Bucket List Tid Bit

Happy Monday Everyone!

Ok, so I know I was talking to you all about Bucket List before and while mine is still being worked on.

I've been researching others, doing some deep thinking and just a pinch of reflecting and I found this great little picture of one on Tumblr last night doing just that.




Seems like a good set up to me. Get though everyday, have fun and don't forget to have Pizza.

And with those every basic guidelines, go forth into the week and live the best you can.

So do tell, how have your Bucket Lists been going?

Four Idols & Me

So lately I've been thinking about idols and those we look up to. 

It seems lately you can't swing a bag without finding a celebrity who thinks they're an idol or complains they don't want to be one. 

Well I think idol is all in the eye of the beholder. 

And while I do think everyone should try to be the best version of themselves, i think everyone should have someone to look up to. 

I've been thinking about my idols/ those I'd like to be like. 

Now, I have certain family and friend who I look up to and love for tons of different reasons

But I do have my TV heroines!

Drumroll please...

First up, C.J Cregg from The West Wing. C.J was press secretary to the President, an all around Bad-Ass, the smartest female political mind to grace TV and had a quick wit to boot! 

I look up to her most of all and C.J. is and will be now forever be my idol. 




Next up Lois Lane. I was a super fan of smallville and watched it from day one until the bitter end (Yes I cried at the last episode! No judgement here remember. Nerd until the end guys )

Lois was strong, confident, could kick some serious butt and was ambitious as heck. 

Lois I'd be proud to be your second in command anyway! 




Lorelai, Lorelai, Lorelai.... When I have children and if I have a daughter I will need to be seriously talked out of naming my future daughter after this lady for how much I heart her. 

After a teenage pregnancy, she forged her own path, put herself through college all while working her way up from being a maid to owning her own successful Inn. 

As if her quick tongue and coffee addiction weren't reason enough to love her! 


And last and certainly not least Ms. Blair Waldorf.

Now I know she was a tad crazy in her days but hey who didn't have a crazy few teen years? 

But Blair did sort out her life, got her man and ended up having a beautiful family all while running a multi million dollar international fashion house. 

Yes, she's on the list and the place is deserved, now where did I put my trusty headband from back in the day... 

Hope you enjoyed my list guys.

Who are your idols? Have I overlooked anyone?

Bravo Zara



So I've been a bit under the weather this week. And feeling pretty much like Arnold up there.

And when I'm sick and not in your presence, take it as fact that If I'm at home I'm my pyjamas on the sofa.

And while this does give me time to catch up on past times I miss in flurries of work and assignments like... West Wing marathons for example, and internet window shopping!

The best place for sales (minus the shoving, I might add) and great place to see all the new collections sometimes before they even get into stores.

Last night I lost myself in the new Zara shoe collection. I mean look at these puppies!



...I may just buy them and stare at them.

I'm particularly in love with 9, 2, 7, 6, 8....You know what, I LOVE THEM ALL.

Now I know how Carrie Bradshaw felt, It's a slippery slope ladies.

Im holding my nerve right now but I think the number 9s will be heading my way by friday.

If any of you feel like indulging then here are the links. (Just click the corresponding numbers.)


Let me know if you do, or even send me a pic.

Which ones are your favourite?

Longing for Sundays

Why can't everyday be Sunday?

A day of rest, relaxation and ....



And, more of this... 



Can we please just rewind back to Sunday... or at least move up to this Sunday. 

Really... is that so much to ask for?
