Happy weekend ^^*


Good morning my dears! I hope this beautiful cherry blossom tree brightens up these grey days for you. It's in Regent's Park, London. I love how it looks like candyfloss. If not, then I hope these fun links do the trick:

A note about friendship - I know that at first this seems kind of harsh, but it's kind of true. I've had problems with bad friendships, where people slowly but surely bring you down and zap away all of your positivity. It's sad to let go of friends, especially when you have a lot invested in the friendship, but if it's making you feel bad, perhaps it's best to just let go. What do you lot think about this? I'd be really interested to hear. 

Bra-time! - A super girly tutorial :)

A sleep calculator - I recommended this to my friend Dana but decided to share it here as well. I'm not sure if it works, but it might be a nice thing to try for all you sleepyheads out there.

Chimamanda Adichie's website - for those of you who watched the video I posted and would like to learn more.


and finally, a cheerful song to chase away those winter blues :)

The Danger of a Single Story

I just wanted to share something with you quickly. I was sent this video the other day and honestly it blew me away. The lady has a wonderful way of speaking and as for the content, I just wish everyone could see this so that we stop the silly prejudices that so many people seem to have. 


I think I might be Chimamanda Adichie's biggest fan. I love the way she connects this all to literature. It really is such an important thing to think about, and a matter that is very close to my heart.
