GIVEAWAY UPDATE!

Hey beauties!

So here's the deal. 

My giveaway way meant to finish May 6th. I then decided to extend it by a month as we are currently in the process of moving, but upon some thinking, I have decided to end it tomorrow as I really don't want it to get forgotten about during the moving chaos. 

The give away post is HERE.

Please make sure you read all of the rules for entering and good luck!

I will contact the winner tomorrow evening at 7pm. 

Hope you all don't mind this kerfuffle!

250 FOLLOWER GIVEAWAY! 250 | comp | followers | giveaway | thank you | whenflowersfall

I cannot tell you how long I've been collecting some of these bits and bobs!

I'm so grateful of every single one of you and I really wanted to do this as a little thank you for sticking by me and the blog. 

I didn't want to make this a singular item give away, so I figured I'd get some sample size products, a few bits that I personally love myself, and there is also some goodies from the Leeds Blogger Meetup I went to last year. These items are all things I have tried and loved myself, and I thought you guys might like to try them too. 

I've included the MakeBelieve tan because I was lucky enough to become a VIPmakebeliever last year and I fell in love with the brand.

MakeBelieve Self Tan Lotion Zone 3

Good Days and Bad Days.... anxiety | attacks | depression | followers | jobs | panic | panic attacks | personal | thank you | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | work

Hi Lovelies,
  So this is rather a personal post today, usually I would post my Friday Fit Day, but due to our scales being out of batteries and me knowing full well I have not lost a single thing this week, I decided against it.
  As most of you will already know, I went to a job interview on Monday and although I felt it went incredibly well, I'm now feeling my anxiety playing hell with the thoughts of 'what if I actually get this job?' The interview itself was a huge challenge for me. Sunday evening was a roller-coaster of emotions and I very nearly sacked it in there and then, but I pushed myself and got myself through it, which if I'm entirely honest, I wouldn't have been able to do two months ago. The panic attacks would have made my mind up for me, but this week I managed to control them. Unfortunately, since Wednesday I've been feeling like I've back tracked to two months ago. I am proud of myself for getting through the interview, but now I'm stressing about the actual doing the job bit, and I don't even know if I've got it yet. I know it sounds awful and I feel sick saying it, but my mind just tells me that I don't even want to work. The pressure that I feel to do well in everything is too much, and although Liam says he really wouldn't mind if I felt more comfortable not working for a little while longer, I know we struggle a lot for money and could really do with the added income.
   As the title of this posts suggests, I really do have good days and bad days, Monday I was on cloud nine, happy and feeling like my life was finally getting past my panic attacks and depression, yesterday though, I woke up at nine and lay in bed all day! Literally like a little hermit with no energy and no motivation, I just lay there watching old pretty little liars episodes and avoiding phone calls and text messages as much as I could.
   I really want to get past this, so as hard as it is, I'm going to keep fighting it. This may mean a few changes in the way I blog, but I promise I would give up on it. Blogging is the one thing that takes me away from everything and I honestly wish I had started it sooner.
   I know I've rambled a lot about a whole load of nothing in this post, but I really want to thank everyone who follows me, whether it be on here, twitter, youtube or facebook. I really appreciate every one of you guys and you make doing what I love so much easier. You also help cheer me up on those not so good days. So thank you so so much! Also if any of you ever want to shoot me an email or tweet, please do so, even if it's just to say hi. It's those little smiles that make days better. :)

It's Tuesday again!! cold | cosmetics | england | english weather | filming | followers | freezing | ill | make up | make-up | sick day | start the day with sam | videos | weather | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | youtube

Hi Lovelies!

      So it's week three for my new Youtube feature and I'm really enjoying doing it. It usually gets to Monday evening and then I remember, "Oh it's Tuesday tomorrow! I have to film in the morning!"

      For the past couple of days I've been feeling a little under the weather, just getting a general sicky feeling in my stomach and being colder than I've ever been before. Even as I'm sitting typing up this post I have my heating on full blast (it's making no difference at all), 2 jumpers, slippers and a blanket over me. Oh, and a hat and gloves, haha, I must look like a real doofus sitting in my own living room wrapped up like I'm in the arctic! Usually I'm the kind of person who hates it when people moan about the cold, I usually like the winter, but for some reason this year that moaning person is me!! Roll on the summer, or at least temperatures higher than -2.

     The only up side to the freezing cold is that all I want to do is sit wrapped up warm, so the housework is getting left until I've thawed out and I'm getting on and actually writing some posts up! All weekend I've been telling myself to do it, and then I go and look for sales online, even though I have no money to spend right now. I can sit and window shop online for hours, anyone else like that or is it just me? 

     Anyway, I've rambled and moaned alot, so I'm going off now to do the actual things I have planned and I'm going to leave you with a rather short edition of 'Start The Day With Sam.' Enjoy!

Oh! And a big massive HI and thanks for following to the few new followers I have gained this week!!

Your Opinions Count. channel | followers | help | layout | new layout | opinion | viewers | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | youtube

Hey Lovelies,
    So I've woken up this morning to find youtube has a brand new layout! I love the homepage, but I'm unsure whether to change my channel layout to the new one too. The new channel seems to lack a few things, it shows how many subscribers the channel has, although you can't browse through those subscribers. Also to watch a video, it redirects you to a normal youtube page, instead of being able to watch it on the channel page.

Let me know what you think guys! I'm open for the idea of change and would much prefer to use the layout my viewers enjoy more.
