BOPAndOthers: January 2015

My January Favourites!

January has been a fun month, and I cannot believe it is already over! It's flown by! Anyway, I know I am early, but I thought I would put this out before the weekend, when we are busy doing a birthday party!

Let's get started with my January Favourites 2015!

My Favourite Album - I currently have two. I couldn't pick just one! After watching Into The Woods, a week or so ago, I have been in love with the soundtrack. It's basically just perfection, and the movie is perfect too! My favourite song from the album is On The Steps of The Palace which Anna Kendrick sung. Learnt all the words in like a day, and just in awe, Anna is an amazing singer, and I just can't get enough of the song tbh!

My other album is an oldie but goodie! It's High School Musical - The Collection. It has all the songs from all three movies, and fell head over heels for the movies again! I used to love it, learnt all the lyrics, and now I can still remember most of the lyrics (and dance moves, oops). But how can anyone not like High School Musical?! Best movies ever!

My Favourite App - I recently watched Essie Buttons Non Beauty Favourites, and she showed a trivia app called Trivia Crack. I am literally addicted. You can either do a challenge (answering 12 questions as quickly and correctly as you can), or classic. Classic is where you spin a wheel where you have six categories: History, Science, Geography, Art, Entertainment and Sports. If you answer three of the questions correctly you get the chance to win an award in that type of question. The aim is to try and get all six awards before your opponent. I didn't really explain that very well, but please go and try it!

Not a very clear picture (it's his turn) but just wanted to show you the board.

My favourite YouTuber - I have been in love with Jelle, for basically all this month. He is hilarious and I love his GTA V videos. I recently showed him to my sister, and she is watching him now too! He is a Dutch YouTuber who makes gaming videos, and does some vlogs as well on his other channel. This is Jelly.

My Favourite Programme - Over this past month, I have only really wanted to watch 3 programmes. American Horror Story recently ended, and the finale was absolutely brilliant. It tied everything up so well, and I'm so glad it ended that way. Freak Show was probably one of my favourites, I loved the characters and although the story line wasn't exactly what I was expecting, I still found it incredible. Sarah Paulson was amazing, her betrayal of the conjoined twins was perfect.

Due to my recent love of Melissa McCarthy, I found Mike & Molly, and hooked. Completely hooked, Melissa is such a great actress and it is the perfect pick you up comedy! Just hilarious and awesome in everyway.

My other favourite programme is Modern Family. I've been watching Modern Family, for quite a while now, but I have to say I am loving the recent season. Whenever I can watch it I will and the jokes never get old no matter how many times I watch the episodes!

My Favourite Social Media - I've fallen a bit more in love with Instagram, I don't really know why, but I love the app even more. I just love photography and I love seeing everyones different photography skills and what they've been doing. Great way to interact and meet new people with similar interests as you.

You can follow my Instagram: @Konnieee16

My Favourite Person - I have a few, I have to say. The main ones are my Grand-Parents. I love spending time with them, and teaching my Gramp new things to do with his technology/ how to use it, and having general chats with my nan whilst watching Mrs Browns Boys. Just love being with them and having jokes with them. They're simply the best.

Good Old #ThrowBackThursday. This is my nan and I out on a dog walk. Not sure how old I am, probably 2? But it's one of my favourite pictures.

This is my lovely Grand-Father, or as I call him Grampy.

My other favourite 'person' is Bear. I have fell even more in love with him/her this month, Bear has really come into her own, and she's quite the character. She is just wonderful, loves being stroked, loves flying for food! Just amazing. I can't really imagine my life without him/her. As you can see, still unsure of what gender Bear is.

My Favourite Film - Night At The Museum: Secret of the Tomb. I think it is the best one of them all, the storyline was incredible and everything just all fit in. At moments I was amazed by what they did, and I have to admit, I cried twice. I don't want to ruin the film, but the ending was so sad, it wasn't intended to be sad, but as it was Robin Williams last film, I found it incredibly moving.

I think that's all of my favourites of this month. January has been a pretty awesome month, and lots has happened. Tell me what your favourites are!

Until next time,

xoxo

I love when boys...

Boys have lots of different traits. They can be hot, but have a crap personality or be alright looking and have the best personality. I have to say there I certain things I love when boys do. Let's talk about that.

1. I absolutely love when guys have a deep voice. Not like Morgan Freeman deep, but like Jude Law. Basically I love Jude Law. Seriously, how can you not?

The picture speaks for itself.

