Im going back to school tomorrow, after a nice long winter break, so Im spending my last Sunday off compiling this post, drinking tea, watching Band of Brothers, organizing, and reblogging everything...
A new year and a brand spanking new start: I know that, theoretically, you can start changing yourself any damn time you feel like, but there is something so special, inspiration, and invigorating ab...
Blogging, of course, is really quite fabulously fun. However, keeping your blog updated on a semi-regular basis with fresh, insightful, and interesting content can be quite another story. In fact, it...
This post is going to be the first lush links of the new year, so thats really quite exciting! Starting the new year is always so lovely. Its full of fresh starts, and although right now I am lying o...
As part of my "get ready for 2012" day, I did a major purge of my bloglovin. Following a million blogs and just skimming their posts doesnt actually enrich your learning experience or connect...
So, 2011 is almost over! WHAT? It seems like yesterday that it was just beginning, but I suppose that time both moves really slowly, and then eventually, really quickly. This year was simultaneously ...
So, Im about to talk about something that, if you arent careful, can become an absolutely dangerous compulsion! My latest obsession is absolutely, 100% the fabulous microblogging platform of tumblr. ...
Family Time: During the school semester, I really dont get to see my family a lot during the week. I go to school really early, so I say my mum and dad for a few minutes before I bike there. Then Im ...
Today was such a lovely, glee filled Christmas aroma day! I wrote my Christmas cards for everyone, and added them to the presents that Id wrapped. We also decorated the tree. Usually, Im a minimalist...
Dance Opportunities: Recently, Ive been offered the most amazing opportunity in my blossoming dance career. As some of you may remember, in the spring of this year I was hired to work on a show. In J...
Im a firm believer in the power of absolutely beautiful music. It can make you feel sad, or uplift you when youre feeling down. Each season, I create a new playlist of my current songs. There are usu...
I didnt have too much homework this weekend (just some English questions and working on a Military History project), so this Sunday has been really relaxing. My parents have set up a fire in the Den,...
Doctor Who: I go through phases with my television programs, where I love some of them more than others. Right now Im head over heels in love with Doctor Who, and I named my tumblelog (Brighter than ...
Its one of the most commonly talked about ideas on the Internet for one very good reason- its a really good thing to talk about, and its really damn important to both love yourself & constantly t...
Ive decided to re-start this little round up of all my favourite bits and bobs from across the web this week. I used to do it on my old blog, and I decided to start it up again! For me, Sunday usuall...
One of the most important parts of creativity is living that way. Not the mad, wild bursts you get when ideas seem to flow onto the page or canvas or dance floor, but the everyday to and fro where yo...
I want laughter. I want to live. I want to take deep breaths of air so cold they make your lungs burn. Thats just it, though. I want. I want to create. I want to read books until the crisp black ink ...
Im a morning person- kind of. While the morning is my most productive time of day, I dont really like waking up super early. Fortunately, my school doesnt happen to start particularly early, whi...
Waking up early can be one of the worst parts of school, work, or Uni. Especially if you havent gotten enough sleep the night before. And even if you have, it can still be really hard to drag yoursel...
Writing style direction pieces are some of my favourite writing that I do for this blog. Theyre a wonderful way to hone your aesthetic, tastes, and a devine way to culivate an elevated sense of self ...
My rhyme aint good just yet, My brain and tongue just met, And they aint friends so far, My words dont travel far, they tangle in my hair, And tend to go nowhere, They grow right back inside, Right p...
Back to School: Going back to academics is always a joyous time for me, filled with new emotions, a fresh start, and tons of new things to learn, which is very, very exciting. I have really great cla...
This past week, I learned a very, very important lesson. Its this: Dont let what you cant do stop you from what you can do. There are so many things that we cant do. And whether its because we arent ...
Gratitude is a wonderful, beautiful thing. It fills you up to the brim with light and joy and can make you realize how wonderful and beautiful your life really is. It can turn a bad day, week, or yea...
Weve all talked about productivity, etc. Weve all talked about making your day better and more exciting. But today, we dont just want to be slightly more productive, we dont want to work on the same ...
I have always loved fairy tales, but not the Disney kind. The "happily ever after" version is a little too fake and simplistic for me, but I must admit that the idea of dressing like a fairy ...
Sometimes, life pretty much sucks. Maybe youve lost your job or are going through a bad break up or youve lost a dream. Maybe you feel like s**t all the time of youve been struggling with depression....
Turning 16: Today is my 16th birthday, which is pretty exciting. I feel both older and younger than 16 at the same time, but birthdays are always exciting. My mum and I are going to get pedicures (Iv...
The dreaded IHNTWBACFOC syndrome (I have nothing to wear but a closet full of clothes) can strike at any moment. I usually decide that it means it is time for a good, old fashioned closet purge, Luin...
I firmly believe that one of the key problems people experience when they try to make changes to their life is that they think of them as precisely that- changes. Which inherently implies t...
