TAKE ME BACK TO THE START.

I know I said this wasn't going to be a fandom blog--and it isn't--, so I wanted to apologise for all the Pokémon spam I've been dumping on you guys lately.

However, I still think you should know, Pokémon was a crucial part of that happy, carefree part of my childhood where everything was possible, and all my dreams were there for the taking,--and these past couple of months, while I've been recovering from a very dark time in my life, I stumbled back onto it, and I couldn't be more glad that I did. 

Feeling like that kid again, it reminded me of all the things the 11 year old Charm used to believe in; things I still believe in, and aspire to, and it made me realize / remember all that I have to live for. 

Therefore, I felt like sharing this with you guys: whenever it feels like there is no way out, think back to a time in your life when nothing seemed impossible--that time when you were all: "Of course I'm gonna be an astronaut after I graduate from Hogwarts, isn't everyone?", and no matter how silly or childish it may seem, be that kid again. 

Take out those old cartoons, Lego bricks, dolls, plushies, comics, etc.-- whatever it is that you loved the most, and remember who you were--who you still are. Don't let the weight of everyone's expectations for you to be the ~responsible adult crush you before you could become one. 

And remember, that one dream we've had first is usually the one we spend the rest of our lives trying to come back to.

OOTD.

More like, today on crappy photo taking by your's truly: 

Top: River Island

Shorts: Clockhouse by C&A

Ballerinas: Xti

Bag: New Look

Speaking of, thank God my uni doesn't have a dress code, 'cause to me 32°C equals short-shorts, and noone could tell me otherwise.

Though right now, I feel like selling a soul for a bikini.

Still feeling like hell warmed over, but--

Bulbagarden accepted my fanart submission! \o/

OOTD.

I’ve been feeling pretty poorly this weekend—I reckon I’ve contracted one of those three day bugs that’ve been going around—but even that couldn’t make me miss my regular massage.

Anyhow, here’s what I wore:

Top: Orsay

Shorts: H&M

Ballerinas: New Look

Bag: Accessorize

Finally, the summer’s here, and I’m so looking forward to wearing all these new clothes! :)

Me: A guy at the restaurant told me I looked hot today.

My uncle: Not fair. No guy ever told *me* that.

WHITE COLLAR: A SUMMARY.

In honour of season 6 starting filming, and because I miss these idiots so much. 

[Also, them going on a joined case with my Vice squad would be the most hilarious thing ever.

On one hand Neal and van der Wal would hit it off like a house on fire, breaking all the rules, then charming their way out of it, and tormenting their poor partners to no end, while on the other she’d be all: "If you so much as dream of looking at my stuff, they’ll never find your body in a million years.".

And Neal would then of course have to try and steal something, just because.]

Anyhow, I’m gonna be such a sobbing mess once this show is over.

GIVING IS THE BEST COMMUNICATION. >>

I wasn't sure how to upload this as a video, so I thought best to just link you to the original.

Please take a couple of minutes to watch this reminder of the power of being kind without expecting something in return; it's guaranteed to warm your hearts, though it'll probably make you cry as well--I know it did me, but it was that happy, cathartic kind of tears... Idk, just watch it.

And more importantly, always help when you can, in any way you can, and don't judge--the act itself will make you feel amazing, and the universe will take care of the rest.

[charmmarie-blog]

OOTD.

So, above is what I wore to the Spa today.

It’s nothing special, but I really love these jeans (hallelujah for the summer colours!), and apparently my ass looks terrific…?, so there.

Top: H&M

Cardigan: Topshop

Jeans: H&M

Wedges: New Look

Bracelet: handmade

Also, please excuse the shitty lighting, which is hopefully soon to change.

A PEACE OF MIND AND A JOY OF SKIN.

Today was a SPA day--[insert smiley face here]--and this little gem is what says at the entrance to the beauty salon I usually go to.

I must admit, I am really lucky in a way that my friend works there, plus it's literally a seven minute walk from my house, so I can spoil myself with triweekly full body massages--today was one of them, and boy did I need it more than ever.

I've been so stressed out and overworked with my tv-show stuff lately, I haven't been able to do any actual quality writing in weeks, but today, while the masseuse worked wonders on my legs, I managed to flesh out the final draft of my police procedural, and dare I say so myself, it sounds like something I would watch the hell out of. 

Not to mention, my legs / butt still feel like that of a supermodel. :)

So to conclude, if you have time / means to afford it, I would definitely recommend you treat yourself to a nice deep tissue massage every once in a while.

Your body and your mind will thank you for it.

So, I fixed the broken links, but some parts are still under construction. I'll put up the tags / links / etc. once there's more stuff up here to link to.

LONDON CALLING.

On June 5th 2010, exactly four years ago, I first set foot on London soil (if you don’t count those few hours of passing through on my way to Swanage in 2008), and instantly fell in love withthe city, the people, and everything in had to offer.

It was also the first time I watched the musical adaptation of Les Misérables, something I’ve been longing to do ever since I’d read the brick when I was 12 (and which remains of my favourites til this day). I was incredibly lucky to catch the brilliance that was the 2010 Queen’s Theatre cast in the final month of their run, and experience not only their amazing voices, but what was maybe the truest portrayal of my dearest book characters overall.

I still remember walking down the Shaftesbury Avenue for the first time like it was yesterday, spotting the above pictured Cosette logo, and not quite believing I was actually there, and that this was finally happening to me. I ended up watching five performances in a row during that stay, and still kept coming for more.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank eppiesue for her exceptionally detailed reviews which got me acquainted with this cast, and provided the final nudge for me to hurry to London in time to catch them, as well as advice on choosing the best seats in the house for the ultimate fangirl experience. 

Furthermore, Les Misérables was also a huge deal for me when I first joined Tumblr, and more importantly how I met seanourished, one of the dearest and loveliest people in my life, for which I will be forever grateful. Love you and miss you loads, babe. xx

Anyhow, things are pretty hectic with uni right now, but I’d really love to revisit London by the end of the year. It’s been way to long, and one can always dream, right?

It’s how all of this started, after all.

Today marks exactly four years that I discovered the wondrous blogging platform that is Tumblr, and since everyone seems to be starting quality personal blogs these days, I gathered it was high time I did so as well (not that I have any idea what a quality blog even is, but one can try).

More coming soon.
