Kind of rude, Vince.

Nicole Believes






Today's list is from my new favorite blogger. 
Her name is Nicole, she is from South Africa but 
lived in London for a long time. 
So glam, right? 
She is back in SA and has SUCH a cute blog that it is difficult to believe 
that she just started it.
Be sure to head over to show her some blog love. 





  • I believe that the universe will never throw something at us that we can’t deal with / pull through the other side. We are all stronger than we know
  • I believe that writing 5 things in my gratitude journal every night makes me wake up a nicer person in the morning
  • I also believe that without a massive cup of super strong coffee first thing, no amount of night-time gratitude musings will help my personality J
  • I believe everyone deserves a second chance at everything
  • I believe that a hug is the best way to resolve any argument
  • I believe that one day I will resolve all my issues surrounding marriage & say yes (finally) to a proposal ..
  • I believe that freshly cut grass is the best smell in the world
  • I believe that Everything Bagels (in NYC) are probably the best thing I have ever had in my mouth
  • I believe that its not that the city is especially romantic (ie Paris) but its down to the person you choose to go with.
  • I believe that everything feels better after a good nights sleep
  • I believe that you should surround yourself with people who make you feel amazing & ditch the ones who drag you down
  • I believe that life should be fun, all the time. And if it’s not you should change it.
  • I believe that having dogs is a sure fire way to include some unconditional love in your life.

Bob Dylan, I love you for writing this.

Spaghetti

Did you know that today is national Spaghetti day?
Well, now you do.
I love celebrating official food days. 
Food tastes more legit on those days.



Kathy Believes


Today's list is from Kathy.
She is one of my in person friends,
 but she is kind of more of a blog friend?
She used to work at the company I work for
and we met at a mutual friend's birthday dinner.
She mentioned her blog, I'd just started mine, and
the blog/facebook love began!
Check out her family blog ESPECIALLY if you have little girls.
She does really cool stuff with their hair.

{Kathy, I couldn't get the photos you sent me to work, so I stole this one from your facebook :)}

I believe that children should say their prayers out loud.

I believe in speed limits…you need to drive AT LEAST that fast.

I believe in cheap sunglasses.

I believe red lights are for texting.

I believe a hot scotch (hot chocolate & butterscotch schnapps) is WAY better than soup on a cold day.

I believe in putting towels under car seats.

I believe limes are better than lemons in water.

I believe bicycles are for children and should only be ridden on side streets, or (even better) cul-de-sacs.

Wishing you....

.......a happy Sunday! 


I just had delicious brunch at Postino with my friend Tony, the lightrail blogger. 
{If you scroll to November 6th on Tony's blog you'll find a post with me in it!}

Then, we headed to the Biltmore fashion park for a lovely hour of browsing the shops. 
 We people watched for hot dads and cute babies while eating delicious MoJo.

Have you smelled the new rose potpourri at 
Pottery Barn? 
It's to die for. 
I couldn't leave without a bag. 

p.s. I have a sassy new haircut

Vieja

I just wanted to let everyone know
that I am sitting at home
on a Saturday night
watching Wheel of Fortune
and doing a cross word puzzle.
By choice.

If you don't hear from me for awhile it is probably because I've broken my hip.
Because I am
NINETY.
