It's been a while!

Hi everybody!

I'm not sure whether I should apologize for not updating the past week?

You see, the willingness to write was really there! I promise! It's just that my week has been crazy and I've been so busy that I just couldn't find the rest to sit down and blog.

But I'm back and I'm posting so let's look at what's ahead and not at the past ;)

Above all things, I need to update my Instagram Alphabet as I want to start posting on Instagram again. However, the photo I've already got for the letter H is not really what it's cracked up to be so I'm intending on making a new and girly one instead. The only minor trouble I'll be facing is that the sunny days are gone for a while so I might have to use a flash (which I hate) :( But I've not lost hope and I'm going to do my best to create something pretty to publish ♥

That's for the future, but here's for the present:

It's G! :D

I'm probably going to get really excited, so please just bear with me ;)

G is for Game, Glass, Grimm's Fairy Tales, Gift and Green.

Starting off with the Game, that's the prettiest Game I could find inside my house :p And believe me; we have a lot. You see, my brother LOVES playing games (albeit card games not as much) and his room is loaded with the largest boxes of strategical table games. He plays them with his friends and some take an entire day to finish! I love that he enjoys it so much, but I hate the lengthy time it takes up. My brother is soon-to-be twenty-two and his friends are around the same age, and when there's about 5 young-adults with energy-drinks inside the house it can get really smelly. I don't like smelly. I myself am not really a gamer, but I do enjoy a card game from time to time.

When it's a special day, say, Easter, Christmas or a birthday; I always love to get up a little earlier to deck the table with the prettiest tablecloth/cutlery and also Glasses. :) It's been a while, but my mum always loved to visit second-hand shops to buy pretty cups and Glasses. I suppose the reason she stopped is because the amount of porcelain we've got at home is getting out of hand ;) I love every single cute cup and glass we own, and I felt like this little liquor glass looked really pretty with the rest of the objects in the photo.

Booo-riiing! Let's get to the point where I get really excited! :)))

Grimm's Fairy Tales! Alright, you caught me; When I bought this book I was totally being a hipster and merely bought it for its nice old cover. However, when I got to studying more advanced English in my school I also learned to love the words within it. I will be 16 years old in less than a month, and I'm addicted with fairy tales. I love everything about them. I love the old stories, I love the new versions created by Once Upon a Time, I love the Efteling (a Dutch theme-park revolving all around fairy tales, fables and legends), I love fairy tale musicals and I love Disney ♥ I've adored these stories ever since I was a child, but never as much as I adore them right now. Also; please don't ask me for my favourite! There are so many lovely tales collected by the Grimm brothers but also Andersen that I could never pick a single one :) What I love most about this book that I own, is that it uses this semi-old kind of English that can be a bit of a puzzle to read and pronounce when you're not a native speaker. As I like storytelling, that can be quite a challenge! Especially when there's little songs included in the story and you have no idea how you're supposed to sing them so you just imagine. I love that, imagination. Passive creativity; they wrote down the story and it's up to you to make it sound interesting. I simply can't wait till I've got children and I get to read them bed time stories, I'm gonna make such a scene they'll have to be tired by the end of it ;) I got this book from a second-hand shop, by the way :)

Now who doesn't love some bubbles? This Gift is, of course, not a real gift. It is one of the amazing products from a shop called Lush. I've talked about my undying love for this shop before but I just can't stress it enough. Lush products are amazing. A little expensive at times, but amazing. You get so much great for every euro/dollar/pound you pay ♥ Lush products are made of organic products (I believe) and are not tested on animals beforehand. Lush fights animal testing, and I think that's a great cause. Although recently I have learned many things about ethics and animal testing, I stand with my opinion that it is wrong to use animals for our cosmetics. It's just some sort of gut feeling, please don't ask me about it.

To wrap up this post I'm going to talk about my favourite colour, which is Green. Green and blue, to be honest. I love green because it's a sign of life. The leafs on the trees, fresh grass, forests, plants, mosses; I love it all ♥ I tend to get really excited when I see the first signs of spring, with the little buds in the trees. Then I think; soon the world will be green again :) I love blue because it associates with my favourite place(s) on earth, namely the beach. I love jumping and swimming and laughing in the ocean so I always connect the colour blue with my favourite feeling in the world.

I do hope you liked this update, and that it was a proper make up for the lost time.

Ending this post with my favourite song starting with the letter G, which is Girls by The 1975.    :)

Love,

Eva
