My merch collection | 5SOS | Clothing

Hey,

I have a nice sized collection of merch, I still want to expand on it but I thought I would share what I have with you guys so far. Today I am going to be showing you guys all the clothing items of merch I have. I am aware I have a lot of 5 Seconds of Summer merch. Also I am not going to write about each item.

The first item I actually couldn't take my own picture of because it is currently in the loft. So it's just a black and white beanie which has 5 Seconds of Summer wrote around it. I absolutely love this hat and to make it even better my best friend got it for me! Here is a link to it:

Next is this jumper (sweat top?) which I absolutely love. Honestly I don't wear it out the house but I love wearing it when I'm in my pjs or not going out anywhere (so basically all the time!). This was from Primark and my mom got it me a while ago. It is literally the most comfy thing I own! Its great to just throw on.

This t-shirt is really special to me as it was the first piece of merch I ever bought. I'm pretty sure I've had it ever since I started listening to 5SOS in 2013 but maybe I didn't buy this until 2014, I'm not certain. It is their old logo which I really like. This is so comforting to me. Not only is it the perfect bagginess which still looks good but feels amazing but it also has so much meaning behind it. Literally everything about it is perfect. I remember when I saw it in Primark and I freaked out!

At first when I saw this t-shirt I didn't like it but it began growing on me. This was actually the first time I saw the new logo so I just found it strange. But being the 5 Seconds of summer fan I am I had to buy it! Now I love it! I love how most of my 5SOS merch has grey backgrouds, idk why I just really love grey tshirts. Anyway this just has the skull but in its eyes and on the banners around the skull there is red and grey check/ tartan looking material. I really love the subtle colours. Also it's so cool how it looks like there is paint dripping down from it. Okay now I am just rambling!

Oh my is there a story behind this t-shirt. Strap yourselves in and get ready for this because I have a lot to say! It was a Friday which was the day before my 16th Birthday. My best friend (we weren't as close at the time) bought in my present to school. I opened it and saw this t-shirt and I literally screamed. No joke right there in the cafeteria I got it out and put it on over my uniform. As I was going to slfl with her I thought it would be cute to wear this. So this is the t-shirt I wore to my first ever concert.

Okay last one! I spent a very long time at the slfl merch stand trying to decide on which t-shirt I should get. I chose this one (which seemed to be the less popular one) as I liked the design better. Honestly I love this so much. I had been dreaming of having one of these type of shirts for years. Finally I have one! I love it so much! It means so much to me as it was from my first concert, the best night of my life. One of my favourite things to do when wearing it is to get people to try and find Birmingham on the back as that's the show I went to.

I hope you enjoyed this post of me rambling on about 5SOS, I do have a few other merch posts scheduled so you have that to look forward to!

Love you lots,

2 am ramblings

Hey it's currently past 2am and I was typing an Instagram caption but I wrote too much so I decided to put a blog post up with it instead. Hope you enjoy my 2am ramblings!

Its crazy the way that life plays out. If you had only said yes to that one thing then your whole life would've been different. I have no regrets in my life. Not one, because I am so happy about the place that my life is in at the moment. This is the happiest I have been in quite possibly my whole life and that is all thanks to @jessaraemusic The best memories I have had this year all involve him. Like my very first concert, slfl Birmingham, with my best friend. Every time I saw poppy since then we would always listen to Jess and it was the best time: my favourite singer with my favourite friend. I remember how I subscribed to him when he had less than 4000 subscribers and I have just watched him grow and grow, I couldn't be more proud. On this account you hear me waffle along about Jess basically every day and you may be fed up of it but to me it's been such an amazing use of my time. I have met some of the bestest friends I've ever had through this account and jessarae so shoutout to the Monday girls group chat! I know this year is no where near over and a lot could change by the end of the year but right now I would just like to say I have made my favourite memories I've ever had this year. So far of 2016 I have made myself proud. I went through literal hell these last four years and the years before that were no where near a normal level of happiness. I have crawled out of hell on my hands and knees and I have finally reached safety. I am here to say that it does honestly get better. I was so ill for so long (and believe me I am still ill, but better than I was) that I felt physically sick whenever someone said that as I always thought they were lying. If you learn anything from this ramble then I want you to know there is always hope, there is always someone there who cares. When I was down I would make Instagram posts with captions that were honestly heartbreaking as I felt so alone. I would get random people DMing me, commenting asking if I was okay. There's always someone who cares and if you think there isn't, there is because I care, I will always care. You can pop up to me anytime and I will give you the best advice I can. I know first hand that even just talking to someone can make you feel so much better. I am going to end of this worlds longest caption by quoting dumbledore (at least I think he said it): "there is always light even in the darkest of times if you just remember to turn on the light", at least it goes something like that!

