Hello Bloggerbeans!,

Before I start today's post lets just get the elephant out of the room... (A metaphorical Elephant not a real one as I don't think I could hide one without Longleat Zoo finding out!). I didn't post on Friday and I am ever so sorry and I knew that I was going to find it hard to blog during exam season however being me I wanted to try to anyway and this is what happens. I feel like I let myself down a tad however I am doing my best with what limited inspiration I have along with the massive creative block I am experiencing as exam information mushes my brain to nothing. (Such fun!). Onto My Mini Happies for the last couple of days and the weekend:

I finally got my prom dress which is so exciting and has made it even more real that I am actually going. I had such a great time with Katie and Lauren trying dresses on with Sian coming with us for support. We tried on so many dresses it felt like a workout by the end of it! After a long time trying on all sorts I FOUND THE ONE! I don't want to give spoilers on what it looks like as you will see in a prom based post in the future but it is very me in the sense that it is a long floaty minimalistic dress in my favourite colour. I have my bag and some bracelets I plan on wearing with the dress but I still need to get my shoes and earrings. I just want to live in my dress now as it is that pretty.

Carries Book came last Saturday which I forgot to mention in last weeks Mini Happies! Carrie Hope Fletcher is a British actress, Vlogger and highly equipped tea maker who through her YouTube channel 'ItsWayPastMyBedtime' creates an array of videos including how to deal with exam stress, Song covers and how to pee in a onesie and is an honorary big sister to her followers who she calls 'Hopefuls' (I am proud to be called a Hopeful). Carrie has always loved to write and last month came the release of her book ' All I Know Now' which I have started reading. Even though my reading list is 7 books long, Carries book skipped straight to the front of the pile! The advice she gives is so insightful and I wish I was given this book going into my teens 3 years ago as I think younger Katy would of benefited from this.

Oh Emma Blackery, Thank you for your videos helping on my revision breaks. (YouTube for the win Everyday!)

I went to the Annual cuckoo fair which is a festival and has lots of funky art, food and jewelry stools which I went with my Buddy Sian. We had a good ol' time buying yummy food (they had Nutella cupcakes!), Stroking rabbits which were for sale there (we named the one in the collage above Kellin Quinn junior just to let you guys know) and I also brought some more friendship style thin bracelets to add to my collection which I always purchase there as they are incredibly cheap. I also won a lot of unnecessary items on tombolas which I have no idea what to do with. When it comes to tombolas I am a lucky charm!

Another Mini Happy which will make this week is extra special is that we celebrate this blog's 1st birthday and you are all invited! Get ready for Friday's post where we can all wear birthday hats, eat lots and lots of scrumptious cake and look back at how far this blog has grown! 

Well farewell for now. I will be back soon! for now though I have a English Language exam to pass so I better go do some more last minute revision,

Catch you later x

Hello Bloggerbeans,

My exams are looming ever closer which is making a little scared as I want to do as best as I can and at the end of the day is all that matters. I am trying very hard to stay positive however it is easier said then done. Down below are mine from the weekend to today:

On Saturday I brought some new canvas shoes in a light blue Colour which I am very happy about as my dark blue 'Tardis' coloured ones are nearly in pieces (Lets just say the sole of the shoe is perhaps non existent!)

Today I had the most relaxing and de-stressing bath ever while watching some past SacconeJoly and Emma Blackery videos. Baths always make me feel a little calmer about everything.

Earlier today I ended up having a DMC with my chumdory Sian which made feel happier discussing stuff that was worrying us (mainly exams). 

I discovered an app called Dub-smash where you 'dub' yourself over clips from TV shows, vines, movies, songs or YouTube videos. This made me laugh lots as I Dubbed myself to Miranda sings wearing her famous red lipstick and to Dan and Phil. They were hilariously funny.

And last but not least I am trying my hardest to cope with what life throws at me and I am proud of myself for still being metaphorically standing. I feared that life was going to knock me off route however I am still going. I just have to keep swimming.

Thank you for putting up with this 'not the best' content. Hopefully I will have something different in store for you guys later on in the week if I get time to write it. for now though,

Hello Bloggerbeans!

Like I said in last Thursday's posts, as my exams loom ever closer I don't have enough time to be writing posts so decided instead of leaving you with nothing (and be left having post blogging withdrawal symptoms) I would post a quick and easy post of 'My Mini Happies' for the day/week (not sure on the time span yet). I know it isn't the greatest content but it is something to fill the gap while I am off doing my exams. Who knows, maybe doing this will help me stay positive during exam season when my stress levels are soaring! 

This weeks Mini Happies:

Doing really well in my final Spanish speaking controlled assessment. This was my 2nd one out of the two I had to do to complete my GCSE however the 1st one didn't go to plan and I panicked as I couldn't understand her which made me feel bad for not knowing what she was saying and so forth which spiraled into one huge mess and left me finishing it only just in one piece :( . The fact that I held it together this time and had prepared more left me feeling calm and happier.

Yesterday it was Impossible Astronaut Day which marked 4 years of the terrifying monster 'The Silence' appearing in Dr Who. The tradition has always been to draw the famous tally marks on yourself and post a picture to show your support and every year I always take part however this year I went a little crazy and drew them all over my face, neck and arms! Being part of the Dr Who Fandom always makes me happy as it is such a lovely community.

It was Kellin Quinns Birthday Today! If you don't know who he is then where have you been your whole entire life?! Kellin is the lead singer of Sleeping With Sirens which I was lucky enough to see in concert a couple of weeks ago (Not to mention his voice is perfection!). With my best friend Sian being OBSESSED with him (I truly mean this!) we decided to throw him a birthday bash in his honour. We had cake, party hats and personalized cookies which Sian baked and iced herself. It was a good day :)

 Going to see my Grandparents is another one of my 'Mini Happies' for this week. My Dad's side of the family live all the way in Essex which is 2 trains and a taxi across London to get to. With this distance between us its hard to see each other frequently so when I do go up for the weekend to see them with my parents it makes me happy as I normally haven't seen them in a while and need to catch them up on all the things they have missed.

Finding out that a new lush store in Oxford Street, London has opened up. Three levels of pure heaven. Katie and Sian, you are coming with me on a lush adventure to London! (Did I also mention Becki0 works there?)

Going to the orthodontists.... Okay I know you are probably thinking what? But trust me this is a Mini Happy for me. I have never had the straightest of teeth and I have always been very self conscious of the way they looked however  having a brace has made me more confident and my brace has done an amazing job on making them all straight and it has only been 3 months since I have had them on!

My last Mini Happy is The SacconeJoly vlogs. The SacconeJolys consist of Anna and Jonathon, an Irish married couple who live in the UK with their adorable children Emilia and Eduardo. Their Vlogs bring a smile to a face and always brighten my day. The fact that there is a new video on there channel every day at 6pm makes me even happier as I always look forward to watching it. 

I am again sorry that for the next few weeks my posts won't be to the standard they normally are but I pinky promise things will be back to normal by June 12th as that's the date of my last exam. (Woop!) Until then my 'Mini Happies' will be a regular thing with a few bonus posts thrown in when I can just so you don't get bored of the same style of post. Thanks for understanding :)

Goodnight my friends x
