Things to do on a ME Day!

BEFORE I START, I would like to credit the lovely Rae, from Sickbunny for this blog, and the ideas are mostly taken from the blog that should be found HERE if the link goes well haha! This is basically my own twist on it! And don't worry, I got her permission first!!

Every one should have a ME day once a week. For me, its Sunday. Sometimes I add an extra one on Tuesday, but its mostly Sundays. I HEAR BY MAKE IT LAW TO EVERYONE TO HAVE A ME DAY.
And heres some things you can do to make your me day you! I do some of these things, some of the things I took from Rae's post!

One: Watch Favourites in Bed

I love it when a plan comes together

I love watching TV or films in bed, how about you? And what a perfect thing to do on a You Day than relax on your bed, with a cuppa or hot chocolate, and watch your favourites!! Personally, I will be watching Ghost Rider today in bed! 9pm, Channel 5 for those in England. I usually leave my laptop alone when doing this, and just enjoy the film!

Two: Play A Game!

Beat those stress trolls!

In the world of electronics, we all usually have some sort of gaming platform in our possession, from a phone, to your laptop/PC to the current gen consoles. I personally have my DS and Xbox 360 to game on, and I find  even fifteen minutes of Dragonquest on my DS is soothing to my soul. I find games like DQ and Fable 3 and Final Fantasy (any apart from the MMO's ) to be the most soothing as I can get out my frustrations in life by beating up monsters and baddies!! It may sound geeky, but gaming is a good stress reliever!

Three: Bake!

Nom nom nom

I love to bake. LOVEEEE. And making your own little pieces of nommy is extremely satisfying! Make that cake that you haven't dared try yet! Bake a batch of cupcakes and shake with friends over a cuppa! I suggest hand whisking, as now I am hooked on it as you can beat out any stress and you have to concentrate on the whisking, rather than anything stressful around you!

Four: Get Creative!

Draw anything that makes you happy!

Write. Draw. Sew. Glue. Anything! Take some time to make something pretty. I like to write and draw and also it can be productive if you want to finish something creative off ;D I have many self inflicted art projects that I like to doodle and sketch through the week!

Five: Paint your nails

001110101010110

I paint my finger nails Mondays, so I do my toes on Sundays! Painting your nails is so girly and I don't know about you, but painting my nails a lovely colour always brings a smile to my face, even during the week when ever I see them!

Six: Take a Long Bubble Bath!

Make up and hair ribbon are optional.

DO THIS. If you do just one thing from this list DO THIS. At 8pm or when ever you have time in the evening, run the hot tap, go over board with the bubbles, even chuck in a Lush ballistic or other brand melt, and relax among the fluffy bubbly fragrances and do what ever you want. I like to apply a fifteen minute mask and shave my legs personally. And read. Reading in the bath is a must. If you like candles, light some fragranced candles. Like music? Bring a portable music player with speakers (like a radio) and play some music or tune into your favourite radio station. This bath time is YOURS and yours alone. Frisky baths with the other half are for  other days ;D

Seven: Read a Book

Or read many books. Its up to you!

Sitting some where comfy and reading a book you love, or exploring a new book, is love. At the moment I read 'How to Walk In High Heels' during the day, an old favourite book of mine, read it if you haven't, and will be starting 'Inkheart' tonight for an hour before sleep. I love digging in to a good book right before bed, I sleep better!

Eight: Go for a Walk or Bike Ride (weather permitting)

Wish it was sunny all the time!

I wouldn't suggest going for a walk up a big hill like I did last Saturday, as those things aren't for everyone, but just being out and about for half an hour or more in the fresh air makes you happy. Especially if you aren't walking anywhere in particular. Or bike riding. I love riding my bike in Summer, but I've only ever gone for a walk in Winter. Perhaps I should try my bike too!!

Nine: Write a Blog

Anywhere anytime!

You don't even need to publish it. Just write some things down that you would want to share, even if you only jot them down in a journal, maybe to share for another day. Sharing your thoughts and feelings on the interwebs may seem a bit daunting, but most people out there are actual darlings and you shouldn't be scared of them!

Ten: Dance like Crazy to Your Favourite Music

Friend optional

Jigging around in your room, even for ten minutes, can be so much fun and also counts towards a little bit of exercise ;D I like singing and dancing along to Disney songs personally as theres nothing more uplifting than your favourite childhood film!

