Monique Ihuillier Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2014
I think Monique’s been looking in my wardrobe and copied the colours for this line šĀ
Two Broke Girls, Beth Behr Leather Jacket to die for!
I recently tossed out my leather jacket from H & M that I’ve had for about four years. Ā
Losing a friend
Iāve dealt with death many times in my life.Ā Iāve written post about it before.Ā From a very young age Iāve had close friends and family members pass and I guess Iāve been able to somehow deal with it and move on.Ā Till now.
Love
Itās the 40th year of my parentās marriage.Ā When I think about this great milestone it almost brings tears to my eyes mostly because Iām not there to celebrate with them.Ā I cannot begin to express the admiration and immense love I have for them.Ā They are the greatest examples of love and respect and best expressions of the vows: for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health.
Ignorance is not bliss
āThereās no health, without mental healthā.Ā Ā Itās this singular reason why Iāve been wanting to write a post about mental health (awareness) for a while now.Ā On Feb 12, Bell will have their āLetās Talkā Campaign, which encourages consumers to talk about mental illness and while I definitely support this initiative, I think mental health awareness should be carried out everyday.
The Help
I couldnāt think of a better title for this post (thanks, Kathryn Stockett! :D)Ā But this post has nothing to do with the book per se, except of course for the subject matter.
Iām four and a half months into motherhood and Iāve been thinking about and have gained a new appreciation for the help, i.e. houseboys, housegirls, garden boys, a.k.a. servants.Ā
An Ode to my Dad
I havenāt forgotten, Dad, about our long silent trips to school on the dustyĀ road to Masaiti.
I havenāt forgotten about how the car would breakĀ down and you would recruit the locals to help change the tire. I would beĀ embarrassed, but it would also make me giggle because it was typicalĀ you.
Entering the world of Mum
It doesnāt take getting pregnant for me to appreciate my mum.Ā I always have, often quietly, thinking about how she put up with me, let alone my two older siblings.
