Childhood Memories

Hey guys! Now this posts is for all you guys born in the 1990's and hope much fun we had growing up, from what I can remember anyway. Now living in the UK is so much different from living in the US (based on what I've seen on TV). Personally I didn't "play out." I personally preferred exploring my imagination (and not in a crazy way haha). I like to think of myself as a creative person. My imagination is limitless. I'd imagine being all sorts of things from being a mermaid (inspired by Arial and H2O just add water) to being a princess. By the way my favourite princess is Princess Tiana, also my favourite disney princess film. 

Who remembers Recess, That's So Raven, Kim Possible, the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, ect. All those awesome Disney Channel shows that unfortunately don't show anymore (well some of them do). Those were my childhood TV shows. Rushing home just to go and watch them. Now there are all these new TV shows that come on in their replacement. I even miss Hannah Montana. My stress back then was mostly caused because I wondered if she would pick Jake or Jesse. I loved Jesse - I'm glad she picked him in the end. 

What's your favourite childhood memory?

Top 5 Apps On My Phone

Hey guys! I hope all is well. Firstly, for those of you that would like to participate it my "Let's Chat" sessions on Tumblr (anonymously or not) check out my Tumblr Page for when they will be hosted ( www.onlineimperfections.tumblr.com ). For more information on that click here.

Moving on, so today I was just messing around on my phone and BOOM! An idea popped into my head - that I should do a 'top 5 apps on my phone' blog post. I know that sometimes I get bored with the apps I currently have and maybe you guys do too. Therefore, you might want to try out these apps (if you don't already have them). Now this isn't in order of preference because I love them all for different reasons:

  1. Twitter - I am constantly on Twitter in my spare time, scrolling down the timeline (you can follow me @OImperfections) and stalking my favourite celebs haha jokes. I absolutely love Twitter because it's a great way for you to see what your friends are up to and your favourite celebrities. You might even get a follow if you're lucky!
  2. Tumblr - Now I've only recently started reusing Tumblr again (on my personal account and I just set up one for this blog) and can I just say, I have laughed so much because of it! Some of the photos on there are sooo hilarious!
  3. Snapchat - I never really used Snapchat, even though I had it, for many reasons. But for the past few days I have been using it so much more to talk to my friends. 
  4. Crazy Taxi - This is probably my favourite game to play on my phone. I highly recommend downloading it of App Store. 
  5. Music Downloader (unsure that's what it's called) - Where would I be without my music app! That apps is a must have (for me anyway). I also have Spotify but I prefer this one. 

So that's it, I hoped that you liked this post. Let me know if you did and what your favourite app is, by commenting.

#TeenageProblems: Imperfect

Hey guys! So today is a bit of a different post. I was thinking about how much us teenagers may (from time to time) feel like we always need to be perfect. "But I'm here to tell you, every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top..." (Sorry for my All About That Base reference).

Let's catch up

Hey guys! Today has been such a long day for me. So many stressful yet eventful things have happened at school. You know when it just gets to a point in your life when you just can't be bothered to argue anymore, with anyone. You just don't even think that it's worth it anymore. Well that's how I feel now. I think it's came to the part in high school when you just begin to dislike a lot of people and just tollerate them because you can't be bothered to have a feud. There is only a few people I can actually trust. "Can't trust anyone these days. Trust me."

Anyway on a more positive note - OMG EastEnders has been good lately! Don't you think? I just hope that Ronnie gets to live happily with her Baby and Charlie.

Pretty Little Liars - firstly let's just take a moment for Jason and Mike and how good looking they are!! *Pauses for a minute* I cannot wait for season 6 to find out who A is! Who do you think it is?

I watch far too many TV shows haha! Tell me your favourite TV show cause I want some new ones to watch whilst Teen Wolf and the Fosters are on a break.

