It is the sanity of life that makes us mad...

I have just found Gabrielle Aplin, and if you haven't already discovered her - do it now.
She's a singer with some beautiful songs.

My favourites:
Lying to the mirror
Home
Panic Cord

I downloaded her album this morning and it's just beautiful. Her lyrics are so correct & inspirational. They seem to fit my life in many aspects.


How beautiful?

Something New

It's a good day today. Why?
Because today is 
National Peanut Butter Day!!

What a better way to celebrate than to eat lots and lots of lovely peanut butter. 
If you haven't guessed already...peanut butter is one of my favourite foods!!


ESPECIALLY Peanut Butter & Co. 
Which makes me a little sad because I can't get all the cool stuff like white chocolate wonderful or cinnamon raisin swirl in the UK (devastating!).

Anyway, I had a giant peanut butter breakfast - oats, pb&co (smooth), raisins, blueberries, bit of maple syrup and dates mmm. I know, yummy right?

How do you have your peanut butter? Fill me in, inspire me!!

It's Friday

You can't beat a morning coffee...
Mashed banana, raisins, strawberries and some peanut butter & co. pb.
Deeee-lish!

What does this friday have in store?
I begin with dance class, then audition technique, singing then voice.
I love a Friday!

Enjoy

Somewhere

Not only is she an incredible actress with a fierce future ahead of her, she is also one of the most stylish, fashionable 13 year olds I can think of! I was definitely not fashionable at thirteen, in fact I was so far from it I should not have been allowed out looking the way I did!!


As I am training to be an actress at the moment I am always watching films, television programs and theatre productions. I tend to fall in love with actors and actresses very quickly in the hopes of emulating their incredible performances! So most recently I am definitely crushing on the amazing Elle Fanning. Please let me be as good as her!!! 


Favourite film of hers recently would be Somewhere filmed by the amazing Sofia Coppola, who filmed one of my absolute favourite films: The Virgin Suicides!



She must get some wonderful fashion advice from her fashionista sister Dakota and their mum who did study something fashion-related!



She takes risks and doesn't wear what the typical thirteen year old would wear. She gets away with it & looks amazing!

When Life Gives You Lemons

So this is the twitter trend right now. A while back my cousin said it & I thought she'd made it up, plus she didn't make it make sense! So I never really understood it until now. 

When life gives you lemons ladies, make lemonade!

So there you go. I'm all about positive thinking and silver linings in every cloud. I also am a big lover of inspiration quotes and sayings. So I thought I'd share some of my favourites with you:

But I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.” - Olivia Wilde


Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better” - Samuel Beckett

"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough." - Oprah Winfrey

"Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised." - Denis Waitley

I have many more favourite quotes!! Let me know some of your favourites

Inspiring



I really really love Demi Lovato. I think she's brave, talented and absolutely gorgeous. This is so inspiring and a very good vocal performance from her. I hope she gets over to the UK soon!!

Heartbreak City



Like most girls I love Taylor Swift...Indulging in her songs of heartbreak and misery, love and happiness. But also...she is absolutely beautiful. So I am in fact very excited to see that she will be on this months cover of Vogue. Plus what makes it even more exciting is it is shot by Mario Testino (I love him!)

The issue will be out on the 24th of this month. I'll be rushing to buy this issue!

Here Goes

hello, first post. not too much to say apart from hello.
i'm going to take the plunge and start blogging things I love, then go from there...
yes, at this moment my blog looks a little less than perfect, but I'm struggling to get my head round this blogspot invention...it's all very new to me but as soon as I grasp some sort of understanding, well, then there's no excuse for my blog to look so shitty!
so happy wednesday people.
& happy blogging.
