Some things I just can't get enought of.................

*Incense - its cheaper than scented candles and smells just as good. I also adore the way the incense smoke floats around (its kind of beautiful). Currently i am burning aloe incense. My favourites are vanilla and Sandalwood.

* Royal blue - I'm over pink for now...and totally into royal blue. It really seems to suit me too (probably due to my darker hair). I need a beautiful royal blue dress for spring/summer.

* Mint chocolate - This is by far my favourite kind of chocolate at the moment. Whether its dark or milk chocolate -if it has mint in it, I will love it (and I will not want to share).

* Flowers - In my opinion, nothing uplifts a space (or my mood) like a nice bunch of flowers in a vase. I absolutely would buy a bunch of fresh cut flowers every week if I could afford it - BUT Since I'm on the broke side I may have to climb into peoples gardens and "borrow" flowers. (multi coloured roses and Stargazers are my fav's right now).


* Stretching - I love stretching. It makes me feel great and has really been increasing my flexibility (i can touch my toes, hooray!). I seriously need to buy some Yoga DVDs or start looking for a yoga/Pilate's class to join.


* The book im reading - The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova is such an interesting book. I have not been making a lot of time to read lately, but when I do I so enjoy the journey this book is taking me on. It’s a bit dark, very detailed and probably not for everyone.

Random things.......

Right now I am drinking some nice rooibos (aka redbush) tea and enjoying the lovely gloomy weather

What is your dream job? Successful, published writer

Sometimes its much better to just go with the flow (and stop planning so much).

I like road trips I think they are a good time to catch up on chatting, music listening and photo taking.

I feel as though I am losing my mind - Its not official yet, but all the signs are there....just thought I should give you a heads up.

10 Things I Learned This Week-End

1. I seem to be turning into a crazed neat freak (i may need help)


2. I need to drink less caffeine - My caffeine "come down" is not very pretty.

3. I don't think I could ever give up toasted white bread.

4. I'm definitely a winter girl. For me, there is something inspiring and soul searching about cold, gloomy, rainy weather.

5. Wearing a lot of bangles & bracelets on my arm makes me feel awesome (i like the jangling sound they make)

6. Life is full of so many beautiful little moments -And if you stop constantly focusing on the future and rather savour the "right now" you will have a whole lot more of them.

7. Pepperoni pizza is one of the best midnight snacks

8. Afternoon naps can do wonders for your mood.

9. There is no point worrying about things you can't control

10. I can be bribed with a home cooked meal

Just My Thoughts

Right now I am craving... mint chocolate

Do you think the Loch Ness monster exists? of course

Last night....I had pizza, watched some of the Matrix and fell asleep on the couch for a while.

Song of the week..."Baby, Now that I Found You" by Alison Krauss

Currently I want... a new hair colour, a bigger bookshelf, a Polaroid camera, a pretty dress, a french manicure and a puppy

Today I really feel like reading other peoples words more than writing my own.

chocolate croissant or blueberry muffin? definitely a chocolate croissant
