12 Things I've Learnt About Getting A Part-Time Job

Guess who's back? Back Again, Liyah's Back Tell A Friend (actually don't because I'll probably disappear for another 3 months) Sorry about that, A-Levels and mocks and literally just taking ALL of my attention but I broke up for summer holiday today! Woop. (To be honest, I'm not happy about it at all because school&work are like the only reason I go outside, lol laziness, so now I wont see my friends for like 2 months unless I actively make plans. Will I? Probably not) But yeah, I think I mentioned this in my last depress-fest of a post that I indeed do have a part-time job, I just past the three month mark actually and with that, I have learnt quite a few things. Things I feel a need to tell! So I hope you enjoy this post and if you're considering on getting a part-time job I say go for it! It gives you experience and you get to meet more people, whilst making money at the same time. However only do it if you can balan...

I am Trapped

My unintentional three-month hiatus is over. If you thought I forgot bout you, think again. Let me just re-express that this hiatus was never planned it kind of just happened, you probably think I’m lying and rightly so, I have had many opportunities to post something but instead I neglected my blog completely. Apologises. But it was a mixture of laziness and complete writers block but since I have been gone so long I do have some pretty cool updates. #1. I got a job, finally. Not the job I intended to get because I had other places in mind but I’m still grateful. I won’t reveal it on here just because, but it is a very popular, very cheap, very big retail store in England and America (I think) #2. I’m still 16. But I won’t be in a month’s time. I plan on getting a rainbow cake. (May 31 st don’t forget guys ;) #3. My Instagram plan failed in a horrific mess. I planned on having a cute page filled with pictures that were posted regularly but that plan lit...

RIP My Blog (Crucial Advice For Bloggers)

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 ...

What I Got For Christmas+ My Plans For 2017

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...

Christmas Book Recommendations

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 GOT AN INSTAGRAM

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/

Halloween Tag w/ Pastel Skies

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...
