Movie magic


Kat Stratford: I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

The B word!


Broccoli! Yes, the little green trees!

I'm detoxing this week, and discovered the joys of Broccoli:

- excellent source of calcium
- anti aging benefits
- anti cancer properties
- rich in fibre
- helps regulate digestion of food
- rich in dozens of nutrients

43 things... the coolest website!

I found this awesome website www.43things.com

What do you want to do with your life? Here you can record your goals and progress and see what everyone else is doing, and who has the same goals as you...

1,638,798 people in 15,032 cities are doing 1,374,738 things

  • Write down your goals

  • Get Inspired

  • Share your progress

Really fun and really awesome to see that there are so many people out there with similar goals! You can browse goals and comment and give tips if you have already done that, or add it to your goals. You have space for 43!

Not all have to be landmark, taking over the world, save the whales goals... but no harm in having a few of those! Simple small changes, waking up earlier, finding out the colour of your aura, paying off debt, travelling to Mozambique, buying a puppy, learning to play an instrument.... Makes them far easier to achieve when shared... I think!

things i learnt this weekend


* failure is only failure if u don't learn the lesson presented to you
* cupcakes are heavenly ~ found the cutest cupcake shop in Parkhurst
* my best friends are all blonde ... hmmm (i'm a brunette)
* it's not worth it to have negative people in your space by choice - just let go
* beauty is all around us, just look around and see, don't just look
* everyone has a story - let's not judge too quickly
* going to watch the rugby at the stadium with friends is fun, even if you don't know the rules



* tap water is better ~ bottled water is a thousand times more expensive than tap water, creates mountains of needless garbage, contributes to environmental problems, and isn't healthier than tap water... rather by a filter for your home!

i haven't painted in ages...



I feel inspired again to paint again... I love oil painting, but haven't had much inspiration lately ~ but I feel excited again to get my oils and canvases out, the linseed oil, my brushes and palet! Here are some of my other paintings in the mean time... but watch this space... there'll be more soon!





i love missing you...
