Bullet Journal Review | LittleBirdSinging | That Pale Girl
Recently I have decided to become more organised, as I do have a very forgetful memory ! Ask me what happened a few weeks ago and I'm not the best at remembering, maybe it's the lack of sleep or the student lifestyle Phaha! Who knows but its lead me to this path of attempting my first Bullet Journal!
What is a bullet journal you ask ? Well, pretty much it's a diary/to do list/note book/everything else book ! You can add loads of pages in it to help you such as calendars to keep track of birthdays, future log if you're planning in advance, monthly habits to keep track of your activities or notes to plan your time!
So I went in search of a cute notebook that I could use that was practical and cute and not overly priced, as you can find some well made ones on sites like Paperchase or buy a bullet journal from the Website. I opted for a more handmade option and had a look on Etsy <3
And this is what I found ...
The Little Bird Singing !
Below is their Esty page.

Killstar Coffin Backpack and Blackmilk Review | ThatpaleGirl
So hey long time no see I guess ... Sorry about that!
As iv been at uni it's been busy but I guess that never stopped me from shopping!
Recently iv brought a new backpack for summer/Uni which I am in love with. I haven't brought a new bag in a very long time but I have been eyeing this one up for a good couple months now ( I also found a cheeky discount which helped me push myself over that spending line, If you know what I mean).
So this is the bag ! When I brought it I originally thought it would be smaller. It is intact HUGE. Well much larger than I am sure used too. I can fit most of my belongings in there with extra room to spare !
The straps are perfect sized for me as I prefer my bags to hang a bit rather than be tight up against my back, which they allow for.
The coffin shaped design does draw some attention to me as obviously its not a 'normal' shaped bag, but then again I have purple coloured hair... So who really gives a shit!?
But the design of the bag is what really drew me too it as I'm not a overly gothic person but I do enjoy the darker side of things and bats <3 So it suits me and my style too.
The only downfall I would say is the pockets. Im not exactly sure what they wanted you to be able to fit in there ? but I think I could fit a few coins in there at most. its not because of the length as I can fit most of my hand inside the pocket but the width lets it down hugely.
 |
One this I would say that really tops this bag off for me is that is seems very durable, I have used this every day since receiving it in the post and there seems no wearing at all !
I would honestly recommend this bag to anyone who was looking at it, Go for it if your after a cute little coffin bag!
If your interested in snapping up this cute little bag then here's the link : Killstar Coffin Backpack
By now I would have hoped you'd notice the extremely colourful dress I am wearing in the photos above... If not have a quick look ^^ . As that is the beautiful new dress I also received in the post. This is the Galaxy Rainbow Long Sleeve Skater Dress by Black Milk Clothing! I am also wearing the Sporty Stripes 2.0 by Blackmilk as well.
I wear colours once in a blue moon, if even that! So this is a very daring piece for me and one that I would never have usually gone for if I had not of been able to try a friends on a while back.
I loved this piece mostly for the long sleeved arms when I tried it on more than the colours, as I would usually go for darker pieces. These photos are very true to the colour and it is really that bright, and yes I really am wearing that bright of a piece of clothing for someone who lives in black.
I am all for one for blackmilk as I am a sharkie hence the beanie! The fabric is of high quality likewise with the products as I now currently own over 50+ pieces, So they must be doing something right?
The tights I also wear are also from blackmilk they are durable and very cute, they also definitely help finish off a outfit if i want to show some leg but I also want to wear tights, So I get the best of both worlds with them.
If your interested in either of these products you can find them below :
Galaxy rainbow long sleeve skater dress which is priced at $99 AUD
and
Sporty stripes hosiery 2.0 which are priced at $30 AUD
I have a outfit of the day video coming up on my Youtube Channel, See below :3

I Am Fucking Weird | DiffCollab | ThatPaleGirl
I have recently come across this small but brilliant idea for a youtube collaboration. Its a world wide collaboration through posting your own video in response to the video on the channel!
Hold up I will get the video to better explain it!
I found this through forums on YTtalk and thought it would be something I would enjoy getting involved in ... So I did :3
I am planning on doing some of the older video prompts but for now I completed the what makes you weird video which you can find here!
After making some extremely nerve wrecking video in the park as I choose a nice day (what a dick!) and so many people were walking around ugh! people man! I finally had a window of 5 mins and made this !
For my Youtube Channel I plan to create some more Diffcollab video's as I enjoyed failing a few times at making this one. SCORE!
I plan on making a cheeky video about BM so watch out for that if your interested !

