Hiatus

I do so like to scribble (well, type) my daily musings and loves all over this humble little blog but at the moment I am absolutely overwhelmed by planning tea parties and halloween costumes and studying for my exams and whatnot that I have little time to do so...

I just bought the Frankie Photo Album to cheer myself up (studying is getting me down) and it is gorgeous (from what I can tell, I have only had a little peak)...I am using it as motivation. If I can finish these summaries, I will allow myself a proper look. This is the carrot-leading-the-horse technique and it really does work.

a visual list of things to do.

Study very, very hard for exams

Bake friands and muffins

Grow hair long and free

Keep a notebook full of comforting maxims

Clean out wardrobe and organise it in a control-freak fashion

Give out compliments to people more often. It's nice.

Cheap Lit Kicks

Was just perusing the Penguin Books site to search their 'Popular Penguins' range. My God, how I love that $9.95 price tag. Honestly, it should be government policy to subside (good) books so that the population may read more. Reading has so many benefits- it sharpens your intellect, exposes one to beauty, challenges one's thoughts, engages the imagination and provides entertainment. Do it in bed, on the train, in the kitchen waiting for your soup to cook...just do it.

My picks include Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (you will DIE of laughter) and the eerie Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde who is by far one my favourite playwrights (he is also excessively amusing).

Innocence

Bicycles, Ice-Cream, Intimate Handwritten Letters and Brides.

Love is a losing game. Love fashion instead.

I'm content to romp around this summer with these high-waisted lovers.

They're the kind of shorts you wear for ice-cream outings/make-out sessions/disco dancing/other.

Bath-time

There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them.

Sylvia Plath

A hot bath is the ultimate panacea for every woe. When you're tired/anxious/distraught or just winding down after a big week, a bath is the best thing for the soul. I love Aesop products and beautiful candles dotted around the bathtub and of course, bubbles. Put this divine smelling hair masque in your hair as you relax and your hair will come out soft and clean and smelling like roses (literally).
