Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) dir. Blake Edwards

5 years on I’m still a lost sometimes extremely emotional human being just with better eyebrows and better makeup skills.

And then she realized that a fresh start was hers for the taking, that she could be the woman she’s always seen on the distant horizon—her future self. One step at a time. Starting today.

Here we go again

It’s been a good couple of years since I’ve been here and oh boy have I grown. 

I have missed recording my thoughts and trying to fulfill that lifelong goal to turn my thoughts into something eloquent. I have enjoyed reading back on some of my old posts and some bring me joy and others bring me sadness to see how lost and helpless i was. I see warning signs and huge signs of me begging for help in my younger self. 

So here is to me trying this again. But no longer for anyone but myself. Anything and everything i will write here i want it to be brutally honest and real. I honestly do not care if anyone stumbles across this or not.This is for you Beatrice. For when you are older and  wiser and you can look back and continue to see growth and change for the better hopefully. And if anyone does stumble across this then welcome to the still fucked up mind and heart of mind. I hope you can relate and that I can help you feel less alone, cause goddamn this world is so fucking lonely  sometimes.

Breakfast in Bed

Hey Frands :)

So i woke up last Saturday sick but feeling better than i have in a while. 

So despite being sick i dragged myself out of bed and made myself a simple yet healthy and super tasty breakfast. And IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. I hardly ever get the chance to eat in bed, and no one makes me breakfast in bed, so it was a real treat and enjoyment. I took the morning easy, I sat back in bed and turned on some music and ate, then i watched a chick flick (cause i can). After this breakfast i was ready to face the day with positive vibes. 

What i ate: 

Frozen Berries <3 : I’m a huge fan of frozen berries, especially blueberries. They are filled with  antioxidants which are essential for  optimizing health by helping to combat the free radicals (they are these little buggers in your body, and their main goal in life is to ruin your life. They damage your cells, weaken your immune system which can not only lead to colds and flus, but could also cause dangerous infections, cancer or heart diseases. Blueberries is said to be one of the most healthy fruits on earth. They have benefits for your nervous system and your brain. And my favorite part is that it improves memory! 

Cranberry Granola: Eating granola may help lower your cholesterol, and prevent chronic diseases like cancer or heart disease. And its filled with healthy fibers which help your digestive system and control your blood sugar. 

Milk: I personally am not a big fan of drinking milk as it is, but i love a good hot chocolate, milk in my tea or coffee and especially in cereals. So as you can see i dumped the milk into my granola. As most of you know milk contains calcium which helps your teeth and bones grow stronger and healthier. And its also filled with Choline which helps your sleep! I LOVE SLEEP. But thats not all that milk has to offer, there are vitamins, potassium, magnesium, etc...

Bananas: IM A MONKEY. I LIKE BANANAS. And they are loaded with vitamins and minerals. If you dont love bananas here is 25 reasons to love bananas for you. 

And lastly i had a blackcurrant juice from the brand Granini. I love the juices from Granini (which is a German company). They produce refreshing and fresh fruit juices with epic flavours.

I have never blogged about food before despite being such a food junkie. So let me know if you like them? :D

But yes i am very much alive, just have been busy and having been in the blogging mood much lately, but i shall be back with new outfits and poems and thoughts again soon. 

Wishing you all the best for the rest of your week

Hey guys, 

i have been a much needed break from blogging and a few other things, and so many things have changed for me. I am back though. I dont promise to post regularly because i cant give that kind of commitment but there will be some outfits, and alot of thoughts. Going back to my roots of writing down experiences and lessons. That i hope can encourage and inspire some of you .

Heres what i have to say about 2014:

I have witnessed so much beauty in the countless sunrises and sunsets I have seen this year. I have also witnessed the danger through the storms and typhoons.  But most importantly I have learnt so much and the experience have shaped me into the person I am today. It's been a hard year, but I am thankful for every tear, every smile, every memory and moment.  For the next 14 days I will be sharing with you the 14 lessons I have learnt this year. And I hope that you can find encouragement and understanding in them.

