Quotacious Quotes
"Were it given to our human eye to see into the consciences of others, we would judge a man much more surely from what he dreams than from what he thinks. There is will in thought, there is none in dreams….Each of us dreams the unknown and the impossible according to his own nature." -Victor Hugo, Les Miserables.
"A little magic can take you a long way." -Roald Dahl
"Be in love with your life, every minute of it." -Jack Kerouac.

12 Ways To Be More Awesome
A guest post
by Britney Hazeldine
We can all
be awesome! We already are. And these are my 12 tips to making your life that little
bit brighter and happier. Who doesn’t want to lead an awesome and exciting
life? We all deserve it!
Brighten your life through clothes and your space. I
firmly believe that a clean and happy looking environment affects the way you
live and lead your life. I’ve just finished a massive spring clean and it was
amazing!! I feel so so much lighter and, in a weird sort of way, free.

Take time out. Take a moment for you. Sometimes we just need a break and time to recharge. Sometimes it's good to stop and look around at the life that we’ve created for ourselves.

Act like a child every so often. A wise man once said “Never knowingly be serious” and sometimes these are the words I live by. Being relaxed, letting go and being carefree, some of the aspects of a child’s personality, can really do you some good. Have you seen children? I don’t mean the bullying fourteen year old girls. I mean the children from 2-4. Be amazed at the world around you. Because, it is brilliant. And extraordinary. And amazing too!

Quotacious Quotes
I admire anyone who takes the time to make images combining illustration/photography & quotes, or typography & quotes. They really are an effective way of communicating wisdom. With that in mind, today's edition of Quotacious Quotes consists entirely of pictures people have made & prints that I've found.
Enjoy!

Something extra for your pleasure: Lady Gaga's words of wisdom.
So I've had some requests to upload the speech Lady Gaga gave during her concert last night. You may hear me screaming a few times, but mostly I'm quietly taking it all in. I also apologise for the tweens behind me who kept making rude comments. I knew I should've thrown glitter at them.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Have a fabulous weekend xo.