2. When guys wear suits, with waistcoats. I have to say I love a solid grey suit, but I can appreciate any colour to be quite honest!

3. Can make me laugh. I don't mean like you have to fake a laugh to be nice, I mean laugh till your side hurts. Russell Howard, is immediately more attractive because he can make me laugh! Also, when guys have the same sense of humour as me. I have a very specific sense of humour, and not many agree with me, so it's always nice to find someone who I can enjoy a good joke with.

4. They have the same music taste as me. My music taste is very wide and broad, but I feel like I can like most music. I feel like I would be able to talk to them more if we liked the same music.

5. An obvious one but, when they love animals and children. When I see a guy I like, playing with children or animals, it doubles my attraction. Normally, you get to see a new side to them. They bring out a softer side, and it is wonderful to watch that transition. If a guy didn't like animals, i.e. birds, then we wouldn't be compatible. Birds before boys. Always and forever.

6. Get on with my friends. They don't have to be best friends with them, but at least be able to chat with them and it not be awkward. If he doesn't get the friends stamp of approval then he can bugger off!

And finally, 7. Have a shared love for walks, photography and gaming. I know there will never be the one person who is interested in all those things at once. But at the minute, they are my favourite things, and when I would be with my beau, these are the things I would like to do.

Bit of a weird blog post, but I just wanted to get over my love for guys in suits! How can you not, tbh!?!?

Anyway, talk about what you love in the comments. Till next time,

xoxo

Owl-cha glad you saw this!

Here are some crazy facts about Owls which you might want to know!

Barn Owls are silent in flight - this is due to the serrated edge of their feathers which lets the air go between their wings with no resistance meaning no noise.

If you want to know the gender of a Barn Owl, look on their chest, if there is spots, it's a Female, if not Male.

Breeze was a female, which you can tell because she had lots of spots!

Everyone thinks that all owls twit twoo, however this is a common misconception. Only the Tawny Owls make the twit twoo sound, this is normally a mating call. Our old Tawny Owl, Woody, would do this every night in the box, luring in all the other Tawny's around our village! We loved it, the neighbours didn't!! The Barn Owl creates a hissing sound, which they do when young, or when hungry. The European Eagle Owl and African Spotted Eagle Owl, make a different pitches of the same 'hoo' sound. It is lovely to hear.

Owls normally mate for life. During this time they can have clutches of between 4 and 6.

Chicks don't get their mature feathers until around 6 weeks. From then, they begin to lose their baby down, and their new bright feathers shine through.

Baby Bear

Baby Scooby

As Barn Owls get older, they grow whiter, and start to lose the marking on their backs and wings.

Owls don't have a crop, their food goes straight to their stomach. This is a bad design flaw for them, because if they eat a mouse that has been poisoned, they cannot cough it up leading them to death. Crops are found in hawks, falcons, eagles, and is a place they store their food before digesting it.

Owls have much better hearing than other Birds of Prey. Their eyesight is not as good, but their hearing is impeccable. Their ears are behind their eyes, and on Barn Owls are at different levels so that they can fine tune where their prey is to get a more accurate map, because they normally hunt in the dark.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows this but their eyes are fixed in their sockets. Unlike us, they cannot move their eyes around freely and have peripheral vision. Due to this, they can move their heads around 270 degress, meaning that they can look at you whilst their body faces away from you. They can also lean their heads right back so that their eyes are parallel with their back.

When comfortable, they will often find their balance and sit one footed. They will do this until they feel like their foot is hot enough, and then switch feet.

A fleet of Owls is called a Parliament.

Many people confuse an owls tufts with ears. They are not ears, as I said above, the ears are behind their eyes, the tufts are to simply show emotions. Tango, our African Spotted Eagle Owl, only shows her tufts when she is talking or when we are out, when she is home, her tufts are completely down.

Hope you found this interesting! Just thought it would be nice to say some facts about the beautiful creatures I keep and work with!

Till the next time,

xoxo

Living with a Barn Owl...

As you all know I currently have a 'baby' Barn Owl, Bear, now living with him is hard work! To be honest, I think raising a Barn Owl is more tough than raising a human baby. Although Bear has been as good as gold, he still has his moments that really rather annoy me. Anyway, I thought I would give you the low down on what it's like to live with a baby Barn Owl!

When I first got him, he was only 3 and a half weeks old, meaning that he had baby fluff and couldn't do all that much. He wasn't really walking at this point, more waddling around on his elbows. With him like this, it meant that I could bring him with me basically anywhere in our little carry box. At this stage he could easily fit in there with a teddy bear in there as well.

