'There is so much to smile about.'

In an attempt to be more positive and appreciate the beauty and wonder life has to offer, I thought this quote was relevant. So next time your day isn't going as planned, or you find yourself a little down, keep smiling and remember all of the great things life has to offer.

Getting a selfie with Tim Dormer!

Hey there! How is everyone? Me? Well lately I've been quite well, and very busy too due to the schooling side of my life. At the moment there are so many assessments going on at school, but I am counting down and trust me, there's not long to go now!

To escape the pile of homework that was sitting on my desk, mum took me out for some afternoon tea yesterday to our favourite little place in the city. After that we decided to walk around and see what was happening, and to my luck I met Tim Dormer from Big Brother 2013! 

Myself and Tim Dormer, Australia's Big Brother winner for 2013. 

Tim was just as cool as he had seemed on Big Brother, and just as good looking too!  The thing I thought was great about Tim was that he actually spoke to his fans for a few minutes, not only taking photos with them, but also immersing in conversation. He looked all formal and was suited up for the Logies here in Melbourne, doing well for the winner of Big Brother.

How'd you spend your Sunday night?

Chairs

Sadly the time has come. Sadly I will be returning to school tomorrow after two weeks of bliss. I thought I would distract my heartbreak of the school holidays being over by discussing the last day of school holidays and chairs.

The last day of school holidays has two key aspects:

1. Quickly finishing off any last reminants of homework.

2. Procrastinating in the meantime.

The 2nd point is one quite deceiving. I often find myself writing to-do lists but I find that no matter how many points I write on those lists, procrastination always finds a way in.

So while I should probably be encouraging you to finish those last few errands, I am going to advise that you do as I have done prior to writing this. Have a look at the ultimate source of procrastination, '25 Amazing Pictures of Chairs' at www.photographyblogger.net/25-amazing-pictures-of-chairs/.

You'll be intrigued by the beauty of what we often underestimate, the things that support us and allow us to achieve day-to-day life, chairs.

The Good Friday Appeal

For some, today is the beginning of a weekend filled with the celebration of Easter. While Easter comes with a lot of chocolates and perhaps some presents from the Easter Bunny, it is important to keep in mind those less fortunate.

Today is Good Friday, and for those in Australia you will have heard of the Good Friday Appeal. If you're going to do anything today, I strongly recommend you donate anything- big or small, to the Good Friday Appeal. By doing so, you will be raising funds for well needed education, research and equipment to support The Royal Children's Hospital. 

To donate go to, www.goodfridayappeal.com.au/donate.

Coachella Queen

For those of you that don't know, Coachella is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. It is known for it's stellar line-ups and celebrity attendees. There is however, one celebrity that appears at the festival year after year, which I would deem Coachella Queen due to her groovy attire. Who is the celebrity? Vanessa Hudgens! Year after year Vanessa gets it right, dressing very young and bohemian, mostly alongside her beau Austin Butler... And who can blame her!

Let me know what you think of Hudgens' style...
