Hey Beautiful Creatures, Today I am going to do another chatty talk time. I didn't post on Sunday since I was out basically all day then once I got home I totally forgot so Im so sorry for that. First things first Posting, I am thinking of changing my schedule. I am deciding to post only twice a week on a sunday then any other random day not specifically scheduled, I hope this is ok with you but this will cause less post missing. So from now on I will be posting 2 days a week post likely Sunday and another day but it could just be 2 random days.
Also as you probably know, my blog is called Thinking Out Loud so I was thinking that I should change my Chatty Talk Times from being called Chatty Talk Times and now call them thinking out loud since I am basically thinking out loud. Telling you what I am thinking.
I got so angry the other day, I went to log into my Instagram and it said if I want to get back in I have to do something that involved having to have fricken Facebook, I don't have FaceBook. So there goes my Instagram. I have made a new one which is now @kkhope33 and make sure you follow my twitter which is the same, I am so disappointed but get excited for photos that I have taken personally.
I am also doing some cooking this weekend so I will be taking photos along the way and posting them on here along with the recipe. I am cooking a couple of things but they won't all go up at the same time.
As you already know I live in Australia, as you don't already know I live in Victoria (a state in Australia) in a couple of weeks I might be going to the Gold Coast (Queensland) because it is currently freezing and I want to go somewhere warm so if my family and I do decide to go I will be defiantly be doing some travel posts (e.g. what I pack, carry on essentials, outfit ideas, photos etc) I am also running out of post ideas so if you have any suggestions comments down below or tweet me @kkhope33
Thats it for today, I will see you when I post next which will be very very soon.
Love you all xx

Anxiety.
Hey Beautiful Creatures, this post is a bit different to my usual happy and cheery post this post is actually quite deep, serious and emotional to me. So no one knows this except for my mum but I suffer from anxiety. Some of you may be thinking I am saying this and doing this for popularity because Zoella did it but thats not true, she did inspire me to do this post but I do honestly suffer from anxiety. I suffer when I have to go to my dads. My parents split when I was young and both my mum and dad have re married. Its confusing the relationship with my step mum (my dads new wife) but I have never really liked her and her daughter (my step sister). My step sister used to bully me a lot, physically and mentally but now I have learnt to deal with it and stick up for myself. Also my step mum sort of has these chats with me that makes me feel uncomfortable, I know its for my own good and everything but I get scared that one of those talks are going to happen again. I don't get panic attacks but I am going to dads this weekend and when I think about it I start breathing really fast and my heart starts beating faster. Like now. I don't know why I get scared and anxious about going, because 2/10 of those times they have those 'chats'. So today is about telling you my story and what I do to control it.
1. If your getting anxious about something just breath, relax. Push that thought to the back of your mind and think about the good things. I live a terrible way, in the week instead of looking forward to something good in the week, I pinpoint the bad thing and dread it.
2. Look forward to something. When I go to my dads I always look forward to something even if its just like seeing my mum or writing a blog post.
3. Play Music. I don't know about you but playing music and dancing around relaxes me, I go full out crazy and just forget about it.
4. Read a book. Get sucked into a really good book, kick away reality for a while and live in the book your reading. Live their life for a while.
5. Talk to someone. I know that I talk to my mum, but saying this to you guys makes me feel so much better, just letting it out relaxes me.
6. Think to yourself why your anxious. I honestly don't know why I get anxious about going and what Im scared of. Is it my step mum? Step Sister? But all I know is that I don't want to go.
7. Take a relaxing bath or just have a nap in bed. Forget about everything.
8. Think about the one good thing. There has to be one, I know for this weekend it is that they just got 2 new dogs and I can't wait to meet them.
9. Exercise. Going for a run playing your music in the fresh air is SOO relaxing and your not just de-stressing
So most of those things were about forgetting about everything. I have suffered from anxiety for about 7 months now since I found out a bit more about my step family and having those 'talks'. I know that when I get all anxious I start biting my nails and shaking my legs and just puffing. I know that anxiety is now really common but it makes me feel really good letting this out and telling you. When I get anxious I am like half anxious and half telling myself that there is nothing to worry about because there isn't really. If you would like feel free to tell me your anxiety stories if you suffer in the comments because trust me it feels really good to let it out and tell someone. I would love to hear your stories but again only if you are comfortable. It actually helps me relax and calm down talking about it. Thats all for now though so remember to tell me your stories and your tips and I will talk to you soon.
Love you all xx