Blogging and Youtube | ThatPaleGirl
As you may know recently I have decided to re-start up my youtube channel. This is my second one as my first was rather childish, sad and rather dickish.
So a fresh start I guess kinda … Well Now anyways I have recently been trying to think of ideas for good videos, that people would enjoy and keep coming back for more content. While also subscribing to your channel and following you on other networks. (which is handwork these days aha)
Here is my most recent video so you can see how much iv grown up ... or not :3
So here is my little guide on how to blog and film good content! (these are Ideas that have been recommended, researched or tested)
First of all find what bloggers and youtubers you enjoy the most. As you may want to follow in their foot steps.
For me my favourite bloggers and youtubers at the moment are Helen Anderson who mostly does youtube about her life, her band and fashion but has daily blogs on the side.
Zoe London the quirky, brightly haired youtuber and blogs about her life, fashion, DJing and activities surrounding her London life.
Ellie James who is a cute ass Red haired youtuber who I can relate too so much! She has very down to earth videos about her life and things she finds interesting.
Leanne Woodfull is a blogger iv been aware of but never really looked into until recently, I love her style as I can relate to it with my own! She blogs about fashion, her travels and mostly her lifestyle.
So from looking at the bloggers I follow I enjoy fashion and lifestyle kind of blogs and videos that involve how to video’s, tutorials on makeup, dying hair etc…, a day in a life video, experience videos such as getting a tattoo done, outfit posts… you get the idea.
So now you have found what you enjoy watching and reading yay! I know this might sound silly but don’t forget to write about things you enjoy and use yourself. You can give a personal review of the item if it be clothing or not. I would also say don’t forget to be yourself as people enjoy personality behind the video, blog post or photo. For me I love the videos which are in the life of … as it shows a personal view of the world from that persons eyes. Down to how they edit the video, what they add and take away from it too.
With most blog posts you need photos that is going to invite your audience in to go hmm I want me some more! Using a fun, quirky and unique photo that clearly shows off what your talking about helps. If its a product you are showing off by using different colours i.e. 3 different coloured sunglasses arranged on a tropical background or showing how you would use the product in one photo would work really well too. These photos can be shared across different media platforms to build up excitement and awareness of you post.
For videos it is a little harder as you need to explain what your video is about in a thumbnail. A great way to get audiences attention and get them eagerly awaiting your new video by posting the videos thumbnail a few days before you launch the video on your Facebook, Instagram, twitter page to draw in attention. A great idea is to have a day in which you upload your video each week for instance Friday is a great day, as its just before the weekend. It is also good for your audience to know when a new video would be coming up so they can check your page and youtube when you post regally.
To keep people coming back its great to have good content and ideas but unless you post and upload regally then people will get confused and mishmashed about your blog and youtube and be uncertain when your going to post or blog. If you post regally and have a schedule it is friendlier towards the user. I am no saint to sticking to a schedule unfortunately as well life gets in the way aha! But man bloggers and youtubers know this to well.
I also would recommend looking into a decent layout for your blog as you don't want to have the same standard blog design that blogger gives you. Choose something that is you! Something that stands out to you and SCREAMS that me! I love the layout I have as its simple and to the point. It's not overly cluttered and in your face.

Renting Houses | That Pale Girl |
After a long time of doing that growing up thing, I have ripened enough and come to that age where I move out of my parents house. I believed it would be so much more easier than this. Little did I know … You can't live in a bouncy house (sad days!) sigh! my dream home ...
First of all I didn’t realise I had so many belongings from clothing to makeup to hair stuff to just general crap really. Theres so much of it ! aha Plus it dosent help that I have a growing mountain that is blackmilk clothing (but I can’t help that) and shoes you cannot forget the shoes! Iv been rummaging through my old stuff and selling what i don’t need or want. Im sad to see some of it go but I have to move on now.
To make enough money for the deposit (which is rent rent x30) blimey !! iv been working overtime. Working the shittist of hours to create some extra cash here and there! It tries you the fuck out ! But soon I shall be living the student life aha which is no different. Studying, partying, lectures, being social! ha!
But who knew how much money went into renting a property as you need the first months rent, the deposit plus any fees you may have to pay to the agency for referencing and looking at your credit history! You also need a good credit history too, so don’t get into dept just yet ;)!
From viewing some properties after only seeing one photo on websites such as Zoopla. Going to view these properties i had an open mind … Some of them are in the most atrocious state iv ever seen. They are dark, dingy and they smell like a cats died in them. I don’t know how people can live like that ??
Another thing we had to go through was rejection. Oh and boy did we get rejected!! As we are sharers some landlords don’t want to have to purchase a extra licence (even though they are given money to make it suitable for sharers by the council to put fire doors and alarms etc.. in) FOOLS!!
We applied for many houses filling in the application only to be rejected, which was so devastating for us all.
This one house which we all really loved and was suitable for every single one of our needs individually was our biggest let down. As we got through after putting our application through, which made us all relax and feel at ease for a while for that only to be thrown out the window by the landlord choosing another application after we paid the fees. Worst feeling ever! (they have offered to give us our money back due to it not being our fault). But phoning up and looking for a place to live leaves me feeling so awkward! I hate phone calls with people I don’t know (i think most people do).
Ill leave this on a funny note !
We went to view a few properties with this particular estate agents and the bloke they sent was in the wrong job! He shook our hand like a wet fish, he barley even was able to tell us what belonged with the house (if we even had a garage or not etc..) also at another house the tenants showed us around … the house was is such bad condition and the estate agents had been neglecting them that they just ripped into them ! black mould eww !!
Update 7th May 2015 | ThatPaleGirl |
As iv been growing up I have learned a lot of things that I never thought I would. As a child i used to think the world was all fun and games where you could just take your teddy and zoom off into another world or ask mummy for help! Now I’m nearly 20 and Im almost ready to move out of home I wish even half of what I believed as a child was true.
I also found that friends who are worth your time will stick around, those people you can count on and count on you will be there when you need them. You will also fall out with your ‘friends’ over big and small things even forgetting what it was over but never talking to them again… not my loss aha! or you will just grow apart becoming different people with others.
You will meet new amazing people too ! which is a plus side to losing the old friends. As you are now an adult and not a child your personality has mostly developed and hopefully by now you will know who you are ! Iv found out I’m naturally blue haired, tattoo mad, crazy and colourful ! Who also found her love for photography, modelling and has decided to go to uni to study film. (after the disapproval of my dad who’s finally warmed up to it :3 ).
I have hidden things about my life to my parents. Sex being one that is unspoken of and probably never will be aha ! But also tattoos iv never been brave enough to tell my parents about my tattoos and now i have 9! One of them now being on my arm after i finally braved up and spoke to them about it ! … yet I’m still scared to tell them aha My life.
I have experienced learning to drive, passing and failing too. But Iv loved driving, even when i was a learner and i had my dad moaning in the back of my head! Iv also experienced my first car crash after joking about it a few minutes before (ironic huh?) which developed my driving experience and scared the shit out of me may i do add ! (oh and both me and passenger were fine and dandy and it was nothing extreme just a little bump and grind).
Iv also found i have a love for blackmilk clothing and the community the surrounds it! I am going to a meet up in London tomorrow for the catsuit queen Erica who is a gorgeous babe! Im so excited to meet more people as the ones i have meet are so kind, helping and supportive.
Anyways as far as a update goes I now work Three jobs aha fuck my life right now i know! but its all to move out with my wonderful Samuel. he’s been looking after me and were looking for a house with 2 awesome friends of ours. Soon i may do a house tour lol never been able to do that before so watch this space …
Any how i have to go to work in 15 mins ahh i wish i could just sleep right now though! all part of growing up i guess BOO!!