Mini Q&A

Hey guys! For a while now I have been wanting to write a Q&A blog post and now I have finally gotten round to writing one. I am currently relaxing because tomorrow when I go back to school I go back to being busy. I know that if I don't do this today I will probably forget about writing one. Now this is just a mini Q&A so lets just get into it:

Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet | HAUL

Hey guys! Recently I went to the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet and I had an amazing time and I bought a few things. So I decided to do my first proper haul blog post!! Now although there were SO many shops I only got clothes from Super Dry and Polo Ralph Lauren.


How gorgeous is that Christmas tree!!



What I bought from Super Dry:
  • So the first thing I got from Super Dry was a jacket. I've wanted one for ages so I decided that it was time for me to finally get one!
  • The second thing I got was a jumper. This sweater is so soft and it looks a bit "Christmasy". It is navy blue with a pink pattern.
  • The last thing I got was just a top. It is navy blue with green writing.

What I bought from Polo Ralph Lauren:
  • I got two tops in the same style but one in orange and one in light blue (I got a lot of blue stuff haha).
  • The last thing I got was a pink  V neck sweater. I thought it was rather cute, I absolutely love it and I cannot wait to wear it!

Now that's all that I got from the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet.
 
 
Remember when I said I really wanted some black boots? (I'm not even sure if I actually mentioned that in a post or tweeted about it but anyway I really wanted some boots). Well I finally bought some!! I got some from Office yesterday on sale for £40.00!!
 
 
 
I absolutely love them! They are so cosy and warm. They are exactly what I was looking for. I really want some brown boots similar to these now. 



Now that's the end of my haul. I hope that you guys liked it.

Pretty Little LiArs

Hey Cuties! As you may or may not know that one of my favourite TV shows is Pretty Little Liars (PLL)! I just watched last weeks special, We Love You To DeAth and it gave me an idea to write a PLL themed blog post. For those of you that either have no idea what Pretty Little Liars is or have never watched it before here's a little synopsis:

Pretty Little Liars is a TV series based on the book series written by Sara Shepard. It's about 4 girls that begin to received threats from an anonymous person called "A", after one of their best friends went missing. Now I don't want to give too much away but I highly recommend watching PLL as it is filled with tension, suspense and is just overall AMAZING! Every episode leaves me curious of what is going to happen next. The one question which is still left unanswered for everyone is 'who is the big "A"?' The producer, Marlene King, said that the Big A will be revealed before the final season (season 7). Thank God!



SPOILER ALERT!!

A mini PLL tag:

At the moment we are currently half way through season 5 so my answers for these questions might change.

Who do I think "A" is?
Throughout the series I thought "A" was a bunch of different people. In season 1 I did guess that Mona was "A" which turned out to be true but after season 2 guessing who "A" was became more challenging for me because there were so many "A" potentials. I never guessed that Toby would have joined the "A" Team, when I found out he was "A" I just hoped he had a really good reason which he did. Now I think that the "Big A" is one of the Liars which would definitely put a twist on things. Since the liars are one of the least expected people to be "A" I decided to use reverse phycology aha! However, the producers might decide to make "A" someone who we all suspected. Who knows?! I can't wait to find out who "A" is once and for all.

Who is your favourite character?
In the beginning I liked Hanna and Aria but as I began to watch more and more episodes I began to love Mona's character. "She is like 7 characters in 1" Lucy Hale (Aria) said in the Season 5 special. That statement is so true! Mona goes from being "A" to being Crazy Mona to being Bad-ass Mona... Janel Parrish is a great actress and I hope they have a ghost Mona because the show won't be the same now that Mona is dead.

Who do you ship?
I ship Hanna and Caleb (Haleb) and Aria and Ezra. I think Aria and Ezra have had the most relationship struggles throughout the series but they still managed to always go back to each other.

Favourite Villain?
Definitely MONA!!

What has been your favourite episode so far?
I love SO many of the episodes and it is hard to pick just one but I'm going to say the most recent one (season 5 episode 12) because I never would have thought that Mona would had been killed! That episode shocked me the most I think.

What do I think of Alison?
Alison is one of those characters that I think goes by the saying "every man for themselves." You never really know what her motives are, she just can't be trusted. She is an intimidating and scary character, you just don't know what she is capable of doing.

