Loads of the blogs I follow have been promoting this Aussie competition to become part of the angels team and considering I'm a big fan of their products I thought I'd enter. I have to write a post on how I'd lighten up my life this spring so here goes.
I believe that by improving little aspects of my mind, body and soul I can definitely make my life a lighter and happier place this spring.
I believe that by improving little aspects of my mind, body and soul I can definitely make my life a lighter and happier place this spring.
First of all, mind! Since the weather is getting nicer by the day I want to explore more of the culture London has to offer. Yes, I know I'm often frequenting the V&A which is a lovely museum but I want to visit galleries and exhibitions I've never been too before in order to broaden my horizons a bit. I also want to discover all those little venues in the deepest, darkest depths of London and enjoy new art and music.
Body is a really important one to me as I've been trying to loose weight at the minute. Thanks to an excellent post by Helen, today I started running and making a concious effort to get fit and healthy. My first run was hard work but afterwards I felt really good about myself so I'll definitely be sticking to it. I'm following the couch to 5K plan and by the summer I hope to fit enough to participate in a charity run.
I also want to make myself and soul a happier place by spending more time pampering myself. I don't mean by going on a massive shopping spree but instead taking time to relax by having long baths, not rushing around trying to pick an outfit and enjoying a bit of piece and quiet where I can enthral myself into a good book and not just flick through glossy magazines.
With a few other things thrown in such as great company from amazing friends, a big old smile on your face and a spring in your step you (and I) can definitely have a lighter spring. You can also enjoy some pictures of me smiling like a loon and trying to look half decent whilst jumping. I feel lighter all ready =)

I have a really bad 'habit' of almost never leaving any comments on any blogs that I read (umm.. the handful that I do anyway).. but you've been so kind to leave me one so many times so here I am..haha
ReplyDeleteI like your top best.. I have something in a similar theme that I picked up on my recent holiday, but it's not scalloped at the hem and has batty flowy sleeves.
And I prefer loon photos any day
I think I look like a loon most times
but then I just pick some non-looney ones for my blog so people don't think I'm too weird
Good luck with your comp entry!!

PS - I think the best way to put a spring in your step is to buy an actual spring.. or a pogo stick. People should take things more literally.. sometimes..
gorgeous outfit. i love it ! :)
