Notebook collection:

I have very simple pleasures in life one of them being stationary. Whenever I need a new notebook for anything I always go to about three different shops just to find my favourite one so my notebooks are all really nice to me. There's not that many but each have a purpose and in my opinion look awesome:



This one is one of my most boring notebooks and I have reason behind this. It's bland because it's my to do list. It's actually really useful when I have a lot to do. Before I even start to do the things I need to, I sit down for five minutes and write it all out and plan the order to do them. This notebook has saved me from forgetting homework or to clean the house countless times which is always good. 



This one was a gift from my Aunt and I love the cover. The picture isn't the clearest so if you can't read the small writing it says cunning plans. I sort of defeated the point of the cover because I put all the boring stuff I have to remember in the long term and stuff I will always need. I'm that forgetful I need a notebook just or that but still it has a great cover. 


This can only be described as my pride and joy of notebooks. I got this the first time I went to the Harry Potter studio tours and it's actually real leather. Inside is my bucket list which is actually quite long. One thing that I want to do which is possibly impossible, is to travel to all the capital cities in the world. I say it's impossible because I've only gone to one so I've got a long way to go. 



This is the notebook I take into the art and photography mocks. It helps so much because it lets me get my head straight and put all my ideas down or just put a quick note about something down. It's also got this little compartment in the back so I can put any loose bits of paper in that I may need later on in the mock


This one I got so long ago I can't even remember. This is the only notebook I just got because I liked it rather than actually needing it. I was actually in primary school when I got it and it's full of stuff I did when I was bored. It's more of a nostalgic notebook then anything. 



This notebook was another gift from one of my bestfriends. It's full of just general stuff as you can probably see by the loose sheets of paper inside of it. I never leave for school without this notebook and if I do then I'll most likely need it that day because you know just plain good old luck. 



Ah the best of all. The blog book. This is where I plan my ideas for this blog and write all my blog posts. Whenever I'm somewhere and I want to blog this book lets me without any need for internet. If I lost this book, this blog would be done for. 

That's all for this post I'll  see you next time.

Photography #7:

I haven't done one of these in about a month so I thought I would do another one. These were taken at this weird stately house. I'll explain why it was so weird. Basically some of the rooms were left abandoned and hadn't been touched for years.I think it was about 50 years but I can't remember. There was this one room where they had gotten new Chinese silk bed covers and hadn't even put them on the bed before they abandoned it. The National Trust but them on this really old bed and they looked beautiful. Again I think it had actual gold woven into the fabric. It was a really interesting place to go but I can't remember the name of the place so sorry if you want to go but here are the pictures I took there:





















Thanks for reading. I know these posts aren't the most interesting to read but I love to share my pictures. So with that I'll see you next post.

First vinyl:

I've had a record player for a while but only had my parent's old vinyls to play. And lets just say my parents had a weird taste in music. I think one of the vinyls is old lullabies that they used to play for my sister. Anyway, I had just finished a bunch of mock exams so I thought I would treat myself and get my first vinyl. I really wanted one for the thrilling reason to revise with it playing in the background. I know sounds like fun but in my defence it's hard to skip songs on vinyls so I wouldn't even try in case I scratched it. I get very easily distracted when revising and when I listen to music on my phone I usually skip the songs and then my notifications and started playing games or go on social media. To me a vinyl was the perfect solution to this. I got this one because I knew I liked the bands music but I didn't know any of the words to any of the song aparts from one so I wouldn't get distracted by singing along. To be fair though I know all the words now so that defeated the point of that. Lastly, THE VINYL IS WHITE. I love the look of the classic black but this one is awesome.





That's all this post. If you want me to do a post on a certain thing or any recommendations of other bands then I'm all ears so put them down in the comments. See you next post.

Favourite albums:

If you didn't know I'm a huge lover of music. I listen to mainly just punk but I can honestly say I like most music types and have a basic knowledge of most of them. My range in music goes from proper rock like ACDC to indie music like The 1975. It's ridiculous but I really do love music. I spend at least 3-4 hours a day listening to music and that's probably with school. So with music being a big part of my life I thought I would share my favourite albums with you lot. I've also just realised how many times I've types 'I' in this paragraph. Yep ten time. That's a lot. Anyway. These aren't in any order because to be honest I couldn't choose I love them all for different reasons:



This album I only got recently at a charity shop which was a big score. I usually only go for books on charity shop runs but I always glance over the CDs to see if there's anything I like. Which I am glad I did because this was only £1. I even looked to see how much it was when I went to get some new CDs and I think I saved around £8 (I'll let you have a wild guess what I did with the £8). Then I bought a new book from my favourite book shop. So that was a good day. This album also really makes me laugh with all the titles of the songs being ridiculously long. It got to the point where I was listening to the album and one of my favourite songs came on so I said the title really fast. I was so please that I actually got the title right that I had to listen to the song again after my celebration. 



Right this band was a complete obsession at one point and I think this album was the cherry on top. Every now and again I become obsessed with a band or a tv show or a book and then it controls my life for either a week or a month. This one was a month. Within that month I not only listened to all their songs and learnt all the words (and if you listen to the band you will know how hard that is to do), but I also bought a bit of merch. I don't usually buy merch and only own two band t-shirts this band being one of them. I really love this album and love Twenty One Pilots. I became part of the fandom at record breaking speed. 



At first I this wasn't my favourite Paramore album but it really grew on me and now it's my favourite. I went through a really long Paramore phase a while again which is still going still. It was such a big phase that I made a playlist of just all my favourite Paramore songs and I think it was about 30-40 songs and I'd just listen to it none stop. I remember I did my Photography mock with this album in the background and I still loved it. Just so you know Photography mock are ten hours long split between two day so the fact I still loved this after ten hours proves my point. 



This album was one of the first I listened to this summer. It was a bit of a contrast with the sunny sky then listening to the loud drums and guitars. Again I got this album at a charity but unfortunately not cheap enough to feel like I could get a few books as well. I really like Fall Out Boy for the two main reasons. One all theirs older songs have ridiculously long name and two their songs lead to one another. This album is great when I want to get something boring done and need some music in the background because it feels weird to skip the songs as they lead to one another. 



This one is actually a family Cd as you can tell by how beaten up it is. It's been back and forth from my mum's car to my room and so on. We played this CD for a good month in the car and I really love these songs and can honestly say I know all the words to all the songs on this album. Ed Sheeran is one of my favourite artists and I don't think that will ever change. Whenever I'm asked why I like Ed Sheeran as I mainly like just punk I say it's like acoustic rap which is actually really weird and interesting to listen to.. That's the best way I can describe some of his songs because they're not quite pop and not quite rap. But still I love this album and can't wait for thee next one.

That's all for this post and thanks for reading. I'll see you next time.

Drawings #2:

I haven't done one these in nearly a year so I thought it was well overdue. So here you go some of the recent drawings I've been doing:

Don't mind the cheesy quote. This is one of my favourites as I doodle these arrows all the time but have never put them into a drawing.


After I finished this one the entire side of my right hand with coloured with different shades of blue and lets just say it didn't come off easily.

From cheesy quote to a skull. This one I had to draw for my art class however I love it still.

Thanks for reading I'll see you in the next post.