Online Hate

Hey,

I have been sort of lucky in that I haven't really had online hate and I have only had a couple of instances involving people being inappropriate. However even I know how badly online hate can hurt someone and I don't understand why people feel the need to be mean. They say they are "only telling the truthful" or that they "have the right to their own opinion". Both of those things are valid but they don't give you the right to hurt someone else. There is a difference between being mean and telling the truth. Sometimes the truth doesn't need to be said. You don't like their hair, so what it's their hair not yours!

If something can be changed quickly (in five minutes) then tell them. If there's food in their teeth or something stuck in their hair help them with it, don't mock them. I think sometimes we get too into our own lives that we forget about kindness.

People find it very easy to be mean online as they can't see the victim, they can't see what effect it has on them. They can be completely anonymous. But it hurts them. It hurts to be told you are not good enough, to be mocked for something you can't change. People get violent online as they feel like there are no consequences. Online hate, cyberbullying, mean comments: they all hurt. They hurt a lot. I don't know if this is correct its just something I believe but I think the reason anonymous hate hurts so much is because you don't read it in the attackers voice, you read it in your own.

Please don't be mean to people. As Selena would say "kill them with kindness"

Things happen

Things happen in life that you could never imagine
 You go places you never thought you would go
 You meet people you would never have met before
 You make memories

 Life is strange thing
 You never know what will come your way
 You can never truly decide what you want to do
 Or know what will happen tomorrow

 So take chances
 Live life as if every day is your last
 Because suddenly,
 Everything could change
 And you'll never have a chance to do it again

 Kiss the girl
 tell your friends you love them
 Take a chance
 Do you thing you've always been afraid to do
Paint outside the lines
 Think outside the box
 Be yourself

 Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it
 Prove them wrong
 And do it

 There will come a time in your life
 A time when you can't do these things
 Don't live with regrets
 Make every day the best day

 Things happen in life that you are never imagine
 Good things
 Bad things
 Life changing things

 So get out of bed and tell yourself one thing
 That you can do it
 Even if every single bone in your body is telling you you can't
 Even if every single person you meet doesn't believe in you
 You can do it
 Make yourself proud
 Pushed the bad thoughts aside
 And bring forward the good
 If you believe in yourself that's the first step

 So  run like it's your last chance
 Dance like no one is watching
 Shout from the rooftops
 And follow your dreams

 Make today a good day
 Even if it's just a simple thing
 Like getting out of bed
 Push yourself
 And I believe you can do it

 Things happen in life that you will never imagine

Rambling about Jessarae | July favorites

Hey,

I can't believe that July is already over! Like where has the year gone! Usually I don't do favorites because I forget they exist but this month I remembered! I even wrote down my favorites throughout the month, look at me being all organised!

I don't know how you are meant to do favorites on a blog so sorry if this is bad

Food and drink

-Wrap-3015_640x428.jpg

Wraps: I have literally lived of wraps this past month, I have had a wrap virtually every single day for lunch and I have no shame in that because they're so nice and actually quite healthy compared to other options. Inside the tortilla wrap I put: Ham (sometimes chicken), Cheese (grated), Salad and cucumber

Water: As boring as it seems water is my favorite drink of this month. I have such a thrilling life omg! It's been too warm and I don't like drinking fizzy pop often so it's the only thing I have to drink in the summer!