The day we got him!

He slowly got more comfortable with me, and recognised me as the food giver and 'Mum'. As he got more comfortable, he gained his confidence and started to walk!

I have to say although he didn't look too much like a Barn Owl at this point, it was one of his cutest moments! Especially when he would run to you, and stumble in the process!!

Everyone was a little confused when I would say he was a Barn Owl, as he resembled nothing at this point. Not too many people found him cute to be honest, but his baby fluff was adorable and oh so very soft!

At this age, you have to cut up all their food, remove the insides, cut the feet and heads off and give wings, legs and bodies. He was eating 2 chicks in the morning, 2 around 2pm and then 2 around 10pm for bed. We all found this extraordinary! Not even our big birds, e.g. Scoob our Snowy, or Koby our European Eagle Owl would eat that much! But he quickly gobbled it all down! Also at this stage, he was too young to put anklets on, so he would just roam my bed and his box, making it quite hard to pick him up without grabbing him between the legs!

Up to 8 weeks, he was sleeping in a cardboard box with a couple blankets in, beside my bed. For the first couple of weeks, he would have the hot water bottle and teddy bear, then cut down to just the teddy bear, and quickly running out to just blankets when he learnt that he could use him to get out the box! He was a crafty little owl!

He quickly began to grow up on me, day after day he would lose baby fluff and you could start to see adult feathers growing. The first to come through were the tips of his wings! Please don't laugh at him, I know he looks stupid! He had the big heart shaped face, huge beak compared to it, and he was just a bundle of white fluff, but unless you spent time with him you wouldn't know how much fun he was! He fixed my heart! And then melted it with his cuteness!

Gradually the feathers around his face began to change into what they are now! The black around the bottom of his face, I thought would disappear after a couple weeks, but nope! Still here, and I couldn't be happier! I cannot believe it, but this was taken on the 4th January! That was only 17 days ago, and he has changed drastically since! He was 6 weeks, and the amount that he would 'moult' was amazing. I had fluff flying around my room from where he would clean himself and it would just come out! And also the 'dandruff' - what I called it - would come out like dust! Basically he would cause a mess wherever he would sit or lay. Up till around 7 weeks, he would actually lay down and go to sleep. He would at first go to sleep on his elbows, and then basically dive bomb for the floor. He would then twist his head around to where it was comfy, and sleep. He looked like he was dead! Although it was cute, it was terrifying!

Recently though he has learnt that he can sleep standing up, and on one foot! When a bird is sitting with one foot tucked away, it normally means that they are content and happy. They will do it when they find their spot whilst sitting on someone or something, more often then not, their perch.

This is a picture of him at 8 weeks, and the change that has happened since has been truly amazing to watch! He has grown up to not just a Barn Owl, but a friendly, loving adorable Barn Owl!

At this stage, he hadn't quite gotten all his feathers. He also made it impossible to sleep! We decided that at 8 weeks, as he would be too tall to take out in the carry box, we would gear him up. Unfortunately, you cannot see in the picture, but I put a set of anklets on him, with flying and mews jessies. We found this was a much better way to control him, and get him used to wearing them. He has since gotten used to them, he doesn't bite them much, and has gotten used to being tied down or sat on the glove. Although he may be adorable, he is a little bugger at night, he is constantly wanting to come up on the bed and sleep with me, however once he settles down and finds his spot then he goes to sleep very quickly, and is normally quite quiet!

This is my little Boo Bear now. He turned 9 weeks yesterday, and is the most adorable Barn Owl ever! The problem we have now is that he currently weighs 13 ounces, and has very limited spots. This means we do not know what gender Bear is! The limited number of spots, normally means that it is a boy, however I have not heard of a boy that weighs 13 oz!

I currently know that he is okayish with dogs, and good with hoovers, loud music and people stroking him. We also learnt that he is fine with the box, I don't know how he would last over night but he went in fine and just sat there for a good 10 minutes!

If you would like more Bear updates then comment below, I could do an update every month or so!

I hope you all liked this post! Comment below what you thought!

My Dream Birds!

As you all should know by now, I have quite a few Birds of Prey, e.g. Owls, Falcons, Hawks, Kestrels. Although I love all the ones we have dearly, there have always been ones that I have wanted from day one.

Here's my Bird of Prey Wishlist.

