I may make my own TiLT logo eventually, in fact I intend to make logos for all of the regular post, but that requires a certain degree of design talent I’m not sure I have. Until I come up with something, I’ll stick to using Gala’s logos.
Sorry about the sheer volume of admin posts this week, as I said yesterday, normal service will resume shortly. I feel a lot more on top of things now that I’ve done the survey though – it’s nice to have a really clear idea of where this blog is going and what I want it to be. I’ve had quite the sparkly week so far, (aside from a couple of mis-haps including the boiler breaking) so here’s what made it glitter!
* Semi Detoxing – I’ve been slowly cutting down the amounts of sugar, caffeine and refined carbs I consume each day and it really seems to be working now! I’ve gone from someone who drinks about 5 cups of coffee throughout the working day to one cup in the morning a couple of times a week if I need it, and one when I get home as an energy boost before I get on with my evening. I’m feeling a lot better for it!
* Chick Flicks – Thanks to everyone on Twitter who recommended some to me, I’ve really enjoyed embracing my girly side, spending my evenings watching the girliest movies ever!
* Filling the house with fresh air – It’s so nice to have all the windows open and the smell of spring filling every room!
* Strawberries – Aren’t they awesome? I could eat them every day! I’ve been taking them to work for lunch and they brighten up my day!
* My New Blog Project – Don’t worry, Sparkle and Glitter will still be my main focus, but I’m also quite excited about the side project I’m starting up. This one will be a little more collaborative, and some of you may well receive emails from me shortly asking if you wish to participate. If you love blogs and want to know more with a view to possibly becoming a regular or one-off contributor, email me using the contact form above and I’ll send you some further details! That’s all I can really say at the moment, the big unveiling will come soon!
* Etsy – Browsing Etsy for future Sparkle Shopping posts as turned into an obsession and I’m also planning to open my own store soon. I imagine any money I make from it will promptly be used to buy things from other sellers!
* Things happening at the right time – In line with my resolve to look on the bright side of everything, I am glad our boiler chose this week to break. Last week was quite cold still, we needed the heating, whereas this week has been almost summer-like in comparison!
* Other: Mikado – readily available Pocky, yay! Surprisingly fast downloads, healthy food I want to eat, great eBay finds, being more organised than usual, new Gossip Girl, posh cosmetics samples.
What’s made your world sparkle this week?
Congrats on the semi-detoxing! I’m not a huge advocate of the “detox” thing (I don’t think that cutting out whole food groups is great – the body is designed to deal with these things!) but definitely go go go on the reducing caffeine!!!
I’m also loving new Gossip Girl (thankfully it returned!), healthy foods, fresh air and chick flicks! Sounds like you’re having a fab week
I’m going to put up a list of my own on my blog. You’ve inspired me to do it again!
Congrats on the detoxing! I actually need to try this out myself. I drink way too many sodas and not enough water myself. I don’t even want to talk about the rest of my diet. lol I love strawberries too. We have a strawberry farm here and I love to go pick fresh ones. They are too great!
And I can’t wait to see your new blog project. Sounds like it will be very interesting.
