Hey me,
How're you managing?

It's been a while, huh? I know the world seems a bit big and scary, but trust me, you haven't seen half of it. I haven't written to you for shit, I've written for you to give you some advice, because my god, you look like you need some!

First things first, about Mum and Dad. Tell Mum to use her brain and leave that hell hole. She doesn't deserve to live like that and nor do you. Her beautiful face is too fragile compared to his hard, unloving fists and her heart is too tender for his harsh words. Then tell her that the next few years are going to be hard, but give her a hug and a kiss from us and always remind her that she can do it. 

Now on to you. You're a sight aren't you? Anger management issues, depression, shit home life, shit school life. Everything's pretty shit, huh? I'm not going to give you some magical words of advice, because to be honest, I don't have any. Even at 14, which seems like such a big age at 12, doesn't it? But yeah, even at 14, I have nooo ideaaa how to do the whole "life" malarky. As I said in my anger management post, some days, I don't even want to get out of bed, because I just feel like crap, and I know that you sometimes feel the same, but just remember that every day you go out to conquer reluctantly, is another day you don't have to face again. I know that doesn't make much sense, but trust me, it's motivation. 

Now, I know the whole "my body is changing someone (preferably who isn't my Mum) help, what the fuck I know fuck, what am I meant to freaking do ahhhh" thing is terrifying, and trust me, it doesn't get better, it goes from being scary to annoying. Yes, one day you're going to wake up with red stuff in your knickers, but you'll get used to it. Yes, once a month you're going to get pissed at everything, but you'll get used to it. Yes, guys are going to break your heart, but you'll forget them. Yes, you'll get crushes and they won't realise your incredible charm (lol jokes), but again, it'll pass. And trust me, you will be played by those muddaf-ing pricks, but just, tip, don't try and hit them or shit, they are bigger and stronger than you, you will lose. I speak from experiance.

Just, try and manage life, even though they're all idiots, and they can't totally change your life. YOU are the one and the ONLY ONE who can totally change your life. (OMG I just had a cringe-attack)

Oh and good idea, the whole starting JustMeMatti, this is the best idea I've ever had :)

Hey all, how's you?

I've been thinking lately about how people change, and how things change. Mainly because I feel that over the past year or two, my music tastes have changed drastically. For example, when I was 12, I would love to jam to some Eric Clapton, Beatles or Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, because that was what my parents were listening to, and my parents were my main influence at that age.But even though those 3 artists were and are still some of my biggest inspirations in the music industry, when I was 13, I much preferred Techno, Electro and Pop. Mainstream stuff, because that's what my best friend and most of her close relatives (her, her brother and brother in law, her sister, etc...) listened to, and I spent most of my time with her, so it became mainly what I listened to aswell.

Then, recently, like, in the past 4 or 5 months, I've started (finally), finding my own style. I spent a lot of time this summer alone in my flat and that meant that I only listened to the music I wanted to, nothing that anyone else wanted to listen to. I call this my "selfish" period in my music taste finding. I was the only one who decided what I listened to. Of course, sometimes I'd flick through the music channels on TV, but we don't have many so I couldn't really watch much. Mainly, I found my tastes through Youtube. I've only very recently realized that I really enjoyed Ed Sheeran type music. Ed Sheeran has become one of those people that I really look up to in the music industry for various reasons. 

I feel like my change in music tastes have changed at the same time as my personality and character have changed. When I was a goody-goody-two-shoes back when I was 12, I listened to the music my parents like and deemed good songs. I swear I had nearly no modern music on my iPod when I first got it. Next, when I was in my kind of separative stages from my parents, when I learned that I could have opinions that differed from their's, I listened to the complete opposite of what they deemed "good music". Now, when I'm finally getting a grasp on who I am as a person and a musician, I feel like my music is varied, like my opinions. If I now scroll at random and choose a song in my iPod, I have as much chance of falling on an old hip-hop/rap song as I do to fall on an Ed Sheeran song, or even a song by Doddleoddle or Tom Law. My tastes in music have broadened and been moulded, and I've only recently realized that a lot of the music that I listened to when I was 12 have made their way into my tastes now. I mean, I'll now happily jam to a Beatles song, then swiftly moving onto an Eminem rap. 

I think I like that. But it's been a hard path to carve. I have a saying, that goes: "Instead of following the path that society carved for you, carve one for yourself. It'll be harder, but you'll probably like it more than the one society made." and lived by that for a good year and a half now, and it's true. Why am I making myself be someone or like something that society deems good, when it isn't me? It's pointless, all it'll make me is unhappy. 

Things are changing all the time in my life at the moment. How I speak, expressions that I aquire, expressions I lose, people I talk to frequently whom I didn't talk to at all before, people who I used to talk to all the time whom I never talk to anymore. It's a constant shift in place. 

