So I feel heavy. Really, really heavy! Why? Well the fact is I have been doing far too much in the past two days.
 
On Saturday I went out shopping and that took all day. We were trying to buy something for Dad because Sunday was Father's Day. In the end I did find something, not quite what a wanted, but still good.
 
We ended up having to go see my grandparents in the evening because we wouldn't have time to pop over the next day.
 
That being said, you can see why I was tired.
 
But then on Sunday, we got up early and headed out to visit my other lot of grandparents who live down by the beach.
 
It was a really nice day and so we went and played on the beach and happened to meet some cousins of mine who live down there as well.
 
We didn't get back until really late so that's why I don't feel like doing much and just want to go to bed, but I have uni to do and I'm working later on today. No rest of the wicked!
 
Also a few days ago it was my sister's birthday. Happy birthday sis! Love you heaps. Sorry I didn't write you a post on the day.

Taste of my Favourite Music

Don't know about you, but I personally love listening to music. I have a huge playlist of my mp3 player.
 
Recently my music has been up some different things. One person I have been listening to a lot is Peter Hollens. He makes music with just his voice, it's amazing. He even sings backing tracks.
 
Here is one of my favourite piece of his:
 
 
Another musician I adore is Lindsey Stirling. She's dubstep violist and really talents. I really adore her music, it's unique and very different. I always want to dance when I listen to it!
 
Here is a piece of hers:
 
 
A group of singers I enjoy is the Gardiner Sisters, they're a group of sisters who sing beautifully together. Here's the first piece of music I ever listened to of theirs. It's also my favourite:
 
 
And here's one with all of them:
 

Just so you know, Peter Hollens does covers, Lindsey Stirling mainly makes original music, but sometimes do covers and the Gardiner Sisters do covers a lot, but do make originals as well.
 
Well those are three of my favourite musicians at the moment. Who are your favourites? What should I listen to next? Feel free to tell me in the comments!

Update #1

Ok, so let's bring you guys up to date with what I've been up to recently as seeing as this blog hasn't been that well updated.
 
1. I became part of the BBK team. I have already written so much about this, but it's the most exciting thing in my life at the moment.
 
2. I joined Pinterest. It's much better than I expected. I never really thought I had a use for it, now I see I was wrong. I am so inspired by everything I see there.
 
3. I started Uni. Before my huge blogging break, I was only working in a café, but while I'm still working there, I'm also studying. It's long distance so I can still stay home, spend time with my family and do all those cool things.
 
4. I bought myself a brand new camera, my old one broke badly and so I had to get myself a new one and may I just say how much better it is than the old one? I mean to put it to good use!
 
Well that's about all the important things in my life I can think of. So long for now guys! See you later.

Wow, I didn't realise how much work we had done on BBK until this morning. I took a minute just to sit back and look at it.
 
Lily has done an amazing job with the design. I can't imagine how long she has spent at it, but it's looking totally amazing!
 
I have spent quite a bit of my time going through the blog roll and sorting out the blogs on the categories. It's a huge job, but so much fun!
 
Anyway, sorry about writing so much about BBK recently, but it's the centre of my life at the moment, so I don't really have anything else to blog about!
 
Also, could people go follow my sister's blog? She's just restarting it and she wants some friends.

Wow, I have been busy! I have been helping out with BBK so much I haven't had much time for anything else. Which means uni, work and blogging is in the background of things.
 
But, I have made time to write up a very quick post for you guys. I'm having my lunch and a break from looking through all the blogs on BBK, so now is the perfect moment for this!
 
Recently I have been thinking about getting fit. I never really enjoyed exercise, but after looking at YouTube videos and going on Pinterest, I'm getting really excited about.
 
So here's what I'm going to do, I will start doing weights, going for runs and the like at least three times a week.
 
Also to go with that  I am hunting out some brand new recipes. Something much more healthy. Look out for some great new recipes. I will post all the good ones I try!
 
Well, I have to go!

I'm really excited! I have massive news *dramatic music* I have been picked to be one of the BBK team:)
 
I have always admired BBK and wished I could run something like it, but never in a million years did I think I would really be part of it! But now here I am, a member of the team.
 
My role on the blog is to write posts, I can't believe it. Watch out for my posts very soon:)
 
Well I had better get going, I have work to do!
