Favourites of 2013

Hey happy last day of 2013

Seeing how today is the last day of 2013, like seriously where did this year go. I thought it was fitting to do a post on all my favourite things throughout 2013. There isn't that many but we shall jump in all the same.

Book

I've read tons of books this year and I've had a good think of what book is my favourite for the year and it was seriously hard to pick just one but I did and drum roll please......

I loved this book, it was totally different from anything I had read before and would highly recommend it. If you want to see my full review on this book then click here :)

Film

I haven't watched that many films this year, mostly because there hasn't been that many good ones but one film has stuck with me and I've watched it many times since it came out.

TV

Now this was a hard one to pick seeing as I watch a ton of programmes which you can see here & here. But of course one programme stood out more than the others it was refreshing and had me hooked from the start.

Music

There hasn't been a great deal of music that I have liked this year nor one set album so I thought I would just list some songs that I've liked throughout the year

Katy Perry - Roar & Unconditionally

One Direction - Story of my Life

Lorde - Royals

Passenger - Let Her Go

Demi Lovato - Heart Attack & Party In The USA

One Republic - Counting Stars

I'm sure there was more songs that I liked but my mind is having a snooze so I can't think of anymore.

Beauty

The last half of the year I started getting into make-up and wanting to try new things, which lead me to try out beauty boxes and my favourite is....

Glossy box. There's something about receiving a box full of goodies every month. I really enjoyed getting these boxes and will be signing back up in the new year.

Everything else

Coat

Since I brought this coat in the summer I've worn it non stop since September and I love it.

YouTube

Obsessed is probably the word that best desribes how I am about YouTube. As well as getting to watch awesome videos it is also a good source for information, you can literally find anything and I mean anything.

My Blog

Of course I'm going to mention my blog. I've had such fun doing this blog since July it's given me something to focus on & I've loved talking to a few of you.

Bloglovin

I read a ton of blogs (20 so far) and it's a great way to keep all the blogs you love to read in one place & allows you to discover new blogs (like mine :p) 

----------------------------------------------

Well that pretty much sums up my favourites for the year. It's been a roller coaster of a year but I'm hoping 2014 will be better. Just want to thank all of you who have read my blog and follow me, your support is touching. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year's Eve & if you're celebrating then stay safe and I'll see you all next year :)

XOXO

Chit Chat Thursday #1

Hey guys,

I wanted to do something different today so I thought what better than just a good old chit chat this shall be a series, probably not every week though just when I have something to say. :)

For today's chit chat I'm going to talk about my blog and give you a sense as to why I started it, what I hope to achieve from it and what my plans for the blog are. 

At the start of 2013 I got a tad addicted to YouTube, I'd been watching videos before then but not very often unlike now where I'm watching videos everyday lol, when I first started watching videos I really only watched one Youtuber and that was Allthatglitters21 now know as Elle Fowler and her other channel called EllesGlitterGossip which is of course by the lovely Elle Fowler, and now I follow so many different Youtubers I often lose count lol 

A lot of the Youtubers I subscribe to have blogs which I also read and because I'm not confident to be in front of the camera, plus I don't really have a camera that I could film with, i thought that I could start a blog and give my opinion on items without the pressure of being in front of a camera. I feel I have so much to say about the products I buy, whether it be clothes, make-up, books, food etc, that people could benefit from my reviews and help them either discover something new or to avoid it completely. 

Most of the videos I watch are actually regarding make-up and even though I don't wear it much I still like to be in the know in case I decide to start wearing it on a regular basis, so it didn't really make much sense to start a blog about make-up when I'm not buying enough products to review, and then I  had a lightbulb moment and I came up with the idea to do a little bit of everything hence my blog name (littlebitofeverything) and so far I've done a DIY, book and movie reviews, July favourites and a shopping haul. I like the that my blog doesn't just focus on one thing, it has a bit of everything to suit who ever may come across and read it. 

My blog was a project that I started when I broke up from work for the summer holidays (I work in a school) with having 6 weeks off it was the perfect opportunity to start it as it gave me enough time to get it up and running and working on posts that I want to put up every week. I'm not really on a posting schedule but as I'm going back to work next Tuesday I wanted to get into the routine of posting weekly which I believe I managed to stick to. I've had more readers viewing my blog than I ever thought possible, I didn't have any big ambitions for this blog, only if a handful people read this blog than I'm happy that you are reading this, your support means a lot :) 

This is not something I'm rushing, I'd like to take each day as it comes. I know my blog has a long way to go (it's only a month old) I still don't have a proper title, the colour scheme is not what I want to keep, there's still a lot to do and being someone who doesn't know how to customise their blog without getting confused (which does not take much lol) it's going to take some time. I'm not good at describing things I feel I repeate my words and use the wrong words a lot but I hope to improve that as time goes on and I hope you all stick with me for the ride because there is so much more to come from my blog which you do not want to miss. 

To give you a taste of what's to come in the next few weeks, I've got another book review, current TV shows that I'm watching, back to work haul and last one I'm going to tell you about is a hair care routine and as for the rest you will have to keep your eyes peeled :) 

I plan to blog every Saturday and if I've not had a busy week as I shall be back at work I will try and upload a post on Wednesdays but no promises.

I hope you enjoyed this post, be sure to subscribe so I can see who my readers are :) feel free to leave comments I will reply to anyone who wishes to leave me one. Last but not least, why not follow me on the interweb and keep update with me :)

XOXO

Debbie