Which Liar do you think has been hurt the most by A?
I think they have all had their bad "A" moments but I think that Spencer and Emily have been hurt the most by "A". Spencer is currently being framed for murder!

Which one of the girl style's do you like the most?
I like them all on different occasions but I tend to like Aria's the most.

Kisses -A

I hope you liked this post and if you don't already watch Pretty Little Liars I recommend watching it.

Little treats


Hey guys, I hope that you all enjoyed your weekend. My Sunday consisted of me relaxing and watching movies and TV shows. Since I tend to do all my homework and revision during the week my weekends are usually free so I can relax. On Sunday I felt like buying myself a couple of little treats for the evening. So I bought myself one of my favourite chocolates, FERRERO ROCHER!! It had been absolutely AGES since I had last eaten them. (It had been about 3 years or so which is a long time in my opinion!) I even forgot that they had a peanut in the centre. Am I the only one that doesn't eat that peanut haha? Can I just say how DELICIOUS the chocolate centre was!! I forgot what I had been missing out on for the past 3 years.

I had to have one of my favourite drinks to go with them so I bought a bottle of the elderflower Bottle Green drinks. I drank the entire bottle whilst X Factor haha! Can I just say that X Factor was amazing on the weekend! Who do you guys want to win this year?

Two months blogging & a few blogging tips

I can't believe that it has been two months that I have been blogging already!! It seems like it was just yesterday that I started blogging. I know that you might be thinking "it's only been two months, not two years. What is she getting excited about?!" But two months is a big deal to me because I have learnt so much over these past couple of months. I have decided to share a few things that I have learnt so far.

Comparing my blog to other blogs: It is very easy to compare yourself to other bloggers which is something nobody should do. I know that I use to do this. I use to compare how many followers I had, compared to the "bigger" blogs that had thousands and I didn't have any. What I realised was that, it does not matter how many followers you have. Whether you have ten or ten thousand, it does not make you more or less superior. I am happy if at least one person in the world reads my blog, that alone blows my mind.

Blogging frequently: I try to blog frequently. I try and make sure that I post at least 2-3 times a week. Since I am in high school and I do get a lot of homework, I may not be able to post as much as much as I would like to but I will try and post as often as I can.

Staying organised: Blogging is actually hard work. You have to think of blog post ideas, then plan them and write them. It can be a long process at times. I tend to spend between 10 minutes to an hour writing a blog post (that excludes planning it). I think that it is easier to write multiple blog posts on the weekend and then schedule them. This makes things easier if you tend to be busy during the week. I might start doing this more often.

Images: I realised that a lot of blogs use proper cameras to take pictures. You don't have to buy a fancy camera to produce decent images. I don't have a fancy camera. I simply use my phone to take pictures and they turn out quite decent in my opinion.

Can I just say that I am really enjoying blogging and I cannot wait to see what my blog will be like in two years time.

If you guys have any blog posts requests or ideas do not hesitate to tell me. You can leave comments or email me ( onlineimperfectionscontact@gmail.com ). If you want to talk to me you can tweet me ( @OImperfections ) on Twitter or email me.

I hope that you have enjoyed this blog post :)

Harry Potter Weekend

Hey guys, I have been in a Harry Potter mood all weekend! I am currently in the middle of a Harry Potter movie marathon (I'm now watching the Order of the Phoenix). I absolutely love Harry Potter. Yesterday I took the 'which Hogwarts house do you belong in' quiz and found out that I am in...

Yeah I am in Gryffindor! The same house that Harry, Hermione and Ron were in! Take the Harry Potter Quiz and find out what house you're in.

I also took the Harry Potter trivia quiz. Believe it or not but I actual got them all correct (I did guess a few though)!! I got 25/25, I am a bit of a Harry Potter nerd haha.


 
 
Take the Harry Potter trivia Quiz  and see what you score, then comment down below telling me your score.

Mini Haul | Krispy Kreme | Stooshe

Hey guys, yesterday I went shopping and bought a few things.

