Staying Strong

So today I thought I would do a review post, but not like the ones you usually see. I have been feeling down in the dumps recently and one thing that has really kept me going is the book Staying Strong by Demi Lovato. It has a page for every day of the year, with a quote, a paragraph and a goal. The quotes were all sent in by fans, some are famous quotes and others are just simple little ones people have come up with.

So I am going to show you a few examples of some of the days, every one is different which just makes this book better. I asked you all on twitter to send me a random date, as I didn't want to pick my favourite ones or the ones with the best quotes as I don't think that would be a completely true representation of the book.

This is the book, I bought it for about £10 on amazon (I am sure you could find it cheaper) it also has lots of pretty swallows in which look like my tattoo which make me happy, haha!

Here are some of the dates you sent me!

May 14th : 'Change is never painful, only the resistance to change is painful' - Buddha.
Change is a part of life and there's no way of getting around it. So accept the your life will be filled with all kinds of change, and even though it can sometimes feel uncomfortable, it's what builds out character and keeps us moving forward.
GOAL: Embrace the changes going on in your life whether they're positive or negative. They're all moving you forward and starting a new chapter in your life comes with change. It's okay to be thankful for blessings.

June 12th : 'It is not in the stars to hold out destiny but in ourselves' - William Shakespeare.
We always have choices in life. we make out opportunities, and we must find it in ourselves to achieve our destiny. We never really know what we can do or achieve unless we try.
GOAL: Stop leaving something important up to chance. Take control of it, and create the outcome you want.

June 19th : ' With pain, suffering, and grief come many opportunities to grow and change as long as we stay open.'
When your faith and strength are challenged, you have the most incredible opportunity to grow. It's up to you what you make of it. I've made a vow to myself that when times are difficult I will reach out for help and embrace that part of my journey with an open mind. I know that these obstacles are a way to become stronger and develop my faith, but I can't do it without staying open to receiving help from others.
GOAL: If you are dealing with something painful, stay open-minded and ask for help. You never need to face anything alone - there are so many resources available to help.

October 1st : 'We can't control all in life . . . but what we can do is look ahead and dictate where we go next.'
Life will bring you every kind of emotion and experience you can thing of, and plenty that you'd never even imagine. I try to take everything that comes to me with gratitude. Life is about not knowing and making the best of any situation.
GOAL: Thing about something wonderful that lies ahead for you.

So I am only going to show you those four as it seems like a lot to read, and I don't want to over load you with words. But as I said, this book helps me every single day. And knowing that whatever you are going through, there is always someone going through the same thing. Knowing that celebrities, such as Demi and Zoella have problems such as Depression and Anxiety, things I suffer with myself, gave me the confidence to start my blog. So never ever feel alone. The book title came from her 'Stay Strong' tattoos which was something all her fans kept saying to her while she was at rehab. It is also something I tell myself when I am sad or things seem too much.

Thank you so much for reading this post, and for all the supportive people and followers I have.

What kind of blogger are you?

So I came across a few posts online for 'different types of bloggers' I immediately just thought like beauty, fashion, gadgets, gaming etc. But that isn't what the posts meant, they meant different types of people that blog. So if you are like me and just thought blogging is blogging, its a hobby that certain people enjoy and they talk about their interests and that is that, then apparently we are all wrong.

So first of all you have the general types, like I first thought of. You have :
The Hedonist - Who just posts about life in general.
The Techie - Fascinated by new gadgets and apps.
The Professional - Those people that have to do it for their jobs and to make connections.
The Preacher - They stick to one field and update you on the latest and greatest.
The Life Improver - A 'how to' blog.
The Beauty Hunter - Beauty, Make up, Fashion, Hair, Nails etc.
The Life Stager - Blogging about life tasks such as a pregnancy/baby blog.

Then it gets even more confusing, these are different types of people that blog :
The Parasite : Basically just copy and paste from a more successful blogger.
The Doppelganger : The same as The Parasite but they ask for permission to do it.
The Controvery King : Disagree with everything to get attention.
The Contrarian Specialists : Disagree with everything but with a good point.
The Researcher : They like to know everything about everything.
The Reluctant Blogger : Posts on and off.
The Hedonist Blogger : Don't care if anyone follows them, they enjoy doing it.
The Niche Influener : The blogger everyone wants to be.
The Secret Agents : Knows everything about specific things but for their job.
The Astute Observer : They know everything about everything in their field.
The Guest Blogger : Writing for other blogs.
The Marketer : Only write promotional posts about a product or service.
The Social Enthusiast : More on social media than blogs. Social identity is very important.
The Professional Blogger : Earn their living from their blog.
The Passionate Blogger : Passionate about writing and what they write about.

So there are so so so many posts online about different types of bloggers, there are over 100 different types I found, I just wrote a few out for you guys. So how does it feel to know you are being put into a category? I love writing my blog but personally, I do it because I love it. I love putting my opinions out there and the fact that people actually read my posts make me feel amazing but I don't do it because I want money or I want to be known, I just do it because it is something I enjoy, and I know the same goes for a lot of other bloggers.

Thank you so much for reading this post, let me know your thoughts on all these different types of bloggers.

Petite Fashion Week

So as I have mentioned a few times on my twitter, I am super excited about the networking event in London on March 14th for Petite Fashion Week. It will be so lovely to meet lots of other bloggers as well as getting advice on how to dress for my shape and taking a look at some clothes and shoes (although my bank probably wont appreciate it).

Here are some of the people that will be attending and talking at the event, lots of fashion and beauty personnel that I am uber excited to meet and hear their thoughts and advice.

And these are the sponsers of Petite Fashion Week if you were interested in knowing!

I will be doing a post after to let you all know how it was, and if you are going then let me know!

Event day!

Hi guys!

Sorry it's been so long since I posted, super busy with work and I've redone my bedroom etc! 

But I thought of an idea that I wanted to get your opinion on.

I'm thinking of hosting a kind of meet up/networking event. It'll be indoors (because you NEVER know what the weather will do) probably in/near stafford which is in the very middle of the midlands, and I will make sure it is near to a train station, it will probably be a weekend due to the fact everyone is more free on weekend and I will try to get some designers/make up artists etc down to have a talk to you all and check out some products/clothes.

So if you are interested the let me know on twitter @bexrenshaw or email me bexrenshaw@icloud.com and give me and idea you have or just let me know if you think it's a good idea!
