Yumminess

So I decided to do Dry July. That is: not drinking alcohol for the month of July.
Easy for some, hard for others. If you know me, you'll know that I fall into the latter group.

I'm doing it to be free of alcohol for a month, to be healthy, to prove to myself I can and to
raise money for a good cause. The donations go towards adults living with cancer
all over Australia.

If you'd like to make a donation go here. Please do if you got a spare couple of bucks, its for a good cause!






Sweets & Treats

And now, simply because food is amazing I'm dedicating the rest of this post
to pretty, yummy food. Enjoy.


















A question for you:
If you could choose any one of these treats to have right now which one
would it be?

I think I'd have to go for those waffles strawberries and ice cream drizzled with melted chocolate.
Yummmmmmm (thank god i have a mars bar with me right now ;) )

Postcards From Italy

I love Florence's cover of the song postcards from Italy so I decided to take a listen to
the original by Beirut. It's beautiful. The video is also really good..the more I watch
it the more I get wrapped up in it..




The times we had
Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow
Were not all bad
We put our feet just where they had, had to go
Never to go

The shattered soul
Following close but nearly twice as slow
In my good times
There were always golden rocks to throw
At those who admit defeat too late
Those were our times, those were our times

And I will love to see that day
That day is mine
When she will marry me outside with the willow trees
And play the songs we made
They made me so
And I would love to see that day
Her day was mine



Beiruts website is so cute and there are more beautiful songs.

Light Play

Went out with my new lens and had some fun playing with the night lights.

I get dark only to shine.
And I'll light up the sky.
Stars that burn the brightest,
Fall so fast and pass you by,
Puff like empty lighters.

lyrics from Marina and the diamonds - numb

Let me know what you thought of this post below

Happy Shiny People

"Ask most people what they want out of life and the answer
is simple - to be happy. Maybe it's this expectation though of
wanting to be happy that just keeps us from ever getting there.
Maybe the more we try to will ourselves to state's of bliss, the
more confused we get - to the point where we don't recognize ourselves.
Instead we just keep smiling - trying to be the happy people we wish we
were. Until it eventually hits us, it's been there all along. Not in our
dreams or our hopes but in the known, the comfortable, the familiar."

- Meredith