First of all I bought 2 dozen KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS!! I absolutely LOVE the Krispy Kreme doughnuts!! As a one off we decided to get one original glaze dozen and one assorted dozen. Don't worry they weren't just for me. As much as I love them I couldn't eat 24 doughnuts in one night. They're far too sweet for one person to eat. Did you know that one Original Glaze doughnut has 217 calories?! The Glazed Raspberry (my favourite one) has 307 calories!! That's a lot for only one doughnut but I still eat them haha!


(Sorry the image is upside down)
 
 
I got to see Stooshe perform as well. They were really good. 
 
 
 
My favourite clothing item I bought was a black Skort. I wanted one for ages and now I finally have one, I cannot wait to wear it. I'm thinking of wearing it with a cute black and white top but to be honest I think any coloured top would look great with it. I also bought a new jumper, nothing fancy.
 
 
I went into Office and whilst I was looking for Dr Martens I saw this in the corner of my eye. It was at that moment I fell in love with...




 
... This pair of All Star Converse!! They are called Ctas Tri Zip Navy Sparkle Wash. I love the zip at the back, I think that is what attracted me to them as well as the colour. Comment down below telling me what you think of them.
 
I hope that you enjoyed this post, let me know if you would like me to do more haul posts.

Tips on staying organsied for school

We are now about a month into the academic year so I decided that I would give you some tips on how to stay organised for school.

  1. Have a planner - I'm sure that we all get tons of homework every week (well at least I do) and we might forget what our homework is and when it is due in. So get a planner/ diary if your school doesn't provide one so you can write down your homework assignments.
  2. Create a timetable - Create a timetable so you can organise your week. You can write down what days you do after school activities or what days you are going to revise certain subjects.
  3. Highlighters - Highlight key parts of information, this way when you are revising the important parts standout.
  4. Post it notes - Wirte down key parts of information on post it notes. Having multi coloured ones are better because you can stay colour coordinated. 
  5. Have a notebook - have a notebook so you can write down notes. 
  6. Study cards - I love using study cards to help me revise. It is so much easier than just reading out a text book all of the time. So just write down the things you need to know for your exam in note form and use them when revising. 
  7. Alarms/ reminders - set phone reminders for when you have important dates to remember, like exams or what time your are going to revise.
  8. Re-read school work - make sure that you read over your school work so you don't forget what you learnt that lesson.
  9. Get rid of distractions - Get rid of distractions (your phone, laptop, ect) whilst revising or doing school work!!
  10. REVISE!! - Don't forget to revise! If you don't revise you might forget everything you have learnt at school and fail your exams so REVISE!!
I hope that you found these tips useful. If you have any other tips that you might like to share just comment down below.

Manchester | Trafford Centre | Cornoation Street Tour

Recently I went to Manchester to go the Coronation Street Tour so I decided I would tell you all about it and show you some of the images that I took.

First of all I went to the Trafford Centre (which is AMAZING) and did a bit of shopping. I absolutely loved it, especially the massive eating place. I have never been to a shopping centre like this one before. I wish there was one like this near my house, I would probably go there everyday haha.

This water fountain is so cute!!
 
 
(One of my favourite pictures I took).
 
Look how busy it was! The queue to most of the restaurants were so long, especially at McDonalds.
 
 
On the way from the shopping centre we passed the Manchester United football ground.
 

 
 
The coronation Street Tour
When I arrived at the tour I received a BACKSTAGE PASS! I felt like such a celebrity haha! The tour guide took us inside the studio and showed us around. I saw some of the dressing rooms and we even got to see the sets. In the Rovers Return Inn the tour guide took a picture of us behind the bar.(Unfortunately I was not allowed to take pictures whilst viewing the sets).
 
Once we finished inside we went outside on the actual Coronation Street. Walking on cobbles was so uncomfortable but it was a new experience. I took so many pictures so here are a few:
 






















I hope that you enjoyed my post, feel free to comment down below if you have any questions.
