The 30 Day Snap


Hey Guys,

How are we all doing, this week? It's Tuesday already, how times fly's!

I just wanted to let you know about a challenge I'm under taking for the whole of June, called The 30 Day Snap!
As you may or may not know, I am a huge fan of Sprinkle of Glitter, and this is a tag set up by her. & I thought it would be fun to join in. I have linked her blog below, for you to all check out. :] 

The idea behind 'The 30 Day Snap' is to take one picture everyday, and upload it however you wish. I myself will be uploading of course on here and also through, the wonders of Instagram, which also happens to be linked to my Twitter & Facebook pages. 
But you can upload to wherever you like. ;] The picture can document any part of your day, wherever you maybe.. work, home, school. (As long as you don't get caught by any teachers!) 
Don't worry if you don't have a state-of-the-art camera. I always end up using my phone, as it is the camera I almost always have to hand! Also don't worry if there not perfect. (it's only fun, after all!) Your photo, can have a story behind it, feel free to add a caption or if you feel that it speaks for itself than leave it at that!

I think it would be awesome, if you would all like to join in, and give it ago with me. I did something pretty similar at the beginning of the year, on Instagram called the #JanuaryPhotoChallenge with my sister & we had a blast! 
Just expanding our photographic skills & being a bit more creative.  

I will be using the hashtag's #GlitterSnap & #30DaySnap.

I Believe in Good People

This picture comes from Pinterest

Hi Guy's & Girls,

Firstly, I'd like to say, where has all the time gone? It was Monday the other day, and now it's thursday! How did that happen?!  If someone  could tell me, what happen to Tuesday & Wednesday I'd be grateful!

This weeks blog post has been inspired by the good nature, of human of kind.
Weirdly enough, things like this always happen to me, when I am on the verge of giving up with 'people' and all of a sudden a gem of kindness, reminds me that we're not all that bad, after all.
I often find these wonderful sentiments come from the older generation. Often reminiscing about their partner. 
A particular example, that practically melted my heart in two recently, was from an older gentleman. Talking about his, late wife. Saying about, what they would do on valentines day. 
If valentines day, would happen to fall on a weekend he would always take her to the coast. 
Or if it happened to be during the week, he would always send her flowers and a balloon.   
Which just made me think, it's the thought that counts, it's so important to show / tell the one's you love, that you care about them.. Making them a cup of tea in the morning without being asked. Maybe..
Or even strangers, you pass in the street. When your having a bad day, & someone holds the door for you. Or lets you on the bus first. Or in my case, ask's me what item is it, on the top shelf that I can't reach. How much better it can make you feel. Just by being shown, that tiny bit of kindness. 
And how it might, make someone else feel better. By saying thank-you to someone who hold's the door for you. Or giving someone a smile  as the walk by. Not the stalkery kind, of smile, the polite kind. 
Hope you have a good week guys x

Hard times will always reveal true, friends.

The moral of the story is...





Hey Guy's,

This weeks blog post, is a bit longer than usual. Hope you don't mind! 
I initially started this blog, as a reason to keep, saying yes to things, new & old. And not to find a reason to put things off. 

And then, just recently, life started throwing some rather unexpected shapes at me…

And I've found dealing with it a whole lot easier thanks to a great group of quirky individuals that I'm proud to call my chums/chummette's.

I am not gonna lie to you… I'm a planner. I like to preempt things. I can't help it, I just feel at ease if I can see it coming. Then, I can rationally plan ahead to resolve my upcoming problem. 
But I know life doesn't work like that. It doesn't send me a Gmail saying; "coming you're way, spanner in the works." (I wish it did.) 
& so when faced with something unexpected, it can be a bit of a shock to the system. 
My brain freezes, and panic floods in. (Like a rabbit caught in headlights.) 
And I just want to sit in the dark, which, I found the hard way, solves nothing!
But thanks to a wonderful bunch, of chummies, they have helped me keep a level head, & too keep moving forward. 
And thanks to them, I have found it a whole lot easier to keep saying yes, to things, that I know, if not for them I would be in a different frame of mind. & I would probably be saying no to taking that first step into the unknown.
And, the moral of the story is, 
"Hard times will always reveal true, friends." ;]
