Beautiful Everywhere

Good afternoon and welcome back to this afternoons' blog. I realise I've not provided an update for a while, so here we go. This Is Me is closing in on 500, I Have A Voice is almost at 400, Swifties Are The Best Friends Ever has been the fastest to 100 and Believe In Yourself is the fastest to 200. Thank you so much everyone for reading, sharing with friends and family and generally supporting my blog. It truly does mean the world. 

Today's topic is one that was suggested by my 'twin' (read Swifties Are The Best Friends Ever for background on the whole twin situation). When you use the word beautiful people think about whether or not they are physically attractive. But being beautiful is a lot more than that. We can also be beautiful on the inside - in our thoughts, in our words and in our opinions of others. A truly beautiful person will always look out for other people, putting others before themselves, and is always prepared to go that extra mile to put a smile on a friend's face. But how can we show our Aphrodite beauty on the inside..?

The easiest thing we can all do is to think positive thoughts about other people. And I'm not just saying are they pretty or 'fit'. There's a lot more to life than having a pair of 33B's (you know who you are!!!). Think about genuine qualities that people can have: confidence, selflessness, a kind heart, positivity. Having these qualities is what allows people to live life to the fullest. Think about how these trends can help other people. You wouldn't want someone refusing to help you because they are selfish. So don't be selfish towards others. Treat others how you would like to be treated (said literally every teacher ever)!

Being beautiful is also showing consideration for how other people are feeling. We don't know what other people are experiencing in their lives. They might have just suffered a family bereavement, maybe they've just lost their job or perhaps they are suffering with a mental health condition. Unless we ask we just can't tell. So don't do anything that could make them feel worse. If you see someone looking a bit down, simply ask them "How are you feeling?" or "Do you need anything?" Trust me it can make a massive difference to someone's day, and subsequently their life. Or if you know someone is going through a difficult period, buy them a gift. Not necessarily an expensive gift, but a small token gift such as a box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers. This shows that you are caring about them and really can make someone feel like they mean something because others care how they feel.

You don't have to be everyone's best friend in life, but just remember that every person has feelings and struggles in their life. You've got to be considerate and helpful towards our fellow humans. This is what makes us truly beautiful people. Not whether we have blonde hair, blue eyes, curves and a petite figure (any girls matching that description feel free to hook me up)! Beauty is inside and outside, and can be present in every decision we make.

Announcement time! Next week I will have a very special guest writer for the first time! A totally different writing style to what you get from me but nonetheless an incredible writer! Hopefully you are excited - there will be more information heading your way on Friday. Until then - stay safe, wash your hands and stay indoors if you are over 50 (who makes these ridiculous suggestions)?

Nobody Is Perfect

Good afternoon and welcome back to this afternoon's blog. Some of you might have been expecting a football blog today, however, due to the international break, I thought I would give you something with a bit more substance. Before I begin, I want to thank Shan for her incredible article on Monday about mental wellbeing during the current pandemic. There were some highly inspirational words that we can all live by during these difficult times. If you show it enough support then I might even ask Shan to come back for a part 2? For today's topic, I wanted to do a follow-up to Chloe Johnson's amazing guest article which she wrote about how the impact of social media affects the way we all see ourselves, and the way we all strive to match the 'perfection' of models with the help of Instagram filters. As Chloe made the point of saying, these are not real. But our mind does not know this and always tells us that we must improve, even when there is nothing wrong with us. So...

FA Cup Final Preview - Arsenal v Chelsea

Good afternoon and welcome back to this afternoon's blog. What a funny week we have had. Scotland are beginning to ease their way out of lockdown, while some parts of England are heading towards a second one. Some tests events on getting supporters back into sports venues have been cancelled, while claims have been made this morning that the death numbers reported by the Government are inflated. It's becoming very difficult to know who or what to believe in the current climate. We all should just continue to follow our local advice and hopefully as a country we are moving in the right direction towards returning to a normal life. I feel like this was the only topic I could choose for today's blog (I am an Arsenal fan after all). The biggest game of the English football season. A historic competition entered by over 750 teams back in August, and now only 2 remain. Not only is it a major cup final, but it's also a London derby. These 2 teams quite often compete for silver...

I Have A Voice

Good afternoon and welcome back to the second instalment of my blog. Thank you to all those who read my post on Monday. I was not expecting so many of you to take time out your day to learn about me (to be fair you probably had nothing better to do). But seriously though, as I write this the 'This Is Me' post has 260 views! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single one of you. I thought I would follow on from the previous post and let you in to another part of my life. This is a very sensitive topic, one I very rarely talk about with anyone. I am expecting to get somewhat emotional during this, but hopefully this will inspire people to open up about their inner most thoughts and feelings. The hardest part about writing this is the constant reminder of the negativity that was put on my life on a daily basis. Before I get into my story, let me provide you with some background first. People get bullied. Others are bullies. The way I see it, bullies are only mean to oth...
