Someday Summary – Saturday

26th February 2011 : Uncategorised


I’m sorry i’ve not updated in a while. I’ve been working like a mad woman & had various other things going on with my life. Some not so enjoyable & others slightly more positive. I’m super pleased that the sun has decided to rear it’s little head today, sprinkles a bit of happiness about the place doesn’t it…unless of course you are Edward Cullen, in which case I feel sorry for you.

I slept on my neck funny last night. I’m not sure how I do this, but this is the second time in about 10 days in exactly the same place. It’s SO painful. I have a constant slant to the right. I look like a weirdo. If i try and keep my head straight, it just hurts. I need someone to give me a damn good neck massage. My sleep pattern has been well and truely messed up due to the fact i’ve had a crappy few weeks, and my mattress is so hard and lumpy that it was starting to give me bruises on my hips. Forking out for a new mattress certainly wasn’t on the agenda. If I had the spare cash lying around for such luxuries, I definitely would have, but alas, I do not. My Gpa (thats grandad) came over & flipped my mattress for me & then my lovely Nan bought me a mattress topper. They obviously felt sorry for this little princess and the pea, although in this case, no princess and no pea just masses of springs and various other metal contraptions & an average girl. So, i’ve finally started getting a decent nights sleep. I say this, but i was awake from 10pm-4am last night after napping at 8pm & awoke with a wonky head. Just great. Can anyone suggest any pillows or anything which might help? I’ve heard that memory foam ones are good.

I’ve started with YouTube again. I know it’s not to everyone’s taste, and that some of you may think “why is she bothering?”, but i recieved so many emails and messages from people asking me to come back, and i feel like sometimes it’s easier for me to show you things via video. Maybe even this way I can do a few hair tutorials as the thought of capturing any form of “tutorial” through photographs was quite the chore & would have been extremely tedious. I still absolutely despise the way I sound, the things I say & the stupid hand gestures and faces I make, but obviously I cant help that. haha. I have also discovered that I say “Like” and “Literally” far too much…It’s literally like so annoying. ;)
I lost a lot of confidence over the last year, and it’s only really now that I can sit down in front of a camera & feel brave enough to upload it for you anyone/everyone to see. I’ve decided not to let any negativity affect me, and with anything on the internet, there will be some. Go and subscribe if you want to, obviously you dont have to but it would be nice if you did. Might be nice for some of you to see me in 3d…moving and that. Do let me know what you want me to do videos on. I have a feeling this time i’ll stick around.

I’ll leave you with a few photographs that I have saved as little reminders which have made me feel a lot better about myself recently. Bit psychological, and unlike me, but I thought i’d share them with you as they might have the same effect on some of you, which would in turn, make me happy.

  15. So happy you're back on Youtube sweet, you're just lovely! Hope you've been okay and not overworking yourself as well (:

  16. mary

    Try using thick blankets and spare duvets underneath the mattress topper, it makes it really comfy and warm :)
    Love your youtube videos, I hope you continue!
    Sent you an email about where you live the other day, sorry for seeming so stalkerish :|
    If it is where I said, you're so lucky it's absolutely lovely there! We befriended the potterer(?) on our visit there!

  17. Ellie

    I had this a few months ago and its called torticollis when your neck is wonky. I went to the doctor and he gave me some anti- inflammatory tablets which sorted it out… so painful! Also try a tight scarf and hot water bottle. Hope it gets better. Love the blog :) xo

  18. Anne

    glad you're back! I saw your youtube video about your Primark haul on my bb on the bus, yeahh kinda went to Primark and bought one of the blouses you showed :)

  19. i love the bloopers on your videos! keep including them :D x

  25. Erika

    your pictures are SO lovely! and I'm completely jealous of your hair, I can't wait for mine to grow to my goal length, I'm only half way there and it get's harder and harder to be patient. I completely understand how you feel about finding that confidence in yourself. I think everyone struggles with this from time to time ( I know I do!) but your already a stronger person for acknowledging it and taking away it's power. Your beautiful, keep your chin up lady :)

  26. Zoe! I'm sooo glad that you're going to be making videos again…& the "sticking around part" was very uplifting in a away because I will def. be looking forward to your video posts…as well as your blog posts of course. You're so gorgeous & your "stupid hand gestures & faces" aren't like that at all. They're what make you who you are & it adds "life" to your videos & your subscribers/viewers are able to get to know the silly, amazing person you are. ;D (even though I don't even know you in person) hehe. Anyways, if you're one of those people that need some sort of pillow to be able to sleep, indeed, try the memory foam pillows because they're amazing.
    BTW: I apologize for this comment being incredibly & annoyingly long.

  27. Loving that you're back on Youtube and you do not talk or sound funny, so please don't worry about that!

    xoxo

    my in-laws have a memory foam mattress and they really recommend it. I think they're expensive tho.
    My bf has a microfoam pillow, he loves it, they're under £10 from amazon.co.uk so if you like it's worth a try. search: cushtie pillow.
    Hope that helps :)

    Thank you for sharing the pictures btw, they're very inspirational. Sometimes I have to remember that everything happens for a reason and there is no point in wanting to change what has already happened. xx

  86. kltb105

    ya.. whoever did something to make you feel that your not worthy or pretty or funny or whatever it is that has made you feel less than you are dosent deserve your time its always easier to tell someone that things are going to be okay when they arent the ones in the situation so we are all here for you to tell you things will get better and looking back it will have just been a short phase.

    you might hate your voice and things you do but nobody on the other side of the camera does im from the US. and i love hearing english accents there is nothing pretty-er in my opinion its also funny to hear people from england do american accents anyways thanks for taking time to share part of your life with people you dont even know and i hope you continue doing what your doing.