RAINDAYS

So often we hate days because we wake up to cloudy grey skies and pouring rain. And the we feel gloomy for the rest of the day too. Its okay to have those days but its important to know that they dont all suck, and the rain can be a beautiful thing. Get out and brace the rain, Either with an oversized raincoat, an umbrella, gumboots or nothing at all. And you enjoy the pitter patter and sensation of the rain falling on you. I promise you'll feel great. 

This outfit consist of a playsuit cause we'll i like to play, and plain white shirt (extra sized) and a flannel shirt. It looks great and adds a pop of color to the outfit, and plus im a 90's kid, so i gotta respect the trend. But its also so practical when it gets cold, you'll have your jacket sussed. :)

Lately i've been hooked on David Levithan. He's such an amazing writer. But i'll leave you with some food for thought

"when the rain falls you just let it fall and you grin like a madman and you dance with it because if you can make yourself happy in the rain, then you’re doing pretty alright in life.”- David Levithan

Imagination

The Power of Imagination makes us Infinite. - John Muir

Everything we can imagine is to a certain extent possible. Or you could not have not been capable of having imagined it. Everything comes from the imagination.Without it nothing would have been possible. Nothing could have been invented. Everything starts with the imagination and everything ends in imagination.  Imagination always precedes transformation. Every important change you've made in your life, inner or outer, started with an act of imagination.

Imagination is what fuels and empowers our dreams, in which we can then turn into reality. It is necessary for things to happen, and our lives to continue. It makes us who we are. We become our own limits and boundaries, and we choose which dreams we chase after and try to fulfill. With that in mind, it is also important to know in which dreams we should pursue and give time to.

But dear friends, do not be afraid to imagine. It give us the ability to believe in yourself and push the boundaries you've set.

As John Green said, "If you dont imagine, nothing ever happens at all.

Hey friends, 

so here i am channeling my inner Spencer Hastings (PLL).

I've been inactive due to a numerous amount of reasons, a main one is because my camera had problems. So here is one of the last outfits i managed to shoot before the lens crashed. I took it to fix tonight, but  its bust, so i bought a new one. (: So that means im back. 

But this look isnt something i'd wear normally, but i woke up one morning and decided to be a prep for a day, so i did. (: Plus i added my glasses. No prep is complete without glasses? :D

“Is giving in to what’s expected and considered normal, even just for sake of fitting in, really living at all? You will never be or feel more beautiful than when you are being yourself. Even when you dance to boybands and watch Barbie clips on Youtube all day, and Even if you keep bacon bits with you all the time, because you believe everything tastes better with bacon, or if you believe spending your free time partying is the best way to spend time, or maybe you just don't party at all.. Even if your quirky, flawed, and have a funny laugh. Do not give in to the judgement, skepticism, doubts, fear or rejection. Just be the wild you. Be a hippie, or a stoner, dress up and play up the girlish side of you, because even for just that moment, that’s who you are. And you’re alive."

So be who you want to be. Embrace you, even if its just being a prep for a day.

Live.

Weekend Vibes

Hey guys, 

I'm sorry i havent been posting. Recently i'm going through a bit, and im struggling to find time. And relationships have been strained and tested, so here some songs i relaxed to tonight and some things that are on my mind.

1. Like Lovers Do - Madeline Juno

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vig2OQEN9Q

I love Maddy. I think she's wonderful and im obsessed with her songs and her voice. And, this song will be featured on the newest movie POMPEII. With OMG- GOT- reference...JOHN SNOW (just cause i dont know the actors real name- i dont care too much for him but its still exciting?). 

2. Save Me - Tyler Blackburn

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em8szPSONds

I've been crushing on this song for soo long now. 1. ITS TYLER BLACKBURN. HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE LOVE FOR PLL AND RAVENSWOOD CHARACTER CALEB RIVERS! :D 2. The lyrics zomg. 3. Just this song! 4. I need saving?

