Your Official Chrismas Present List 2010

Bel here, with your official Christmas pressie list sorted! In this post, I've written some very affordable options for main people you would buy for. I reccommend you start your Christmas shopping now because if you leave it to the last minute it can get really hectic! I have also provided some places where you can buy great gifts so you can browse those too! Hope this list helps!

What to buy for...

Your mum

• A beauty hamper - get a nice basket and ribbon and fill it with things like bath salt, bubble bath, body lotion, shampoo, nice soap, incense. Your mum will love these sorts of things and will enjoy pampering herself. The Body Shop has some wonderful things. If you haven't got any money to spend than I suggest making your own treatments for her and pampering her for a day as your gift. Go to http://www.spaindex.com/HomeSpa/HomeSpa.htm for great recipes and ideas.


• Something for the home - make sure you know what kind of style your mum likes and buy her a nice ornament or just like a useful thing for her such as: large tote bag, beach/home towel, pretty containers for kitchen and bathroom. Villa and Hut has lovely things although they can be quite pricey. Bed Bath'n Table is another lovely shop where you are guaranteed to find exactly what you want.

Your Dad

• A book about a subject that interests him (popular ones include cars, history, planes, food). Try Dymocks, Borders or Angus and Robertson. Also try Amazon - you'll probably find something cheaper.


• A gift voucher to a favoured shop (the amount of money depends on your current budget). Perhaps your dad loves to shop at Dick Smith or maybe Bunnings?

That person that is just so hard to buy for! (They like have EVERYTHING already!)

• An awesome gadget or 'cool thing' - one of my friends has like everything and I got him this awesome star lamp and pin art and he loved it! Other ideas are Newtons Cradle, electric shock machine, plasma lamp, talking robot. These things are just SO fun! Head to Autralian Geographic and you're bound to find something or go to ozgadgets.com.au.


• A fiction novel in a genre they like - if you know what they like you can't go wrong!

Here are some 'extras' you may like to include in your gift: lollies (The British Lolly Shop is good), cool pics/postcards, cute pieces of fabric or mini notebooks. They give the present a 'complete' feeling!

christmas...

The first day of the Christmas month is tomorrow.
Sure a month away, but trust me all the anticipation makes it fly past!


Getting presents and giving pressies is all part of the fun,
Kris Kringle and decorating the tree.
Christmas eve parties with the whole family (mine of 54).
beautiful Christmas day lunches with turkey or chicken and roast veggies.
I have never experience a Christmas lunch quite like this though (mine is with meat, BBQ, salad and ethnic food)


You know how your birthday is only one day out of the whole year and when its over it feels  so short and worthless, well even though Christmas is only one day it goes on forever. and on boxing day when i go away for holidays it still seems like Christmas, so excited and happy.


You leave the food out for Santa and his reindeer, somehow last year Santa left me a present but he didn't eat his food.
HOW SUSPICIOUS. 


Your parents whispering about what they bought you, hiding your presents and you cant help but snoop.
This year i am not snooping, it ruins the surprise.


You put up the Christmas tree (fresh of course) and you add the most delicate beautiful decorations, it is so pretty and it glistens with the fairy lights.
The family hangs the fairy lights off the balcony to light up the night sky.
Some streets near where i live have so many lights and decorations and it looks so tacky but in a way sends a shiver down your spine because it makes you happy to see people so happy. they sit out side drinking and talking and smiling with their families and it makes you realise that Christmas is just around the corner.

Christmas is full of cheer,
but it only comes one time a year.
getting presents makes you smile,
you get enough to run a mile.
the happy families make you happy
but you think of the families that cant even afford a nappy
dont be like the Grinch
or someone will give you a pinch.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
P.S over the next month both bel and I will be doing mostly christmas themed posts
xoxo

Following on from Bella's post...

Yes, the internet can be a very dangerous place when 'misused'. Here is a true story that I have personally been told at a cyber safety workshop...

