A bad day...

Yesterday was a bad day.. not sure why and it wasn't for any particular reason but I was just grumpy and feeling blah and everything was annoying me - hmm maybe it is the pregnancy hormones.  In any case, it was nice to go to bed early and see the end of it.

But it got me thinking of what I do when I am feeling down to try and cheer myself up:
  • sweet texts or lots of hugs from people I love.  No judgement, just lots of love - these are the best!
  • comfort food - my go to last night was chicken curry and rice and an iced milo from Toast Box
  • watching videos of my cute little nephew rolling around (he has recently discovered he can do this all by himself and loves it! so cute!).  He always makes me smile
  • watching reruns of one of my favourite funny tv shows

Carla Zampatti turns 50

This year marks 50 years of the iconic Carla Zampatti fashion label.   After being denied a pay rise from her  £13 a week job designing blouses for a wholesale fashion house in 1964, she launched her own label a year later and the rest is fashion history.  The fashion house  celebrated yesterday with the 2015 Spring/Summer showcase in Sydney at the Opera House.   A beautiful, elegant and gorgeous collection.   Well played Ms Zampatti. 

Music memories

I have the office to myself this afternoon so I can ditch the headphones and am turning up the music. I used to be really up to date with music, read music blogs and keep up with new songs, artists, go to gigs.. but this has sort of faded out in the last few years. These days I seem to rely a lot on Spotify and their playlists and recommendations which is great for busy people! But this afternoon I am feeling a bit nostalgic so reminiscing and playing some songs played at our wedding back in 2010 which is bringing back some beautiful memories.   Walking down the aisle:  First dance:

step back....

[...] Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity. - Lao Tsu Some great words of advice c/o Sarah Wilson's blog (another fantastic blog to read!).  As Sarah so wisely says, " The trick, of course, is to know when your bowl is comfortably full, to know when you’ve done enough work. I think you only know that once you step back quietly. In actuality, work is never “done”. There is more we could always do. But we need to realise backing off, releasing control, letting things be for a bit is as essential to creating as doing is." Sometimes we just need to stop and step back for a bit...