Beauty

Feathers: Yes this is a beauty favourite... give me a minute to explain! I got these feathers which hung down from hair clips and they're so cool, I absolutely love them. I've only worn them a few times and people always give me a weird look for it but I think they're amazing! Plus it's summer so I feel like you can get away with stuff like this! They were really cheap aswell, I got them in a 5 for £5 at Claire's which meant they were £1 and they came with 2 clips aswell!

MUA lipstick: I've got to admit that I only own MUA lipsticks. They're really good, last a decent amount of time and are only £1!!! I currently own 4 in the shades: fawn fancy, lilac belle, shade 11 and shade 1, however I am planning to purchase some more in the future. My favorite is fawn fancy it's a really nice browny nude. The great thing is that you can buy colours you wouldn't usually as they're so cheap. 

Music

Jessarae: I honestly cannot put into words how much Jess means to me. His music has helped me through so much and he has saved my life. Every single one of his covers or original songs are perfect. His EP is incredible. He is such an amazing human being! I 100% recomend you listen to some of his music! He is so talented and his EP nobody's human means so much to do many people.

5 seconds of summer, girls talk boys: OH MY GIDDY GOSH, WHAT A TUNE! I played girls talk boys on repeat from the moment I got up until I went to bed for a solid 5 days! I absolutely love it! It is so good! I cannot understand how it is so good!!!

Film/ TV

I don't have a film favorite as I haven't watched a film for months. I don't even know if I've watched a film at all this year. On the other hand I do have a couple of TV favorites to share with you:

http://theselfhelphipster.com/wp-
content/uploads/2016/02/drag-race-
title.jpg

RuPaul's Drag Race (and anything related to it!): This is more like a yearly favorite than just a monthly favorite but particularly this month when I have had time to watch TV programs I have became obsessed with Ru and the other queens. I love it so much! I have even began speaking like the drag queens and I watch all their periscopes, I honestly think I've got a bit of a problem! It is basically a competition where drag queens compete to find America's Next Drag Superstar. It is hosted by the most famous drag queen, my idol, RuPaul Andre Charles. Each week the queens do a challenge and the person who is the worst is eliminated a.k.a told to sashay away. I will be talking more about this on another post!

American Horror story: since I've finished school I've managed to go through 3 seasons of American horror story and I have absolutely loved it! I've watched all the ones on Netflix so I need to find a way to watch the other seasons. I don't think this is particularly scary, Murder House is probably the scariest season but even then it's not that bad. It's more gory, well it's VERY gory. I love it though, I love horror films so this is so great for me!

Celebrity

This month my favorite celebrity is Jessarae. He's not extremely popular but he did support for 5 Seconds of summer in SLFL. He is an incredibly talented singer who is such a genuinely nice person. I didn't know until today but he is actually related to Steven R McQueen a.k.a Jeremy from the Vampire Diaries. I really suggest that you listen to his music. He has an EP released called Nobody's human which is so amazing! Jesse is 21 (birthday is June 5th 1995) and I think is originally from California but now lives in London. Oh yeah his real name is Jesse Robitaille by the way, even though I know most people just call him Jess. I know that his dad Luc has something to do with Hockey, his brother is an actor and I think his step dad is famous as well so he has a very famous, and talented, family. Jess plays a type of acoustic rock and honestly I feel like anyone could enjoy his music. I am pretty sure he started his music career at 16 after persuing his life long dream of being a singer. So that's the best I can sum him up! Just please go listen to him!

Experience

Meeting Jessarae: I warned you in the title that I would be talking about Jessarae a lot! I was not lying. On the 19th July 2016 I had meet and greet tickets to see Jessarae. This video is the only video which was short enough and small enough in MB to upload so you will just have to listen to my awful singing. We queued up to meet him and he was so nice. We had such a great conversation and he even recognized me from some pictures I had tagged him in. He told me about his tour with 5SOS and he said that my drawings were really cool! He hugged me and laughed at jokes I said and just made m feel so happy. It was insane how kind he was! I love Jess so much, he is the sweetest person ever! He recently followed me on twitter and tweeted about me. In the past he has liked loads of my tweets and all the way back in April he replied to my snapchat message! He is literally amazing and I can't put into words what he means to me.

Thanks for reading.

Love,
Scarlett xxx
