Cat Cake | The Positivity Diaries

So this weeks been extremely up and down but I'm hoping to make next week a lot better . Either way, there's always good bits so here they are !



Monday : I did lots of blog planning :)

Tuesday : I made some flashcards and they really helped me learn a lot of french vocabulary

Wednesday : Me and my girlfriend went out for hot chocolate in Costa on our lunch break !



Thursday: The majority of today was spent helping my girlfriend with her art project ... I say helping, I mean I'm no artist but she let me paint the sides of the canvas when she was running out of time to finish , so I'm gonna say I helped ;) I couldn't be prouder of how talented she is <3




Friday: Some of our classes got cancelled so we went home early, got a chippy and watched Into The Woods because I hadn't seen it and oh my gosh it was so good !

Saturday : Georgie and me made a cake in the shape of my cat Charlie for my mums boyfriend birthday ( He really loves Charlie )



Sunday : I've gone out without make up on for the first time in at least a year, maybe two !

In the comments let me know 3 good things that have happened to you this week so we can keep this communal positivity diary going !

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

  3. That hot chocolate looks so good and that cake is begging to be in my mouth! Your girlfriend is so talented and so sweet, I keep remembering your amazing date together :D I always feel great after I have done heaps of blog planning! I'm so proud of you for going out without make-up on, I'm sure nobody noticed but it's something personal that you need to overcome, well done!
    This week was really great, I went back to school, I travelled to the other main island of New Zealand (the one I have never been in), bought some high waisted shorts that I have been searching for for a year (we don't have the best shops where I live, it's a small town and finally bought three more designed notebooks (with happy quotes on the front), I have a big notebook obsession! I know you said three things but my week has just been too awesome to limit myself!
    I hope you have a day filled with magic and joy,
    <3 Catherine

  8. That hot chocolate looks delish! And the cat cake is super adorable as well- looks like a lot of work but definitely worth it!
    This weekend it was my boyfriends birthday so we had a nice dinner with his family, I also picked up my new glasses that I have to wear while using the computer (but I like them so it's ok!) and I bought some nice new bed sheets! Nothing better than cozy things hehe :)

  9. I love this positivity idea! It's definitely infectious :) I also love that kitty cake! So cute.

    Three things... Might be hard, this past week was a bit of a blur! I finished my book (it had a great ending, it was a good read!) and got to start a new one (always exciting!). I spent a fair amount of time with my family. And my electricity, once it was restored last Sunday, has remained working all week, haha! Losing power really makes you appreciate power ;)

  11. A canvas on top of a canvas on top of a canvas :D! Literally genius haha plus the flower turned out so pretty!! <3 :D and nice skills painting the side haha. You should try out this app called Duolingo (it's free ;) and it teaches you all sorts of languages. I tried it out once because I wanted to learn french and I actually learned a lot but then I got lazy with it haha but it's really good especially if you're serious about learning French :D I have yet to watch into the woods so I'll be adding that onto my must watch list. THE CAT CAKE!!! :D OMG it's perfect haha I bet your mom's boyfriend must have loved it!! Let's see, I got out a bit early from class last week, I had time to film a video and upload it, and I made time to write out a post :D It literally just came to me in the middle of the night haha. I really do hope next week picks up for you <3 xx

She's definitely good but I don't know if she can compete with my painting of the sides hehe ;) Ooo that sounds really interesting, I'll look it up because I do alevel french and really want to improve :) He found the cake really funny hehe :) It's always a nice surprise when you get out of class early and woo I love watching yours and rainbows youtube videos while I'm doing my make up in the mornings <3

  16. What an excellent idea for an extended blog post! Your week sounds pretty darn decent; your girlfriend is clearly super talented, and my gosh did that hot chocolate look good! Into the Woods was such a good film; I think I cried in it - I'm not going to lie :P

    This week I've started my blog (hurrah) which has been a large achievement for me! I can't wait to firmly create a schedule, and establish my position in this superb community! I also made pancakes this morning (super productive for me, a usual "I'll just have some cereal" kind-of-guy) and made a kick-start on my art project. Overall, a pretty decent week :)
