Morning Tea

So this morning, I woke up early and so had time to sit in my bed with a glorious cup of tea. Listening to the birds twittering and waking up slowly! Bliss.

Today is my last class of university. I can't believe the time has gone so fast since I started in 2007.

Have a wonderful Thursday and apologies for the lack of posts, been very busy with work!

May your day be beautiful.

1930s Hand Mirror.. :)

image: Steptoes Dog Vintage Shop, UK

So today I decided to take a look at some vintage websites, to see what was on offer. They had lots of beautiful dresses, costume jewellery and handbags but something caught my eye.

One of my favourite films is Beauty and the Beast, I love the gorgeous handmirror that Belle has. And so, when I came across the handmirror above, I knew I had to buy it. Such beautiful detailing and its from circa 1933!

It also comes with a matching clothes brush.

Have a wonderful week ahead everyone!!

London Life

image: google

Hello :)!

Have been having a wonderful weekend. Last night was my best friends 22nd, and so we ventured down to Camden, a part of London which is known for being really alternative. We went to somewhere called the Inspiral Lounge, which is a hippy place, serving wheatgrass shots (!), vegetable juices and vegan food, as well as having a dancefloor. Last night there was a guy showcasing his new psycadelhic trance album..... and so we danced. There were loads of guys and girls with dreadlocks....lots of piercings. I have decided I like male hippie fashion, there was a really cute man there with blue dreads!!!

Inspiral lounge also does boat cruises on camden lock (river). I must go back with my friends soon.

Was good times. :) How is your weekend, what have you got up to?

Love,

ONLY THIS MOMENT IS LIFE

A key Japanese principle is to treasure every encounter because it may not come again. This is known in Japanese as 'ichi-go ichi-e'

Thoughts for the coming week...

images: google


Have a happy, peaceful, beautiful Monday and week ahead all!!

Things to do this week

- let your soul be free in nature at least one day this week. breathe the air. appreciate the leaves, the trees, the grass, the colours of the flowers. if youre near a river or lake, appreciate its beauty.

- if the weather is good, take lots of photos. :)

- don't get too stressed by modern life. above all, remember the natural world and its powers to heal! :)

Remember...

'The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and G-d. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that G-d wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.'- Anne Frank

Joss Stone Gig!

image: google

Tonight I had the fortune of seeing one of my favourite soul singers in concert, the wonderful JOSS STONE.

I have loved Joss since she started in 2003, and have watched her go from strength to strength, becoming the amazing accomplished performer she is today.

The gig tonight was AMAZING! Joss is so soulful and free on stage, dancing around barefoot, drinking tea, throwing flowers into the audience, jamming with her musicians and backing singers. And basically, singing only the way she can!!! She is just a fantastic talent, one of the best performers britain has ever produced.

I love her soulfulness.........<3

I was lucky enough to meet her in 2006, and she was so lovely!

And now time for sleep....
