Trust the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
acknowledge the Lord in all you do
and he will show you which path to take.

Useful Ways to Procastinate

Everyone struggles with prcrastination - it's bound to happen when faced with a vomit-indcing task like studying.


LIGHTBULB!





Because I feel a lot better about not studying when I feel like I'm doing something useful, here are 5 USEFUL ways to procrastinate:

One: Do some other work that's actually fun/tolerable. (Thank you, Art)


Two: Tidy your room or cupboards. You'll be grateful later.


Three: Watch some cooking programs (advise Jamie's 30 minute meals) and get yo' chef aaaaaan. Or 'learn how to cook' for the less gangsta folk.


Four: Some personal grooming never harmed anyone... Believe me, no one will moan when you stroll into the next social gathering smelling good and looking even better.

And lastly, Five: Exercise. Depending on your will not to study, you could be looking like the "After" of a diet-supplement advert sooner rather than later.


*side note - you actually should study and not procrastinate to the extent that you write a post about procratination like me.

Soon these luverly bicycles will be available to the public and I, for one, am definitely going to be first in line!

{have a look at Starling and Hero for some other bikes and bike-related goodies}

top 10 pavement cafes in paris

One day when I'll be living the Parisian dream, and it WILL happen, I'm going to need to know where to go and what to do... So, I went and found the top 10 Parisian Pavement Cafes. (Unfortunately, on the web, not in person:( )
I can just picture myself sipping on coffee, eating a croissant and wearing my little red beret with my friends, looking ever so metropolitan.
I love cafes, I love exploring new places and, incase you hadn't guessed, I love Paris.

2 - Aux Folies


























3 - Au Petit Fer a Cheval


























4 - La Sancerre


5 - Chez Prune

A Thousand Splendid Suns



{This spectacular book was written by the same author as The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini.}

Based in Afghanistan, mostly in the early 2000's, during the Taliban's take-over, it depicts the lives of the women during the time and the insane cruelty and predujice that was their reality.

It completely freaked me out that it was relatively recent and that I would have been the same age as one of the character's daughter at the same time. It blows my mind to think of how different my life would have been...

All I can say is that I have a much deeper sense of appreciation for beautiful South Africa, where despite many issues, we have freedom and equality as women.

I STRONGLY advise all of you to read it - especially those of you who are negative about our country. It really will change your perspective. I know it changed mine.

Just a quick post to say how much I love and appreciate my friends.
Truly the greatest people in the world.
That'll be all.
