DAY 30: ONE. MORE. DAY

As Halloween draws closer, within a few hours, or now in some countries, my motivation for Halloween posts, have somehow, gone out the window.

I only had this day and tomorrow to go, but no, my "brain" has abandoned me. Fair enough.

Anyway, let alone this, I've done more than I thought I would have done. However, don't expect much for tomorrow.

Although, here are a few things I've been loving.

A few helpful things I've seen:
1) YouTube
Favs: Channel Mum, Freshblush, etc.
2) Shops (glimpsed)
3) Blogs (need to find more, I guess I was late, of course)

Further Ideas:
- implementing (using as your own, or in a different way) crafts ideas, from a book, magazine, website, etc., and placing as a theme for Halloween

Resources:
- books - library, or brought
- blogs
- online - collectives, or stores

Hope these little things I've been viewing, will help to increase your creations for Halloween.

Get Cutely Spooky...or Get "Toned Up" this year.

My Theme: The New Tone, 2015
- if I were able to create an outfit;

1) Light Pink Tone Top
2) Faded Headband
3) Light Blue Wide Leg Trousers
4) And Jacket...I would have light orange, VERY light

5) shoes, I would say, light blue, but plastic

Hope you loved my imaginative look. I'll try find them, now I feel inspired. Lolls.

Take care.

= Halloween has to come soon. Excited, and feeling "free". This challenge has drained me, and was exciting at the same time.

= I should have listened to myself, and did a couple of days of Halloween. My fault. My bad *weary smile*.

= I seriously could give stories to you, phew.

Day 28: Three. More. Days.

I'm so excited right now. It is coming up to Halloween, but nearly the end of 31 Days Of Halloween challenge.

* I've not been showcasing this much, but I had a campaign on.
Called: Speak And Say The Words #2 [link] - (on justgiving.com).
- this is still in aid of Mind - Mental Health Charity, and everything, and 'Gift Aid' goes straight to the charity. That'd be donation.

Daunting word, wish it could be more softer, like "helping hands" or "you'll help so much people", kind of word.

* I was doing a post yesterday, for superstitions, but I realised throughout the past week, I never give myself time from doing normal things, like watching programmes, relaxing, etc.
Cooling down the mind.

* So, Halloween is coming, and I'm so glad. I don't know whether for my mentality side to cool down from the challenge, or just the gladness to see it arrive.
My ideas have come so far, with missing dates, that's normal.
I guess I said it already, but I will still try to showcase the rest of them, because I really like, 1) being creative, and 2) I have my " spooky times" all year round too.

So, practically nearly everyday is a spooky day for me. Nothing wrong with that, is there...? *sideward mouth*

Anyway, just an excitement post, and round up of missed showcases to updates.

Take care all.
xImmortalMindsx

* I'll update this post in time. I wanted to post it, due to useful info/excitement.
Take care all again.

DAY 26: SEWN: THE OUTFIT OF WOLRDS

I created a video [link], showing the process of how I created one of the doll's outfit, for Halloween.


* The Outfit Of Worlds:
I came up with this idea, of any tribal or supernatural beliefs, that happened throughout history. I would say Aztec to Amazonian. [Only from past views, than remembering the years these happened].

Feel free to view the video [here], and the artwork/photography of the outfits [here].


Thank you.

DAY 25: BLOG: SPOOKY DAY COLLECTIVES

Edited With: PicsArts

***


* Using Clipart, creating a repetitive pattern. BACKGROUND IMAGE for YOUTUBE.


* MAIN LOGO for this blog.


* BACKGROUND for channel art, cover art, etc.


* Graphic without the text. Main background.


* Created for the main logo of the challenge. I didn't manage to use, only due to not getting the same font.
Plus, I may have forgot, or would already showcase an image for the post.

* If I were to do it again, I would do it as:

* As a draft, than official.

[IMAGE LINK]

* Actual Design, Pumpkin MAIN IMAGE. 

EQUIPMENT: plain paper + oil pastels

Creating the graphic for Halloween, allowed a new theme from this challenge to the blog itself. I haven't done this for any past holidays.

DAY 24: LET'S TALK...

Features within the video.
Edited With: PicsArt

...well today goes to editing and re-uploading DESIGN: HALLOWEEN WEDDING [POST LINK] [VIDEO LINK].

I allowed myself to spend the day, doing my best to allow the image(s), to look better than yesterday.

Yesterday, I edited how I would have liked, but exporting it, into an actual video, made it less viewable, however I'm lucky to add description. It. Looked. Awful.

