I love the idea of playing perfect hostess.

luxury goodies to make your guests feel all warm and cozy.

  How cute, seriously!

A few well chosen bit and bobs and you are on your way.

plus you will have mega brownie points.

Check out this lovely post at brooklynlimestone for the how tos.

speaking of guests, 4 sleeps until my Mum arrives in Sunny NQ

I wonder if I could pull this together before then??

It might be clean sheets and fresh towels and maybe a new magazine instead.

Happy Sunday peeps!

fucking great

Picture this: You're at the bookstore. You're having a crappy day. You pull a book off the shelf and one of these cards falls out. What is it? It's a tiny message from the universe that says "Hey, you don't suck. You are actually awesome." And you smile and maybe your day gets a little less crappy. And you take the card home and put it on your bulletin board, because you ARE doing a fucking great job.

go buy these! by emily mcdowell

love joy

10 things

Ten Things I've learnt as I've gotten older

1. learning to give myself some credit and maybe cut myself a bit of slack.  

It's ok for things not to be perfect.  well most of the time anyway.

2. learning to say no.  I have always been a people pleaser my whole entire life.  

It takes courage to say no sometimes and not feel guilty about it.

3.  Realising that you can't change others.  

People are who they are.  Accept it and go with the flow.

4.  I regret doing that exercise. Said no one. ever.  

Moving always makes me feel better.

5.  Sleep is so important!  

and I am happy to trade nights out for a night in.

6.  Understanding the beauty of your oldest friendships.  Cherish them!  

Those are the ones that stick with you through thick and thin.  

and they know you better than anyone else.

7. Time heals pretty much everything.

8.  A problem shared is a problem halved

Learning you can't do everything on your own.

9.  Positive energy attracts things you want in life 

10.  Music heals all.

Love Joy
