Thought For The Day.

This quote really made me laugh out loud. Even though it has a lot of humor in it...I think it has some truth too. No one who loves you should break your heart, they should treat it like the delicate treasure it is. And a punch in the face seems like a fair exchange anyway. And any broken heart needs ice cream, right? I like the idea behind this quote. G x

"If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Oh sure, it seems obvious now, but you'd be amazed at how many people don't think of it when it's relevant. Seriously, just punch them in the face and go get some ice cream." - Chuck Klosterman

This is one of my favorite quotes at the moment. I could not have said it better.

Love is everywhere we just have to open our eyes and see it. Things really aren't as bad as they may sometimes seem ;) G x

I Want!!!

Mmmmh these shoes are so yummy. They are called Paez and they are the new thing. I must say I love them all! These little gems are made in Argentina and they offer a 125% money back guarantee...thats just how comfy and awesome they are. I am sold by the amazing designs, I kind of want one in each colour too. I managed to find a supplier here in Durban (after much hard looking!) and have ordered a few pairs. Yay. Will let you know how they are. They sell in various countries and can be shipped to most places, so keep your eyes out for these ones...they are going to be big. (Contact me if you are looking for a supplier in Durban.) x G

Pretty.

Hey Everyone...Look what I have found for you. These are some beautiful mood boards from a site I simply love! Polyvore. This site allows you to create your own fashion mood boards or collections using clothing in stores, such as Dolce & Gabbana, Topshop, Fendi and Miu Miu. You can add in your own images and play around with fonts and colours to create your very own mood boards! Then if you like you can save them and even allow them to be published on the site for others to admire. It is so much fun, you can literally loose hours on this site. Have fun ;) G

Love!!!

Oh my goodness, these are the cutest little guys ever!! Please may I have one...please, please, please! Seriously...please.

Jonathan Safran Foer's Tree Of Codes

I must admit I am one of those people who skips meals and ignores my phone when I get stuck into a awesome book. And as a designer I not only like to be challenged intellectually when I read a book I also like to be visually drawn into what I am reading. So when I found Jonathan Safran Foer's latest book, Tree of Codes, I was so excited! This book takes the integration of writing and design to a new level. This book is described as much a sculptural object as it is a work of fiction. Jonathan Safran Foer has taken his favorite book, The Street of Crocodiles by Polish-Jewish writer Bruno Schulz, and used it as a canvas, cutting into and out of the pages, to arrive at an original new story. The result is a text of cutout pages, with text peeking through windows as the tale unfolds. It is amazing. This guy is amazing!!! Go check him out. (He also writes a book called Eating Animals, which is truly spectacular, every single person should read it and open their eyes to the facts of their "food") G :)

"Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living" - Jonathan Safran Foer

Hello Old Friend.

My old friend has come to visit me...her name is insomnia. And I don't really like her. Seriously last night I got 3hours sleep! It is insane because I love my sleep...I mean love my sleep. My bed and I have a special relationship and every time I fall into it, life is perfect! I normally sleep late, fall asleep easily and sleep through the night like a bear in hibernation!!! But about half a year ago, my heart was broken. It was like I stepped into a black hole. Everything changed. And for a long time I was broken and sleep completely eluded me. But this only lasted a few months till my bodies natural survival instinct kicked in and said, "Oh, hell no...you're not staying up all night again!" (I am so thankful for that strong, demanding, often annoying, little voice inside my head.) Anyway, so I started sleeping like the dead again...but lately, something has changed and I don't know what it is. I can't seem to tap into that happy, sleepy place I long for! Ah it sucks. I lie awake, staring at the clock, hating my silly self for been all bright eyed and bushy tailed. Eventually the bed feels so uncomfortable, its hot and then cold and I keep getting tangled in my blankets. It is so frustrating I often want to scream! I mean bedtime is my happy time, I enjoy been surround by blankets, snuggled and dozy, I enjoy dreaming, I enjoy waking up and realizing its too early and I get to sleep for a few more hours. Now sleeping is almost painful, I don't dream and I wake up late every morning and have to rush to be at work on time! Grrr! Can anyone relate? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fall snuggly back into slumber? It would be appreciated...sleepy, G :|

The Clouds

Sometimes I like to lie with the clouds.

I float, completely alone.

The emptiness excites and overwhelms me.

They quietly hold me.

Soft and gentle they rock me.

No questions or whispers, only sweet silence.

They curl and twist around me.

My cocoon.

We drift in and out of nothingness.

My escape.