Throughout it, the designs came out better than I thought of.
I love the stories/concept behind them (Halloween 2 - The Story [link]), and to have them now shared in time, before Halloween is a blessing. Thank you Lord.

Being a pain that the video yesterday, didn't come out how I would have liked it to, the details (text) and some images, came up better in the video RE-UPLOADED [link].

Feel free to have a view. Thank you.

DAY 23: DESIGN: HALLOWEEN WEDDING


+ DAY 24: DESIGN: HALLOWEEN WEDDING (EDITED + RE+UPLOADED)

I done a video on Halloween Wedding designs [VIDEO LINK].

Equipment: Biro Pen

* For the SWAMPED + BEACHED hair (as said on video description), I was inspired by Klairedelysart (YT LINK) video. I did this for the hair design.

For the other designs, these were done by dressing up for Halloween. Either wear - to put on as normal, or non wear - just for dressing up, can't be worn as normal. Ha.

I don't know what else to say about these looks, but they each have their own story [here].

Feel free to say what you think about them.

Update: xImmortalMindsx Is On The "Walk" Again...

*WARNING: Maybe long. Get your tea, biscuits, etc.*

A POST TO SET THIS OFF:
[Living, Writing + Posting: Lifestyle: Out Of Place]: [link]

The "Walk" (not the movie), is like discovering, to my mind being absent, from what I should be doing.

This is first what I wanted to get out from doing the Halloween challenge in a good way, and second shows whether I can do the Challenge. So, this is slightly the result from that. Me, doing these updates, testing my mentally, to how creative I can be (using the talent I know).

I share this post here (above), because of how I've been feeling for the past days.

Plus, my inner thought just reminded me of my name - xImmortalMindsx.
Why I chose it, can just be explained half for Halloween reasons and how I love immortal things. (Even if I know in religion now, it is classed as bad things, not to do it, but of unnatural things). Doesn't make sense does it?

This post is expressing this, and I'm fine with it.
To explain, September, I planned all these Halloween posts (31), and even over the amount to this day.

I have so much to share, but like I always say, due to my illness I have to limit myself, or it limits me. - severe migraine + depression. [I said how many times I'm going to explain how or why I have this illness, have I done it? Nooo].

Anyway, before I go on my stories, I just wanted you to know this. I wanted to show the inner workings of my mind, and I wanted you to know how it can be different to everyone else's.

I am different, and I know this, but I've always wanted to showcase it in another way.
If I can't show or tell people physically, then I'll do a collection, as a blog(s).

I found it again.
I know who I am, what I can be and what I can do.
I just have some things that stop me sometimes, and that's OK.

If this blog doesn't make sense, then it's ok. I love that, and that is me, the nonsense one.

xImmortalMindsx expresses me, and my mind for immortal things. 1) I love the creation, 2) it's not my real name, of course, but I created it years a go, for YouTube mostly, just glad I can use it for Google, and 3) it showcases the inner workings of my mind as said.

I'm being honest, but I feel I'm not being honest enough, again I'm sure I said it before. 

I love when MY blogs go to the extent that it gets into nonsense things. I go off topic sometimes, but that's alright. I bring it back to a conclusion at the end.

I've always wanted to write everything, but I forget what my blog(s) are truly for. They're for me, from me, and extra, for you to view.

I know some others may not like it, and I love my followers or anyone who reads this blog (2 followers. Let alone I have an "addition" to make).

2 years I've been constantly, as I can, showcasing which I call it towards blogging, and I'm grateful I can take courage to use this platform to showcase anything. Why did I forget that? (Jeez, I'm really on a walk).

My walks from childhood, teenage times to now have been sketchy. At the end I always realise I have to be myself, I have to take pride in what I do, I need to love my changes to my changes that make me happy.

I get oppressed A LOT. From childhood to now, I'm really fighting to stay as myself.

Like I said in a last post, I get misunderstood a lot. So, maybe that's why others (not now) see me as a "threat", (whatever that means).
When I'm quiet, I'm quiet.
When I can't take it anymore, I tell what is on my mind, because it effects me in a way, that I feel is not natural.

This blog it turning into a story, and I hope I remember to put that at the start.
[I love YouTube vids for 1hr. I watched a 3hrs one yesterday, by Geek Remix. It was intense, and I mean the content not watching it. I guess we may forget there is a pause button to play button, lolls...same here. Guilty!].

Anyway, I do hope this post makes sense. If I didn't check over for myself, I would press 'publish'. Phew.

I'm sorry again. But I needed to get myself back again. I guess thanks to the Halloween challenge + others. I'm grateful.

