August Favourites: 2015

Nothing new I suppose, I've done a couple of these and of course forgetful me, didn't do also a couple. Sorry. This is my August Favourites of 2015, hope you enjoy. This month I do not have many favourites, since it was a busy month filled with tests and assessments, still is, i'm so over school...
Other: First favourite is this travel notebook. I bought this in a bookshop, which was closing down for $10. I haven't started to write in it, until a couple days ago. I did not use it as a travel book, but rather as a notebook filled with my thoughts and plans. The newly released Digimon Hereos! game app. It has over a 1000 Digimon characters! I'm already on level 20. What are you on? Lastly from this part of the list is Netflix. Do I even need to say anything about Netflix?
TV shows: Doctor Who, Digimon Fusion, Dragons: Race to the Edge. None of those I have finished, but they are my favourite so far.
Books: I have not read many books this month, but 2 books stood out. Stolen by Lucy Christopher and Lord of the Flies by William Golding. I am yet to complete Lord of the Flies. Coughs..only half way through. Stolen is a letter form novel about Gemma, a girl who was kidnapped from an airport by a mysterious guy of the name Ty and brought to an isolated location of emptiness and heat. Ty stated that he saved her from her life. Did he save her? Lord of the Flies is about a plane crashing on an island with the only survivors a group of schoolboys. It is a book depicting the physical and mental struggle that the boys endured and how it further changed them.
Music: One word - Halsey. Love love love. My favourite song would be Drive and she just released the Badlands Deluxe album! <3

Bucket Lists Are A Must!

The essence of any bucket list is to overcome fears, achieve goals and realize simple pleasures. From a trip to another place or continent, to small goals like beating a level in a videogame. Bucket lists are a great way to keep a list of things to do before a specific deadline. That is why I had the idea of showing you part of my mega bucket list. This is in no specific order and I will include some ones I have completed, but they will be crossed out. I hope this inspires others to write one or just add more onto yours. *scribbles intensely on a piece of paper*

Sick Day Essentials

Hello Daisies! I sincerely apologize for not posting anything recently. It is because I was unwell and just slept most of the day. Since I have been sick, what I good way to give others some tips of some essentials.

1. Tissues - we all need some tissues when a tsunami is pouring out our nose. Don't lie to me, I know it is disgusting, but it happens to everyone! Tissues must be soft. (Optional: I like the ones with eucalyptus or with aloe vera or with Vitamin E).
2. Cough/Throat lollies - my personal favourite are Vicks VapoNaturals (either Honey or Original Menthol). They sooth the throat and clear the nose.
3. Pyjamas or anything comfortable, but seriously PJ's are the best!
4. Lip balm, moisturiser vaseline - Even though you will have ideal tissues, if you are going to use a ton of them you will irritate your nose. Lip balm for them chapped lips and moisturiser for face/ hands
5. Audio book - yes, an audio book what a shocker. When I am personally sick, my brain does not function properly and refuses to concentrate on words on a page. If you are a book lover like I am, then a book to survive sickness is a must. That is why I recommend audio books. Personally not a fan of them. :/ You can either find them on Audible, YouTube or other places. *Tip - You can find sometimes on some YouTubers channel a code for their viewers to get the 1st Audible book free!
6. Sleep + Water - To hep your body repair itself faster. zzzzzzzzzzzz
7. Netflix/ Youtube or any other video watching website - no explanation needed, haha.
8. Tea - both refreshing and calming.

Thank for reading this version of sick day essentials. Comment down below if I have missed anything! Goodbye Daises! :)

Current Top 5 Blogs I Check Out Daily

Hello Daisies! Before I begin this blogpost I would like to ask of an opinion - what day should I post on? I was thinking Thursday could be a good day, but the majority of opinions from you guys will win what day. Thank you. xx
Everyone has their favourite parts of the internet where they visit everyday or at least every couple of days, whether it is the news, blogs, YouTube channels or Netflix/other TV binge watching websites. Am I joking?! Me lasting a couple days without Netflix? Impossible *grins*. I'm here to introduce you my current top 5 favourite blogs that I check out daily.