3. Dust to Dust - The Civil Wars

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJbmXvBJhCs

Civil Wars anyone? I love this band. SO MUCH.I remember when they got recognition for their amazing music because Taylor Swift and their breakthrough song The One That Got Away. :D

4. Run Little Child - The Prince of Spain

https://soundcloud.com/princeofspain/run-little-child?in=princeofspain/sets/his-majesty

These guys are kings. Their songs are just so carefree and uplifting and the lyrics are genius. 

5. Your In My Veins - Andrew Belle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0KZuZF01FA

And heres the song i cried to tonight. Yes i do cry, and sometimes its good to get it out. (: Heres just some of the lyrics that appeal to me today. 

Nothing goes as planned Everything will break All that you rely on And all that you can fake Will leave you in the morning But find you in the day Oh, you're in my veins And I cannot get you out Oh, you're all I taste At night inside of my mouth Oh, you run away 'Cause I am not what you found Oh, you're in my veins And I cannot get you out Everything is dark It's more than you can take

I wish the sun shines for you and you all have a wonderful weekend. :)

Drifters

People are drifters, either we're driftwood in the ocean, seeing where the waves will take us. Or we are dandelions in spring, we wait for the wind to pick us up and bring us somewhere new. That can be good or it can be bad. We drift together and apart, to new stages of life to new interests, we drift to new habits, to new friends, to new opinions and feelings. And sometimes we can control it slightly but sometimes its just the way life is. 

Lately it seems to me that people are losing friends, and losing contact. We all have friendships that we're so precious to us but over time and growing up , you just drift apart and it sucks and hurts. It happens with or without distance. Though i think distance makes it harder. You never know whether they'll miss you or forget you. 

This just means you need to find the relationships that are important to you, that are worth working for and try your best to be there, to keep in touch, and to hold on with clenched fist and try not to let them slip away. And if they do, there no use getting mad because it happens, the wind has carried them away, and there is no use fighting with the wind.. maybe, just maybe the wind will carry them back again one day.

Carelessly

Hey there, 

I hope you all had a great Valentines day, where you not only loved and cherished a significant other(if you have one) , but also your friends, family and most importantly yourself. One must learn to love oneself before they can love others. My day started out rocky, but it turned out rather perfect even though i had to teach on valentines evening. But I am very lucky to have such wonderful people in my life. And i want to thank all you readers for your love and support. <3 I had a few outfits picked out but i'll take some pictures and show you all. Even though i had to go with what i had, because most of my clothes are now at my new house (I'm currently on the move). 

This outfit was inspired by the song Carelessly by the band Prince of Spain ft. Dresses (I AM SO IN LOVE WITH PRINCE OF SPAIN)

https://soundcloud.com/princeofspain/carelessly

I like the idea of being careless, not naive. But without fear, and doubt. To just go for the things i want in life. I know what i want, and its time i dd just that and chase my hopes and desires. So this year is bringing a huge change and i'll be moving to a different country to start with University and be with the guy i cant imagine being without. I'm chasing what i want, and what will make me happy. 

Is there anything your afraid of? Why not go for it? Its your life, your hope, your love, and your dreams.. MAKE IT HAPPEN

That Girl.

Salutations.

We need to learn that we are all extraordinary. We can choose to be ordinary. Or we can choose to accept our differences. And, if someone tries to tell you you’re ordinary, prove them wrong. 

I truly believe that all girls should strive to be - that girl. That girl who changes lives just by being uniquely them. The one that everyone will remember (maybe not your name, or how you look, but for your personality and for the special person you are). You should never ever want to be normal or ordinary. How else would anyone learn to love you for you?  I may be a little different, a bit impractical, and a lot of crazy. And I may not know what I want. But, one thing is for sure: I don’t want to be ordinary. I don’t want to play it safe. I don’t want to accept a life filled with normal. I may pick up some haters along the way, and i definitely will receive a lot of stares, but at least i will be 100% me.
