The Lake District

Hey,
I was looking through my old pictures and I came across this folder "The LakeDistrict" I was looking through it and as I was, I was thinking of how beautiful it is and how photogenic everything is, even the wall are so rustic and are just made with such beauty. For me,I always find it so fun, going some place new. Being in the same place gets boring and its so cool to do something different. In the Lake District, we do a lot of walking which of course is great for you and you see some fantastic views and of course theres a picture opportunity around every corner. So you can always guarantee some great pictures, and you can explore. Its always so fun and is such a good holiday destination for the family, especially if your active, its perfect. However you can get tired, walking up mountains, so bring plenty of water and food!

I hope you enjoyed this quick post, now I thought I'd just share with you some of the photos and show you the beauty of the place.
Also, I'm so sorry that I didn't post on Tuesday and Thursday. It will never happen again, I've just been really busy with school. I'll definitely do extra posts this week to make up. I'm so sorry
See you soon,
Mi x

Snapchat

Hello,
I just thought I'd write this quick post, as I decided to get Snapchat. I really wanted a way to communicate with you guys. Without jumping right in the deep end head first, and its more chilled back than actually only blogging/uploading on set days and I find it quite formal, while Snapchat is more laid back, which is great. I thought Snapchat was a nice starter than going in with Twitter or Instagram straight away. I definitely want to get them sometime but not straight away. So I decided to get Snapchat and I'll post stuff on my story and snap you, of course, as I want to learn more about you. I just think Snapchat is perfect

I am 'mifantasy' on Snapchat. I'd love to chat to you, so if you want add me and we can talk, I'm really excited!
I'll see you Tuesday! Have a nice weekend.

5 Tips For Revising

Hey,
So,I'm not sure about you but I excel at some subjects but NOT at others at all! Thats when the thought popped into my head... I'm just the person to give advise.. jks... I'm not at all. However I am going to give it a good dam try! :) I'm still in school, I get it, I know how hard it is, so I thought I'd help you be more successful with revising. To be honest, I think I should take some of my tips on board too. First of all, I am no expert trust me... But I like collecting different tips, so I thought I'd  just share them with you and they may not be any help to you or they might?! I don't know.
Firstly...
I get easily distracted, so this one for my is perfect, I always find my mind wandering off, especially my hands seem to often reach to my phone... 
1) Turn off devices
I am really bad at managing time, for me I created a schedule and made it all pretty and put it up on my wall and then I know when I have to do it, as I'm basically a time freak and like everything to be on time, so if I plan something and don't do it, I just get really.. you know ;)
2) Set a set time when you are going to revise
Remember, this is your chance in life. Also your social media is here forever, your grades are important they will stick with you forever. I can never do work if I don't feel like working...
3) Get motivated
I personally love quotes, they really inspire me.
If I'm not aiming towards anything I think "Whats the point?!"
4) Set yourself a goal
Once you reach your goal you feel really happy and good about yourself and its a challenge which is fun and it makes you work for it.
If I'm not comfy, I seem to be uncomfortable and fijit a lot and can't concentrate.. So do what you want to make yourself comfy, then hopefully you should be more ready to work.
5) Find a comfy spot
5 Revision Tips DONE! Also I just thought I'd add one more: For me buy some new stationary and books, that really makes you want to work, as you want to use them, which makes you WANT to work!
Final one I promise ;) Make sure you're organised.. I'm the least organised person EVER, I'm always late but I try not to be, as when your organised you have a clearer mind.

I Hope these helped, or I just entertained you for a few minutes or just thank you for being here!
Tell me if you want another post on school/revising/tips//////... BTW Feel free to rant about your bad subjects I'm sure we can join in and agree ;D I am currently about to leave for parents evening wish me luck.
I'll see you on Tuesday 8:30pm british time. See you soon! Hang on, can I just say thank you, I've really been enjoying blogging and I love reading through the comments. I love you! 
Happy Revising!

Smile, You are beautiful <3

A Walk In The Park

Hey,
Today is quite a casual post, but I think you might enjoy it... I went for a stroll around the park and I decided to take some photos, as I thought this might be a nice post to write...
When I was walking around, I started thinking, just thinking... I always find the park to be a nice place, where your not caught up in the circle of stress and life, its almost like an escape route, which I think everyone need so often. The park its calm. If you want you can just sit, breathe in and out slowly and feel the fresh air go in and out your lungs taking deep breaths, watching the ducks or the lake or even time walk on by, just relaxing. Theres no cars whizzing round creating multiple noises, which really are distracting and there is no way to become calm. For me its a place where you can just go if you feel a bit anxious although, you/I may not suffer with anxiety you can still feel anxious sometimes. You can sit there watching people play, hearing people laugh with smiles on their face. To be honest, sometimes the odd tear ngl! Mostly happy people running around playing with their friends, for me it releases any angry feelings or whatever and just goes, when you look at other people filing, it melts my heart! 
Which leads me onto my next point, on this particular day I was having a bad day, lets say. It got my thinking though looking at everyone else... You may looking at someone and you wouldn't know if they were hurting. I heard that somewhere on the online world. Its true! It got me thinking, you don't know whats happened in the person who is sitting next to you or just walked past. This just shows how you should treat everyone with kindness as you don't know whats gone on in there life, they may be hurting and you wouldn't know. Always be nice and treat people how you would want to be treated! I know any of you here wouldn't be mean as you all seem so nice. It did just get me thinking.

