There's a Fire in my Soul




Happy Friday ladybirds!! Finally the end of the week and I am glad for it, am feeling a bit tired. Thankfully next week my husband is off work, so I can have a bit of a break. And hopefully the weather will stay still for a wander outside. This is a piece of work I did some time ago (it's a manipulation, using a photograph I took and using different layers to get this effect) sort of a self reflecting piece of how I feel inside called 'Fire in my Soul'. It's a positive piece..everyone has a fire burning within them and sometimes things in life try to come along and blow them out, but we have the power to keep them raging and burning brightly when we believe in ourselves and stay true to who we are. Plus, the bright colours warm me up :) Hope you like it! Wish you all a wonderful weekend and lots of fun!!


Love love

* The Alternative Wife is having a lovely giveaway from Plum Pretty Sugar lingerie on her blog. See there how to enter as it ends on the 12th of February.  
 
* I came across Stella McCartney's Fashion Message to the world and it's consumers and found it quite moving. I admire her love and determination and belief. Do check it out if you haven't seen it already. Do be warned it is not for the sensitive viewer.

* I really want my nails to look like this: Peter pan Collar nails!

 * Who knew Fire alarms could look so sweet!?! Check this birdy fire alarm out!!  I hope that everyone has a properly working alarm in the required areas of their home. Fire safety is important. My dear friend passed away from a fire as a teenager, so I take fire safety seriously.

* If you like to take care of yourself and eat right, then check out these Recipes for Natural Living there a bunch there I intend to try! Also below, I found this and though I've researched a lot of what gets put into products, I thought to share it with you anyways. I know some will just use any product they find, but it's quite important to research products, as they can have ingredients in them that someone might not know they are allergic to and react badly too. But, on a silly note, how cute are her knickers/pants or undies!?! Hahaha..I like them!





P.s.
The Blonde Muse always posts interesting links on Fridays, so I thought I'd join in for this week too since I had things to share...check her beautiful page out, I do enjoy her posts :)

P.s.s..

  15. I have always loved looking at black naked branches, stretching up against a darkening sky. For some reason it makes me feel calm...So you see why I love this picture you made :) The fiery colors warms me up, which is really needed right now - Sweden is full of snow and far too cold to be amusing for the moment! Have a lovely weekend darlin'! xox

  21. There's so much to comment on I don't know where to start x

    I recently read a poem, which I loved, that was about all people having a fire in their soul so it's quite funny that you should mention it. The colours are definitely wonderful :)))

    - Those Peter Pan Collar nails are aodrable! I really really like them, so hooked on trying to make them!!

    - Those recipes for natural living was just what I needed. Need to turn my life around and be more healthy and natural so this was just perfect timing.

    - Congrats on the 'Cute Blog Award' you really deserve it. You are one of my favourite blogs to read so it's nice to see you get something as lovely as that award :)!

    And I really liked the questions you had to answer. You should do more of those X

    Happy weekend xo
