Be Positive.


Firstly, how cute is this picture! 

Everybody goes through phases of being negative in their life, whether it's to do with school, family, friends, relationships... Anything, we can always put a bad spin on things in our heads if we're not having a good time in our lives. We need to start appreciating the things that we do have instead of dwelling on the things that we don't have. I for one definitely need to change the way I think about things some times. 

Lorin at Curiously Lorin has set up a great idea of a Unicorn Campaign to get us to take more steps in life to be more positive in our everyday lives. The Unicorn Campaign is a symbol of happiness and will remind us to appreciate life a little more and to make us remember life doesn't always suck - It can be amazing. You just have to let it be amazing and yes, sometimes things go wrong but always try to look on the bright side. 

To begin, 3 things that make me happy. 

Family - I suppose we have never been the closest of families but as I've grown up I've realised they only want the best things in life for me. After making a lot of wrong decisions in my teenage years (and a few since), they have always been there, being supportive and helping me along the way. 

Friends - Let's be honest I don't have many friends, I've always been a shy person so I didn't come out of school with many friends, just a small group who I don't talk to anymore. I have two best friends and they are the most amazing people and I'd rather have them in my life than lots of friends that I don't or can't trust. 

My Mother - Now I know I've said family but my mom really is something special. She is the rock in our family; she can always make me smile no matter what has happened. She's done so much for my sister, my brother and I, and I don't think there is anything I could do in the world to thank her enough. 

So, to join in and what to do.

Copy or save the unicorn button.
Share 3 things that make you happy and ask them to do the same.

Behind the blog.




Found this cute little tag at Pale Girl Reviews blog, I thought I'd do it for myself. 

NAME, BIRTHDAY & LOCATION?
Victoria Louise Keeling. Feels like the longest name ever when putting it on job applications. Birthday - 7.8.92 and living in the West Midlands. 

WHERE DID YOUR BLOG NAME COME FROM?
Originally my blog was called Perfect, I'm yours - Horrible name for a blog but I made it around 2008 and was young. But I changed it last year to What a Little Pickle, the reason for this, Ashley calls me his Pickle and I'm short. Simple enough.

A FEW THINGS ABOUT MY APPEARANCE
I'm 5'4, and currently have shortish red hair but it changes constantly. Going to stay red for a bit though I think now. I have 6 tattoo's, but 4 are always covered so you'd never know they are there. My eyes are 3 different colours if you look closely, grey, brown and green. 

A FEW THINGS ABOUT MY PERSONALITY
I instantly know when I meet someone if we'd be good friends. I always go with my heart over my head. After spending time with loads of people I like to be on my own for like a whole day, just doing whatever I want to do, I like to be on my own. I'm kind and I like to think I'm creative. 

RELATIONSHIP STATUS?
I've been with Ashley the past year. He's my best friend.

ANY PETS?
One pussycat, Mr Oliver Keeling but I want to get a hamster... Maybe soon.

BEAUTY ITEM ESSENTIALS?
Any nail polish, foundation & eyeliner. Hardly ever catch me outside the house without eyeliner.

LIFESTYLE ESSENTIALS?
Ipod, Crisps and comfy jogging bottoms for being in the house. 

SIGNATURE PERFUME?
For the past two years I've had Britney Spears - Fantasy. But I fancied a change and this year I have the One Direction perfume. Now I know I'm not a huge One Direction fan but the perfume is so nice. So, no judgement.
Also the Charlie Pink perfume for everyday.

WHEN I’M NOT BLOGGING I AM...?
Painting my nails. Watching films. Watching Sex and the City. Listening to music. Looking for work. Trying to read the Harry Potter books. Watching Youtube videos. Instagraming. Spending time with family & friends.

Beauty Things I Suck At.

