Shopping By Myself

21 June 2015

Hey guys! Do you know what I've discovered, I love reading just little posts about people's day, so I think I'm going to do that today. Okay so I am talking about Saturday (yesterday) even though I'll probably post this tomorrow. Anyway, I just had a really enjoyable day. It began with a trip to the hairdressers with my Mum because she was getting her hair done then an hour later I was getting my eyebrows threaded and my moustache waxed and my appointment wasn't till an hour later. I could have just got the bus at the necessary time but instead I hobbled along and sat in the world's comfiest chair and read my new book 'Shock Of The Fall'. It was so relaxing and calming, my exams are officially over and it was the first proper day I had no exams looming over me and I didn't realise how calming it would be. Although the salon was buzzing, I was just in my own little world.

Later on in the day I went into town by myself on a mission to hand in my CV at places, buy prom shoes, a fathers day present, some makeup (which I forgot to  buy but oh well) and my friend a birthday present. I went by myself though and a lot of my friends/people I know would never even consider going into town by themselves, but  I love it. I've done it a few times and I don't know why I just love it. There's no dilly dallying I just go straight where I need to and do what I need to do and because I'm by myself I can just go wherever I want. There's this whole stigmatism I feel with teens that you can't go out for long periods of time by yourself. I was probably in town for four hours and I was having a great time. Originally I wanted a buddy to go with though so I could ask for their opinion on prom shoes so I messaged a few pals but none could make it. I ended up bumping into another buddy in town and she was shocked that I was by myself and offered that I join her and her friend but I was just like chill I love being by myself don't feel bad for me that I'm a lone wolf. I am a lone, but extremely content wolf

IM AWARE THE SEEDS ARE WONKY BUT I JUST COULDN'T POSITION THEM RIGHT it was such a hard task an I failed
Handing in my CV at first was so nerve wracking because I had no idea what my opening line would be, and in case you hadn't noticed, I can just blabber on. So I went into the first shop and I was pretty sure they were hiring (because on their website it said they were) and I waited in the queue then when it was my turn I was speaking so fast eminem would have been impressed, I just kind of rambled on then she told me they weren't hiring anymore. Like cmon now lady, I just rapped for you.  I wrote like ten thousand paragraphs on me applying for jobs but don't worry guys, I got your back. Long story short though, I'm glad I ended up being brave and just asked whether places were hiring rather than relying on websites because I was often pleasantly surprised and ended up handing in my CV at two places which are my goal places to work and a few other places. I just feel really satisfied you know, because I know few people like their jobs  and all,but there is something pleasing about the thought you have a potential job at a store you love.

Whilst I was in office, because I rarely wear heels. Okay, I never wear heels apart from my Vagabond boots and sandals with a little heel, but I am very inexperienced when shopping for heels. So I was just discussing them with the salesperson and she was just so lovely and I chose a pair of shoes and I'm so happy with them.They're cute and fit me and they're sturdy looking. I just need to practice walking in them but I feel like 'for baby's first heels' I've done a pretty secure job.


For Father's day I brought my father seeds. He has become such a keen gardener and I overheard him talking to his friend who grows vegetables in their garden, so I had a eureka moment and decided to get him vegetable seeds. Then I got him a card with like a gardening thing on front, I wanted to get him one with an animal on the front because I'm a sucker for animals card, but then I figured nah because the card foreshadows the gift and I am all for foreshadowing. I then got my friend Connor Franta's book for her birthday (it was so tempting to read it whilst waiting for the bus but I resisted).


Ha, notice at the beginning how I said short posts about people's days. Oh well. I like chatting with you guys. Then on my way home, got caught in the rain, made silly faces at a little kid at the bus stop and honestly, making him laugh made me so happy. Then when I arrived home tried on my prom outfit and it just made me so excited for prom! I was nervous at first because everyone has such proper prom outfits and mine isnt exactly 'prom' but then I tried it on with the shoes and ah I forgot how much I loved it! Later I put on my workout clothes to exercise, but I just ended up sitting in them for hours. Im not sure how long all I know is I read a very large portion of my book, had a snack, watched some Game of Thrones then was called down for dinner. Im not sure how time passed so quickly and I was tempted to get back into pajamas but I was strong and just decided to go on a run after dinner. I know its not the best to workout in the evening but I was only doing it really because I hadn't run in a while not for specific body plan or anything. 

Okay wow this was a long post, but it was a long day, I done a lot. All I wanted to do really was watch Game Of Thrones all day, but instead I got so many things done and actually ended up having a wonderful day. Moral of the story? Go out by yourself and have a great time.

  1. Aw I also really love this style of posts, it's kind of like on youtube when sometimes vlogs can be way more interesting and just nice to watch than preplanned formula videos. It sounds like you had a lovely day, enjoy having no more exams! x

    1. Ah thank you! I don't know if wrote too much but oh well. Ah I will enjoy having no more exams, it's so exciting I have a reason to make myself look nice, I forgot how nice it is to look in the mirror and see a pretty makeup face rather than my usual horrendous eye bag and acne ridden face!:)x