I hope you enjoyed this post, it was something different, did you like it?? I will see you Thursday 8:30pm British time. Also what do you think about me creating an Instagram page? 
See you soon

Zoella Beauty Review

Hey,
So I thought today I'd talk about the Zoella Beauty Range, as I've been a big fan of Zoella for a long time now and when I knew she was releasing this range I was so excited. She now has out the tutti fruity range and the summer one, which are all brilliant. I know it's a little old now and not brand new but I just love it so much. Even though I can't use one (I'll tell you in a min), but the scent is just amazing! Everything about it is just perfect, its got a really cute design and everything I'm sure you all know Zoe Sugg or known as Zoella- YouTuber and Blogger. I'm personally such a fan girl and I love her so much, she's helped me so much! And she's done such a good job on this range! I have: The Eyes Beauty Bag, Soap Opera, Body Lotion and Body Mist. So I thought I'd do a little review on it, so here we go:...




Overview
Zoe's range is all about pampering and bath care. It all has a similar floral, fruity sort of sweet scent. It is nice because it will suit most people as its not too 'a scent' (floralie, fruity or sweet) and not too strong or over-powering. It also means you can use them together while if there all different you can't really mix them and use it together as it could clash. She has created: 3 beauty/make-up/wash bags, Bath Soak, Body Lotion, Body Mist, Candle and a Fizz bar in the original set (1st) she produced. Its price is also really good for all the products and is definitely worth it, which is good for us teenagers. To me the design screams out pastel and is really cute, and attracts your eye not in a bright way but in a delicate pretty way. Its also good to see #TeamInternet come together, succeed and do well.


The Eyes Beauty Bag
The beauty bag is such a nice design and I LOVE the rose gold zip (typical Zoe) and all the colours go so well together and definitely reflects Zoe, it sort of has a pastel colour theme and polka dots :)
Also its such a good size because its not too big or too small and its perfect for packing your morning make-up face or a weekend away, its just the right size. It is also the sort of material which is wipe-able, which is handy for me, as I can get stuff over it :)


Soap Opera
Soap Opera is a Bath Soak and Shower Jel, which is nice as sometimes you don't always want a bath, so its nice you can use it as both. The Bath Soak creates lots of fluffy bubbles and if you want more bubbles, you add more product in. It also makes a good shower jel too the smell lasts quite a long time and smells beautiful! The scent also always fills up your bathroom and makes it smell soooo good! It has Vitamin E, Aloe and Shea Butter which softens the skin. Its perfect for anyone. The packaging is also really attractive of course.



Body Lotion
The Body Lotion smells amazing, of course (they all do!). However, I love Zoe to the moon and back, this Body Lotion sadly isn't very good for sensitive skin because when I used it on my body I got a massive rash down my body, which is really sad as it truly smells really good, so now I can't use it :(  Other people say its really good and the best one they've ever tried! But I can't have it, I don't know if its just me and my skin?! :( Sorry, I can't give you that much of a good opinion.



Body Mist
The bottle/design is really cute and a really nice practical size to keep in your handbag or just bring with you in a daily basis, you also get a lot money for the product. The scent last for long time, and it definitely has a strong  scent which is amazing as its only suppose to be a body mist and its not suppose to be a perfume, but its just as good! You can use it really well and the spray nozzle works well. It also contains Vitamin E which is suppose to be good for conditioning the skin.


So yes, I really recommend the Zoella Beauty, all good value for money and its just amazing..
I hope you enjoyed this little review.
I'll see you Thursday 8:30pm British Time

See ya soon,

10 Facts About Me

Hi,
I was thinking last night as I was trying to drift off to sleep, that you out there- You don't know me that well or not at all really, and I haven't even introduced myself which is very rude, I'm very sorry. I guess I just expected you to know, now thinking about it I don't know why I thought that at all! I am strange sometimes... Anyway, I thought what's a better way for you to get to know me better, than doing the 10 facts about me?! I know its normally more facts, something like 20 or even 50?! However I don't think I know that many things about me, I struggled with 10, I'm not even going to think about 50?! I'm sorry, thats just out of the question, I had a hard day at school, I don't think I can even think of 20. Maybe I'll do a part 2 sometime ;)

