How To: DANCE RECESS!

Hello!

How are you feeling today? A bit down? You just can't wait for the weekend to start, I totally get that.

There is only one remedy that can help you get to the weekend then (and through it, if you're working like me) and that's this:

A Dance Recess

Directions of Use:

Find the best, dance-y, up-beat, feel-good music you can - I suggest something like Jessie J's Sexy Lady or Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass (or if you're not that keen on Meghan's original, Emblem3's version is amazeballs).

Put it on as loud as you can (without annoying your neighbours, obviously), if neighbours are a problem, then that's easily fixed; get your headphones out and blast it as loud as you can... without blowing your brains out.

The next part is easy; you simply get into the groove and dance your heart out around your bedroom, living room, whole house if that's possible, and you do the craziest, and obviously the best, dance moves you can - you can dad-dance as much as you like!

You will instantly feel refreshed and have oodles of energy to get you to the weekend!

Take as many doses as necessary.

This post was inspired by Charlieissocoollike's video on YouTube, which is probably just as much of a hilarious pick-me-up as seeing yourself crazy dancing around your bedroom is! So if you're struggling to get the dosage of crazy dancing just right, I suggest you watch his video (below) and he will show you exactly how it's done!

Music Crush #5

Hello!

This weeks song has basically been the anthem to mine and my friends weekend, so I thought it was deserving of being the fifth music crush!

Tiesto

Wasted (feat. Matthew Koma)

I think this song was on in practically every different club we went to on Friday night and it just became our little anthem of the night!

It's a real feel-good song, it reminds me of what a good night I had with my friends and all of the fun and laughter.

I'm not so sure about the lyrics mind. Personally, I don't like us better when we're wasted - some drunk people do some really stupid stuff and I witnessed a lot of it on Friday - but I get the way it's saying when people are wasted (although please don't get wasted - it's always nice to remember what you did that night!) they let go a lot more, so some people like it... If that makes sense?

Anyway, here is the song, it's a great, up-beat one and if you're having a bit of an I-can't-be-bothered-with-anything, down day then I think this song will really help!

What's your weekend anthem?

A Mid Week Pick-Me-Up #2

Hello!

I did a post like this last week and I really enjoyed it, so I thought why not do it again!

(If you missed last weeks then click HERE to give it a quick read).

When it gets to the middle of the week, I always feel like I'm need of a good pick-me-up or something to simply spur me on.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." - Vivian Greene

This is just an amazing quote, in my opinion! 

This, to me, just means don't let anything hold you back. If you have to do something new to get you to where you need to be then go for it, dance in the rain! I can't dance to save my life, I just look like a really awkward... I don't know... giraffe. I look like a really awkward giraffe. Yep. That about sums me up. It doesn't stop me from dancing though! In fact, I probably dance way more than any person with my coordination should...

I hear dancing in the rain can be pretty amazing too, although it probably results in one hell of a cold afterwards but it would be worth it! Don't let something as meager as a storm hold you back when it's something that you can make the most of and fight through, you just have to be willing to try.
