WEEKLY DIARY: 10 things that amaze me this week

1. I love Evan Robertson's lovely literary art prints featuring quotes by famous authors. There are many great ones but these 2 are my favourites :


The right time is any time that one is still lucky to have. -Henry James
"A calendar on its side transforms itself into an arrow. Time is ticking. Let's go."


Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket. -Victor Hugo
"As the hand reaches down for whatever it can find, an empty pocket transforms itself into a sailboat."

2. How great is this child abuse poster!
This is a poster made by The Spanish organisation ANAR Foundation (Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk). They started a new street poster campaign that uses the process of lenticular printing to secretly send a message to abused children without alerting their abusers, even if they're walking together.
Anyone over 4'5" sees this view, with a caption: "Sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it."Anyone shorter sees the beaten child version of the poster with another caption saying: "If somebody hurts you, phone us and we'll help you."




















3. I love this idea. Blind date with a book :)

4. OMG I love this pancake & butter cushion/pillow! So cute ^^


5. And I love this iPad holder. S-hhhh, don't disturb, it/he looks so serious & wise :)

6. I'm not the best singer, but this thing is so cool hey!


7. I love this hot tub that flows from the inside to the outside. Seems so heavenly!

8. Wow, a bed that never ends! Thank God I don't have this, otherwise I would never get out of bed ;)

9. Bathroom lights that resemble stars. So romanticcccc...

 10. Sparkly bathroom tiles that resemble a beach. Are you kidding me? How blissful :)



I love what Mark Hoppus said:
"Don't tell her she looks good in the dress. Tell her, 'you make that dress look amazing.' It's about her, not the dress."

Some facts that I learnt from http://neurolove.me :
Need to tell a believable lie? Include an embarrassing detail - nobody doubts a story that makes you look dumb.

People love to talk about themselves. Ask questions & it'll make you seem more interesting to them, without doing anything!

Research on physical appearance and attractiveness suggests that 'self care' is the most important factor in determining a person's physical attractiveness. Physical attractiveness is not really how symmetric or beautiful your face is, but how well you groom and take care of yourself.

I love these quotes :

"Be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you've been mean to someone, they won't believe the nice anymore."
-Laurell K. Hamilton, A Stroke of Midnight

"People do not seem to realise that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Close your eyes & imagine the best version of you possible. That's who you really are, let go of any part of you that doesn't believe it."
-C. Assaad

ALWAYS BE KINDER THAN YOU FEEL.

Until next time :) x
