5 Self-Love Questions Tag - Smiley Central | Guest Week

-

Hey guys! I'm Catherine, I have been writing the blog Smiley Central for almost a year now (crazy, right?). I post about feminism, inspiration, lifestyle and anything else that pops into my head really. I'm really happy to be apart of Lou's Guest Week! I have created this tag to promote self love. I figured it would fit in here well as some of you may not know me and the people that do can get to know me better! We all deserve to love ourselves and we all deserve to show that off!

Rules:
1. Copy and paste these rules into your own post above the questions
2. Answer the questions
3. After the questions, send a kind message to the readers
4. Tag at least five specific bloggers (feel free to do more) but mention that everybody is very welcome to do the tag (just because we all know "I tag everybody reading this" results in nobody else doing it)

1. What is your favourite part of your body?
I love my slim yet strong legs. I love the way they curve and their slimness. I rely on my legs to carry me around, do countless wall sit, run amazing lengths, squat, jump and so many other things, they hardly ever let me down. I have learnt that when I'm really tired, my legs start to ache, after all that work, they send me messages about when I should sleep. I love wearing exercise pants to show their beauty off.

2. What is your favourite trait of your personality?
My favourite part of my personality is something that hasn't always worked in my favour. I'm goofy, I'm weird, I'm not afraid to show that. Because of this, I was bullied. Not as bad as a lot of people but at one of the schools I went to, there wasn't really anybody that was weird like me and the people at the school didn't like that. For a while I tried to be somebody I wasn't but luckily I moved to another school and found some weirdos to be friends with. I don't ever pretend to be somebody I'm not now. If I'm the real me from the start, I attract the right kind of people. I love that I'm different more that anything else about me.

3. What is your ultimate self-date?
At lunch time I go to Subway and take my food home so that I can write blog posts and eat until 2:30 when I go to the Hamilton Gardens (I would have to drive there but let's just ignore that lol) and have a great time exploring the gardens of different countries from home! I leave at 5 and go out for dinner somewhere fancy. I enjoy a lovely meal then come home to my lovely warm bed and watch movies on my computer until I feel like going to sleep. Perfection!

4. What is the best compliment you could ever receive?
I would want my friends to tell me that I'm helpful when they are sad. I try so hard to make sure everybody's happy and to comfort my friends when they need it and I just want to know that I'm doing a good job being the "Fix-It Girl". I really do tie myself up and sometimes I think it would be easier if I didn't comfort every single sad person I come across but I really can't help it.

5. What is something you have achieved that you are proud of?
I think the thing I am most proud of is blogging. Over the time I have been blogging I have developed my writing style, made some true friends, gained a few regular readers (that's something I never thought I would achieve) and grown as a person so much. I'm so grateful that I live in this era, where I can talk to people overseas and share my opinions online freely, I'm so happy that I can share the things I know with others. I'm really proud of my little space online.

My Message To You:
You are beautiful. You are strong. You are kind. That is all true and I believe with my entire soul, I really hope you do too. I know that you aren't perfect and I know that you have regrets. I know sometimes you have difficult days or difficult weeks or difficult months and you might not feel so beautiful, strong and kind in those moments but... You are ALWAYS beautiful. You are ALWAYS strong. You are ALWAYS kind. No matter what. I know that a lot of people say this but please know that I am here for you. I'm quite happy to receive emails at smileycentralinspire@gmail.com whether I know you or not. I will read your email and reply, I want you to know that it is entirely fine if you just want to talk, I'm here.

Our Little Secret | Blogmas Day 24

  It's Christmas Eve! After a disastrous break-up, exes Avery (Lindsay Lohan) and Logan (Ian Harding) are forced to spend Christmas together when they discover that their new significant others are siblings. Last up on the Blogmas list was the 4th of 4 new Netflix Christmas movies. Of the four this was the most highly anticipated, so it only made sense to put it in the Christmas Eve slot. And this was a great movie to end on. Not only was it one of the most original, but it was as much com as rom, which is rare in Christmas movies! It had a really great opening scene. It was gripping, and we get to know the characters right away so we can be excited about where it goes. But what was also great was the opening credits. Probably the most creative way I've ever seen to show the passage of time! The chemistry between the main characters was great, but both of them had absolutely no chemistry with the people they're supposed to be spending Christmas with. After getting into the ...

