching up (approximately 4 and half hours worth), I ended up watching both Hunger Games movies (the Hunger Games and catching fire) in one night on Saturday before watching the third movie (Mockingjay: part one) on Sunday with Sian! I fell in love with the whole story line and plot and felt like it was such a good opportunity to read the book so I could get a deeper grasp of what the characters are like.

It is now Wednesday and i am three chapters in on the first book and so far there are lots of minor details which were left out in the film adaptation. The book goes into a lot of detail which is why at the moment I am preferring the book to the film. However i have roughly another 23 chapters to go so who knows!

I just wanted to mention that I did get these books second hand and considering they are rather popular and new books, they were not expensive at all. I got mine from Oxfam which donates all its profits to charity and their bookshop is like finding little treasures as I did not expect to find such awesome books there!

So Bloggerbeans, Is there any books that you plan on getting round to read?

I ordered Zoe's new book which came today and I am so excited to read it. The Hunger Games has taken priority at the moment so Girl Online will have to wait a couple of weeks.

Bye Bye internet chums x

Hello Bloggerbeans,

My morning today was filled with lots of things that I needed to do ready for when I go to college. These included discussing the fun topic of my future! (YEY!) I have a pretty rough idea of what I want to do, which is doing something with acting, however today was about preparing myself for when I will have to go and be interviewed for colleges which will only be a couple of months away (*Gasps*). We spent the day writing our C.V's and personal statements and even had a mock interview so we are prepared for when we have the real thing.

Because of this day, our school was off timetable and the year 11's were expected to come in smartly dressed. When I found out about the dress code I did slightly panic as most of my clothes are very informal and I needed to look half decent! I spent the whole of last night trying to come up with outfit ideas until I came across this combination which I rather do adore as it is smart yet really comfortable.

I wore a black dress with a black and white striped bottom which was from Primark, some tights which were also from Primark, my mums Brand new cardigan (which she let me borrow) with the top two buttons done up and my school brogue shoes which are from Shoe Zone.

Hello Bloggerbeans,

I feel like it is time for another inspiring post and I have decide that this segment of my blog will be called 'Thoughtful Thursday' (Thank you Katie for coming up with this awesome catchy title!).

Kindness is a big thing and you should be kind to everyone; your friends, family, colleagues and strangers! Everyone should be respectful towards each other.

The saying 'kill them with kindness' is about taking the upper ground and being the better one and being nice even if they are reluctant to be kind back. Normally people who are not very nice to people are hurt inside and so inflict their pain onto others to make them feel the way they feel and that is not kind, nor is fair. This is why you should never be picky in who you are kind to, share your kindness out like confetti! 

Random acts of Kindness are great ways of showing this! (They are free and are very easy to do!) This could be from opening a door for someone right to comforting someone who you see is upset and being there for them, or helping someone out. 

Your task for this week is to do a 'Random act of kindness'. It won't just make the recipient feel happy, it will make you feel happy about yourself. This week my Random act of Kindness is to be kinder and not pre judge people. 

Whats your Random act of kindness going to be BloggerBeans?

Before I go I just wanted to draw to your attention to the fact that one of my good friends (xGhostiexx) has started blogging (after much persuasion from me!) and has her own blog which you can view HERE. She posts every Monday so there will be more posts up soon. I would love it if you would all go check her out as it would mean the world to me! If you go to her blog and comment on her most recent post saying 'Welcome to the blogging community, this is my Random act of kindness x', I will know that you have and will check out all you lovely peoples blog who gave her a chance (Just a little incentive...)

Goodbye for now x

Hello Bloggerbeans,

I feel like it has been ages since i last blogged! (Katy, it was only Friday...) Well it did seem like such a long time! Today I have a tag for you which sadly was not created by me however you can enjoy reading my answers. So grab a beverage (or two if you're feeling cheeky) and join me on this question answering journey... Brace yourselves, Its a long one!

When is your birthday?

20th March.

What are 3 of your favourite colours?

Lilac, Sky blue and dark/Ruby red however I love lots of colours! Apart from like a really dark sludgy brown...

What are your favourite quotes?

'Happiness lies within', 'Just say yes!' and 'Live Inspired'

The first one is mine, The second is Zoe's and the last i don't know who was said by but is a little quote on a postcard I have in my room which sums up my life. I do try and live inspired by things around me whether that's other people or just nature.

Are you addicted to YouTube?