Chatty Talk Time + Small Haul & Post Sneak Peaks
Heyyy Beautiful Creatures, Its Chatty Talk Time!
So Today I went to see Paper Towns with my cousin Ella and I was slightly disappointed. It was great as a movie but coming from the perspective of someone who read the book I was disappointed. It was great can't take that away but I had higher expectations and they advertised it so much it wasn't what I was wanting but I do still recommend it.
Also I am going to be doing BlogMas which is basically when I upload everyday in december yes, everyday so is it weird that I am already planning my posts... The annoying thing is that in Australia Christmas is in summer and for most other countries its winter so I am planning on doing mostly Summer Posts but Winter Kind of posts thrown in aswell so I am also giving you guys that are from the UK, US etc something.
I have had mostly a lazy day today other than going to the cinemas, I got back about half an hour ago and straight away I changed into my pyjamas. Also my mum went and bought me some things so I thought I should do a mini haul of what she got me!
The first thing she got me was the twinkle lights I REALLY wanted from typo which I added in my wants post but we don't have any batteries... But we are getting some.
Another thing I got from my wants post was the Lanterns and I am so excited to use them but again we have no batteries, going to steal some from something.
She also got me this aqua desk organiser from Kmart that I have filled up will my main notebooks, erasers, pins, sharpeners etc.
She then got me a typo pen organiser thingo that has an aqua pen holder then a wooden section to put glue stick, string, sticky tape and scissors and those 2 sections are connected to each other. I love it.
I then got some washi tape by some I mean 12 rolls... and I will talk to you about what I am going to do with them later.
I got some brown string and mini mini wooden pegs which I will talk about in a minute along with the washi tape.
The last thing I got was some Patterned paper that are silver, black and white themed, they are gorgeous.
Now the things I wanted to say about the washi tape, string and pegs is I am thinking of doing some DIY posts and I wanted to know if you would like me to do that? I will probably do it anyway but I wanted to know what you would think about it.
That is the end of the longest Chatty Talk Time I have ever done I hope you liked the little haul and the sneak peak of posts to come and I will see you soon!!
Love You All xx

July Favourites
Hey Beautiful Creatures, so it is nearly the end of July so I thought it was time for another Favourites post. This year has literally gone so fast, it felt like yesterday it was New Year's Eve now it's nearly Christmas! So let's start shall we!
9-5 Cleanser From Lush: This Cleanser gives me the clearest and softest skin, I put some on my face every morning then wash it off with some warm water on a cloth. After woods my face is so so soft and it makes it so much easier to apply my moisturiser.
Robe/Dressing Gown from Cotton On Body: I mentioned this robe in my last haul with summer, if you missed make sure to check it out but it is a hot pink colour, really soft and warm. I have been wearing this like every night before bed and I never get cold.
Weekly Planner From Typo: This planner was also mentioned in my last haul. It is a huge A2 weekly planner which has sections for each and everyday, a weekly goals section, a shopping list section and a notes and random thoughts section. I have this sitting on my desk and I check it everyday and it helps me not forget anything like my homework.
OGX Argon Oil Shampoo: This shampoo is perfect, it is so easy to rub in to the scalp of my hair, it Thickens my hair which I don't really need but it keeps my hair from getting greasy as quickly,
Clearisal FaceWash: I use this FaceWash while in the shower, I tried using it every morning but it wasn't good for my skin so I use it every second day whilst in the shower.
Rock Salt Soap from Lush: When I got my cleanser from lush I got a free soap sample with it the one I got was rock salt and it smells Devine. It has a sweet sort of smell and it smells exactly like a bubble bar I have got from lush before, I think it was in one of my hauls (not the one with summer) actually.
Some apps that I have been enjoying this this month is...
- We heart it
- Tumblr
- Pinterest
I have had these for a while but I have enjoying them more this month.
Music that I have enjoyed this month is...
- The whole Sound Of Music Soundtrack
- Worth it: Fifth Harmony
- I Know Places: Taylor Swift
- Welcome to New York: Taylor Swift
- Wildest Dreams: Taylor Swift
Those are some of my favourites this month, I really enjoy doing favourites and I can't wait to talk to you guys next time.
Love you all xx

