New Name... again?

This is the third time I have changed the name of my blog and to be honest I pity the you who actually take the time to type in my blog name as probably I have lost a few followers along my way as the URL has changed multiple times. To be honest I changed my blog name from www.dancingwhileitisraining.blogspot.com as you can already see that it is far too long and basically is a eye sore. I tried many shortened down names still related to the topic but it ended up they were all taken by blogs that were last wrote on in 2000 (seriously do you not think blogger should have shut them down already), therefore I decided to create a name which was relevant to me as this is my blog.
After around and hour of thinking I came up with the name Bluebell Island this is because when ever my sisters and I were only at the highest hip height we would go exploring in our uncles fields. One day during the summer we came across a little hollow or valley which was flooded with Blue Bells. Ever since then we have called it Bluebell Island. Bluebell Island is a place where imagination flowed and dreams came true. Even though I haven't been there for a right few years now it holds a lot of memories from my childhood,  it is very special to me and so is my blog therefore why not incorporate the two?
P.S. Tomorrow i am getting my hair highlighted and cut for the summer as it is looking ferocious and if I am happy with it I may put up some posts of it.

New Phone Covers

Hi Everyone,
My Main Christmas Present this year was my new phone (Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini) from my Mother and Father and because it is so new, lovely and clean I thought I best get a cover for it. So whilst I was scrolling through "Vintage phone covers" on Ebay, I came across some beautiful vintage inspired phone covers and I wanted to buy them all. I gradually narrowed it down to two as they were only £2.90 each and so I ordered them. Today the arrived in the post and I absolutely love them, I definitely want to get some more of them in the future. when they arrived I was very pleased with the packaging and to my surprise the covers came with screen protectors and a little cloth each as i was going to go and buy some screen protectors aswell as I don't want my screen to get destroyed with scratches and dirt. I am very pleased with my phone covers and i thought I should share them with you as I know sometimes it can be hard to find good sellers on Ebay or pretty Phone cases for that fact.

*This is not a sponsored post I just thought to share the cases with you and tell you where to buy them.

I Have Extended My Blog!

Hey Everyone,
You may be wondering what on earth does she mean by "extending her blog" but recently I have noticed my blog has been quite boring, so after a little bit of brainstorming I have decided to branch it out a bit and open up some doors. One thing I love doing so much is Baking and over the past while I haven't had time to do much baking as I have been very busy, but since it is getting closer to Christmas I have started to do a little more baking at home. I have decided to start featuring different blog posts every so often on my blog and letting you into some of my favourite recipes. I hope you like my new idea and I can't wait to see how it comes along!
See You Soon,
<3

Hair Update!

Hey everyone,
Today I went to the hairdressers and I decided because of the fact that the weather is getting colder I should change my hair. I decided I would put a few darker colours through my hair to not give it so much of a "white" look!
I actually quite like it, what do you think?
See you soon,
<3

Recent Purchase

Hey Everyone, 
Recently I was shopping in Tesco and I saw some glade candles on promotion so I decided to pick one up.
The candle that I chose was part of glades new limited edition winter collection and mine is the scent blackberry frost. I had quite a tough time trying to choose the candle that I wanted because the all smelled so good.
I have not yet burnt this candle but even just sitting it on my bookshelf is leaving a glorious smell in my room. One thing that I am afraid of is the fact that it does not have a lid which means the smell could gradually leave it but only time will tell.
After I have burnt the candle a few times I will get back to you on some of the pros and cons of it and of course if I fall in love with it, it will definitely be in my monthly favourites.
See You Soon,
<3

Dancing While It Is Raining?

Hey Everyone,
I know this is not on schedule but I just thought I would tell you why I have decided to change the name of my blog!
For a while now I have been thinking of changing the name of my blog because I just thought "Grainnes Life" wasn't that interesting and wouldn't catch the human eye, so I have decided to name my blog after my favourite quote:
I couldn't get the name exactly on point because the were all took up so in the end up I had to call it "Dancing While It Is Raining" Which I am very happy about. I just love this Quote because it is about making the most out of life no matter what the situation is which I believe in truly!
As you may know my blog has been going under a lot of changes recently I just want to make it perfect and I am gradually getting there but there is a while to go yet, if you have any ideas of what I could do I would love to hear them and I will take them all into consideration.
P.S. My one direction tickets came yesterday and I cant wait for the concert eeekkk.

Hope you like the new name!
See You Soon
