Music Monday

Merrry Monday!!

As it's Monday  I thought I should share with you a recent discovery I made.

There's this band called 'The Head and The Heart'

Their melodic sound, meaningful lyrics and use of the violin are truly wonderful.

Check out their website here .

My favourite song is 'Lost in my mind'

3 reasons there's smile on my face...

1. It's 4 months until we make our way back to South Africa for a few weeks.
2. Autumn is a cummin'.
3. The new series of CSI:Miami is here and I'm totally hooked.  



Have a Cracking weekend

We all know and love songs about Friday .

You may know one that goes "its friday, friday. gotta get down on Friday." Or the other one that talks about "last Friday night" Anyway, whatever your weekend anthem is turn it up and sing till your hearts content.

Floral Fancies

With a love of all things vintage, pretty, bright and sweet there's an obvious reason to have a love for flowers and floral print. Therefore, Cath Kidston. I've known about Cath Kidston's work for ages but just haven't found reason to express my love for her entire shop -until now. 

On a recent trip to Dublin,(where shopping seems to be the only thing we do) I spent the best part of an hour admiring the soft, colourful, vintage-inspired floral prints the Cath Kidston shop had to offer, the end result? A very generous gift from my aunt, of a delightful, beautiful bold blue bag with stunning red and pink roses.

Yes, The Weekend Is Upon Us

This says it all. 

A Study Buddy

Exam season.

That period when butterflies take charge in your tummy, when coffee is the only thing that keeps you focused, when staring at the wall becomes interesting, when the littlest things distract you, when procrastination becomes a way of life, the list of exam season is endless.

Here are a few encouraging quotes I found :) 

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.
Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
- Marie Curie

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

I will study and get ready, and perhaps my chance will come

- Abraham Lincoln 

Never walk away from failure. On the contrary, study it carefully and imaginatively for its  hidden assets. 

- Michael Korda 

I wish my school books looked like these. 

It's the weekend !!!!

Have a great weekend :D
