Valentines Day Thoughts - Saturdays with Payton

Hey!

It's Payton here, ready to share some love with you on Valentines Day! I was having a deep thinking moment about Valentines Day before writing this post and I would like to share my thoughts with you, if that's okay.

Valentines Day is usually "advertised" for none of a better word for couples, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wifes etc, and describe it as spending the day with someone that you care and love about. So I thought why is it advertised as being for people in relationships but not for everyone. I mean obviously yes you would want to share the day with your boyfriend, girlfriend etc but wouldn't you also want to spend the day with your mum, dad, sister, brother, friends and other family members and people who you care about who you also have a relationship with, plus the day is described as being with someone who you love and care about.

Sorry rant over, now on with the rest of the post!

So I am going to keep in the theme of Valentines Day and I will be doing a Valentines Day tag for you all, so let's get started!

1. What is your favorite Valentines Day treat? 

Oooo, something tasty to eat like chocolate! 

2. Sweethearts or chocolate covered strawberries?

Definitely chocolate covered strawberries ftw!

3. What was your favorite Valentines day memory?

I don't have a special memory, it's really just a normal day for me spending it with my family, as sadly I do not have a boyfriend to spend it with, but that's okay at least I'm spending it with people I love!

4. What movie would you rather watch on Valentine's Day: Pretty Woman or You've Got Mail?

I actually haven't seen either Pretty Woman or You've Got Mail........Lemme google something quickly....... okay so from their plot lines I would rather watch You've Got Mail.

5. What celeb would you not mind having as your Valentine?

Ooooo, this question is a tough one, I would not mind having quite a few different celebrities as my valentine although I think that I have now made up my mind.

I would definitely not mind having Chris Hemsworth as my Valentine or Taylor Glockner or Harley Bonner.

 

6. What would you do on your perfect Valentine's date?

I haven't really thought of this to be honest with you, I think that it depends, on one hand I would love to go for a meal and to the cinema, but I think that everyone does that, but really I would love to do something that we would both enjoy together.

7. Red or pink lips on Valentines Day?

I do love red lips but I do not think that I can pull it off, but I am trying different combinations and colors but until I find the right one I will have to say pink lips.

8. What is your ideal Valentine's Day date outfit?

This would depend on what we are doing that day, I would definitely try and wear something cute no matter what, if it was a meal out then I would rock the dress and heels but if it was something else then I may wear something more casual, but I am usually indecisive with what I wear so it would be something I pull together last minute!

9. Homemade or store-bought gifts?

I love both, but I do think that homemade gifts are cute and more personal and memorable.

10. Would you wear your hair up or hair down for a date night? 

I would wear my hair down and it would probably be curled. I just hate wearing my hair up unless it is perfect.

So that is it for my Valentines Day post, I hope that you enjoyed it and I hope that you have had an awesome Valentines Day! 'Love is just love, it can never be explained'

See you next week!

Heya guys!

Well, first things first, where has this last week gone?! Honestly, it feels like it was only yesterday I was writing a blog post for you guys. This week has gone pretty quick, with starting school back on a full timetable, catching up with old friends etc. So it's safe to say it's been a prettyhectic but okay week for me. 

Today I thought I would just (try) to inspire some of you. I'm not the most inspirational of people, and sometimes I don't really know what to say in situations to help people, but I like to try.

I'm the sort of person that loves quotes of all kinds. I swear and live by quotes, whether it's to remind me to be happy and love myself, guide me in tough situations (personally or for helping others) or just because I find them so accurate and true. Like Augustus Waters' Mum (from the fault in our stars) calls them, "encouragements".  I feel like there are some quotes that do give me a little bit of encouragement when I'm having a bad day. So I thought I'd share with you my 5 top quotes to brighten your day!

1. Nothing is impossible, even the word it's self says "I'm possible" ~Audrey Hepburn

2. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean your going to fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in your self, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie. ~Marilyn Monroe 

3. Success usually comes to those who are to busy to be looking for it. ~Henry David Thoreau

4. For what it's worth: it's never too late, or in my case, too early to be whoever you want. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same,there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope that you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life your proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. ~unknown 

5. Beauty is what you feel about yourself, not about what you see in the mirror. ~unknown 

Well, I could go on forever, but I think these are definitely some of my favourites, even though there are plenty more I have stored. But that's all for this week, and remember -smile, because happiness looks gorgeous on you!

Love, Maya♡