Maybe...Haha of course I am. I find YouTube such an inspiring place to be and it makes me happy to see other people happy (If you get what i mean). I have been watching the likes of many YouTubers for a long time including Zoella and Sprinkle of Glitter (Just to name a few) and I am so proud with how far they have come and how much they have achieved. Zoella and Sprinkle of glitter both started out with just their blogs and making YouTube videos on a webcam in their bedroom and now look at them! Zoe has her new book 'Girl online' coming out on the 25th November and also has her own Beauty range and Louise with Louise Live. We also cannot forget about Tanya and her beauty range and the exciting news which we found out recently about her releasing  #Love, Tanya, her book which will be out next year and Dan and Phil's radio show. I am proud to say that I am a follower of theirs and a fan in some respects however I haven't been addicted to YouTube recently because I have been shocked and disappointed about all the negativity that many YouTubers have been receiving on their videos which is hate and bulling. Their is no way else of saying it nicely. What these people are doing is unacceptable.  Zoe, Alfie, and Gabby (Just to name a few) have all talked about this either through their YouTube channel or blog about how they feel about it and how it affects them. It is okay to leave helpful criticism such as saying 'I don't like your lighting in this video however you could always gets some lighting lamps to improve' and I would encourage it here on my blog as anyway that I can improve will hep me a great deal however it's when people step over the line and say things like  'Your lighting's horrible' or even worse adding 'at least I can't see your ugly face.' These are just examples of how wording something totally changes its meaning, not always for the best. I think people need to realize that they are human too and sometimes things can get all too much for them. The best we can do as a community is follow Zoe's advice and ignore the spiteful comments and only interact with the positives and eventually the positives will outweigh the negatives.

What are 3 of your favourite shows on TV or YouTube or both?

I don't know any shows on YouTube so I am going to have to go with TV shows. My first has to be Dr who! I am a massive Whovian and have been since the age of 6 and I am a dedicated New who fan who has actively watched every episode to date. My second has to be a TV show that my friend Katie got me interested in which is Sherlock and lastly I would have to pick a guilty pleasure of mine which would have to be Russell Howard's good news. Always. Makes. Me. Laugh.

What are 3 qualities you like in a best friend?

Being able to trust them is a biggie as the last thing anyone wants is a dishonest friend who ends up telling everything you have told them in trust and confidence to the whole world. Being able to make me happy is another one as I find when i'm with my friends I am a WHOLE lot happier as a person and the same goes for them (I hope!) Finally they have to be friendly of course!

Do you like your name?

Its alright I guess. I would prefer it spelt Katy with a y as that is how I spell it on my blog and YouTube and I also think it looks nicer however its not the end of the world. My last name Shortened to Summers also isn't that bad really.

*What is your Dream to become in life?

 I dream about just being successful in what ever I decide to do in life and just do the best i can.

Do you wear makeup?

Sometimes. I do put on a little for school and when i mean a little I do mean that. I have a really oily face complexion so I am prone to spots so the best treatment is to not cover them up with tonnes of makeup as i know from experience that makes them worse. I do put a touch of Concealer on any very red spots to just make them less noticeable but even some days i can't even be bothered to do that. I hate mornings sooo much that I have mastered the art of getting up and ready in ten minutes straight which includes getting dressed, doing my hair and any makeup if none at all!

I think that wearing no makeup is totally okay and girls should understand this however it is okay to wear makeup if you want to but you shouldn't feel like you have to. I think many girls are taught that looking beautiful means putting makeup on however I think we should embrace a naked face every once in a while as it doesn't just make you feel more confident in your own skin it also has some health benefits to. You should try to have a makeup free day once a week as it gives your face a rest and reduces the chances of your pores getting blocked.

If you could write a book, what would the title be and what would it be about?

The book would be called 'Breaking The rules of society' and it would be about breaking the associated stereotypes and rules that 'Society' has stated.

What makes you cry?

Sad films mainly. I am weird in the sense that if i see someone cry whether that's in front of me or on TV I just end up tearing up with them. It's just a strange habit which always happens. 

What makes you angry?

Ignorant people.

What makes you happy?

Happiness is... Friends, My guinea pigs, Family, shopping. Everything that inspires me!

What is Fangirling?

This question is best explained by the lovely Daniel Howell

What are your three favourite snacks?

Hello Bloggerbeans!,

I did say earlier in my Avon haul post that I would be writing again tonight. Blogging has become a passion for me and as many of you know I decided I would blog every Tuesday and Friday. I just want to let you know that I will still be uploading on these days however if I do not upload it is mainly because I don't have any inspiration or ideas for a post. This has happened a couple of times and I don't want to feel like I am expected to write one if this happens as I would rather wait until I had a idea as I want my posts to be the best they can.
