because I love it.

Be Glamorous

{ I have this wonderful T Shirt with a vintage print that reads 'Be Glamorous' I just love the idea of this phrase... It's got me to thinking recently.

There is something so special about a woman who is confident in her own skin. Something precious about a woman, although stunningly beautiful - can reach her hand to the needy. I am not talking about a false confidence, those girls who walk about with their model hair, clothing and who don't dare befriend someone ugly (although everyone is uniquely beautiful). You know the type I mean, so lacking in confidence that they make everyone else feel less than human. No, I am talking about the refreshing beauties who care firstly with beautifying their souls. They are attractive, fascinating, glamorous beings who nurture and care for others above themselves. This is the most costly beauty there is. If you meet them, something inside you longs to have what they have inside. There is that sense that this is what it means to truly be beautiful. Those classic beautiful souls that give the word 'Glamour' its nourishment. }

2. Clements dates

3. Percy Pigs

4. Shopping

5. M&S

6. Perfume that doesn't cost the earth

7. Blue skies

8. Waking up to fresh rainy days

9. Accents from up the road

10. Words/phrases like 'Ach' 'I' 'Craic' 'deuewknowwhadamean like?'

11. Walks at night

12. 'Localisms'

13. Guinness

14. Bread

15. Milk

16. M&S chocolate marshmallows

17. Viennese biscuits

18. Cadbury's

19. Galaxy

20. Topshop/Zara/Mango/Vera Moda/PerUna

delighted I get to experience these again. { Love my home }

what do you want??!!!

Been contemplating so much for the future. Actually, I would love to imagine it's been 'so' much, it's actually only been the small decisions that refer to the future 'bigger' picture. Asking myself what do I actually want my life to look like. Found this lovely quote recently, "Follow your dreams, they know the way" and that ever so valid scripture that reads "A man plans his ways, but the Lord directs his path" ... I need to plan, need to expect, need to dream, need to prescribe my future.

What's more funny is that I truly believe in my dreams, I know they will happen - this makes me lazy at times. I am considering what it will take to be diligent. relentless. persistent. I like these words.
