Need inspiration?

We all reach these points during blogging where we lose inspiration and determination to post, I know I have! Sometimes, all it needs for me personally to get back into blogging is a big push. Not a literal push of course, just a big boost of inspiration. However, it's really hard to find an event or person that just changes my mood and makes me want to blog 24/7. I understand that something can be mind-blowing to someone, but to another person it can be pretty average. 
As many of you already know, I 100% adore the blogger/youtuber/goddess Zoe Sugg (or more known as Zoella) for many reasons, but this weekend she particularly inspired me to blog more and not give up.
On the 17th of February 2009, when I was in year 6, Zoe started her blog which was then called "Schoee" innocently as she enjoyed writing. 4 years down the line, She has nearly 2 million subscribers on youtube, 613k twitter followers and 50,000 google followers on her blog. 
"If someone said to me 4 years ago, when I started this blog, that in 4 years time, you'd be sat opposite one of the worlds biggest boy bands interviewing them, and getting to meet them and speak to them (and give them multiple hugs), I'd have laughed in their face" 
 (A quote from Zoe's blog post, "Meeting One Direction" )
Last Monday, Zoe interviewed One Direction, one of the biggest boyband's of all time. I'm personally not a fan of 1D but I know that they have a huge following and the fact that Zoe, who started off just like all of us, having a little fun on a blog, was invited to interview them and attended the world premiere of 1D's new movie "This Is Us" really blows my mind. 

This is Zoe at the 1D premiere!

What i'm trying to say is that Zoe is a massive inspiration for me and probably many others reading this because she always drives me to do better and try harder generally in life, as eventually it will pay off somehow. Obviously, I'm not saying that I'm only blogging to 'get famous' or whatever, I blog because I have loads of thoughts and ideas that I weirdly think should be shared. I'm saying that I'm stunned by how far you can come from a simple hobby!

If you would like to see more about Zoe's trip down the red carpet, Here is her post!
Who is your inspiration?
~Thanks for reading~

P.S I have Pinterest! I thought I should give it a go and I would love you to follow me on it! You get to see me trying to understand how to use it, that could be entertaining!

My Reaction to 'Zalfie' | Fangirl view

Hello everyone!! this blog post is very out of context & may not make any sense but I just need to say my opinion about 'Zalfie' (The relationship name of Zoella and PointlessBlog
First off, I know this isn't any of my business but I just love them so so much, I just want them to know (if they ever saw this) that I 100% support them and agree with every decision they made!

For months and months, my twitter feed was spammed with "ZALFIE OMG1!!1!1!" whenever either Zoe or Alfie uploaded a photo together, and this is why I felt bad for them! It seemed as if they couldn't go one day with people automatically assuming that they were a couple ,when at this point they weren't. Can you imagine how annoying that would be? so well done to both of them for handling it so well!! I have to admit, I did think that they would make a cute couple (which they do) and I'm not denying this, but I had enough sense to know the difference between a joke and an invasion of privacy.

Then about 3 days ago, a close friend of their's called Jim Chapman was innocently vlogging his trip to Vidcon in LA, when in the corner of the video was an image of what everyone correctly suspected to be Alfie and Zoe together as someones laptop background. Bless him, poor Jim must of been feeling terrible for accidentally relieving 'Zalfie' when neither of them were ready to announce it! but Jim (if you see this) It was not your fault and an innocent mistake to make, nobody hated you! If anything, we all were worried that it had ruined your friendship with both Alfie and Zoe and we are so happy that it hasn't! 

Now that's out of the way, this is the actual fangirl view on 'Zalfie': perfect. I cannot even express how proud I am of both of them for handling this sticky situation in the best way possible. I was so so worried that since Zoe has severe anxiety, she would panic to this sudden unveiling of her relationship and I still don't know if she didn't, but based on her 'Zalfie'  post, it looked like she handled it perfectly and I am so proud that she did not let it get to her too badly, because that would have made me and most other fans extremely upset. 

Overall, this was such a brave thing to announce to very hormonal and excitable teenagers and I have so much respect for both Alfie and Zoe for following their hearts despite what their fans wanted, and more like ordered. 
Also, they have asked to keep their relationship private as they want their relationship to be between each-other as it rightly should, and I know that posting this probably is breaking that ask, but I just wanted both of them to know that I, along with thousands of others completely support there decision
and after this post, I promise not to mention it ever again :)
From the whole fanbase, we wish them both loads of happiest and we're so happy that they are happy together :)

Thank you for reading if you did, but I don't mind if you didn't because this is a pretty picky post that could be hard to understand!

Hello!
So If you read m extremely short last post, it was about my very first exam, that happened to be a Biology one if anyone was interested. (probably not) Just a little feedback, It went so much better that expected! My school had stamped the word 'exam' into my head that I literally thought it would be impossible and that I would have panic attack (I almost did) but it was a nice surprise to sit the exam and think "I know this", but I won't get my results back until August 21st - 23rd.

Rolling on with the post, One day a couple weeks ago when I was scrolling through Zoella's youtube videos and I cam across a very helpful video about Blogging tips from her and Louise aka SprinkleOfGlitter. I thought it was extremely useful and was basically a list of what I said in my 'Feelings' post. 

*Credit goes to Louise at : SprinkleofGlitter
and Zoe at : Zoella280390 *

I hope this video does help you, because both of them have got very far from there blog so it's coming from experts here :)

Back to Normal

Hello Everyone! So I have my internet back and I feel like a part of me has returned, it's weird. You know when you lose your most prized possession  and then you find it years later when it's not that special, yeah it's like that.(not saying the internet isn't special because it is) I realised how much times have changed where without the internet, I genuinely don't know what to do with myself, it's crazy. What if the internet had never been invented? I would never be writing this, you wouldn't be reading this and my head hurts so I'm going to stop thinking those horrible thoughts.
Anyway, I would just like to tell you about this new website I found! It's called 'Wantworthy' and basically it's a website where you list all the things you want to buy. Now, you may be thinking 'that's too much hassle to think of everything and list it down' but when you sign up for this website (it's free) you get this button which you put in your bookmarks or tabs or whatever, and when you see an item you like, you simply click the button and it adds it to your list! I absolutely love it!
Also, once you've made your list, you can enter a competition that Zoella is holding where you can win £500 of your wantworthy list! Basically, you get £500 of the stuff you want! amazing. 

Here is the link to the website and Here is the link to Zoella's competition! Have fun :)
