valentine’s day is nearing, once again. i can’t say i’ve really ever celebrated the lovers’ day. but still i love the idea of a amorous, romantic, love-filled day in pink and red, with cute little treats for you and your date that glam the normal day up. here is a bit of inspiration for theContinue reading
i just realised it’s been a while since my last ‘thought of the day’ post… though i really need them, like the air that i breathe…! because, as you might know (and i am not proud to say it…), i worry quite a lot. yes, i’m an actual worrier. but what does a young(ish…) womanContinue reading