So here it is 10 facts about me...
1. My nickname is Mi , thats why I'm MidnightMi
2.  I love languages ALOT, basically I'm that language nerd in school, I'm perfectly fine with that though. No matter what people say, do what you love. I do French at school and I am learning Spanish at home on my own, If you know any other language apart from English, comment something in it and I'll see if I can recognise or even translate, although I'll probably end up going to google translate ngl :)
3. I was very tall compared to everyone else, however sadly everyone keeps over taking me... which is always fun... not
4. I am very hard working, I mean if you ask any of my friend they will say I don't mess about at school, I am also definitely not one of the cool ones don't worry, trust me I'm far off.
5. I love Music, and I love singing along and dancing in my own little world, I especially love at the moment Justin Beibers new album Purpose, its my life right now.
6. My favourite place is Paris, I've never actually been there however I've always loved cities and France so its perfect and I've seen loads of pictures and its perfect. I am obsessed with Paris, I just love it. Also my dad got a scholar ship and went to University in Paris!
7. I want to go to Uni, I know I'm far off Uni like really far, however its always something I've wanted to do and I know some people want to go and some people don't, personally I always have.
8.  I have thick black curly hair, its so annoying for the people who say they want thick hair, trust me you don't. Mines extra thick and I genuinely dislike it with a passion. Also curly hair is not fun either, I mean I don't think I'd mind it if it was thinner, however mines just off the scale.
9. I live in the UK and I'd love to go travelling as I love going new places
10. I love PLL (pretty little liars) I can't wait for the 12th January. Ahh its so exciting.

I hope you enjoyed this post, I thought I'd just do this post as something extra.
I'll still see you Tuesday (tomorrow) 8:30pm British Time
Tell me something about you :)

Baking Cookies

Hi,
I have always had a passion for baking... I can't say I'm good at it! But I enjoy it and thats all that matters. I have had a few burnt things and incidents but I like to put them behind me ;) If your the same- does it matter if you're not good at it?! As long as you enjoy it, thats all that matters. For me, baking is thing I do on my own as like a quiet thing on my own. Its basically a hobby, kinda an escape from life sometimes. Although, I can't say its always relaxing as if things go wrong that is very irritating or you don't have the right ingredients or if it doesn't go to plan. Trust me I know! :) Yes, things can go wrong but its so nice to experiment and plug in your headphones listen to some Justin Beiber or whatever music you listen to, and its like your in a whole world of your own. Sometimes you do find me dancing around when I'm putting all the ingredients back or something. I just find it really enjoyable.
Recently I've been trying different recipes not just the common cakes, biscuits and cupcakes, but I'll share with you some of those in a different post, but for now I thought I'd share with you the classic Gingerbread cookies/biscuits. I found this recipe through my friend as she always makes these and they always taste amazing, hers are always loads better than mine, but I have a try!
Here are the cookies/biscuits recipe... (I never know which one!) :)



Ingredients
340g Plain Flour
175g Soft Brown Sugar
115g Butter
1 egg
4tablespoons Golden Syrup
2teaspoons Ground Ginger
1teaspoon Bicarbonate Of Soda

1. Set oven to 190c and set up trays with butter or baking sheet or other
2. Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan
3. Sift in the flour. ground ginger and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl, add syrup mixture, add egg
4. Mix together, form a ball (if too dry add a bit of water)
5. Place in the fridge for 10minutes
6. Roll out dough, to about half a centremetre so very thin and cut out shapes.
7. Place biscuits onto the baking tray
8. Place in oven for 10-15 minutes. Keep checking just incase they burn.
9. Place them on a wire rack to cool.

I hope you enjoyed this post.
The biscuits actually turn out really nice.
I shall see you on Tuesday at 8:30pm British Time.
See you soon

Harry Potter Studio Tour

Hey,
So if theres one thing you should know about me is I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter, I just love watching them over and over again on a Friday night (or anytime really)  So recently I went to the Warner Bros. Studio, over the Christmas holidays, as a treat. 
It was so cool to see all the scenes and props, the whole experience was so magical, we saw most/everything from house sets to little details like outfits and picture frames, the knight bus was especially amazing, to be honest it all was!I saw Dobby, he's my favourite character. It was a bit creepy seeing Arogog (I think that's how you spell it) the massive spider on the ceiling being hung down, I did freak out a little bit, as I'm not a big fan of spiders at all. Although I was a bit sad how Quidditch wasn't real. It is true once you know the sercet about Quidditch you'll never look at it in the same way again. However I'm just going to pretend its still real, because its so magical. I was thinking as I walked around, I can't believe how long it must of taken them to film and create all the Harry Potter films, and not to talk about how much money?! It was so weird to see the masks which were made out of wax for the goblins and other characters. The Hogwarts model was amazing and they had sprinkled it with snow, because its Winter! Its well worth going if you're considering, I loved every second of it!!
I took loads of pictures and I thought I'd share them with you...

I hope you enjoyed this post!
As I promised there shall also be a post tomorrow at 8:30pm British Time
See you soon :)