There was a young woman (about 19 years old) who had a passion for animals. She put that she loved animals on her facebook page. She got a message from a man saying that he worked at the RSPCA and was keen to meet her and offer her a job at the organisation. He asked her to meet him at night at a particular location. This young woman was foolish enough to believe the man, and went (alone). A week later, news came that the woman had been murdered by two men. This story is an extreme case but could happen. If someone ever asks you to meet them, dont. Tell someone and discuss it. If you decide to go, only go in the daytime where there are people around and make sure you are with at least two older people. Don't approach any suspicious looking people. Leave immediately if you feel uncomfortable. Don't enter any enclosed places with someone you don't know - e.g. bathroom. Be smart - make responsible decisions and always ask yourself: Should I really do this? If in doubt, don't do it at all!

STAY CYBER SAFE!

ten things i hate about facebook...

1.    You have no privacy; all your friends can see your photos and pass them on to their friends and so forth. People can read every post that you have made, your family can see what you have been up to and gossip can start to be spread around.

2.    People can say nasty things about you. Although you can stop them on your facebook, you can’t stop them from saying things to other people about you.

3.    By providing too much information such as photos, date of birth, address, phone number; people can stalk you. In the most serious cases this has lead to molestation, stalking, rape or murder.

4.    People can easily access you details, even credit card details and your address. They can also trace where about you have been using facebook, and use this information to contact you.

5.    People do get cyber bullied. It is not necessary and as a result it has been documented many times that people commit suicide or contemplating committing suicide.

6.    You can’t take back something you have said on facebook. Once you click send it’s available for all to read. It is like a trace leading back to you. This is how police track down cyber bullies.

7.    Not many people know how to use facebook the right way. They don’t know how to be private, they use it to bully, show off their status and they don’t know how to ignore or block people. They also are not aware of the risks and dangers of having facebook.

8.    Facebook is very easily hackable. When people hack it they can pretend to be you and spread rumours and false information around and you can be blamed. You can also lose a lot of friends.

9.    Your friends and family members will be able to snoop around and know what is happening in your life at all times. I’m sure you really want them seeing what you got up to with that guy on the weekend.

10.  You will waste many hours because Facebook is addictive for most people. There is a case of man had an online relationship on facebook and he got so addicted to messaging a girl that all he would think about until he got home was messaging her. She didn’t reply for a few days and the man couldn’t handle it anymore so he shot himself. This is a true story.

These are the ten things I hate about facebook. The point of me outlining these risks isn’t to make everyone delete their facebook but to make everyone more aware of the risks of having facebook. it is important that people are informed, and by being informed you can change the way people use facebook.

I would like to share some scenarios

Users of Facebook have been warned they are putting themselves at risk of identity fraud by posting even a handful of their details online. According to the BBC's consumer rights television program Watchdog, fraudsters can open bank accounts and receive credit cards armed simply with the information found on a user's Facebook page.

This is a true story that happened to a lady;

A while back, she received a friend request from a guy who she had been acquainted with in high school. They weren't in the same circle of friends back then, but shared a few classes and passing conversations together over the years. She decided to add him and started to reminisce about "the good old days" and catch up.

Soon enough they found themselves messaging each other just about every day and he soon asked her out on a date. She enjoyed our conversations together and thought that they might actually hit it off. Unfortunately, the in-person rendezvous was a complete disaster.

Afterward, she decided to back off and not speak to him for a while. She hoped that he would get the hint that she wasn't really interested in continuing the chats. She kept bumping into him around town. He seemed to catch her at random locations like the grocery store or the gym. Strangely, they had never run into each other like that before they started speaking online. The lady realized that these were no accidental meetings. Every time he ran into her, she had just mentioned going to that place on my Facebook status.
He had been tracking her via the internet for over a month after that date.

Lesson learned: watch what you say on social networking sites, because you have no idea who may be reading. 

BE CAREFUL ON FACEBOOK.

Sewing

Sewing can be great. Whether it is for school, Fashion design or recreation it is a great way to get your mind working but also gives you great sense of joy once you have completed a task.
You dont necessarily need a sewing machine to sew. By hand is great for small projects or little outfits for dolls, however i wouldn't try making a wedding dress by hand sewing.


I bet your thinking, sewing machines are costly. They are, but really you are paying for quality.
I noticed a very cute small sewing machine for $30. It was at sports-girl. Really, it may not be the best quality, but for that cheap you cant go wrong.


