The Versatile Blogger Award

Hello again! 

Right so I'd just finished my previous blog, and I posted a link on twitter like I always do, and in the little 'Who to Follow box', a user called @mursgyal appeared. I recognised her from instagram, so followed, and saw she had a blog! I was like ooooo blog buddy, so I went and had a little look. She had done the Versatile Blogger Award, and I was SO surprised to see my blog as one of the nominations! I am so grateful for the nomination and it's nice to know people do actually read my blog! So, thank you very much Ellie! (http://ellielouisehirst.blogspot.co.uk)

As part of the award, you have to write 7 facts about yourself on your blog post, so here goes. 

1) My full name is Emily Charlotte Mather and I was born on the 22nd October 1998. 

2) I have one sister, 2 cats, 10 chickens, a fish and a rabbit. 

3) My favourite animal is the Elephant. I think they're adorable, and also I have this little lucky elephant which I lost quite a while ago, however I found it last monday, and since then a lot have things have gone right for me! (oooo, superstition) 

4) I love disney, and anything Disney related. My favourite Disney Films are probably Tangled, Tarzan and the Little Mermaid. Lilo and Stitch is also pretty awesome! 

5) I have blue eyes and blonde hair. I get my hair highlighted blonde, but I've always wanted really dark hair but I don't think I'd suit it! 

6) My favourite subject at school is History. I think it's so super interesting and what happened back then is what has made the world today! I also find RE really interesting as History and RE kinda link together. My least favourite subject is Drama. I just find it really stressful and I get quite nervous when performing in front of people (outwardly I'm quite confident, but I'm not so confident about my abilities and worry about what people may thing of me). I do try my best to enjoy the subject but I really regret taking it.

7) I hate feet, pigeons, snobs and mushrooms

SO as a final part you have to nominate 15 people for the award.

This is so cheating but one of my gorgeous chummys started blogging recently and I wanted to showcase her gorgeous blog!

It's my little cherub Kate! I have known Kate for quite a while now, and I absolutely love her to bits! She has JUST started her blog and sent it to me on Facebook and it is adorable! We're both massive Youtube fans and both want to start doing videos, so look out kiddas;-) Her blog is very similar to mine, but she is so much better at taking photos than I am! Everything about her is utterly fantastic! Kate is in the year below me at school, but we always see each other and say hello. We also have a little gossip on Snapchat occasionally and I just love her to pieces! So please go and look at this gorgeous girls gorgeous blog!

Thank you ever so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! 

Kate told me I inspired her to blog again (she had one but nobody looked at it) and it made me so happy to think I inspired people! If you want to do something, go for it! Blogging is so so fun, and even if you get 5 page views, you'll still have produced something that'll be utterly fantastic! If you want tips or advice on blogging, Tweet me @emilymatherrr_ or comment on one of my instagram photos @emilymatherrr_! I am happy to help, and want so many more blogging buddies that will share my adoration for blogging! 

Thank you!!!! 

2013 Favourites!

Hello my lovely little cherubs! 

It's nearly the end of yet another year! It's absolutely crazy how quickly time passes these days! I never thought a year ago I'd be the person I am today, everything has changed so much! As a year is over, I thought I'd look back, and tell you all about my favourite things in 2013! Hope you enjoy reading! 

I wasn't entirely sure how to set this out so I've devised a little list of things I thought you may be interested in! 

Favourite Band - Two Door Cinema Club, 2013 was an amazing year for so many bands, but seeing TDCC live has earned them a place in my favourites! 

Favourite Film - The Great Gatsby/Romeo and Juliet/Moulin Rouge/Breakfast Club/Nick and Norah's infinite playlist, too many! 

Favourite Quotes - "What other people think of you is none of your business" 

"You ought to spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people"

"C'est la vie, mon chéri" 

“The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” 

Favourite Book - Morrissey's auto-biography (non-fiction) or Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Favourite Song - Peace // Wraith, the song i listened to literally everyday in summer.

Favourite Shop For Clothes - Zara, bought so many little gems from there this year 

Favourite Make-Up Brand - Mac and Bourjois, Mac is always fabulous but the Healthy Mix Range, has made me love Bourjois this year 

Favourite Colour - Orange!!! 

Favourite Magazine- Company 

Favourite Month - hmmmm, December and October were pretty awesome months this year, or maybe August. 

Obsessions in 2013 - Lush bath-bombs, Pink Lemonade Lucozade, Pink and Blue bubblegum bottles, make-up, John Green books, Blogging, daisies and Youtube!

Favourite thing about 2013 - So many amazing things happened in 2013, but I think the thing I am happiest about is the number of amazing friends I made. I grew close to so many people in 2013, and I hope to stay friends with them forever! So cliche, I know but it's 100% true!

What I want to achieve Next Year - 

Be more positive and don't give up 

Make my family and friends proud of me

Be less bothered about what people think of me

Maybe start Youtube (MASSIVE IF OVER THIS ONE GUYS) 

Smile a little bit more :)

and 

Do everything to the best of my ability!

Thank you to everyone who made my year amazing! I hope 2014 will be even better. I am so grateful for all the wonderful people in my life, and hope to achieve great things in 2014!

