The books im reading..


At the moment I have a few books on the go, I recently read the modern maidens handbook to blameless living. I found some things quite informative and others were just the polar opposite of how I would like to live my life and the standards I set for myself. I wouldnt recommend it but i took a few things from it - cant really ask anymore than that!

Last month I read the road less travelled, I loved this book and found myself relating to quite a lot of the behaviours and patterns. Although I wouldnt say I have an interest in Psychology ( I failed my A Level! ) I do like delving more into topics than the surface allows. The world is very superficial at times and i think its important to reach into yourself and learn more about who you are. I love to write as I feel its the only way I really expand and grow.

I have a number of books im saving for holiday, there really is nothing better than a beach, a cocktail and a good book! :)

Thanks Nancy!


















I received a beautiful gift in the post yesterday. I walked into my room to find it lovingly laid on my bed! It had really cool design on it and couldnt wait to rip it open. Nancy had sent me a beautiful gift for my birthday! Its a wonderfully soft pillow, the softest ive ever felt. Ry is fighting me for it but he can carry on hoping :) The package also contained a very interesting book, im sure I will learn a lot from reading it.

Thanks for thinking of me

Go see Juno!





This afternoon we went to see Juno, I wanted to see Cloverfield but we went to see Juno instead. Its a really great film. Its really emotional in places and I even welled up! Bringing a life into the world is such an amazing thing...
It was also really funny in places, Go see it ! :)

Scrumptious!


I had a wonderful birthday and was telling everyone that i was into candles, so I perhaps told too many people :) its candle overload, my room has never smelt so scrumptious. I have a number of these ones, Jo and Dan bought me the Mango Fandago one, it reminds me of being on a beach somewhere sipping a cocktail! Yum!

Its all about compromise!

Right now im trying to find a cool, pretty cheap place to stay in Venice. I'm not sure its going to be the most easy task. It seems such an expensive city. Hostels so far are about £200 for two nights and thats a Hostel! Ive learned a valuable lesson recently. "Its all about compromise" This is ringing true for most things with me right now. Being with someone who is a different culture and lifestyle to you challenges your thoughts and ideals constantly. This is one thing i love and one thing i hate, it means that something very simple can turn out to be such a huge mountain to climb, but also means that you learn a lot too, seeing something from someone elses point of view makes you more well rounded and the ability to adapt yourself is a good skill to have.

Im trying to adapt to most things, im far from perfect and am finding it quite difficult.