Sewing projects (small by hand)-


- dresses or clothes for teddy bears or dolls
- sewing small buttons on items for extra decoration
- make a small toy

$30.00 from sportsgirl

- mend torn clothes or re-sew buttons
- add extra details to things


Sewing projects (machine)-


- making clothes
- make toys or dolls for little children
- making bags
- making pillow cases
- make great gifts for Xmas

You can take sewing classes, i have taken one and i found it one of the best things i ever did. i did it in the holidays over three days for a few hours. it was so fun and i learnt so many things i would of never been able to do.


happy sewing

Going to the beach

Hi everyone, today's topic is all about making the most of a visit to the beach. Here are my awesome tips for making something as simple as going to the beach the time of your life!

• Take your family and/or friends with you. Nothing is more fun than spending a fun day with the ones you care about the most!



• Bring a ball with you to play soccer, beach volleyball (a net is not necessary) and any other fun ball games you can think of.



• Try to avoid the beach between 10am and 3pm because thats when the sun is most damaging! Dont forget your SPF 30+ suncream (and reapply when needed!)



• Bring a camera and take photos of yourselves, and the beautiful views of the ocean



• Bring along your snorkelling mask, flippers, boogie/surf board and whatever else you think will make your visit more fun


• Do fun things in the water like go as far as you can until you can't stand, jump the waves, have a water splashing fight or play tag in the water! (But dont do anything dangerous like swim out of the flagged area)


• Pack a picnic to take with you


• Bring a book with you and chill out!


• The obvious must be stated: always wear a hat and sunnies

ENJOY!!!!!!!

Hobbies

Everyone should have something that they love doing, or are passionate about. And now is a great time to start thinking about that, because the summer holidays are a great time to take up something new/exploring your passions and hobbies. Maybe you'd be great at playing a musical instrument. This is a great thing to do - I believe everyone should have something that they like doing that is associated with music. Perhaps you'd like to write songs (see my song-writing post before for tips). Whatever it is you think you'd like to do, make sure you try it! You never know - it could be your calling in life! If you are creative, you could try something crafty these holidays (knitting clothes make great pressies for x-mas). Some more crafty examples you might be interested in are origami, collage, paper mache, simply drawing and sketching, or painting. If you see yourself to have a creative mind, but not in a crafty way, then creative writing is a really fun thing to do with your imagination. Searching 'creative writing exercises' for stuff you can do at home, or 'creative writing classes' for things you might like to do seriously - with a teacher, into Google for ideas. If you love performing, why not take an acting class (these can be expensive), or for no price, get together with your friends and make a movie? All these things are great fun.

And finally, if you're into sport, join a sporting group/team these holis!

Enjoy!

Paradise

You're standing on the shore, looking out at the vast blue ocean. You don't know where it could take you - but you're eager to meet the surprises the sea has to offer. You climb into your sailboat, ready to find out...

The waves carry you out further, and further. You move slowly with the gentle breeze that lifts your hair.You're not scared - they're's no fear in the air. You don't know where you are going, but you don't mind. The sea protects you - the mist envelops you. With every minute, you go out even further- sometimes to the side, but mostly forward. You breathe in deeply, inhaling the salty air smell and the summery sensation that tingles all over your body. You lie down. You just feel so good. Nothing could be better than this very moment - this moment of relaxation and contentment.

A few minutes later, you decide to stop for a while. Lucky you brought your snorkelling mask and flippers. Without any hesitation at all, you dive gracefully into the water and enter the fishes' realm. It is so beautiful you lose your breath for a second. The colours, amazement of all the fishes swimming so swiftly, showing every colour you could possibly think of. Some of the fishes swim right up to your face and greet you. You get as close as you can to them and imagine, just imagine what it must be like to live in their world.

A while later you come out of the water - and get back into your boat. You don't need a towel as the bright sun warms you. You lie back down and enjoy this very moment - and the feelings of freedom and awe. This is your place. You think to yourself: 'Life is so beautiful'.

And then you close your eyes.