Eleven: Tidy up some Clutter

My room never looks this tidy..

Now, I know what you are saying. Hang on a minute Kitty, tidying isn't relaxing!! BUT WAIT. You know that feeling when you've tidied up that bit of clutter you've put of for ages, and now it looks all nice and neat? Thats a GOOD feeling, isn't it! SO embraaace it and you will feel much better not having to worry about that untidy bit.

Twelve: Make a schedule for the Week

Make your own, its more fun!

Another groan I hear?! Well, don't you just hate when you don't know what you are doing or you haven't got anything done that you wanted. Planning out your week will help that! You can get things sorted just by doing this in half an hour. You can even make your schedules pretty (I will show you tomorrow) by using different colours! Pin it up somewhere you can see it everyday, and you will know exactly what you should be doing and when! Useful if you often forget appointments and things!

Things I suggest NOT to do on a YOU Day:

• Watch the news. Bleh, always boring or depressing anyways. You can always catch up tomorrow
• Stress about stuff. That stuff will still be there Monday, don't worry about it today!
• Force yourself to do anything. If you don't feel like it, don't do it! I don't do everything on this list every Sunday!
• Get up early if you can help it. I have one day a week an alarm doesn't wake me up. Sunday is it!
• Go shopping. I don't suggest doing this at the weekend at all. I loathe week end shopping crowds. My fav day to go is Thursdays or Tuesdays
• Diet. Eat the hell what you want, as long as you aren't shoving ten full sized chocolate sponges, I am sure it won't hurt your diet.

I hope you liked my list and thanks again to Rae for letting me pinch her ideas and for thinking this up in the first place!! Remember to check out her blog!!

Our Mini Road Trip

Hellooo

Yesterday my friend came to my house in her little red car and picked me up for a drive around!! Rachel is really cute and small (smaller than me, I am 5 foot 3!) so its funny seeing her drive a car!!

Eyyy

Normally she is crazy and hyper like me, and here she is proving that it my room haha!! She is such a poseur sometimes!! But in the car she is a brilliant driver, not a serious one, but she is very good and calms down a bit so I felt totally safe!! Shes only been driving properly since she passed her test in July and she drives all the time!!

Quite soon after this photo was taken, she parked, then ran out the car and pressed herself up against our friends window with a squeal haha!! She is so crazy!! I love her muchly though haha!!

This is my road (but not my house :P)

We went for a little drive round my village first, then went to pick up some chicken feed our friend got for Rachel's families chickens. She has a few rescued battery hens, who look a bit straggly but are now extremely well looked after!! Once we had finish our trip round my village, we hopped onto the motorway and drove to Farlington, where Rachel lives. We dropped off her chicken feed then drove to Drayton to Demi's house!! I haven't seen Demi since July so I was excited to see her!!

All my friends are poseurs

Here she is posing in her kitchen!! We are three very giggly girls and we are always posing for pictures and laughing about random things!!

And we cool!!

As I said, poseurs!! After nomming on chocolate swiss roll and messing about on the PC for a bit, we poured back into the car and went into Cosham to meet Demi's new boyfriend! But he hadn't finished college yet so we wandered around a bit first and visited where Rachel works, Alworths. I was looking for a new sketchbook albiet a cheap one but they didn't have any decent ones :( There was this awesome dragon though!

Shorties!!

We messed around on a bench by the train station next, waiting for Blaize, because he was being a slow coach and was late and we were bored!! Demi kept singing random songs and kept getting them stuck in my head!! Once Blaize had actually arrived, we went back to Demi's to watch a film as there wasn't really anything else to do as Rachel's petrol was running out and she didn't have money for more yet. We ended up watching Hot Fuzz!

Brilliant film

Love that film, Simon Pegg is so funny, I love Shaun of the Dead too!!

Photo rape. Turned around and FLASH Rachel had taken a pic!!

Rachel posing on the floor

About five O clock, Rachel wanted to go home so she was back in time for tea so we left before the movie ended :( Leaving Demi alone with Blaize ;D. I bought cheesecake when I got back and then went to my dads of an evening in front of the tv with my cheesecake and my magazines!! Bliss day!!

Sorry it seems a bit rushed, have to go out to meet my friend!! Blog post tomorrow for that ;D