Things I Want to Buy
Hey Beautiful Creatures, so I don't know about you but I have a shopping addiction but not the normal kind of shopping addiction. Most people classify shopping addiction as going shopping and buying HEAP AND HEAPS of stuff but my classification is I LOVE shopping and I want to buy heaps and heaps of things buttttttt.... I can't afford it so I have a want to buy shopping addiction i guess? So today I am going to be doing a things I want to buy!
First thing is an iMac which is an apple desktop computer. Who doesn't? I currently have a Macbook Air but I REALLY REALLY want an iMac for christmas
From TYPO (which is an australian stationary and homeware shop) I want a Backpack known as the 'Harvard Backpack' in the colour/style Photo Collage. I really like the style of this backpack and I will insert a picture here:
So This is it ^^^^^ I love how its got a tumblr/pinterest theme and how its got the friends, the carnival, the daisies and heaps of other really cute things.
The next thing is also from TYPO and it is a photo book. It is a A4 Activity Journal which is in the Style Photo Craft.
The next thing I want is a Rose Gold Pen Holder from TYPO, my room at the moment is pastels and my family is renovating a house in about a year and a half and my colour theme I want to be in pastel pink and gold so I want to gradually get the things.
I also want from TYPO a A4 Campus Notebook in the style CL Cute Collage. It is a thing like the backpack it has the tumblr, pinterest feel but it doesn't have the same photos on it.
Another thing is a binder form TYPO which has the exact same style as the backpack but is called Summer Collage. You can see a theme going on can't you.
From TYPO I really want a pack of pencils that are black and they have little sentences written on the ends.
A thing I have wanted from TYPO since they came out are lanterns. They are on a string and you plug them in and they light up and and they are just... gorgeous, you can't have a tumblr room with out these basically.
They last thing is another thing from TYPO and it is a string of fairy lights called 'Twinkle Lights'. I currently have white christmas lights but the string/cord is dark green and it doesn't look that good, i try to hide it but... If you have these twinkle lights and the lanterns your room will look like a dream at night.
SO there are SOME things I want, there are heaps and heaps of other things but I think this post would be over 1 million words long if i added everything. If you would like a Part 2 comment down below and I will see you on thursday!!
LOVE YOU ALL xx

9 Wishes I Want To Come True
Hey Beautiful Creatures, everyone has wishes, some people take them more seriously and some people hope for it to come true when they know it won't. Today I'm doing a Top 9 wishes I HOPE to come true.
- Become a Successful Youtuber: Not meaning famous but meaning that I have good quality videos and videos that people enjoy. It doesn't have to be millions, I would be fine with 10 but I want someone, someone to enjoy them.
- Marry Caspar Lee - Well, we are already engaged so...
- Meet (get ready)... Zoe Sugg, Alfie Deyes, Caspar Lee, Joe Sugg, Marcus Butler, Niomi Smart, Jim Chapman, Tanya Burr, Aspyn Ovard, AlishaMarie, Niki & Gabi Demartino, Bethany Mota, MyLifeAsEva, Meg (Maybaby), Ingrid Nilsen, Meghan Rienks, Tyker Oakley, Gabriella Lindley, Louise (SprinkleOfGlitter) and Sierra Marie.
- Meet... Ashley Benson, Troian Bellisario, Shay Mitchell, Lucy Hale, Tyler Blackburn, Keegan Allen, Ian Harding, Janel Parrish, Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort and Theo James.
- My Favourite Fictional Characters and To come to life: Hanna Marin, Caleb Rivers, Toby Cavanaugh, Spencer Hastings, Emily Fields, Aria Montgomery, Mike Montgomery, Finnick Odair, Johanna Mason, Scoot Machal (or however you spell it), Stiles Stilinski, Alison Argent and Lydia Martin.
- My Family and I to stay safe and happy
- To have a happy and successful relationship: Happy Marriage, no divorce, a caring man like Caspar and Caspar.
- To be healthy: Not necessarily go on a diet because I don't want to loose weight. More like eating healthier like not much junk. Yes I would still eat a bit of pizza, ice cream and chocolate but not as often. I also want to start working out like go on runs because apparently it releases tension and stress, I want to take Rosie on walks/runs more often and let's just admit workout clothes are pretty stylish.
- To be a successful photographer: I don't have to be a photographer as a career but I really want to be able to take great photos. I want to be able to go up to something plain and boring and make it look magical.

Chatty Talk Time | Not Posting & Birthdays!!!
Hey Beautiful Creatures, welcome back! SO the first thing I want to say/talk about is not posting. I did not post on either Sunday or Tuesday because I did not feel in the mood to write and I feel SOOO guilty but I don't feel like I NEED to post. I hate not posting but I try and post 3 times a week and 90% of the time you get that and every now and then you have to understand I may not post. On Sunday I was at my dads all morning then I went out for lunch for my stepdads birthday, I got back and just didn't want to write. On Tuesday I got home from school totally forgot about my blog post until like 7:30pm and I just wanted to relax and have some time with my family. I really hope this is ok with you and I know some of you may have been disappointed but I wanted to let you know that Im SOOO Sorry!!!
Now, On to some exciting things, tomorrow is my friend Hannah's Birthday and on Saturday she is having a sleepover with Summer, Molly, Kayla and I and I can tell you a lot will be happening. ALSO on Sunday it is Summers Birthday so make sure to go on her Instagram, twitter or blog which I will leave down below and wish her a happy birthday.
Im so (how many times can I say so?) sorry for this really short post but there wasn't much to say. I have 2 ideas for Sunday which I will probably end up doing one and the other on Tuesday again Im sorry but I will see you soon!!
Love you all xx