Summer,
The absolute best time of the year. Warm weather, Christmas, my birthday.
The humid air, the beach, friends, and School Holidays whats not to love


These are my fool proof tips on how to enjoy summer this year:


1. Invite friends round to your pool or the beach. It is way more fun when you go with friends
2. Take an iPod dock to the beach, with some summer songs to get you in the mood for a great day
3. WEAR SUNBLOCK. sunburn hurts
4. Take balls, and games to the beach or pool. Play while listening to music cranked up loud.
5. Have a summer romance. Maybe even a kiss
6. Go to street fairs and music festivals. They are so fun
7. Try and go away on holiday or have a change of scenery.
8. Have loads of sleep overs in the holidays. You will be so tired but wont care.
9. Go shopping with all your friends, and try on loads of clothes. BUY BUY BUY
10. Get a summer job or run errands so that you can afford to buy stuff for summer


Extra tip: At the beach swim between the flags and dont be stupid near water.

Beach Games

Summer Romance

Summer...

Summer,
It is such a wonderful season. Makes you happy, cheerful and really appreciate life.
The heat of summer in the early mornings begins, but you dont mind because you know what a warm, sunny and happy day it will be. On the weekends you are so hot you go to the beach or pool and just lie in the water just thinking how amazing water is and how beautiful it looks. It is the best thing as it is so cool and refreshing. You hop out of the water and you dont even need a towel thats how quickly you will dry. Lying in the sand you soak up the sun like a lizard resting on a warm rock. You muck around with your friends, laughing and smiling.


The summer street festivals begin. They have such a wonderful, indescribable feeling. like the randoms in the public are so happy and friendly they make you smile. You enjoy music, buy some clothes and food and enjoy the muggy night air and dont leave for hours.


You walk the lit up streets just smiling and trying to find your way back home, and then you hop into bed, cant even sleep because it is so hot.


The day starts all over again and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Bucket List

Hey hey, today I would like to tell you about the wonders of writing a bucket list. (In case you did not know, a bucket list is a list of awesome, fun, crazy and adventurous things you hope to do before you die). Basically what you do is get some paper and write your list! Maybe some things you might like to include are: write a song, see the Eiffel Tower, learn another language, or make a significant difference to someone's life). It really is up to you. Sit down with your besties, get out the paper and write! Draw a tick-box next to each thing and tick them off as you complete them in your life. Imagine the satisfaction and sense of achievement you would get when you tick a box! Here's a tip: Don't write things down that you don't think you'd actually enjoy doing. Aim for what you really want! A great thing about creating a bucket list is that instead of the things that you want to do in life being just a dream, you can make it reality! Take your list with you whenever you go on holiday and most importantly: DON'T LOSE YOUR BUCKET LIST! That is probably the worst possible thing you could do! I reccommend making a few back-up copies just in case! Well I hope this has inspired you, and if you have any questions, feel free to comment!

Owning a pet

Hi, today I'm going to write about the pleasures and responsibilities of owning a pet. Owning a pet is so nice, because if you really care about it, then a strong, affectionate connection will be developed between the two of you. But one very important thing to remember is that a pet is NOT A TOY. You can't just play with it for like a week but then forget about it. Animals have feelings and need plenty of love, and attention. You also need to understand that quite a bit of your own time should be dedicated to your pet. Some pets come with quite a costly side too. If this all sounds like too much, but you still want to spend some time with animals then consider doing some volunteer work at a needy organisation such as the RSPCA. Doing something to help others will give you such happiness! Here are some benefits of owning a pet:

• You practise taking care of someone which comes with a great deal of responsibility


• You and your pet will develop such a strong, loving connection


• Your pet can cheer you up when you are not feeling your best


• They are just so CUTE!

And now, some tips...

• When you get a pet, make sure you thoroughly research how to take good care of it


• TALK to your pet. Tell them what you are going to do with them (e.g bathe them). They will trust you more if they can understand you


• Understand that you're pet can feel fear, anger, frustration and lonliness. Try to do whatever you can to make your pet feel better (just a hug is good.) (Don't do this with a goldfish)


• Give your pet an original name! There are enough 'Charlies' around!

Most importantly, love your pet and accept the responsibility that comes with it!

Love Bel

Photography

I sure aren't a professional photographer or artist, but I have made some great photos and would like to share some tips.

• If you are taking a picture of something very close, turn on the flower feature to get the features clear.


• Taking photos at night may be hard, so turn on night mode.
  
  
• Take pictures of your family, of beautiful sights and things around you.
  
  
• Try to keep your hands still when holding the camera to get a clear picture.