1. http://www.agirlobsessedblog.com/ Mandy has a large range of topics on her blogs, from beauty to lifestyle. Many would benefit from ready her blog, since she gives many tips.
2. http://www.fromroses.co.uk/ Love at first sight *giggles* I found this blog by accident when scrolling through Bloglovin'. Stunning theme and style of this blogger. I love the way she writes, it is relatable and easy to understand.
3. http://yasicarter.com/ This might become my top favourite fitness/health blog. Yasmin is a school friend of mine, she lives a healthy, balanced life, and is engaged in CrossFit and weightlifting.
4. http://1nferiority.tumblr.com/ My top Tumblr blog changes frequently, but I have been lovin' this blog. My favourite perk about this blog is how she managed to incorporate both pale and grunge easily.

A Second 'First Post'? + 10 Facts About Me

Hello, my Daisies! (Daisies?! Where did that come from?) What is happening to my blog? Ah, nobody knows. It is a rise and fall of me blogging - including my creativity! Oh my!

I would like to apologize sincerely for my blog activity and with that I am going to start all over. Don't worry my darlings, I ain't going to delete my posts.
Why am I starting over? New me, it is as simple as that. Over the years I have progressed and I am not the same me as I was 2 years ago when I started this blog. I just want a fresh start.
Why 'Daisies'? Since I noticed that people actually read this blog, that I am not a just typing up my thoughts for nothing, I wanted to give you guys a name, something unique. (Really? Is Daisies that unique?) I picked Daisies since they are one of my favourite flowers and my blog name includes the word 'Meadow'. It just seemed perfect.
Now, because you guys were this patient and (maybe) read the above paragraphs, this is 10 facts about the 'new' me (not in specific order).

1. I am slightly addicted to candles. Each time I go shopping I come back with at least one candle.
2. My passion for reading. I loved to read since a young age, anything and everything. I would sit against a wall at school and just read endlessly. Over the years one thing has slightly allowed my to read less - time. I had less and less time, since I concentrated on school work.
3. My lucky charm is actually a ring. Any ring to be honest. I always wear a ring on. (Even when my school doesn't permit it.)
4. I actually enjoy school and think it is an essential part of life. Not only do I educate myself, but I also meet wonderful people and discover myself. And I even do enjoy writing essays and doing homework.
5. I used to (and something still do) feel so badly insecure of myself that I would apologize for my personality and physical appearance. What made me feel better and change was certain YouTube channels. On that topic I add that I used to be terrified of photos of me, because of my insecurity. I am becoming better and actually do take some photos of myself occasionally.
6. I am addicted to technology and the Internet. I will not even say 'slightly', because this might even be a serious problem. *laughs* But who isn't?
7. Music is a must for every situation. I must play music, it calms me down and makes me feel happy. (Yes, I am listening to music this second - Love At First Sight (TEEMID & Julia Cover) ~ Kylie Minogue -)
8. I never rarely drink water. To the point that I have been dehydrated twice severely and had to go to the hospital. I forget to drink water, I never think it as part of my day...and I am a specific water drinker. I must have it super cold, freezing and have ice cubes in it.
9. I love doing anything creative, especially drawing. When I was younger I wished to be an artist, but my Dad ruined that dream by telling me I am not good enough. I was sad at the beginning, but soon accepted it. I am not the best at drawing, but I still love to do it. [https://instagram.com/gusia99/  <-- this is where I post my drawings, if anyone is willing to see]
10. My first dream job was to be an archeologist, but my Mum and grandma told me I would of not been good enough at it and it would of not been a job that pays a lot. But I secretly still want to be one or at least something similar in the history department of jobs.

This is the end of this post, I hope you Daisies understand why I am starting all over again.
