Every cloud

Ciao,

Every cloud had a silver lining. This is a phrase that I've grown up with and I love it! Partly because I love clouds but partly because I like the notion.

Yes, there may be heavy grey clouds hauting and daunting your sky, but just look at them. A lacey beauty surrounds each one. A fragile outline that brings true meaning to the word "Pretty". A silver lining.

And then very recently I was reading an article about Looking up, (which I cannot for the life of me find right now!) and it sort of ties in with this idea. It basically said:
When we're just walking around and facing foward, the part of the brain that receive all of the lovely chemicals that make us feel good and happy and confident and strong and just generally lovely, is blocked up!
Not completley.
But almost.
And this means that we're missing out on some feel-good hormones! Boo!
I don't know about you but I want all the feel-goods I can get! So how can we get these hormones flowing again? Simple!

Look up!

When we look up it moves this little bloackage and all the lovely-juvly chemicals start a-flowing. this gives us a sudden boost - like when a stranger compliments you!

So here's a top tip from Vixxie May:

When you feel down, count chimneys, decorate the sky with your imagination and most importanly; find those silver linings!


Well keep your chin up (pun totally intended!) and keep smiling.
And don't worry about those clouds, they'll sort themselves out - always do right?

Cake sale!

Ciao,

So obviously a cake sale at school was going to excite me enough anyway, but when more than a few people turned to look at me when it was announced I was smiling like an idiot for ages! It seems I'm getting quite a reputation!

So naturally I said yes to the challenge and I set about baking a good 45+ cupcakes! Some had chocolate swirls and others had blue icing and blue (Edible!!) glitter!

Suh-weet!

And this isn't like the last time I brought in cupcakes...I actually took pictures! My good camera is broken currently - won't focus - so these are off of my phone.







So there you them! I think we made around £30, but it wasn't all me, there were other cakes too! Still, I was proud!

A lovely book to begin the week

Ciao,

This book has been floating around the interweb for a little while now but I still think of it often and as soon as I can, I'm buying it!
It just makes me smile so much and I've learned it nearly off by heart just through re-reading it!

I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did, so without further ado, I give to you:


By Dallas Clayton.


It is magical.

What's your favourite book and why?

Have a good week!
