To the newly engaged...

Marry Me

 


You come to love not by finding the perfect person,
but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
      ~ Sam Keen




My best friend and her wonderful partner just got engaged..
As we are miles apart I just want to say "CONGRATULATIONS".
I am so happy for you guys, there is so much love between the both of you.
This is for you. xoxoxo


Of late I have been writting letters to friends and family. It's such a personal and lovely treat to receive in your mail box. I live away from my family and I like to send them little packages in the post. 
My best friend has moved to Italy for the year and one of the ways we are staying in touch it to write. It's such a beautiful way to stay connected. Pen to paper adds such a personal touch.

My first experience with Aesop was about a year ago. I was given a little pack  of beautiful smelling products from my girlfriends as a Birthday present and Ihave not used any other skincare brand since.
I love the simplicity of this brand. The products are natural and pure, the packaging is rustic and authentic and the stores are so basic and calming.

My personal favourites: Tea Tree Leaf Facial Exfoliant.
                                       Rejuvenate Intensive Body Balm.

Hump Day Inspirations







I am not normally a colour type of girl when it comes to interiors but these images are so sweet to look at.
A little colour to brighten your mid week.

Get ready for the long week ahead...

To those I love...





When times get tough I can always rely on my family and friends to keep me smiling.
I am so lucky to have these amazing people in my life. I am a big believer that people come into your life for a reason. People come and go in your life but  for those who are still apart of it are your most precious. Keep them close.  Treat people the way you would like to be treated and you will continue to make friends. Be a good friend as true friends are hard to find.


My family is my support, my friends hold me together and my husband is my home...

Fire Works, Katy Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

My favourite scents...


 I love this beautiful feminine scent. I wore this on my wedding day and whenever i put it on i think of all the beautiful memories i shared with my husband, family and friends.



Narioucas Rodregious is a great everyday wear. It's slightly woody musky smell is a great wear for the Autumn/Winter months.



This is a scent i will always have in my perfume tray.
Coco Chanel mastered this beautiful perfume. I feel beautiful, elegant and confident whenever i wear this classic fragrance.
