Merry Christmas!

I know what you're thinking. It's not Christmas and I haven't written anything in forever. Sorry haha honest. But writing doesn't come very easily to me sometimes so I just do this for fun. ANYWAY...How was your Christmas???  Mine was amazing, thanks for asking haha! I would share what I got but that's my next video and there cant be any spoilers ;) Also, I completly failed at Vlogmas. Like I think I recorded 4 episodes and then just kinda forgot? It's okay though there's always next year and by then I'll be better anyway! And finally, I've had this blog for a year now! Time flies I swear. I'll be a senior in high school next year, that's crazy! That's it for now though guys, I just wanted to check in and wish everyone a Merry Christmas :) Bye!, Sydney

Spirit Week

Hi everyone! My school always has a week leading up to Homecoming full of fun ideas and a pep rally. It consists of everyday being a different theme. I'm not entirely sure I'm explaining this right so I'll use a diagram to help me out :) Monday:Fictional Character Day Tuesday: Throwback Day Wednesday: Formal Uniform for mass Thursday: America day Friday: Class Colour (Juniors are Black) If I'm being honest, I'm stuck on what I'll do for Monday and Tuesday because for some reason I can't think of any characters I would be and for Tuesday, our throwback can't be anymore recent then the 90's. I was thinking maybeee I could be Violet from the Incredibles for Monday and just wear what I would wear as a child for Tuesday? Either way, I'm super excited for the pep rally and the Homecoming festival. I can't have my phone in school, but I'll try to get some nice pictures for my next blog post. They'll also be with the pictures of m...

AUTUMN

Hello everyone! I haven't seen you in a while:) So to make up for my lack of posts, I'm going to make a rather long blog post today on fall. Is it just me or is everyone more excited than usual for autumn because I know I am! Let me be basic here for a moment and talk about dented candles and such haha. I wasn't much of a candle person until recently actually but in my defense, I'm only 16! That doesn't matter though because I'm sooo excited for them this year! Okay next topic of excitement, LAYERS. The layers and accessories that come with fall are so cozy and cute! And infinity scarves- don't get me started! They are literally the perfect accessory for almost any fall/winter outfit. Also going with this fashion theme, fall makeup is soo beyond gorgeous. All the warm rich colours, nude palettes, and dark lipsticks that come with fall get me so excited! Speaking of which, I was going to make a blog about my everyday makeup routine-took the pictu...

O2L

The other day my friends and I went to see O2l and let me tell you........those boys are beautiful. I actually cried when they came out on stage! It really was one of the best days of my life. It went by so fast though; I feel like it was a dream :( Even though it wasn't very long, we were living it up in there. My voice was SHATTERED the next day haha! I honestly couldn't believe that they were just a few feet in front of us like...what?! So even though it's a blurry picture, enjoy the beauty that is O2L :) Q&A With Lia Marie Johnson!

Old Town

Image
Hey guys!      So it's been another month and I always laugh because I never think it's that long but then I'll look and uhh...yeah haha! And what's worse is I have plenty to talk about. Like this past month has been so annoying with the amount of drama. Drama is sooo unnecessary. But let's not get deep. I'll save that for another blog post or maybe even a video.      I don't want to be negative though so back to the story!      These pictures came from last month when my friend Alexandra invited Allen and I to go to Old Town with her. It was actually loads of fun! It was one of the few times I was allowed to go out with friends which I'm doing alot more often now that I'm almost 17. When I say almost I mean 5 months away haha!      Another thing! O2L!!! We're(OYL) going to see them in concert next week and literally I'm gonna scream. I can't. I CAN'T! Think about it. I'm going to see Connor Franta IN PERSON. It...

HD QUALITY! (1080!)

Hello everybody! Okay I'm actually superrr excited while writing this because I just figured out how to get my videos to upload waaaayyyy faster, and have better quality at the same time! Amazing?? I think YES! So I realize that this is normal for pretty much all YouTubers now but let me have my moment, okay? You don't understand how excited this makes me though! Like I remember when I first started YouTube a few years ago, I was super excited like... "WOW my parents are finally letting me go on YouTube! I wanna make videos!" It didn't get very far and I now use that channel as a test channel, but the drive I had when I started...it was intense. Now with this channel, it's come sooooo much further and I'm blown away by the support you guys give. It make me really happy that I can do something that I love for fun, and hopefully make someone's day a little brighter. I got that massive drive to try again when I started with Cherry Blossoms Realm- no...

Old Town Shopping

Hey everyone! Wow I didn't know the last time I was on here was Valentines day. Time files haha! To be honest though, the few months that I haven't been on here have been superrr stressful. School has been a pain in the BUTT and I'm so glad it's almost over because I'm so done. Don't take my advice kids :P So yesterday I went shopping with my friends Allen and Alexandra in Old Town. It was a lot of fun actually! The reason I sound so surprised is because I'm only 16 and my mom just started letting me go out on my own. And on my own I mean with friends haha- I don't even have money to go out on my own sooo no. I actually vlogged it if you want to check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB-I_tOHu9o&list=UU8cIn1OQSdmaWLSZzkS1Xuw Sorry about the quality, not sure what happened there but I really like the video so I don't think I'll be taking it down. Sorry, hope you still like it :) Be sure to subscribe if you're from the bl...

Happy Valentines Day!

