How To: Create Your Own Header

As some of you may have noticed I have a new header/background, not quite 'new year, new me' but more 'new year, time to update my blog design.' I like to update the design of my blog as it keeps things fresh and is (hopefully) something else to engage me readers!

I am currently on my third header now and it's probably my favourite one, I have a SERIOUS thing about the milky way/galaxy: the colours, lights, speckles of stars I just love it so I wanted to try and keep that theme consistent through my headers and I thought it was appropriate to my blog name too, specifically to 'MyW0rld.'

Here's my headers since I first started blogging:
So here's how I did it:

Firstly, go onto PicMonkey and click the 'Collage' section
Then, click on 'Ducks in a row' and select the one with three boxes
Save this 
Go back into PicMonkey and open up your blank collage
This is now your template for your design! I always add my text first, you can change the size and font of it
I then choose my 'Texture' aka background
Then add any extras you would like such as hearts or stars
Save this. Head to your blogger and go down to 'Layout.' Click the 'Header' box and remove your current header
Then choose your new header and tick 'Shrink to fit'
And there you have it, your new header!

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial chums and you found it useful!

5 Vegetables I Dislike

Source
A random post for you from yours truly. I was having a think the other day about what food I do and don't like to make dinners easier i.e not leaving a load of scraps on my plate when I'm 'finished.' I came up with just 5 vegetables - which I don't really think is too bad to be honest - here it is:

Beetroot
Parsnip
Bean sprouts
Sweet potato
Courgette

There, see didn't think that was too bad! Anyone else dislike these vegetables?

Review: Paddington

Source
The other day my boyfriend and I went to Bristol to soak up some of their Christmassy atmosphere, whilst there we went to The Vue to watch Paddington which I had been wanting to see for a while. We paid a little bit extra so that we had VIP seats which were leather, spacious and SO comfortable!

Although only a PG I fudging LOVED this film! I thought it was so funny (my secret inside childishness came out) and I loved how they made London look so lovely and scenic, from the streets of London to the tourist hot spots to the inside of the Natural History Museum it was cool to watch a film on screen with places I had been to and walked myself. 

Paddington himself was very cute and his clumsy ways reminded me of myself, his naive and innocent perspective and manner was very endearing too.

This is another film with a very good cast with Hugh Bonneville delivering some of the funniest lines whilst Nicole Kidman (who is one of my favourite actresses) was the 'baddy.' 

Have you seen this film yet?
