Phosphenes


Phosphenes, n
- the stars and colours you see when you rub your eyes.

So it's officially May and I officially haven't blogged since last month, although I never feel under pressure to blog, I have started to miss it. Juggling life, job and rest is somewhat hard sometimes and to all you guys who manage to blog constantly, hats off to you. I just prefer lying in bed and watching Harry Potter with a cup of tea after work sometimes. Although don't worry I still love blogging, this blog and all of you, I guess the world seems to be turning time too fast...or I am secretly Hemoine Granger, we'll go with the latter.

I can't believe we are nearly half way in to 2012 already, in 20 days I will turn 26...bloody hell I thought I would be a self made millionaire by now. My hiatus has given me such inspiration, as all I've been doing is collecting and looking at Photography work, watching training videos and admiring other people's work and drive. I've also been debating and contemplating a life changing decision with Dey and after much thought and deliberation we have decided to move our life...8 hours away to Chicago, Illinois. This won't happen for a couple of years yet, but in September we fly there for a holiday and I think it will cement our decision. Bold moves don't come without grand emotions though, and it has been taking over my mind a bit...I lie, a lot...hence the blog title.


This has been my official motto...probably for life tbh, as my Mom instilled in me that tea solves everything, it's been making me smile inside. I have a few things to blog about this week, a pretty dress from Lavish Alice, sweet, smelling candles, Photography. Will catch up with you soon, also if you haven't watched Gossip Girl for this week yet....WATCH IT.

  10. Oh my gosh, how exciting! You should absolutely go for it, I really regret that Tom and I haven't taken the opportunity to live abroad; I love America and would love to live over there. Now we have bought a house and have the pup it feels like it would be such a massive commitment to sell and up sticks and I do wish in a way we'd done it before we took on so many things! My friend moved out to Ohio last year and is marrying her boyfriend (who lives out there) in September which is awesome as she'll get residency then I think (though that's obviously not the reason why!) Can't wait to hear more about your plans!xxx

  12. I love once you put your mind to something new and being inspired by others is such an indulgence I enjoy... I'm currently looking for something new to get my teeth into :)
    By the way, it's amazing you've decided to move to Chicago! I'm hoping that within the next ten years to move to San Francisco!