Hey everyone! Happy valentines dayyy! How's it been so far? Do you have someone to spend it with? I know I don't haha, but it's ok! People these days are so wrapped up in if they have a boyfriend or not. Well, maybe not out in the "real world", but in high school, guys are the main topic of discussion. Me and my group of friends don't really care- even my friends that do have a boyfriend don't brag about it. But I'm not going to be one of those annoying people that hates on Valentines day. If you do have someone to enjoy it with, good for you and have fun. If not, just remember, someone out there is made for you. Just give it time and one day, you'll both find eachother :) Byeee! Love,      Sydney

Crazy!

Hi everyone! I can honestly say I didn't think it had been this long since I last posted! It's crazy how time flies by. I think it's time I updated you guys a bit. Since the last time we've met, I've been hanging out with friends a lot more, working on OYL, thinking on ways to make my main channel better, and OYL is going to see O2L! I'll give you more updated and longer stories as things work out or happen, but for now, this is just a quick little life update. Oh, and how about that Super Bowl? Yeah...not the best. Bye!,      Sydney

Hockey Tournament

Hi everyone! If you were wondering where I disappeared to, I was at a hockey tournament all week end. And just so we're clear, don't say anything if I sound weird, my head is pounding from being thrown around out there. :) It was up in York, Pennsylvania and I can honestly say I haven't had more fun on a tournament. I took a two year break from hockey and this is my first tournament back since then. Before I left, I wasn't really fond of the tournaments because I didn't talk to my team much. But ever since I've come back, I've never felt more apart of the team. Well I know this was short but I'm suppose to be taking it easy, especially since I literally had autocorrect write this for me haha! Enjoy your snow day if you got one! Bye!,      Sydney

Happy Birthday Allen!

Hi everyone! Incase you haven't seen the title yet, it's my best friends birthday! HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY ALLEN!!! Technically it's tomorrow, but I'll be at practice and won't be able to blog. I figured, why not? Just wish her a happy birthday early! It's the thought that counts, right? In other news, myself and 4 other friends opened our collab channel today, and I'm SO beyond excited! It's called OurYouTubeLife, or OYL for short. It's basically a channel that we all share and put videos up on different days. For example: I was today so my day is Monday. Here's the schedule: Monday: Me! Tuesday: Allen ( http://www.youtube.com/user/nellaninja  ) Wednesday: Erinn ( http://www.youtube.com/user/MsSeanSinger  ) Thursday: Sarah Friday: Leah ( http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwivnlxZrR06csHbk9-rHDw ) Sarah is still on the border though, so we'll see how that goes. Until next time, here's the link to OYL! http://www.youtube.com/chan...

Weekend fun

Hi everyone! I'm back as you can see, and I've learned something. It's better to write about something interesting every now and then instead of everyday. So today! It's finally the weekend after a long week of school- even with no school on Tuesday. I'm going over to Allen's to film a skit for her channel tomorrow and I'm super excited for that. Also, my friends Alexandra and Erinn started their YouTube channels as well so if you get a chance to check them out, they're in my side bar! Finally before I go, there is going to be no video this week because I'm NOT feeling well at the moment. I had to get a medicine for this thing and I'm really upset that I'm going to miss this week but seriously- as I write this, my stomach is not wanting to work. I'm really sorry! And if you know me, you'd know that I loveee to record and hate missing a week. I might make a vlog tomorrow or something because I feel terrible for not doing someth...

Ice

Hi everyone! Today my school had a 2 p.m. assembly to talk about something important. At the end of this announcement, our principal went on to say that we have no school tomorrow. Picture this- my school gets out at 2:40, and we had just been sitting there bored for 40 minutes falling asleep. So when she announced no school- and I'm not exaggerating when I say this-, almost EVERYONE jumped out of their seats, and if they didn't jump, they sure were cheering! This isn't anything big, just a quick update on what happened because I thought it was pretty funny to see. Hope you enjoyed, and I'll talk to you all later! Bye!,      Sydney

School

Hi everyone! School starts again on Monday... fantastic. I'm just trying to remember the fact that I said 2014 would be a good year. And like I said in the last one, I won't be able to post as much. On a lighter note, I hit 200 subscribers on my channel! If you haven't seen it yet- here you go: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8cIn1OQSdmaWLSZzkS1Xuw/featured Also, I don't know if she'll ever see this, but if she does it's because of her. Zoella has really inspired me to do my best and not to care what other people think. She even inspired me to start this blog! In my newest video "13 Personal Questions", I talked briefly about just saying yes. That's why I brought Zoella up. She has a video talking about this and it honestly helped me. I'm kinda shy, but YouTube has helped me a little bit and so has this video. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG-WbtoAf2k Her name isn't Zoella by the way- it's Zoe. She goe...

Snow

Hi everyone! Depending on where you live, it's snowing! I was with my mom driving to my hockey practice at the time when it started, and when it finished- it was coming down pretty heavy. It looked like a movie though when we were driving back. It was so pretty! So you're going to have to forgive me, but now that the holiday season is over (almost), there won't be as much to write about. I'll still post a lot, but I won't be posting as often. It's more for you guys than for me. I don't want you to be bored! Let me know if you're ok with this. Bye!,      Sydney

New Year

Hi everyone! Welcome to the new year! I hope you had a great time last night- not doing anything too crazy! What did I do you ask? Oh, nothing too weird. Just hung out at my grandparents with my brother and cousins. I can't remember if I wrote that in the last one or not so if I did, sorry about that! I was also going to go to a friends house today, but I've been out of the house more that I've been in it this week. Honestly though, it's fun! Feeling all grown up and stuff. I noticed that I really haven't experienced the "real world" though. There's so much to learn! I'm excited though. Back on the topic of 2014, already things have been great, and the first day isn't even over! So I going to try to keep this momentum going and have an awesome year! I'll see you guys later! Bye!,      Sydney
