A Millionaire's Party

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

I promise I'll stop soon and tuck my joy quietly in a box, but just for one more day I'm still celebrating. Last week my YouTube channel reached 1 million subscribers and if you think I was happy (oh man I was so happy), it was nothing compared to my family!

My Dad and Tina (stepmum) threw me a last minute party on NYE with all our relatives from both sides and a few friends too, champagne, balloons, food, cakes and candles. It really means so much to me to have such a supportive network of people that are as pleased for me as I am. I am very blessed. 

I must apologise for some of the shots being out of focus, my little sister isn't quite familiar with my new camera! 

I spotted these balloons as we drove up to the house and was overwhelmed at how much effort they'd all gone to. I thought it was going to be a glass of bubbly with the famalam but nope, a full blown party with giant inflatables instead! Yippeee!

 Woop, Dad cracked open the special bottle!

Sneaky little candid shot there. 

My little lady who thought the party was for her and delighted in having cake before dinner. 

French Fancies which I am re-naming 'Darcy's Delights' since she loves them so much. I may buy her a box especially soon and have a tea party with her. Little girls are the best!

She might not have been feeling it but I certainly was!

My Dad did a really funny speech about the number 1,000,000, Tina kindly cooked up a feast of nibbles, family travelled from a far, bubbly was drunk, kiddies played, friends laughed, it was the BEST. 

I know I'm not the first to reach this milestone and most definitely won't be the last, but to me, it was such a special moment and I am so thankful that my lovely peoples understood and celebrated with me.

So, one last time, yay a million! The end! Haha.

Have you celebrated anything special lately (for yourself or someone else)? Tell me in the comments so that we can all celebrate with you. <3 p="">

Toodlepip!

Thanks a MILLION

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Last week my beloved YouTube Channel hit a massive milestone - One Million Subscribers. 

WOW.

I couldn't not make a video to share my thoughts on the achievement and ended up really having a good old chitchat. If you didn't see it on there, here it is for you to catch up on. 

If you would like to subscribe to my videos, to ensure you never miss anything, HERE is a direct link to my channel. Thank you!

If you're interested in sticking around, on this day in 2013, I blogged about THIS and in 2012 it was THIS.  It's nice to look back. 

Toodlepip!

A New Year, A New Me?

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

According to THIS post at the end of last year, my 2013 resolutions were to stress less, thrift more, edit less, diy more, weigh less, travel more and spend quality time with Baby Glitter. I can safely say that I did about half of those. Time with Darcy, travelling and stressing less were definitely accomplished but loosing a stone, being thrifty and sorting my house out fell weakly by the weigh side. 

Well, with a new year comes a new start and once again I find myself making resolutions and hoping that this will be the time I do them all. Do you do that too? I hope so!

(Unfocussed but happy. A common theme to my life!)

In 2014 I hope to -

Get Fit. I want to put better foods in my body and feel more energetic. Pretty simple really once you have the will power (which I never do!).

Blog Better. I'd like to be putting up 3 blog posts a week that I am proud of and promote them properly. I also want to give it a little makeover and freshen it up a touch. 

Adventure. From reading blogs and watching other people's travel videos on YouTube, I've got the itch to see more of the world and this year I hope the Glitter Family can do that. 

Organise. My office, my wardrobe, my laundry, my life. 

Review. I used to publish so many reviews and now I hardly do any. I'd like to get back into that because I think they are useful and interesting. 

And that's what I'm sticking with. As a small motivator I'm going to do regular updates on the resolutions and keep you in the loop of how I'm doing!

What are you goals for 2014? Did you stick to your 2013 aims?

Toodlepip!
