101 in 1001 update

Busted! I couldn't think of what I wanted to write today so I copied Eva's blog idea hehehe thanks babe!

Currently in progress!

1. participate in a 'photo a day' challenge - I've been doing this via Instagram and Jan fell to the wayside a bit... So I'll start again in Feb and get it done!

17. Start exercising regularly
18. Start doing yoga
These 2 go hand in hand. I've attempted to start exercising regularly by doing yoga and other fun things... I was doing really well until I've had a week like this where the earliest I got home was 9.40pm... Once I stop being so busy, this will be a lot easier!

24. Try a new recipe every week - I'm doing this! Last week I made breakfast muffins which were super awesome, can't wait to find something for this week :)




70. Update my blog at least once a week - this speaks for itself :) You'll be sick of me soon!


101. Buy new makeup and use it from start to finish - it has been purchased and currently in use :) I love doing makeup, on myself and other people, it's a great form of expression and it makes everyone feel pretty!




COMPLETED! - Always happy to mark something off a list!

77. Have dessert for dinner - I stayed at my BFF's place on the weekend and we had pancakes for dinner covered in whipped cream (the whipped cream went straight into our mouths more than on the pancakes...)




A bit of a random post but this is my life, random shenanigans abound!

A Top 5 list of Top 5's!

I work in Top 5's. I struggle picking just one thing and the list can sometimes change, but the top 5 are here!

• "To Thine Own Self be True"
• "I’m cookie dough. I’m not done baking. I’m not finished becoming whoever the hell it is I’m gonna turn out to be. I make it through this, & the next thing, & the next thing,& maybe one day, I turn around & realise I’m ready. I’m cookies."
• "My life closed twice before its close;
  It yet remains to see
  If Immortality unveil
  A third event to me,
  So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
  As these that twice befell.
  Parting is all we know of heaven,
  And all we need of hell."
• "The bottom is is that
  (a) People are never perfect, but love can be
  (b) That is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and
  (c) Doing that makes it that.
  We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love."
• "There are people who would quickly love each other if once they were to speak to each other; for when they spoke they would discover that their souls had only been seperated by phantoms and delusions."
