Hey loves. Sorry for the kind of annoying, random post out of the blue, but I need to politely get something off off my chest.
They say copying is the sincerest form of flattery. And that’s why I had to bring this up. Look, girls, I won’t be pointing fingers at anyone, but I am getting kind of tired of all the imitation. I try really hard not to do the same to others, but please, if I slip up by accident and you see an idea of yours on my blog without credit or permission, please tell me so I can edit!
However, if you are using a trademark idea of mine without asking, that’s another story. Honestly, I love it when I see my ideas all over our WP communities, but I loathe having them stolen. You guys wouldn’t believe how many ideas I’ve come up with that others have taken, therefore leading users to credit the wrong blogger. Things like Picture Perfect, On The Throne, Clickable Charms, my post introductions and one-worded titles are all things my brain came up with. (I do have screen-cap evidence for these statements.) And also, I’d just like to remind you that we’ve almost all been copied before, so the majority here knows how it feels. This is why I am just simply requesting those of you that still do it to stop, please. Besides, I know I’m not the only one that is getting bored of seeing the same stuff on every blog all the time. :/
Anyways, thank you for reading this. I know there are a ton of you that have always been super respectful of my ideas and I hope that I am treating you in the same way. There are also some of you that I have talked to in private and sorted things out with. But then there’s still some of you out there that refuse to face reality, so those are the people I am directing this message to.
My actual updates are on the post before this one, so be sure to check that out if you have not. The first two bloggers to comment will get an advertisement on Friday as well! Oh, and for all of you that are looking for new apps on your iWhatevers, I highly recommend ‘Surviving High School.’ it sounds like the cheesiest game ever, but trust me, it’s great! Lolol, more on that next Friday, my pretties. Toodles! ♥
There seems to be so many songs around the world written about paradise. And recently, I’ve become obsessed with the idea of a relaxing, lush or exotic sort of escape from reality. It’s a dream-like atmosphere that is basically what summer is all about; taking a break. (: So to start off the post, here’s a video for you.
Now, onto the post. So, what do you lovelies think of the make-over?! I know it’s probably not the best one you’ve seen, considering I’ve made so many, but I kind of love the simplicity and the color scheme of it! Thank you to everyone who helped recommend pages to put back up and ways to make the site even better than it was before. Also, we have all the people we need for the carnival, so I would also like to say “merci” to those of you the signed up. (: Participants will receive an e-mail in about two weeks telling them when the party will happen. (I’m thinking late August!)

up all night
The Pretty Committee and I had a fantastic weekend out together. It started off with our usual, Friday night sleepover which was done to the theme of the Tudor dynasty. We all wore dresses from the Renaissance and talked about our favorite people from that era (mine was Anne Boleyn!) We also watched “The Other Boleyn Girl” and had marathon of the “Tudors” episodes, which we will be continuing over the course of the next few weeks. For those of you that have seen both of the titles I mentioned above, which Natalie does a better portrayal of the execution, in your opinion? Portman or Dormer?
Saturday was our spa day, like always. The girls and I went shopping, off to Starbucks, and meditated in my mother’s new zen room afterwards. At night, we took out vanilla scented candles and slept under the stars! It was a very peaceful day!
And finally, on Sunday, we all woke up super early and hit the gym to warm up a little before we went out biking by the beach. It was absolutely the most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen. Listening to British music via our iPods (which I am currently addicted to! {Adele, 1D, Ed Sheeran}] made it all the more of an amusing experience. Oh; and the fact that there were tons of cute boys there didn’t hurt either. But then again, does it ever?
Speaking of boys, did I mention anything about my new interest? Well, I probably haven’t seeing, as I’ve been MIA on this site for about half a year. (lol) But no worries, nosy ones, in all due time, I’ll be blabbing away like always. (:

ho, ho, ho!
Unbelievable. It’s truly summertime; this means the unavoidable stress of final examinations, kissing your love goodbye, and saying sayonara to the school year that just passed. It also means the beach, new swimsuits, tons of spare time and no homework — except maybe a bit of studying I’m sure all of you will be doing over the next few months.
But you know what I’m missing? Call me greedy, but I wish it was winter right now. Is it just me or is anyone else in the mood for hanging up stockings, wearing pyjamas, drinking hot chocolate by the window, watching the snow fall on the ground like a pale white blanket and waiting for Santa to drop off some presents from your list under that infamous tree of ours? Don’r get me wrong; I can’t wait to jump in the pool and watch the sun set a little too late at night. I was just thinking of the good ol’ days when we’d bake our gingerbread, put up Christmas lights in our bedrooms and hang silver baubles and velvet ribbons all over the house. (:
Ha. Now I know I’m not the only one who slightly misses the holiday season! ♥

Thank you, my dears, for your never-ending support for OMEB, no matter where I go and how long I stay there.