1. This may sound weird but we have always wanted a Black Barn Owl!

Although he does look weird, I believe he is gorgeous! We have wanted one for ages, and we're still not sure whether to get one just because they are quite a lot of money! But you guys get what I mean?! Beautiful!

2. A Falconer's favourite at the minute a Goshawk!

Many of you might not find these beautiful, but I certainly do! To me Goshawks are beautiful agile creatures, and for the more experienced handler, which I don't believe I am just yet! But when I get to that point, I am definitely going to try and get one of these!

3. I have recently started following @Birdchaserbrys and fell in love with her Ferruginous Hawk.

Adorable right?! I love the colours! First the colour of his back, which contrasts the white of his chest, like whoa! Also them steel eyes, just wow. Such a stunning bird, and I will get one someday! Hopefully soon!

4. Aplomado Falcon - Need I say much more?!

My love for these falcons is unreal! Utterly beautiful, but so hard to find!!

5. Although I love the majestic Golden Eagle and stunning Bald Eagle, I have fallen head over heels with the Chilean Blue Eagle.

This is adult plumage, however I kinda think the Juveniles look better, oops!

Can someone just buy me one please?! Gorgeous birds, and it's gunna be a while till I even properly consider getting one!!

6. Probably my final dream one: The Grey Grey Owl.

I find these the most majestic owls, and the ones who look the most wise! They are absolutely gorgeous, and I have been after one for a good year!

Just beyond gorgeous!

My Top 10's!

Hi everyone! So today, I'm going to be doing my Top 10's. My Top 10 favourite books, movies, albums, artists, games, gadgets, etc! So read on if you want something new to do!

My Top 10 Favourite Books

1. Mockingjay - Mockingjay is my favourite of the Hunger Games Trilogy, as there's more action and I found it more interesting!

2. Insurgent - You will have to read Divergent to get it, but it's an amazing book!

3. Divergent - The characters, storyline and everything hooked me from the beginning! Must read for me!

4. The Fault in our Stars - A real tear jerker, as everyone knows by now, but an amazing book, John Green is incredibly talented!

5. Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging - This is a perfect book for young teens, you can relate to some of the things and it's just an easy read.

6. To Kill A Mockingbird - Although I do hate it from studying it so much, it is a great book and a great read. Think everyone should read it at least one in their life!

7. Woman In Black - Please keep in mind that this book is nothing like the recent horror movie with Daniel Radcliffe! That movie was made to be a horror movie and not an accurate representation of the book. Never the less, it is a good book, and the constant cliff hangers will keep you reading on!

8. The Killer Underpants/Neville The Devil - I chose these two as they were my favourite books to read in primary school! They are great books, however, I wouldn't recommend Neville The Devil to anyone younger than 12, it is a very strange book that you have to pay attention to and it gets very very weird quickly. However The Killer Underpants is a great book :-)

9. Captain Underpants - If you have a child that maybe isn't really interested in reading, more in the pictures. I would recommend any of the books from this series. It is in comic book form, which makes it more fun to read, and has extra parts that make you interact with the book. I have quite a few of the books, and love to read them if I don't want to read something that I have to pay attention to constantly!

10. Any Jacqueline Wilson book - Jacqueline Wilson consisted of 90% of my reading from Year 4 - Year 9. She is a very talented writer, and has so many great books that it's hard to just choose one. Tracy Beaker is a definite stand out for me - obvious right?!

Are any of these on your Top 10? Comment down below!

My Top 10 Favourite Films

1. Tammy - At the minute, this is the one that stands out. Melissa McCarthy is my current favourite actress, and to say I'm not infatuated with her would be a lie. I also love this film because Melissa and her husband Ben Falcone wrote this together and he directed it. It is a 15, so it does have some bad moments and curses quite a lot, but aside from that I think it is just great!

2. Pitch Perfect - Again, more for the older viewers, but in love with the film, the cast and storyline. The music is also amazing - 'cause it's not like I know every word to the songs or anything, nope, definitely not! Pitch Perfect 2 comes out this year aswell which I cannot wait for, it's just going to be amazing!!

3. Skyfall - Best bond film, and just a film that I treasure with my Grand-Father. He loves the Aston Martin DB5, and obviously James Bond, and so having the two re-united again made him very happy - until they blew it up, then he got very mad, oops!

4. Side Effects - Two words. Jude Law. Two more. Channing Tatum. Literally perfect, great storyline, and the characters were amazing. Please just go and watch it!