Have a wonderful Christmas and a very, very Happy New Year!

London!

Hello there my lovely little blog readers!

 I am awfully sorry I haven't written a blog in what seems like forever, but I have been very busy with school work and special occasions and things, STRESSFUL TIMES! However, I have decided to sit down with a cup of tea, in my onesie and write a blog about my fantastic weekend. I was lucky enough to be given to opportunity to go to London, visit the O2 area and see TDCC with my best friends! It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life and I loved every minute of it! I also went shopping in 'Westfield' which was wonderful, however it wasn't so wonderful for my purse. Then on Sunday, I went on a spontaneous trip to Leeds which was also brilliant! So yes thank you very much to everyone who made my weekend happen and those who made it incredibly fabulous!!!

Friday 13th December

Chocolate Cake from Pizza Express

Superstitious people would suggest that "Friday 13th' would be a terrible day, however it was absolutely amazing. We travelled down to London and stayed with my friends Auntie and Uncle, who are very lovely people with a very lovely house. We arrived, said hello, got ready and then dashed off to the tube station. We then caught two tubes to the O2 arena. At the O2 we had a lil' food stop at 'Pizza Express' before heading into the arena itself. We were there to see 'Two Door Cinema Club' however there were two support acts who were amazing! 









First on were 'Swim Deep' who are one of my favourite bands and they didn't fail to impress. They performed a selection of songs of their new album and they were absolutely fab! 'The Sea' and 'Honey' are my favourite Swim Deep and seeing them live made me incredibly happy!



The second support act were the Crystal Fighters. I'd heart a few of their songs before but I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. They came on and brought to much energy to the stage and everyone was on their feet. 'The Plage', 'You and I' and 'I Love London', were some of the songs they performed and they were my personal favourites! 





And then finally we had Two Door, and oh my goodness they were AMAZING!!!! Alex Trimble is the most talented person ever! They started with 'Sleep Alone' and then finished with 'What You Know', but my favourites were definitely 'Something Good Can Work' and 'I Can Talk'. The atmosphere was amazing and the place was absolutely packed full of people. They were just amazing! I can't even describe how good they were.

On the way back, we got two tubes again. This woman told me and my 3 amigos that 'You'll still be the same when you're 30, you won't change, don't change' and it was adorable and sent me on a very long train of thought about life! We then got off the tube and had a wee ticket disaster because I almost got stuck in the tube station, stupid ticket machine. Me and Katie then got ditched, which meant we got lost. We then got found again and made it home, safely! We were all exhausted and went to bed!




Saturday 14th December

I woke up early because I am literally the worst person at having a lie in! We then got ready and drove to Westfield Shopping Centre! It was busy!!! The place was vast, but absolutely stunning. All the christmas decorations were so pretty and there was a little ice skating rink which looked cute. 'The Village' was the expensive part of the centre, with shops like Kurt Geiger and Ted Baker. Then there was the other part with places like Topshop, Zara, Hollister, Jack Wills, Boots etc. We managed to spend 4 hours in the shopping centre and I managed to spend £30 in Lush. OOOOOPS. 






I bought a shirt from Zara. It's a small dogtooth print in black and white in a sheer, chiffon material. I also bought some chelsea boots with a heel from H&M. I then bought, Snow Fairy Shower Gel, Dragons Egg, So White, Titsy Totsy, Secret Santa, Golden Wonder and Shoot For the Stars bath bombs! Which I love, and I really want to do like a Lush Haul Blog to show y'all what they're like!! After shopping we went home! I had such a good time in London but my weekend wasn't over yet!

Golden Wonder, So White, Secret Santa, Dragons Egg, Shoot for the Stars, Titsy Totsy, Snow Fairy Shower Gel!

Sunday 15th December

A cute lil' lego calendar!

As if my weekend hadn't been busy enough I decided to go to Leeds! I went with one of my friends, and I didn't buy very much at all, but managed to spend quite a bit! First we got the train, then grabbed something to eat. We then went to the Trinity Centre where we wandered round a bit and I went into Victoria Secret. I got a new fragrance mist, 'Love Spell' that smells divine! It is supposedly cherry blossom and peach but I think it's a really fruity, refreshing fragrance! It smells lovely and I already have like 5 of these fragrances but you can never have too many! Then we popped into Harvey Nicholls where I got yet another Mac Lipstick! I got the shade 'Party Line' which is a darkish red in a cremesheen finish! It's perfect for winter and I just love it, it's like nothing I've had before! Finally I popped into Hotel Chocolat and got a few bits for christmas presents! 

So..... I had a pretty hectic weekend! How was your weekend? I am so excited for christmas, only one week of school to go!! I am hoping that 2014 will be a year of positivity and happiness. I will be back soon and won't leave you waiting too long! 
Thank you!!!

DISCLAIMER : I do absolutely love blogging and I am SO grateful for all the views and praise I receive, however, it does take up a massive chunk of my time, drafting, typing, uploading photos and checking my blog! I can't promise weekly blogs or anything because I have lots of school work plus extra curricular activities and it's all very time consuming! I LOVE YOU ALL AND I AM SO SORRY I WOULD LOVE TO BE A 24/7 BLOGGER!

Thanks for Reading!
