Painting nails - easier said than done

The other day (before Christmas) I decided would be the day I finally painted my nails. I had been kind of putting it off, or the days I had planned on doing it, forget. I have wanted to paint them because I felt as if having christmassy nails would make me feel more christmassy.

I always struggle to paint my nails because I am very impatient. I can't wait for them to dry. I am also terrible at painting, I go way over my nails and all around them. Also for me once I paint them I am very cautious and hardly do anything in fear that I will chip them.

Whenever I paint my nails I always get worried because if I fail while painting with my right hand (my writing one) then imagine how bad it will be when I paint with my left.

The other day when I painted them I had luster shine's lava (number 006). I really like this colour because it is sparkly and changes colour depending on the way the light hits it.

My Christmas day

I thought that I would tell you what Christmas is like in my family.  I know people celebrate in different ways so I thought telling how I celebrate would be nice.

I started by going to midnight mass. It was only my sister dad and I but we celebrated and worshipped the Lord. I then went to bed.

I woke up at 7 30 so that my brother wouldn't wake me up. We were only aloud into the lounge at 7 30 and everyone has to go in.

When we are in the lounge we open up our stockings and the presents that lay with them. In my stocking I had chocolate coins, sunblock, insect repellent, mustache erasers with pencils, girl online and an R5 pick necklace. I had two bigger presents that were under my stocking.  I had a new overnight bag as my last one got destroyed and the R5 smile sweater.

We then got the presents from under the tree out. I had one and it was from my godmother.  She had sent me a build an angel thing and hersheys kisses.

We then had about an hour to eat and get dressed for church. We ate and left.

At church we had a children's service and it was over quickly. We went home and chilled. We had ages until we were leaving. I read a lot of girl online.  We ate some lunch and packed overnight bags. At 1:30 we visited my god parents who are good family friends (not the one who had sent a gift earlier). We went and talked to them for a bit.

We then left and went to my grandparents. When we got there we opened up more presents. I got a selfie stick, pajamas, koala earings, a koala picture, a really nice green bag, a face mask, eyeshadow and mascara.

We then just sat around hanging out. We ate our dinner and then I finished my book (girl online) and went to sleep.

Helping people

Helping people is not my best quality but today I decided to go help my mother clean up her class room.

I don't like little kids. They do annoying stuff and then you can't be mad at them because they are younger than you. 

I also felt really awkward sitting in the staff room because I didn't know anyone.  I was jut sitting there being awkward.

This is the last time I help someone in a class room.

The beach

I had the best day today.  I met up with my friends and we went to the beach.

Today was a really nice day and we all had fun goofing off together. We were at the beach for about 3 hours but we all enjoyed every second of it. I may have gotten splashed and wet but I enjoyed the fun I had with my friends. We all took lots of photos embracing our inner hipster.

It was fun and whenever you are with your friends you should enjoy yourself.  It is one of my goals to hang out with my friends more often.

The Christmas parade

I had so much fun yesterday.  The day of the Christmas parade.  Now let me go into some detail.

The morning started for me at about 10:30 when I left to go to the dance studio. The dance studio is run by Deirdre Tarrant, Bret McKenzie from flight of the concords mum. She is really nice but this isn't about her. When I arrived Zach, one of my besties, was already there with his face painted and in costume.  I put my costume on and took my glasses off. Me and one of the other girls, who had arrived at the same time as me, went to make some of the others come in.  We then went and cued for makeup/face paint. 

In the cue for face paint we ended up waiting for a long long time.  Because we were on the last buses to leave we had to keep letting others go in front so they could have there face painted in time. We keep goofing off and having fun. We also got to look at all the costumes. There were so many cute little kids (mainly girls), there were fairys, green sparkly things, blue sparkly things and so much more. They were all so cute and had really nice face paint. 

When it was finally time to get our faces painted we started with getting the base done with one person and the next person did the rest. I was happy because I got so much glitter.

We loaded the bus and went to the parade line up. We met 3 other clowns there and got the big line of balloons. The balloons only needed 4 people to carry them.  The 3 clowns who we met there were helping blow up the balloons (there balloons for most people) knew what they were doing and needed one more person and that was me.

We got the balloons out the window and started to walk. We walked the whole parade route with no problems. We got to the end and started handing out balloons.  We then had to go get changed. I got changed and my dad came to pick me up. 

I went home and chilled for a bit.  I then went to nine lessons in carols. With my face paint still on. I got weird looks from people but I'm used to it.

When the day came to an end I didn't want to take the face paint off because of all the memories that I had with it but I still enjoyed myself and want to do it again.

Christmas

I know I said I would try post more often but when I dont have wifi at home it is hard. I am currently sitting in the library waiting for my friend to get picked up in like 3 quarters of an hour before I catch a bus and go to my costume fitting.

I am going to be in the Christmas parade.  Me and 3 of my friends (and some other people) are going to be dancing around the street dressed as clowns. Im really excited about it and need to think of other ways to get me in the Christmas spirit. I do think though that the Christmas parade is a great way to start!