5 Beauty related things I am awful at...



Plucking my eyebrows.
Now I wouldn't say I'm really bad at doing my eyebrows, I just hate doing it! It takes too long, it hurts like hell (I know your eyebrows are meant to go numb from the pain eventually when you've been plucking them so long, it's been four years! Why you no numb!), the only good light in the house to do it is the bathroom. They are sneaky, one day you'll think "Having a good eyebrow day" then you'll go into a room with good lighting and you look like you're growing a hairy caterpillar down your face. Not a good look. But it hurts!

Sticking to a skincare regimen.
I am absolute rubbish at this, in fact I'm awful at taking my makeup off at night in general. I nearly always forget, which I know is so bad for your skin. 

Filing my nails. 
My nails look so wonky all the time and I cannot file my nails to save my life. Really need a lesson in this. Three of my finger nails on each hand are squared and two on each hand are circled, what's the deal with that. They don't look too odd to other people, but I know!

Putting on sun cream.
I know this one only applies for the summer and I know we only have a little summer period in the UK but I am rubbish at remembering to put it on when I'm going out for the day in the sun. I always remember when sunbathing but if I'm going out then I never remember and I don't go brown to make matters worse, I'm pale so I burn. I burn so I look like a strawberry for a few days, then I peal so I do not look good what so ever.

Lipstick/Lip care.
Lipstick - Just no, does not work. Whenever I wear a colour which doesn't match my natural lip colour at all I just look like a clown. My lips just look huge.
Lip care - My lips get so dry and I always forget to put a lip balm on. I have a habit of biting my lips too much when they are dry instead of doing something about it.

What's On My Tablet...

Now normally the tag for this would be 'What's on my phone' but with my current situation of ending my contract with a broken phone and at the moment using a really old iPhone that I can't do nothing with because the software won't upgrade, I will be showing you what's on my tablet instead. 






I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 & I love it, it's nice and heavy which I love. It does everything I need, who needs an iPad ay! My case originally was just a lime green flip open case but I'm not a fan of the colour so I decided to doodle on it.I have four different pages on my tablet, if you have a Samsung phone/tablet then you know what I mean. This is my front page, it has a cute picture of Billie Joe Armstrong of course. Then my most used App's including Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Bloglovin and Snapchat. Also I have a countdown timer of when Ashley goes away for his Navy training. Only 24 days to go...



This is my main App page and I have way too many games on here. So I have:
  • Zedge - To change alert sounds, currently I have a Wall-E one.
  • Instasize and Photo Editor 
  • Ebay and Amazon 
  • Personal Diary
  • Just Eat and Met Office
  • Pinterest
  • Cartoon HD and TV catchup. Cartoon HD is so good by the way, get it! You can watch all your old favourite cartoons like Pokemon, Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Recess, Fairy Odd Parents, Family Guy, there are just loads to choose from. They also have Disney movies! 
  • And a mascaraed of games... Flappy Bird, The Sims, Little Things, Pikachu Classic, Office Story, Traffic Race, Dumb Ways To Die, Find Objects, Subway Surf, Minion Rush and Odd Socks. 
Also on that page I have the YouTube Widget and a Minion battery watcher. (You'll be glad to know my tablet is on charge now.)




Just a random page of a few of my favourite pictures I have on my tablet. A few of me and Ash, picture of my Winnie the Pooh book, few nail designs, Billie Joe again, me and a friend and an old picture of my Nan and Grandad.



Not very interesting but the last page has a calender on and I document everything I do on the different days.



Lastly I thought I'd put in a picture of my Instagram if you'd like to go and follow as out of all the social media platforms, I like this one the most and use it the most.

Do this post too and comment when you've done it. Love being nosey on these posts.

Hii Lovely people, hope you're all doing well.

7. Favourite Book...
The Twits by Roald Dahl. Even thought about buying this book recently because it was just so good.

Jelly Shoes, they were such a disgusting fashion trend & strange to think they've just come back into fashion, for adults. 

14. Favourite Collectible...

15. Favourite Beanie Baby...
Oddly enough it was a dog called Spunky & also a Bear called Lacey.

I tag all of you to do this, I love thinking about all the cool things I did as a kid. So many memories.