• If you want to share your photos make a scrapbook



• Photo editing can be really fun
  

Here are some photos I took at these beautiful gardens in Fiji:

sorry couldn't get them to go vertical :(

Bel xxx Post soon

P.S as you can see, turning on the flower feature makes a big difference. If you look at the first two, they are much clearer than the last one because i used the flower feature on the first two but not the last one. Hope this tips helped!

What jewellery is right for you?

Hi again,

Today I would like to write about the topic of jewellery - in general. I know that girls love to wear jewellery, but you should know not to overdo it - like with many things, less is definitely more. Pick jewellery that you like and suits your style.

Many girls think that jewellery has to be expensive but it doesn't! Let me reccommend you a fantastic store that has something for everyone at awesome prices: Equip. Whether you like goth style, old fashioned accessories or simple jewellery, Equip has the thing for you!

Another great idea is for you to make your own jewellery. I'm serious! You can make it for yourself, or your family and friends. You could even sell it at local craft markets. Empire Beads is a nice shop with a great selection of beads. If you're prepared to pay a lot of money, than consider taking a jewellery making class - the results are amazing.

I personally love Equip but I also really love this awesome brand of jewellery: Thomas Sabo. It is really quite pricey but the jewellery is amazing and very original. I am asking for a charm bracelet for Xmas:

Enjoy!

Finding the right accessory for you...

Hello,

As summer and christmas is approaching i thought i would share some ideas of how to find the right accessory for you weather it is a bag, shoes, glasses, bangles ect.

ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO GO FOR FAB STUFF AT AFFORDABLE PRICES IS SPORTSGIRL!

i love sportsgirl, grat quality, fab stuff, great prices

anyway if you are a beach girl go for blues or tropical designs also go for a carefree bad, or everyday shoes not stillettoes.

if you are a pretty in pink girl go for you nice handbag or a pair of flats, pink is also flattering.

its also what attracts your eye and what suites skin tone!

p.s pictures of cool things wouldnt upload 
sorry :(

My awesome evening

Hey people

I just came back from what was an AWESOME evening! (And I am very tired). Today I went out to dinner with my family to this really nice, warm and peaceful restaurant with lots of interesting, delicious exotic food. We had stirred-fried vegies, lamb kebabs, dumplings and baklava for dessert. We drank prune juice(which I didn't know was so delicious until I tried it!)

My tips for you are that you should always try something you haven't before, and go for the more interesting, unique food option.

Enjoy!

cyber safety

hi all,


you must be extremely careful on the internet, chat rooms, skype, email, texting


these days anyone can read your messages, people can track you, you can be bullied, anything could happen to personal information.


my advice is go on technology, but dont be nasty, dont give personal details away, if you recieve a strange email print it as proof and if you must, report it.
if you know how to use technology the right way its safe for all to enjoy.


i recently was called a very derrogitory name on skype (whore) so i printed it out as proof, reported it and all is good.


be safe my cyber readers

Girls stuff...

hi guys,
omg havent posted for yonks.
anyway i thought i should keep the theme going
i am going to review a book called girls stuff.
the one isabel review is excellent but i feel girls stuff does prepare you a little better however it is alot more confronting as it talks deeply about puberty and has a chapter on sex.
my mum said to me when she gave it to me 'read only as you need'
so dont go into chapters you dont feel comfortable reading just yet!


it has chapters on jobs, money, puberty, self image, internet, maturing, drugs (pros and cons) and other great things.
it doesnt tell you what you should or shouldnt do it informs you


click here for girls stuff website: http://www.penguin.com.au/girlstuff/


10/10 please give it a go! 
p.s it has awsome little cartoons

The Big Book of Girl Stuff

Hi Bel here as Bella is obviously too lazy to write...

Anyway today I would like to tell you about this great book that I have called The Big Book of Girl Stuff! It is sooooooooo good. It has absolutely everything a girl needs to know and is aimed for girls aged around 8-15. With information about health, boys, sleepovers, friendship, fashion, beauty, art and much, much more, this really is a must-have for all girls! It has tips, ideas, true facts, funny pictures and interesting statistics. It will last you hours, not to mention the amount of times you will re-read it! Here are some examples of chapters in this fabulous book: Healthy Body, Health You!, Babysitting, Girl Power and Family Matters. (It has plenty more too). This book is a really great buy and you can get it at a price of around $24.99AUD. Here are some pics I would like to share with you...
