Music Monday!

This week's song is...

We Are Young by Mika


I discovered this song today,
I was going to post another one by Mika,
But didn't like the meaning behind it,
But that song lead me to this one.

And I love this one,
It's makes you just wanna stand up and sing the song at the top of your lungs with force behind it.
Hope you enjoy it too.

Have A Great Weekend!!!

Sparklers + Friends = Evening of Fun!

Tonight a group of friends decided to go up Mount Wellington in the freezing cold

And play with a camera and some sparklers!

Thanks to Camilla's awesome camera skills!

And our team of friends Lisa, Luke, Collette and Hayden

Here are a couple of the photos...

Awesome night with friends.

Love the idea of playing with sparklers that Camilla and Lisa came up with!

Can't wait to play with these again!

Before I Die...

What is important to you??

A couple of weeks ago I found a awesome project called 'Before I Die'

I think this project is so cool,

Wish we could do something like this in Hobart.

Pop over to Candy Chang's website to see what other projects she is up to.

"It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you. With help from friends and neighbors, I turned the side of an abandoned house in my neighborhood into a giant chalkboard to invite people to share what is important to them. Before I Die transforms a neglected space into a constructive one where we can learn the hopes and aspirations of the people around us"

Quote and photos from Candy Chang.

So... What do you want to do before you die??

 

 

 

 

 

10 Simple Things!

HEY EVERYONE!!!!

Hope everyone is having a awesome week so far!

My week has been great so far, 

And so will the rest of my week!

This week I would like to introduce you all to Laura

I love her blog, she is only a new blogger

So pop over to her blog 'Musings of a Orange Sheep'

Check it out and say hi!

10 Things that make Laura happy!!!

1. Laughing: This is something i try to do everyday! It is my favourite way to express myself. My friends can make me laugh until I cry. It is awesome.
2. Baking: Who doesn't love the smell of a chocolate cake rising in the oven? I bake to relax and then I give away the stuff to not gain a 1002 pounds.
3. Finding a seat on the subway: The you I feel when there is an open seat on the subway is pure bliss. When I am sitting, I can open a book, hold a bottle of water, and listen to my ipod... all at the same time without worrying about falling over when the train suddenly stops.
4. Reading a good book: My favourite part about reading is when a book is so good that you lose track of time and before you know it, it has reached 3: 00am and you MUST. CLOSE. THE. BOOK. NOW!
5. Cool Weather: when you can throw on a pair of boots and a scarf without passing out from a heat stroke. Seriously... bring on Fall!
6. Cute Shoes: I love shoes! My favourite shoes are ballet flats, because they really go with almost any outfit and they come in so many styles. I need a new pair of shoes.
7. When my Ipod shuffles to a jam from childhood: Spice Girls, I'm looking at you. Call me crazy but when Britney Spears or Backstreet Boys come onto my Ipod, I smile and it reminds of childhood when things were so easy.
8. Skyping with friends and family: I recently moved to a new city where I know nobody, so I get really happy when I can talk with my friends and family online. It has been a great way to not feel homesick or lonely.
9. Bright Colours: I wear them, I eat them, I decorate with them, and I incorporate them into my life as much as possible. Bright colours give me energy and they make everything more fun!
10. My Cat: She is a feisty little 3 year old cat. She loves attention when it is on her terms and she will let you know when she is angry. SHe has been a great companion on my journey and I love the cute little white tip on her tail.

Music Monday!

This week's song...

Without You by Hinder

The other night I had my iTunes on random and came across a band that I had totally forgotten about and had not listened to in a while. 

That's what happens when you have over 10,000 songs in your iTunes library!

Remember their song 'Lips of an angel'

Well this song is now my current favourite from the band

And also one of my songs of the moment too.

I really love this song especially for the video.

Just is kinda a reminder that break ups aren't the end of the world

And that it can been for the better, 

That you life can be better without them.

Grateful...

I am grateful to have the gospel in my life.

I am a stronger and better person with the spirit of the Lord in my life daily.

Life problems that three years ago would have been so hard for me,

Now seem like a tiny little speed bump that I hardly notice.

The gospel makes me want to always be improving myself,

It gives me the confidence to do what scare me.

It give me the power to heal from past events.

It always me to live a fuller life.

I am a happier person with the gospel in my life.

All I had to do is let Him in to my life.

To trust Him and to share my life with Him.

He cares for me, and wants the best for me.

Apology from Andy Levy to Chris Brown.... HA!

Love this heart felt apology from Andy to Chris.
I've read over some of the tweets and I al totally on Andy's side!

This video is hilarious!
Hope you enjoy!
