Time to reflect on all the brilliance from the past week! Was your week a stellar one? I think you already know mine was!
Before I get into it, remember you’re all invited to participate in the In Spaces Between love-fest by leaving your list in the comments below. Reading about what’s making other people happy gives me the warm and fuzzies and I can guarantee seeing it in words in front of you will make you smile too!
1. You
Today’s ‘Making Me Happy’ post is totally dedicated to all of you! My wonderful family, beautiful friends, incredible readers – you all blow me away with your awesomeness and your unwavering support! I’m not even sure if you realise how grateful I am to you for voting for us in The Lane’s Dream Wedding Competition, for sprinking the love around the interweb and for asking your friends and family to throw a vote in the ring for us too. It means the world and if we win this thing, it’s because of you. A sincere, bottom-of-our-hearts thanks and big squeeze from Ramai and I. We’re truly blessed to know you. Oh and by the way, that’s you blowing my trumpet saxophone (?) in the picture above. Love what you’ve done with your… beak.
2. Amazing Face
I’ve spent a little bit of time with the lovely Zoe Foster and I can tell you (with a generous helping of enthusiasm) that she’s an absolute gem. I’ve followed her career from back in her beauty editor days at Cosmo, to Fruity Beauty and Primped and now as an author of some damn fine books and I love it all. ALL. OF. IT. My copy of Zoe’s latest book, Amazing Face, arrived in the mail on Monday and she’s a beauty. Literally. Or full of beauty. Whatever.
Anyway, if you’re even remotely interested in “clever beauty tips, should-own products and spectacularly useful how-to-do-its” then this book needs to live at your place. You’ll be amazed at what you’ll learn! Want more? Have a laugh at Zoe making up her boyfriend’s face. And yes, that is Hamish Blake from Hamish & Andy.
3. Trail Mix
My old friend trail mix has been getting me through the past few days which have been slightly… NUTS. That is all.
4. Glasshouse Candles
I’m a huge scented candle junkie and Glasshouse are up there with the best. What can I tell you about them? They’re Australian made, triple scented (and come in THE MOST amazing fragrances – my favourite is the Vanilla Noir, which makes my house smell like a cupcake factory), they have two wicks, last forever and come in these beautiful jars that you’ll definitely want to keep for future use. Love them.
5. Audrey and Grace
How cute are these vintage images of Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly having fun! Must have been thinking about “what makes them happy”, huh?!
6. This poster
Because we all need a reminder sometimes!
Other tidbits: dreaming about doing a juice cleanse (random!) + my new black and white icons on In Spaces Between (you like?) + waking up the morning after you’ve applied fake tan and feeling summery + grey Dior eyeshadow + thinking about our jaunt to Melbourne next week and getting excited about hang time with awesome friends + OPI Bubble Bath nail polish (oldie but a goodie) + 11.7.11 + Ramai, as always!
