A Little Too Pin Happy (Pinterest)

I created a pinterest account last week.  1,000+ pins and 21 boards later and I’m currently looking for a rehab center. Know a fancy center with no pins in sight? I am having way too much fun creating a pinterest world. My house is getting cozy, my kitchen is well stocked, my walk-in closet holds beautiful clothes, and I have a pretty impressive workout routine down. Some boards I’m thinking of adding are: a boyfriend board – the wedding is already planned, a closet for him – he will be very well dressed, a baby board, and a DIY board – for the extension we are going add outback.

If you have a pinterest account link it below, I need to get my hands on more pins.

Quotes in Picture Frames

I have a few oddly sized picture frames in my room with no photos to place in them. I decided to find a few quotes that speak to me and place them in the picture frames, so I’ll  have inspirational pretty quotes in my room and the photo frames will not stay empty. A few quotes and sayings I am currently considering using are:

Finding yourself and being happy photo frame quotes:

“Get lost and find your self”

“You deserve to be happy”

“You are confined only by the wall you build yourself”

“Anchor yourself to something special”

“Free your mind”

“The only way to succeed is to not worry about what anyone else is doing”

“I have decided to be happy, because it is good for my health”

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams”

“A library is a hospital for the mind”

Being good and kind photo frame quotes:

“Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see” – Mark Twain

“Be so good they can’t ignore you” – Steve Martin

Style photo frame quotes:

Those might be cute near a vanity or in a dressing room.

“Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak” – Rachel Zoe

“Always dress like you’re going to see your worst enemy” – Kimora Lee Simmons

The future and what it holds photo frame quotes:

“There are far better things ahead than any we have left behind” – C. S. Lewis

“Wake up and be awesome”

“Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”

“Start each day like it’s your birthday”

“Rise up and attach each day with enthusiasm”

Dreams and making them come true photo frame quotes:

“If your dreams don’t scare you they’re not big enough”

“Good things come to those that wait but the best things come to those who do”

Book Review: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Courtesy of Harper Collins

The Alchemist has been sitting on my bookshelf for years. It came highly recommended from many people that share my love for books. They told me how its their favourite book, its inspirational, and how it changed their life. I went out and bought it, 6 years later i finally finished reading it. Yes, it is an inspirational book. It even made it on my weekly inspirations post, but i must admit i was disappointed with it. Every year i pick it up and end up putting it. This year i powered through in 2 days and reached the end. Every time i turned the page i was hoping to reach the part where i will be swept of my feet. Some books take a while to grab you, but honestly wasn’t invested in this book till the last 10 pages. At any point i could have put it down and never thought about it again, which i did many times in the past. As i have mentioned in my blog i struggle to keep working on my dreams and the book very appropriately talks about never losing sight of your ‘destiny’. I guess its one of those that you want to love more than you really do. I like the moral of the story, but the plot was lacking in my opinion.

A few quote’s i enjoyed:

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