5. The Holiday - It may be a Christmas film, but could you ask for better actors?! Jude Law, Jack Black, Cameron Diaz & Kate Winslet. Perfect even if it's not christmas! P.S. Women watch out for Jude Law in glasses, phwoaar!

6. Mrs. Doubtfire - My favourite Robin Williams film, and just a childhood classic. It was always one of my favourite movies, and I have to say now it still is one my favourites.

7. Santa Claus 2 - Don't care if it's a Christmas film, still amazing! Although I have to admit, it has to be the second one! The first one is good, it's a good introduction to it, two is flawless, and I personally think they over did it in the third one, but that's just personal opinion! Chet is my spirit animal, and I wish I was him/want to have him myself.

8. Quartet - I honestly didn't think I would like this film, but it stunned me how much I loved it. I don't want to reveal much, but it's about a retired quartet meeting in a retirement home for the musically talented. Perfect and a great watch.

9. Beauty and the Beast - Haven't watched in years but just from constantly watching it with my grand-parents it has a very special place in my heart.

10. Frozen - I mean how can you not love Sven or Olaf. Also, how can you not want to sing a long to the songs! May seem a bit lame, but I adore it and I will always sing a long to it!

My Top 10 Favourite TV Programmes

1. Mike & Molly - Addicted. No other words, just pure hilariousness (not sure that that's a real word, oops). Basically amazing and please go and watch just the pilot, you will then understand.

2. Bones - I got into this quite a few years ago, and now my mum is hooked. We are currently on Series 10, and it has been an emotional rollercoaster. I adore the characters and all their different personalities, love the actors portraying them, and the storylines are hooking.

3. American Horror Story - Not for the faint hearted, but amazing story lines. Basically, each season is a different storyline. Season 1 was Murder House, Season 2 was Asylum, Season 3 was Coven and we are currently on Season 4, Freak Show. Although the storylines are different each time, they mostly stick with the same cast: Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Frances Conroy, Dennis O'Hare, Emma Roberts, etc. I have to say I loved Coven. It made me fall in love with Sarah Paulson's acting, and was just incredible.

4. Modern Family - This is more of a family show than the others, and I am hooked on the storylines and characters. Pretty sure nearly everyone has heard of the Pritchett family, but just go check it out.

5. Miranda - This pains me to write this, because it has ended. I love this programme so frickin' much. Miranda Hart is one of my favourite comediennes, and I adore her a heck of a lot! On the last episode, I cried the last 10 minutes knowing it was going to be the end. If you are American and have never heard of Miranda, then please go check it out. It is very witty and silly humour but is none the less, outstanding.

6. Mrs Browns Boys - Isn't this in everyones Top 10?! How can you not love Brendan O'Carrol? It is a marvellous programme, and I just can't get enough of it.

7. Gavin & Stacey - I know this has ended, but whenever I feel down, I just put on one of these episodes, and the hilarious characters can't help but make me feel happier. James Cordon and Ruth Jones, I salute you, and hope you come back together to write another comedy programme.

8. Mock The Week / Never Mind The Buzzcocks - I know they are completely different things, but I love them both and didn't have room for them both. Both brilliant comedy programmes and I love them equally.

9. Not Going Out - Lee Mack is a genius. I also love this programme because Miranda was in it, back in like the first series or two. Recently, they released the out-takes, and I nearly wet myself from laughing. I bl**dy love the programme!

10. Russell Howard's Good News / The Sarah Millican Programme - Two of my favourite comedians and I just love watching their shows.

Have you got any suggestions for other TV programmes I should watch? Comment them down below!

My Top 5 Favourite Albums

1. Now That's What I Call Drive - This is my favourite album, at the moment, just because it has all my favourite songs from the minute and then also some old time classics. It's just one of those albums that everyone loves - by the way, it's great for long car journeys!

2. Paloma Faith-A Perfect Contradiction: Outsiders Edition - I adore Paloma Faith, she's one of those people I look up to! In November, I went with my friend to go see her live in Reading, and she was perfect. This album has all the songs from A Perfect Contradiction with a few extra songs. You should just go check her out, she's amazing.

3. Kodaline-In A Perfect World - Kodaline are a very talented band, and I love this album, a lot! Go check out Big Bad World, Talk, High Hopes and Love Like This, they will make you love them, I promise!

