Hometown Glory – Part One: A Proud Hammersmith-ian!

If  you didn’t already know, I’m proud to declare that I’m from Hammersmith, London :-D ) If you know the place, you may have seen some of its beautiful architecture already (& yes, of course I’m biased…), Today, I wanted to really open your eyes & share with you just some of what we Hammersmith-ians have to offer, in pictures – so here you go:

So, what do you think? When I look at these, they feel like ‘home’ :-) Be sure to look out for part two of this post, which will bring you more snippets & trivia about Hammersmith. Until then, love. ❤ xX

With the newest addition to my collection – These beauties are the Adidas Hard Court Hi-Tops in purple, white & silver. Okay, if I’m honest – I love all my sneakers equally – the exact same way lying parents say they love both their problem child and their straight-A student as they stand together in the hallway, but these straight-A’s know they’ll always receive an extra few pounds of lunch money! :-P

In other news…

I met West Ham United footballer John Carew!

I was having dinner earlier this week with a friend in Fulham, and Mr. Carew was eating at the same place! I had to ask for a piccy, he’s gorgeous up close! :-D

Live and love…

Today, I felt like I needed to write a simple post reminding myself, and you guys that nothing is more important than how you are feeling…and while I don’t mean that in a selfish way,  I do I mean it literally.

How you feel affects others because when you’re in a good mood people feel good around you, and when you feel down in the dumps, others can tell and often feel awkward or bad around you.

What I think is even more important than that, is how you treat people who feel blue and what you do for them.

Personal experience has shown me the huge effects of putting a smile on the face of a friend, family member or a stranger just because I know how good it makes them feel.

You can do something simple, like telling them a joke, or something bigger – like helping them out of a sticky situation, but whatever it is, do it if you can.

I wrote a post a short while ago complaining about things I wish people wouldn’t do, and point number 7 talked about how much I get annoyed when people give something, only to receive something (in friendship) – I just believe that when you do something for someone, you should do it because you care about how it makes them feel & I promise, if you do that, you’ll feel great too!

There are just too many stories of  about lonely, helpless, upset or angry people, and they always leave me wondering “what if…”

…So try & make someone smile today! :-)

Let’s have some silly fun together!

Hi guys, sorry about the wait, I’ve been mega busy and wasn’t able to post last week (more details on that in the next post…)

Today, I wanted to keep it short and sweet and share two things with you that I found recently online & just loved.

Interactive animation is so much fun, as is general time-wasting on the internet, and now you can enjoy both of these things at the same time via these cool online “choirs” – just click the image screenshots below!

(P.S. IMO, the one with the men with bored face expressions is much better than the one with the ponies)

When you’re done, be sure to come back and let me know what you think! Enjoy! :-)