A Very Merry Beauty Salon | Blogmas Day 23

  It's Blogmas day 23! Sienna's (Tia Mowry) preparation for Atlanta's Tinsel Ball gets derailed when she meets Lawrence (RonReaco Lee), whose company is sponsoring the ball. This is the newest pick of Blogmas, and I'll admit the only reason I picked it was to see the reunion of Mowry and Lee, who played a couple on 'Sister, Sister' back in the day. It wasn't originally on my list but after seeing the trailer, I had to include it! I liked this one, but unfortunately didn't love it. From the start the first thing that jumped out at me was how authentic all the characters felt. It was well written and everything felt real. I loved that the supporting characters had their own storylines. They didn't steal the show from the main characters but we still got the chance to get to know them. This may not have been the best romance of Blogmas, but it definitely had the best decorations! Just looking at the backgrounds alone makes you feel really festive and Ch...

Dancing Through Christmas | Blogmas Day 22

  It's Blogmas day 22! Sparks fly when single father Michael (Colin Lawrence) begins to fall for his daughter's dance teacher Olivia (AnnaLynne McCord). I mainly picked this one because I'm familiar with the main actress, but the premise was quite sweet so I was looking forward to it. This one was fine, not great but not bad either. The characters were instantly likeable, and the chemistry between them was great from their very first meeting. But it took a bit too long for the story to start because the pacing was weird - the characters spent too long on their individual storylines and then no time apart at all - nothing was gradual. There was almost no tension because the characters obviously liked each other and repeatedly vocalised this very early on. It made it hard to know what the point of the story actually was, because there was no 'will they, won't they' that these movies usually have. Considering that dancing is an important part of the film, the chara...

  As always, here are the films I've watched and reviews I've written this Blogmas! Meet Me Next Christmas | Blogmas Day 1 - This was a cute way to start the Christmas season! Christmas Lucky Charm | Blogmas Day 2 - I loved this one, especially the character of Jessica. Destined at Christmas | Blogmas Day 3 - This one was disappointing because the characters never spent any time together. The Christmas Checklist | Blogmas Day 4 - This one explored grief in an interesting way. Hot Chocolate Holiday | Blogmas Day 5 - Worth it just for the Christmas treats! No Sleep 'Til Christmas | Blogmas Day 6 - Original and so much chemistry between the (real life) couple! A Christmas of Wonders | Blogmas Day 7 - Generic, basic Christmas movie. Snowmance | Blogmas Day 8 - The first of two snowmen coming to life! A Show-Stopping Christmas | Blogmas Day 9 - Cute, but Riley was a much better character than Sam. The Christmas Retreat | Blogmas Day 10 - Loved the banter between the co...

Merry & Gay | Blogmas Day 2

It's Blogmas Day 2! This film is called 'Christmas With Love' on Prime, where I watched it, so it wasn't until after watching it that I realised it has a completely different name! So I've gone with Merry & Gay, which is a much better title anyway. Broadway star Becca (Dia Frampton) goes home to her small town for Christmas and soon realises she is falling back in love with her childhood sweetheart Sam (Andi Rene Christensen). I didn't like this that much. It's not the worst Christmas movie I've seen this Blogmas, but it's also not one of the best (and at the time of writing this I'm only 6 movies in). Even for a Hallmark-style Christmas movie, the acting wasn't great. It took me a long time to believe anything the characters said or did. Speaking of the characters, they were likeable enough but I didn't really care about them at all, and after a while I became a bit bored of their lives. It wasn't very festive, and at times didn...
