Sparkle Roundup!

I appear to have given up trying to find relevant photos for these posts! The above is cute, but bears very little relation to the content, however cute is always good!

I hope you’re all having a relaxing weekend which for those of us in the UK is a 3-day break. I know I’m enjoying it!

* Speaking of cuteness, this story about a library cat made me smile, so although it’s not a blog post I couldn’t resist including it in this week’s Sparkle Roundup!

* This article by The Demoiselles definitely expresses my attitude to clothing – “Accentuate The Positive“. For me it’s my legs, short skirts and skinny jeans are my wardrobe staples!

* Positively Present (probably one of my favourite blogs now!) contains a great article entitled “let’s go! 5 steps for getting on the road to your goal” – it’s a really great approach to achieving things!

* “Life Planning“ by Liv is also a rather awesome post along similar lines but with a broader perspective.

* The Positivity Blog has an article that sadly is probably relevant for quite a lot of people right now – “Staying Positive Through a Layoff” with some great advice.

* “From a Place of Love” by Already Pretty poses some great questions about body image etc.

* Copyblogger shares a simple list of tips on “How to Be a Better Writer in the Next 10 Minutes“. For me, point four was the most relevant – I think sometimes I concentrate far too much on trying to write “well” as opposed to just writing.

* Here’s a post I’m going to have a lot of use for over the next month or so! “Revision Busting Tips” by Harriet is really worth reading by anyone with exams coming up!

* Finally, Sarah Von’s “A Five Point Plan” is well worth printing and sticking somewhere you’ll see it every day!

Sorry it’s a little late this week, I had a much-needed exceedingly lazy day yesterday!
