Liyahs World

So... As you can see, my blog has changed, again. It was formerly "The Terrible Tales of An Awkward Teen" but now it has changed to "Liyah's World" The reason behind this is, the other day I noticed on my site instead of the banner and the welcome picture and my button showing up etc. there was a white exclamation mark in a grey box. I was really puzzled by this and tried to look up ways to fix it and I found a blogger who ran across the same problem. Pretty much the only way to fix it was to remove the pictures causing error and replace it. I was really heartbroken by this because I had someone design my blog for me and I didn't really have much knowledge of how to go about changing my blog title and such so I used picmonkey since it was the only thing I could think of. I don't think it turned out too bad but I will do more to completely remove all the errors, this includes making a whole new button. I tried to contact the designer ...

HELLO 2017 Everyone seems to be happy that its over but why? I never saw a new year as anything else other than just a new year. Sure 2016 was kinda sucky but it being over doesn't mean anything. Its not like all the problems and the celebrity deaths have floated away. To be honest I just see a new year as a constant reminder that we're ageing another year and getting older and closer to death. Woah that got dark fast.. ANYWAYS I didn't come on here to be a downer, happy new year! Christmas this year for me was definitely better than last years, I tried to be more festive and smile more since I'm normally a Grinch during the festive season and it turned out okay! I never really want a lot of gifts, I normally just ask for one from both parents and they were both money. The money I got for my mum I used for shopping, came up to a total of £130 and I got £120 from my dad and £20 from my aunt. My...

Hey! So if you follow me on Instagram (which you totally should btw, its liyah_ashley) you would've seen that I posted a picture of two books, calling them my "Winter reads" They were called: "Whiskey, Words, and A Shovel" by R.H. Sin "Born to Love, Cursed to Feel" by Samantha King Currently I'm half way through both books and I love them so much! They're poems and relate to so many situations such as "singleism" and "unrequited love" M Y L I F E But also self-empowerment and self love, things like that. I've bookmarked so many poems in both books because I love them THAT much At first I was going to buy "Milk and Honey" by Rupi Kaur but then I saw the poems from WWS and Born to love, Cursed to feel and I fell completely in love. Just for a little preview I picked a poem from both books so you guys can see what they're like. A page from Whiskey, Words, and A Shovel      ...

I feel like you guys should know this. So After persuasion from my friends I decided to get Instagram or "innygram" as I call it and so far I really like it! I'm trying to make it look super aesthetic like and "attempt" to look like a model with a legit photographer and so far that's going well-ish. Since you guys don't know what I look like, you now have the chance since my Instagram is 95% me, so if you would like to follow me and see what I well and truly do look like. Feel free :) instagram.com/liyah_ashley/

Hey! So recently I got contacted by Pastel Skies asking if I wanted to do a fun Halloween inspired tag and of course I said yes! She found some fun questions we could both do and at the end I'll link to her blog so you can check out the answers to her questions :) I love Halloween, sadly I don't really celebrate because my neighbourhood isn't the "safest" and knowing me I'd probably fight the neighbours for not giving me any candy but that doesn't mean I don't like seeing pictures of people celebrating online! Although seeing everyone lose their heads over Starbucks's Pumpkin spice latte's coming back out is quite irritating but this post isn't suppose to be a rant so lets get onto the questions. ... 1. What is your favo u rite  Halloween movie ? Addams Family Values, definitely. Always makes me laugh, I could literally watch it back to back. Fun fact: my favourite character is of course Wednesday Addams and as m...

I'm back! Wow its been about three months hasn't it but blame college! I started college back in September and the essays and constant homework are literally KILLING ME. Honestly the only perks I can think of from being in college are the free periods and the student discounts. Making friends has been relatively easy (thank you extrovertism) and I think I have consumed about 60 slices of pizza in the two month. I'm not even joking. Moving on, I had an idea to make a tag called the "What Being A Blogger Means To Me" Tag but then I remembered, what if I didn't create the idea? so I searched the blogosphere and I didn't find anything so I'm guessing its not a tag made by anyone else? I don't know though so if I did create this tag, yay. If I didn't then all credit to the person who did. I came up with these 9 questions and I'm going to try and answer them to the best of my ability, so here we go! When did you start blogging?...

Is this too revealing? Eh I don't care. What inspired me to make this post? Absolutely nothing. The idea just came to me after reading a chapter of Percy Jackson, not sure why though since the book has nothing to do with periods. But anyways, currently I'm up, typing this post at 2am. That's real dedication my friends. My first period wasn't super terrifying like I'm not going to be clickbaity and put "MY 1ST PERIOD HORROR!!!11" as my title but it was a pretty shocking experience. so.much.blood   I was 14 years old so this only happened 2 years ago and it was September 20th. Prior to this I was super annoyed that pretty much all of my friends had gotten their period and I still hadn't, to the point I faked it and said "I was on my period" to my friends when I was in agitated moods. I didn't feel like a woman just because I wasn't menstruating yet but when it came it completely caught me off guard. It...