4. Steps-The Ultimate Collection - Steps and Abba were the two bands I listened to the most when I was younger. These songs also remind me of my grand-father and how when he takes me home, we usually listen to Steps the whole ride, him whistling, me singing! Steps are the best, end of story.

5. The 1975-The 1975 - 1975 are awesome. They are indie band, and they have great songs, and they are gradually becoming more popular! So jump on that band wagon and listen to just one of their songs, maybe Chocolate? Or Heart Out?

I thought I would only choose 5 albums, as I wanted to also do my 5 Favourite Songs at the minute!

1. Ellie Goulding-Love Me Like You Do - It may not be out yet, but I love listening to this song. Ellie Goulding is extremely talented and although the song may be for 50 Shades of Grey, it is still a fantastic song!

2. Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars-Uptown Funk - Period.

3. Fall Out Boy-Uma Therman - So catchy, I only heard it a couple days ago, but in love.

4. Sam Smith-Like I Can - Sam Smith is incredible talented, and I adore the way he sings this song!

5. Imagine Dragons-I Bet My Life - Imagine Dragons are perfect, so is this song!

Sorry guys, bit long, but hope this helped someone find some new things to look at! Tell me if you liked this, or if you don't want stuff like this again, open to suggestions. I'll talk to you soon!

My 2015 Goals!

I cannot get over the fact that it's 2015! Can you?! 2014 went by so quickly, I finished school, had prom, left most of my good friends, lost quite a few people - basically to say it was an emotional roller coaster wouldn't even do it justice!

I thought to help me out, and make it more real for me, I would make a mind map which included all the things I wanted to achieve. This is a good idea, as it helps you be creative with your goals, and think of what could happen in 2015.

As you can see I have many aspirations for this year! These are mostly habits, and then the goals that I really want to focus on this year.

The main one I decided was to focus on the birds. The birds are my life, and I love them lots, and I thought as I didn't really do too much last year with them, I will aim to do a lot this year. I want to have them all manned down - which means that they are able to sit on the glove well, able to be touched, and are used to lots of different noises and new things. I want to have most of them flying, and if possible, going on to flying free. As I side note to the 'Birds' topic, I said I want to do more Weddings, Shows and Experiences. These things are my favourite things to do, it can be knackering, but it is nearly always worth it! There is normally always one person who can just brighten your day, and the birds help brighten theirs.

Another main topic, is that I want to take more photos and start to film videos! Photography is a passion of mine, that I adore to do, so this year I want my Photography game to step up! Hopefully in doing so, my Instagram game with also step up! So check me out, follow me, and soon I should be mostly lots of pictures! @Konnieee16.

Although they are not joined together in my mind map, Photography and the 'Spend more time outside' are linked. As I will be aiming to spend a lot more time outside, I want to take more pictures of the beautiful landscapes that I'm surrounded by! This topic is also linked to the Birds, as I normally like to spend my time outside with the birds, whether that's at shows, weddings, taking them on walks, or just chilling with them outside in the garden. This topic is also linked to 'Get tan' - another thing I failed at doing in 2014 (apart from maybe a little in Italy ;-) ).

I think my biggest aspiration for 2015, is to get into shape/get fit! I have said this for a couple years now, but I really am going to try and hit it hard. I'm tired of being tired, I want to be out there and doing exercise. I really miss doing PE, I loved it, I loved netball, badminton, basketball, tennis, everything - except trampolining, but that's a long story! I think that this will be my year, and I will try my hardest to get fit, and stay it!

There are some obvious ones on there like enjoying life more, spending more time with family and friends, save money, and trying to become more organised. I am also trying to do 'Tidy room - Tidy Mind', hopefully that should help to clear my head up, bit of a mess at the minute. I gave it a deep clean the other day and it is still clean, not sure how long that will last though! Another cliche thing is to try new things, and learn to do more things. I want to be able to ride my unicycle by the years up, I also want to learn how to play the guitar again, as I used to love it! But I feel like I am missing out on lots of things because of my fear of trying new things. I don't want my fears to hold me back anymore. I will overcome lots of things blocking my path, and still be standing strong at the end.

Finally, this year I will be 17, and I hope to get my drivers license. I want to get it, and start to save up for a car. I cannot wait to drive, it will give me a lot of independence and help me get away from lots of things.

I have to say drawing this mind map really helped me decide what my goals were, and I think at the start of the year everyone should do one!

Anyway, if you do end up doing one, then you should send me a picture of it on twitter: @Bopandothers. Or comment your 2015 goals down below!

I will see you next time!

xoxo