Here are a few songs that I have loved and downloaded recently:
- I Don't Care - Cheryl Cole
- Ed Sheeran - Don't
- David Guetta - Dangerous
- Calvin Harris ft John Newman - Blame
- Charlie XCX - Break The Rules
- Fade - Lily Ahlberg
- Maroon 5 - Animals
- Ed Sheeran - Thing Out Loud
- W&W ft Blasterjaxx - Rocket
- Ten Walls - Walking With Elephants
- JC Cooper - Colour Me In Gold
- Afasi & Filthy - Bomfalleralla
- Adored By Him - Dodie Clark
- Black Skinhead - Kanye West
- Electric Pow Wow Drum - A Tribe Called Red 
- Eminem ft Sia - Guts Over Fear

I hope that can kind of demonstrate what I mean by diversity in tastes. I haven't heard many new raps recently so I didn't include many.

Aller Kiss,
Matti x

Hi Me,
How's it going?

How's your life going? Right now, your life has been better, but it's been worse too. Your anxiety is getting you down (how is the anxiety doing?) and your fight with depression is wearing you down too as is the stress of it all (what with GCSEs coming at the end of the year).You're anger management is much better, and you're trying to convince that mother of yours to let you go and see a specialist so that they can help you. You're struggling to accept the fact that all of a sudden, people want you to grow up and act adult. I can tell you now I feel like anything but an adult. I'm constantly getting nostalgia attacks (the question "why can't I just be a 2 year old again?" is a question I often ask myself), but I kind of feel like the knowledge that you get to have more responsibility and more independence is nice. How are you dealing with it all?


You thought you'd just started going out with a guy in your class, but actually, he was just trying to make his real girlfriend jealous; yes, there are still massive d**ks in your life. You got together on Facebook, age of technology, huh? You've argued with your other friends, but you've made up with everyone and that's made it a lot easier. You're very close to Clara too, even though, as usual, she drives you mad sometimes! Beatriz is fast becoming your best friend, even though it's kind of hard to talk to her about the stuff I used to talk about with previous best friends, but still, I'm really getting very close to her. 

I hope you've improved on your German, if not, have you started Italian? I'm doing okay with it but I could be better. How are you doing in Maths? You're useless now, and I wouldn't be surprised if you're not any better. Are you still at school? Did you do like Mum wanted and did your BAC? Or are you doing/have done your apprenticeship? I don't think you will have finished it yet, no? Are you still doing hairdressing and beauty? Or have you decided on something else?


How's the blogging going? Have you tried again with YouTube or not? I'm really enjoying blogging, it truly is becoming a passion.Everything about it, the photography, editing, writing, feedback, everything. How's your book coming on (for anyone reading this, I will tell you more about that at a later date!), have you given up on any of them? Have you finished any yet?


How's your relationship with Mum? Right now, we can be in the same room as each other without wanting to rip each other's heads off. I mean, I love her and god knows what I'd do without her, but she still drives me insane. I can't wait to move out. Have you moved out yet? Or not?


I still can't quite believe that soon, like in 3 years I'll be 16. It's quite terrifying if I'm honest. I'll be an adult soon too. Good god... Wish me luck!


Looking forward to hearing from you.

Lots of love
Me xx

Hey all, how's you?

I was recently given a Lush face mask called "Mask Of Magnaminty". It's basically a peppermint face and back mask, and I wanted to give it a go. I have just rinced it off and I wanted to share it with you!


I kind of enjoyed it, though I don't think I should have done it in Autumn because the peppermint makes your face go really cold, and the cold starts to burn after a while!!




It's quite hard to apply, I'll say that, but it feels sort of like a mud mask when it's more or less dry. I'm not really sure if I like it or not, it feels weird but it does make my skin feel nice and clean.
One thing that I noticed is that it's so strong, my eyes started watering!! I also kept feeling like I had a runny nose, but I didn't... I.. I just do not know... I'm sorry.




I think this is a good product for mid-summer when you're sweating buckets and just BEGGING for ANYTHING AT ALL to cool you down.


I give this product a solid 3/5 star rating.

Tell me what you thought of it if you have already used this product. Did you like it or not? Let me into your minds!! Haha


Aller Kiss,
Matti x

Hey all, how's you?

So I literally have NO IDEA what to write about. I'm not going to do a September favourites because I haven't loved enough things this month to write about so I'll probably do a September/October favourites or something like that. So here is 10 things you probably don't know about me!

Can  I just say how hard this was for me to write? I literally couldn't think of anything you guys already don't know about me! Then again, once things started coming to me, I couldn't stop!!



1. My favorite season is winter. I love layering, Christmas, hot chocolates and everything that comes with winter.

2. I have 3 homes. I used to live full time at my Aunt's house but now I live half at my apartment and half at her house, and then I also have my Dad's house.

3. I'm far more mature than I should be at my age.

4. I'm a stay at home person. I don't like traveling too far out of my comfort zone, and I much prefer to have a plan rather than just book plane tickets. I need to know where I'm staying and where we're going. Then I can have a good time! And if I don't have to go out anywhere, I don't go out!!

5.  I've never been to a concert or Disneyland for the simple reason that I've never had the chance to!

6. One of my favorite places on earth is Venice. I went there on a school trip and I absolutley fell in love with the place, then again, I don't think I'd mind anywhere in Italy!

7. I'm addicted to Snapchat

8. I get attached to people far to fast

9. I love Tumblr.

10. It's really easy to know when I have no interesting ideas for blog posts :p

Aller Kiss,
Matti x
