Dreams…♥♥♥

Take a look at your self in the mirror…who do you see looking back?

Is it the person you want to be?

Or is there someone else you were meant to be…someone you should have been or fell short off…

Or is someone telling you, you can’t or you won’t? Because you can…

Believe that love is out there.

Believe that dreams come true everyday..because they do.

Sometimes happiness doesn’t come from money or fame or power. It comes from good family, friends and from the quiet nobility of leading a good life.

Believe that dreams come true everyday…because they do.

So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy…because you deserve to be..believe that.

And believe that dreams come true everyday…because they do.

An inspirational piece that sums up everything I believe taken from One tree hill…

Confident you the statistics...

I came across some interesting statistics in Gok Wans new book about women and their bodies. I thought it would be useful to share them:

78% of women have stretch marks

97% of women wish they had longer legs

87.5% of women wish they were taller (me!)

Body shapes:

60% of women are pear shaped

31% of women are pencil shaped

6% of women are hourglass shaped

When you look at these statistics really it pretty much means that so many of us are unhappy with ourselves and the way we are. And amongst these shocking statistics I am one of these women and wish I was everything that Im not. Its really sad and disheartening to go through this all the time and it really is a serious problem. But If you step back and look at the statistics you will probably realise like myself that you fall in to one of the majority categories. So why is it that if the majority of us fall into the same categories we cant be happy with ourselves? Personally I think it is really important to get to a place where you can be happy with yourself .

We live in a world where we are shown unrealistic images of these girls all the time and we need to realise this is not reality. 

The tip is to accept your self how you are. Obviously it is really hard and it is really difficult, however with the right knowledge and the right attitude by making yourself feel good this can be achieved. I love how Gok empowers woman to feel good about themselves but I do think he can sometimes focus on the outside too much. I know it sounds cliche, but beauty and confidence really does come from within. 

Here are some tips on how to be confident:

- Celebrate the part of the body you love the most!

- Everyone is unique and has something beautiful about them. 

- Drink lots of water- beautiful skin is key to feeling confident!

- Think about one thing you are good at and use it to your potential-this may be giving voluntary work to an organisation- it really does help you to feel confident about yourself and helps you to grow that self-esteem.

- Just be yourself- if we constantly try to be someone were not we will never be happy.

-The last one is cheesy- but true! SMILE- every smile is beautiful.

The Blouse is Back.

I am just fallling in LOVE with this seasons gorgeous chiffon- formal/casual blouses. Take a look...

All blouses are taken from the latest Topshop and Miss Selfridge collections....they are just to die for! I figured these would be perfect for teaching abroad as the silky chiffon material would be great for keeping me cool. Teamed up with some silky hareems or pegged legged trousers to make the outfit more formal- either way works a treat!

Top ten pet peeves!

1.Cliffhangers

2.Junk Mail- why do we need it...its just utter junk!

3.People who ask for help, dont listen- then complain they need help again!

4.I know this one is totally OCD but I HATE it when the toothpaste tube is squeezed from the middle!

5.Girls who cannot put there foundation on properly and look like they are wearing a mask!

6.People who smoke while they are walking in town and stick their cigerette in your face and all the smoke goes on you everywhere.

7. Even worse- people smoking in front of their children.

8.When people constantly text and act like they are still listening to you but theyre not!

9. Is a romance really a romance without a happily ever after?

10.The reallly long trailer at the cinema- you end up finishing your popcorn before the film has even started.

Pancake day tomorrow....yaay cannot wait!

Mmmm Pancakes...enough said! Enjoy!

I cant say my pancake dinner will look like this!

Or this....

Jemma Wynne Jewelery.

Ive always loved Jemma Wynnes collections how sophisticated but casually wearable her pieces are. Recently her collections are just stunning! She simply produces modern collections of lasting luxory. Her Prive ranges are always classic and chic. However there is currently one ring which really stands out from the collection. The intertwined crystals and the peachy nude tone to it makes this ring the most sophisticated ring ever. Check out the jewels below...
