Hey guys, here's a list of my playlist that I made in the beginning of May and I still listen to them most nights.

• Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke- I just love how this song is so fast paced and catchy.
• How To Be A Heart Breaker by Marina and The Diamonds- I love the lyrics and how it's so upbeat.
• Radioactive by Imagine Dragons- I love the beat.
• Impossible by James Arthur- Even though the  beginning is quite slow, I still love that part. I don't really know the lyrics, I just love the beat to it.
• #thatPOWER by will.i.am ft. Justin Bieber- I don't know most of the lyrics in this either but it's catchy.
• Thank You by MKTO- I love the lyrics!
• Hey Porche by Nelly- I just like listening to this in the background
• I Need Your Love by Calvin Harris- I love the lyrics
• Love Is Easy by McFly- I love the start so much! The 'do do do do do' part
• Army of Two by Olly Murs- Can't go wrong with a catchy Olly Murs song.
• The Love Club by Lorde- After hearing Royals, I began listening to her other songs and fell in love with this one.
• Royals by Lorde- After listening to this once, I immediately searched up the lyrics haha and I've learnt the lyrics off by heart now. Love this song so much! <3
• Diamonds by Rihanna- I just love the "Shine bright like a diamond" line.
• It's A Beautiful Day by Michael Buble- Love this song, it's so happy and just brightens up your day.
• Locked Out Of Heaven by Bruno Mars- I didn't like this song at first but then it started to sound better and better each time I heard it.
• Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean- Such a great song.
• One Way Or Another by One Direction- Everytime I hear this song, I just immediately think of the One Direction guys and their goofiness/funniness because of the music video that they made.
• Life in Sunshine by Jamie McDell- After being addicted to her song 'Rewind', I started listening to her other songs and this is another one of her songs that I love.
• Rewind by Jamie McDell- Such a catchy songs, although the lyrics a repeatitive, I still love it because the lyrics are easy to remember. I especially love the "Rewind 5 times" part <3
• Zombie by The Pretty Reckless- I have always loved song from The Pretty Reckless, although I don't usually listen to songs that are quite dark, I love listening to their songs. The lyrics are always so catchy and I love singing along.

Hey guys, if you only read my blog, then you wouldn't know this but if you've read my tweets lately, then you'd know that we got a puppy on Saturday! I'll just say some facts about him first. He's a black and white Shih Tzu called Oreo. (Get it? It's black and white, just like the colour of an Oreo biscuit.) He's currently 8 weeks, (almost 9) old. He weighs 1.8kg (When we went to the vet today, we saw it on the scale). That's pretty much the facts I think.

Saturday morning:
I woke up early (7am ish) because I was too excited to get this puppy. We weren't leaving until 10am though so I had quite a lot of time to spare. I don't even remember what I was doing, my brain just kept going back to thinking about the puppy.

Saturday afternoon:
At 11am, my mum, dad and I arrived to the owner/sellers house and once we got up to their front door, they handed Oreo to us and my dad held onto him. The owner was super nice, they told us about how to take care of him and all that but they didn't know that we already have a dog at home. Oreo's mum was super adorable! She was begging. I don't know if she was just begging because she can, or if she was begging to have Oreo back to her :'( Or maybe she just wanted food. I really think that it was because she wants Oreo back. So cute but aw, so sad! During the car ride, Oreo was actually pretty calm. He was just shaking when my dad was holding him during the conversation with the owners and when he first went into the car. After a little while, he was just sleeping or just laying on my mum's legs.

Saturday night/Sunday:
Oreo is not shy at all and loves playing with us. He sleeps with me on my bed. He already knows that that's his bed because at night, when I put him on my bed, he instantly finds a good spot to sleep. Which is usually on my pillow or near it. And if I leave my room to get something that I forgot to bring in, while he's still on my bed, he gets so sad even cries when I leave for too long. Which isn't actually that long, maybe just like a minute or so. Oreo is honestly such a cutie pie! He is really playful (just like the previous owner said) and gets along well with Hazel.

Hey guys! So for two weeks now, I have been on a diet. Like I have definitely and will definitely not back out of this one. I used to always just say "Oh, I'll definitely start on Monday" but then I just ruin it so I say "Oh, I'll start next Mondayt." The cycle just keeps going on until I eventually forgot about it. But this time, I started my a Tuesday, I didn't plan it, I just started thinking about going on a diet and I didn't want to let anymore excuses get in the way of me finally being happy about my body. My goal is to get a flat stomach, not like flat like a piece of paper, but I just want to slim down. I don't care about the numbers on the scales because looking at those charts about your height and your ideal weight doesn't mean that you're skinny. On the charts it says that my weight is perfect for my height but I'm still not satisfied because I want to be able to wear tight(ish) clothes out in public without having to worry about my fat stomach sticking out and showing. I currently weigh 52.5kg. I know that it doesn't actually sound like much, but some people older than me are like in their 40kg's. WTH RIGHT? Anyways, I don't have an ideal weight goal, I just want to actually love my body. I know, most people blame it on society but the society can't take all the blame. Well of course everybody (mostly teens/young adults) want to be skinny and look as pretty as movie stars but honestly, you can't trust what you see on screen. Everything is majorly photo shopped  Professional photos of celebrities even photo shop the model to be skinnier than he/she is in reality.

So you must be wondering what my diet plan is..
It's nothing major, I'm just eating less.
Okay, I don't mean that I'm not eating at all. I do still eat but my choices in food are healthier and I'm eating less. I have started up a tumblr page where I take photos of the food that I eat and then I make a post on the food I have had on every day. This way, I can keep a record of how much food I'm eating each day and now that I'm aware of how much food I eat each day, I try to eat the same amount but instead of eating junk and fatty food (excluding breakfast and dinner because no matter how fatty they are, I'd still eat it) I eat fruits or just drink tea or honey water because it's not fatty and it's not bland like water. On the very first day that I started recording down my food, I ate 8 different things. And now, two weeks after the first recording, I had 6 different foods. Although, my results vary depending on whether I had school or not because I eat less food then. Since last week, I have decided to only eat one kind of junk food each day so if I ever wanted a snack, I'd have to get something healthy because I wanted to wait for a good moment to eat the junk food. From this week on, I'm not only going to record what and how much I eat, I'm going to eat half of the serving amount as I normally would eat. For example, I will have half of the amount of rice I'd usually have for dinner. I'll keep doing one week challenges! I haven't thought of any more but I'll come up with something eventually. So that's about it!

Oh and also, I have started exercising more frequently by using this walking machine thing that I've got at home. It helps me tone my legs more.

Hopefully one day I will achieve my goal :)

Love,
Elaine