From Whom Inspire Me | ThatPaleGirl | Helon Anderson | Zoe London | NinkComPoop | Livingdeadgirll
This is an appreciation post really not going to lie aha
Back when I went to download festival on the 13-15th June 2014 one of my favourite youtuber’s was doing a meet and greet at one of the lounges on the download site, I got to meet two Inspirational and gorgeous women.
 |
| Me, Melon, Zoe |
I went to go meet Melonlady now known as Melon or Helen anderson. I had been watching Melon for around 3 years now, which is unbelievable as some youtubers you can get easily bored of them and lose interest. I still remember watching her first day in the life video, following her around. Now personally I think melon has matured and grown up alongside her youtube channel. She also skyrocketed up within the last year with help from her blog, youtube and PR and featuring in other famous bloggers and youtubers blogs and vlogs as well.
I have a similar style to melon as I enjoy coloured hair, tattoos, piercings and the alternative style, but I also enjoy fashion as well especially visiting all the high street fashion shops on Oxford Street but also the markets in Camden Town. The reason I think i can relate to Melon so much is because she is a curvy lady and she takes pride in her appearance, eats healthily, exercises and looks after herself. Which is a great role model for teenagers and young girls these days.
 |
| Melon | Helon Anderson |
The other wonderful lady I meet was miss Zoe London, previously before download I will admit I knew about her, liked her style and all but never followed her on social media etc.. When I meet her she was the kindest lady ever a lot taller than expected though. I now read her blog daily, enjoying her videos daily. Her style is different to melon and I think its more mature, which I think I also need to balance out everything. My style is also similar to zoe with the colourful hair to the way she dresses. If you haven’t checked her out I highly recommend that you do !
 |
| Zoe London |
Ninkcompoop is also another inspiration to me as I can relate to Ellie with age, Melon and Zoe are great but they are also much older than me so have more experiences.
I love that she’s random and colourful, she is also very relatable as she likes little quirky things. Her videos are random , her family are very involved in the vlogs too which is wonderful as most people are camera shy. Also I can relate to her well as i have colourful hair and I used to have braces. Not that thats important. I enjoy watching her and checking out her daily life.
 |
| Nickcompoop | Ellie |
A new edition to my inspiration list is Livingdeadgirll or Cori. She is a stunning punk lady who has a fabulous sense of style and creativity. She creates her own unique outfits and clothing items, which she now sells. She films herself explaining and showing viewers how to create such awesome clothing. She also is a lover of Blackmilk clothing which is pretty rad in my books as I love blackmail myself! Her hair colour changes daily but is always on point and looking beautiful too. She also includes her really Awesome looking boyfriend in her videos who has an amazing studded leather jacket ! That I am absolutely jealous of aha !
