Photos of the week and holiday talk

These are some photographs I have found from all corners of the internet in the past week or so, that have been saved into my ever growing picture folder of ‘random photos I like’. Most of them are animal related 🙂 And I daresay you’ll agree that its quite hard to look at each one and not want to smile a tiny wee bit inside? I do enjoy some beautiful photography, lomography, film stills, graphic design, typeography, illusatration and whatnot… Things you see that make you go ‘ooooh, blimey’, and feel all inspired inside. Staying inspired is something very important to me – Im studying within a creative industry and I get seriously depressed when I’m not painting/making things/looking at pretty things other people have made. So thats why each week I’m going to post some nice pictures that have made me smile, or made me want to jump around and do something creative. www.cuteoverload.com is the BEST website to go to when you feel a bit down and need cheering up. Have a look and you’ll soon see why. It’s not necessarily that ‘creative’ or ‘inspiring’ per se, but it never fails to make me go auwwww.

Can’t wait till payday at the end of the month so I can buy a last final haul before my holiday. Gonna need the obvious things like suntan lotion, aftersun, and mini toiletries for our 2 week adventure. Will maybe take a cheeky wee visit to Mac and Topshop once I’ve sorted out everything for my case, just to make sure I’ve got everything I need 😉 But I’m gonna be spending a lot of time relaxing and so I’m looking to buy a few good books to take with me to read. On ebay im watching a cheap copy of The Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, I know the film is coming out soon so I was wanting to read the book before I saw it! Il probs head into waterstones and have a long wander about and see what catches my eye, but can anyone suggest some good reads that I could take with me? Also, I’ve heard mixed reviews between St Moritz Fake tan mousse, Famous Daves tanning mousse (or moisture tanner) and St Tropez fake tan intensifier (is it a gradual fake tan? or alternatively the St Tropez gradual tanner) If anyone has used either of these products and gives it the thumbs up, or thumbs down, I would appreciate if you could let me know 🙂 Wanting to keep my tan topped up when I come back from Portugal.

Toodles! 🙂
