Autumn!

Good morning fellow bloggers!

It is indeed a very lazy Autumn day once again today, the sky is mottled grey and the wind is keeping each leaf and branch busy blowing around in every which direction. It is rather cold outside, the airs cool and somewhat damp, I think we're going to get some rain, unfortunately. 

Luckily I'm cooped up inside with the fireplace burning, and Guns 'N' Roses are playing super loudly!

I spent yesterday lounging around doing pretty much nothing for the entirety of the day, and I am determined to have an at least slightly more productive day than that today. 

All this cold weather makes me want hot freshly made soups and breads and winter casseroles. Warm food is so comforting on so many levels when the weather is cold.

So, this picture is totally irrelevant to anything previously mentioned in this post but I had to share it with you because I think the artwork is so beautiful and the tattoo is so whimsical and lovely that it makes me glow on the inside. Yes, I do get that excited over well done tattoos. When I get a piece of art inked into my skin one day, I hope it turns out as magical as something like this.

I hope you're all having a wonderful week, no matter what you're doing, and that you're keeping your toes toasty warm!

Pinterest!

This-morning after looking at my friends newly made Pinterest page, I decided I'd give it a whirl too.
I'd contemplated it before, but wasn't entirely sure how it worked.
Now I have a pinterest, and it is super easy, and SUPER addictive!
Yikes, just another tool spawned for distracting me, ha ha. 

But really, it's so great. So simple, so cute. I am sure I will become sucked in and have many-a-pin-board within the next few months.

I don't like to make this page too personal but I thought you should know I've had a lot of bad things going on in my life lately. Particularly with the one I love the most. Things have crumbled right down into a pile, but that has only made me ever so determined to fix everything.
I have to take a hold of the reins and lead my own way, because I am the only one who can fix myself and this situation/my life/everything.

Anyway, yesterday Samuel and I went on a little date, as such.
We'd been camping and after a morning of watching friends fishing & wandering around rich, fancy housing estates we headed off home in search of lunch that wasn't too overpriced like the things we'd found in that particular town. We roadtripped home, sang old songs loudly, held hands in the car and danced. Sort of like some species of emu...
Then we pulled into the Bowling Alley when we got back to Kempsey, and ordered a Works Burger (for me) & some chips for him and a Mars Bar milkshake each. Then we played an arcade racing game against each other, and for the first time in my life I won and fluffy toy out of a skill-tester! I was literally that excited, I thought the claw was just going to drop it, and it didn't, and I may have done a little up&down happy jump when I grabbed it out of the machine. Then we went and ate our food by the river in the sun, and he wiped sauce off of my chin and we smiled and got sunburnt and it was all happy.

Anyway, it was really sweet and I'm definitely making sure there's many more cute dates to happen within the future months.

 On the road

Everyone loves pringles!

Days of May.

I went outside into the sun and took some photos. Impulse out of boredom and a longing for something a wee bit creative. I feel like they reflect what I feel today, I'm not quite sure what it is, but here you go.

Sunshine.

It's one of those beautiful Autumn days where the sun's shining and the air is full of warmth until you walk into the shade and the air's pooling with coolness. The sky's bluer than blue and the air's still. I suppose these photographs somewhat simulate the feelings I get from this kind of day. I hope you're all having a lovely, happy day. x

RubyMay.

This girl is just an effervescent bundle of pure talent and loveliness, seriously.
There isn't a thing about her that I don't admire nor envy, she is Sweet with a capitol S and just all round wonderful.
I'm making this post because I think her lovely art needs to be strewn around as much as possible until the whole world has seen it sprinkling down upon them like a shower of confetti.
I have maybe somewhat stalkerishly watched her artworks blossom over the last few years, and I still watch as they continue to bloom along with her beautiful self.
I even have one of my own that sits proudly on my bookshelf in my bedroom.
These are just a few of her amazing little masterpieces, so feast your hungry eyes upon them!

To see more of Ruby's super talent, you can go to her tumblr, like her Ruby&Wolf Facebook Page, 
or if you're feeling super generous you can go HERE!!! and LIKE the photo of her artwork so she can win the Groovin The Moo Tee design! (pictured below!)

 Because I think it's fairly evident that she deserves it.

Love xx

hello there!

I know, I know, I have hardly been posting enough on this blog whatsoever!
My schedule has been jam packed and I have been super stressed and unmotivated and uninspired for weeks on end. I'm making this quick post to give this blog a little nurturing and to tell you; Yes, I am alive.
I am also doing a 30 day health challenge. '30 Days to Healthy.'
I am not treating this like a diet, it is simply to make me feel better inside and out and flush away the toxic waste I have been drowning my body in of late.
There's seriously nothing better than feeling clean, fresh and alive and eating healthy always makes you feel like that.
So here's the link to my 30 day challenge blog .
Feel free to follow, stalk or just peek to see what it's all about. I will be posting every day and keeping you up to date with my food and how I am feeling. Love to you all! xx

Papillionaire Vintage Bikes

 A classic^

 A Sommer ^

 Super Chic Classic ^

Sommer bike in 'Fest' colour. If you gave me this bike I would make you the biggest cake in the world.

That colour and that basket, Squeeee!

 It's a helmet that looks like a watermelon, what more do I have to say!?

 This sunflower bell just makes my heart glow.

A pizza bell. With the Lot!

Papillionaire Vintage Bicycles are a Melbourne based company that design new and absolutely flipping lovely Dutch style vintage bikes.
 I will admit I am not much of a bike rider myself, apart from the occasional trip down my road when I have nothing else to do; However, if I owned one of these babies I think I would be riding it absolutely everywhere!!
There are two stunning timeless designs to choose from, 'Classic' and 'Sommer'.
You can choose which style you want, then choose a colour scheme, and customise it to your liking. Not to mention they stock some super cute accessories (like the few I shared above) on the website. So if  you're into bikes, or just lovely things in general, you should most definitely pay the site a visit!

Personally I do prefer the 'Sommer' style bike, it makes me want to ride around the seaside in the city with bare feet and a straw hat until I am exhausted and then I would stop and rest under a tree and enjoy an ice-cream or lemonade. Gosh, I wish.
