A Few Things...

- First of all, I'd like to share with you one of my ALL TIME favorite things which happens to be a Dr. Seuss Quote :

Let that sink in...

Ok, so this quote is what I live by on a daily basis, it is actually the quote that made me finally actually write a blog because well, IT'S TRUE.  If you really think about it, the true people in your life will support you no matter what you do or who you become, they love you. Whilst others will just try to put you down and be negative, these people do not want your happiness. They don't matter.

Now, on this beautiful Sunday morning, I thought I'd pop into Carribou and snap a few pictures for you, as well as sharing some of the thoughts of this week.

- A snack that I am totally truly loving (which i got my friends also hooked on) is Carribou's Chocolate covered Pretzels. Okay so this is how I'm going to describe it :

The Chocolate surrounding the pretzel is a thin layer of dark chocolate, but the salt on the pretzel, once you crunch on it, it is the best combination you can ever taste. The dark chocolate does in no way overpower the biscuit, and yeah yeah I know what you're thinking, eew dark chocolate it's so bitter and blegh and nasty. But I honestly can say that you cannot taste any of that when you eat it. I for one am not a fan of chocolate whatsoever, but this, this hits the spot, with a side of tea... mmmhhm nothing better. Try it, I know u'll thank me.

- Can we just take a minute to admire how cute this "mug" is? As i write this, i keep eyeing it. I want it really badly, but my friend had a good point when telling me that this is an easy DIY kind of thing and not really worth the money.

Yeah so that is a cute thing.... 

Moving on !

- I've started to do this thing where I allow myself to just pause for 10 minutes, sit back and just do some deep breathing. This really calms me down and relieves some of my stress. I become more conscious of my lungs and i therefore am grateful for having them as healthy as they are. You should do the same, you won't regret it.

- This flower pencil. Look at it. It's perfect.

Not only do i love using it, I love putting it behind my ear which makes my hair look as though i'm on a tropical beach somewhere. Plus i love leaving the flower part sticking out of my bag as i walk around, it's the perfect spring accessory for any outfit.

I got it from Accessorize.

- Songs...who hates songs? Nobody that's who.

This week I have had 2 non-stop constant replay songs both by the same singer - John Legend. One is called - "Tonight (best you ever had)" and the other is "All of me".

They're pretty old songs, but i have recently discovered them thanks to my little sister. Now, I can't get enough! Tonight just puts me in the best mood, smiling and making me have a good day.

And can we just quickly talk about how GORGEOUS his wife is in "all of me"?? I mean WOW !! You are one lucky man john.

Well, That's all I have for today, 

I'm thinking about posting another post soon...a recipe maybe who knows.

Let me know what you think !

Song Of The week | Jason Derula - Marry Me

Oh My Goodness you guys, this song.. I mean come on !! its sooo  beautiful and meaningful and catchy and aahhhh.

I freakin' LOVE this song. I can stop playing it everywhere I go, my car my phone my laptop even in my head its playing on full blast.

Repeat, Repeat, Automatic non-stop repeat.

I would just like to say - Thank you Jason Derulo for this amazing song and for giving us girls hope that a guy could feel this way and making guys everywhere angry for giving them even higher standards to reach hehe.  This song is so right in so many ways.  It teaches what must be done first to be able to get married and shows what love truly is.

 

Did I mention that I love this song? yes well... I love this song. A definite favorite of the next 2 weeks.

 

 

Tv Shows | Current Obsessions

Ok here's the deal... i have been totally obsessing over 4 Tv shows.

 

 

For a really long time i kept hearing people talk so much about friends and how this show runs their lives and them quoting lines and remembering scenes.  Frankly i didn't like that and felt it was unnecessary. But i decided to give it a chance...

OH MY GOODNESS how funny and heart warming and relatable is this show ?!

I mean seriously !!

i finished 5 seasons in a week !! Its THAT good. Now i understand why people are obsessed with this show.

 

Definitely going to finish all the seasons and re-watch the episodes. One of my all time favorites.❤

 

 Another addicting show. I really like Sherlock Holmes and i have watched the movies but this.. its a whole different feel to Sherlock. Number 1, Watson is a woman and you can feel a connection between them.

Its quite serious compared to the other shows i'm watching but i love it.

Really loving this show, a real guilty pleasure of mine.

 

 

This.

I can't even begin to describe this show.

Hilarious + awkward = THE BEST COMBINATION EVER.

i usually watch an episode then i will re-watch it again on the same day because i will be thinking about it and rewinding the episode in my head and laughing like an idiot to myself. I think its even funnier the second time because you realize things that you didn't the first time you watched it.

Thank you Zoe Deschanel for this mood lifting show and i can't get over your cuteness.

I HIGHLY recommend that you watch it.

 

 

Last but definitely not least, Mr Will Smith.

I don't think that there is any person on this planet who doesn't love/enjoy this show.

A dash back to the 90's with comedy like no other.

Another 'pick me up' show that i can relate to and finished 3 seasons so far.

 

What are your favorite shows ?

I'd love to add some new ones to my watch list...any recommendations?

 

 

 

 

 

Book Review | "The Time Keeper"

 

 

So I recently purchased this book, the time keeper.

 

I must say, another AMAZING read !! I couldn't put the book down !!

Its fairly simple and very short because the writer would place just a couple of small paragraphs on one page (talk about wasting trees).

 

I finished this book in 3 hours in 1 sitting, enjoying every word, every event, every connection ! (hint hint about the contents of the book;) )

 

 

Not only is the story itself truly an enjoyment but the meaning it withholds...

It really got me thinking about how right it is that time really does control our life and that without time we would all be happier, not having a burden hanging over your shoulder or thinking about it constantly - probably more than anything in our lives.

 

So after reading this book (and since its still summer break anyway) i have taken off my watch and promised myself that i won't look at the time and just enjoy the day as it is.

 

ITS SO LIBERATING !!

 

I sleep whenever my body wants and i wake up with the sunlight hitting my eyes, my days have become longer and more fulfilling, i do so much stuff now wheather it be cooking or reading or watching youtube or even just relaxing.

 

I strongly suggest this book to EVERYONE people of all ages for them to really appreciate their lives and their time and the love they have.

 

Definetly a book that i will read every 2-3 weeks just to remind myself of the good things in life and the love I'm surrounded by and how much MY LIFE ,even though it may not seem that way, affects those around me.

 

I do hope you read it and tell me what you thought of it❤

 

I give it a 10/10.

Song of the month | Summer song

I know this is a random post but who cares its my blog :D 

[One republic's - counting stars] 

has totally taken over my brain .. It seems to be the only song that keeps getting stuck in my head every single day for the past 3 months !! Especially just when i wake up and just before bed. Does anyone have that as well? When a song just pops up at those times? Ugh annoying i know.

The weird thing is that when i first listened to it i didn't like it but after listening to it 3 or 4 times i realized that it is actually quite an amazing song ! The type that u keep replaying after every other song on your playlist.

Umm.. So i guess listen to it and give it a chance ❤ i'll put a link to it below if i cant figure out how to post the actual vevo video on here.

Hope everyone is having a relaxing summer ❤ and tell me what your opinions are or any other songs that you think i might like cuz I'm getting pretty bored with my playlist, i need something new asap.