Calculation time...bear with me, if there'll be another post.
Take care for now, excitement overload.

xImmortalMindsx,

Update: Share To Compare

Yesterday, I missed Day 18 [link].
I did most things I needed for it, but my mind went 'bies' (bye).

So yesterday, I had to relax and allow my brain to calm down because, I can say my mental state wasn't the best to do work. Besides that, I allow that day, to be a designated day off (Sunday). - my brain was fine last week.

Anyway, if you were here for that day, apologies, but is it now posted, so no worries.

My mind is 'still not focused', so I'll try to do two posts when able to, to catch up with the days missed.

However, women (and some men) will know what I'm going through right now. So, I'm more sluggish and I experience a dream world WAY to much in these occasions (lolls).

Take care all.

This doll is (Princess) Colleen.
This design was from The Good Witch: Moss Witch [link].

Equipment: Paints + Recycled Clothing

DIY: the hat is made from loose cloth, and shaped with card. I sewed the hat into the card shape, and this is the accessory - The Good Witch [link].

* The doll's hair has gone short. I was combing it, and bit by bit (made of plastic/if you know, or don't know, when you keep plastic for years, in wears away), it started to shed. So, now she has a new look...not the design.

Update: My Mentality

I'm struggling with my mentality at the moment. I don't know whether to say this or not, but it's of loneliness.

* I didn't want to express my feeling of loneliness, due to reactions. But, I guess, honest words have to surface (telling the truth, to express the true feeling).

In other words, I don't know where everyone may be, or I feel bad, because of the actions of others.

With me, I get misunderstood a lot, A LOT. I guess it's from assumptions. But I always feel like I'm in the wrong.
I don't know whether to feel sorry for it, or to express the truth of how someone/people may take it.
Anyway, in my other mind, it feels like "playground stuff" if you understand what I mean.
I'm surrounded by adults now.

I don't know whether my posts, or comments, make sense, but I try so hard. I'm always scared. Just fear from what others may think or say to me.

I am afraid.

For posting right now, I cried before this, (I'm fine, no worries). But that's the fourth time in a week.
Otherwise, all I keep saying is, "don't blame yourself".

I try.

And just like the 31 Days Of Halloween challenge, I do love it. Otherwise, underneath I'm not coping with my life at the moment.
I'm not in a bad state, I'm trying to avoid it, and I do seek help, etc, etc., but I'm at the stage whether to "delete my life" (get away from social contact, etc.), and " get away" from people who assume than support, if it makes sense.

If You're New Here, (hiii!):
To mention, I have severe depression, and I could feel myself getting "back to normal again". This is one setback, loneliness, I've not experienced greatly, but I question if it could have been avoided?

Maybe, so yes and no.

Loneliness effects my depression, like a hollow in the chest. It makes your heart feel heavy, or light, and my brain gets overwhelmed by emptiness from no one.
There could be a lot of people to go to, but I've contacted I would say, but no success. So, I seek the help I know.

I want to be honest, and say they sounded the same a little bit, like from when I was a teenager, but they're following protocols. I was in a bad state, so, yep, ask away. All I wanted to do was to contact someone, who does care, and to reply back. It helped a lot. It made me feel free (no worries, telling my problem) from the burden.

I do feel hollow, but I'm at the stage where I try to move from it. I'm finished with bad feelings that, I'm left with, when I'm not to blame.

* I've learnt this 3 times, now this is the 4th time.

I'm finished.

Thank you if you read this. Very different from my challenge, but this is me "Posting...".

I thought to showcase this video, because I liked how they showcased their own style, and how natural clothing could go with the looks of the faction(s) - sounds weird what I just said, even more if you've not read, or seen the book(s)/movie(s).

Day 2: McCoy's V ASDA Baby Lotion

* Today, I was having difficulty whether to review the McCoy's Crisps, or the ASDA Baby Lotion. REALLY TERRIBLE!!
Otherwise, here it is:

Favourite: McCoy's Thai Sweet Chilli/McCoy's Thai Sweet Chicken

Available as a set, with Mexican Chilli + Sizzling King Prawn, it is strong, but nice to taste.
When I say strong, the flavour, never mind the 'chilli', lights up the taste buds

- Rate: 7/10

ASDA: Little Angels - Baby Lotion

For the autumn weather, it soothes and moisturises the skin, feeling it for hours.
The downfall is, it may feel pasty, however the skin feels intact (whole, all together)

Recommended:
• ASDA The Skin System Aloe Vera Body Lotion [if avavailable]
• ASDA The Skin System Cocoa Butter Body Lotion

- Rate: 7/10
