threads >>>  i cleaned out my closet last week, and found a bunch of stuff i'd forgotten about. and after a few weeks of feeling a bit 'bleurgh', i woke up on monday morning and felt like dressing up. so i did. i've never been much of a long skirt kinda gal... but i'm quite liking how this looked {so much that i've ordered two more in different colours :) } the lace top is a vintage find i picked up a  fair earlier in the year. and my old faithful coat - cosy and snug i love it :) i'm happy the weather is cool enough to wear it again. i got these moccasin boots from h&m earlier in the year, comfy and pretty i'd been wanting a pair for ages. i'm trying to grow my fringe out a little, and i'm thinking about changing my hair up. i want to swap the black for a dark brown, and i'm considering getting rid of the red - either for turquoise or maybe blonde.... decisions, decisions.

life >>> life's been something of a rollercoaster ride the past month. so much is changing, and so many challenges have come our way. fingers crossed we're past the toughest and things are looking a little rosier. i'm feeling inspired and full of ideas right now. i've been doing some serious soul work in the intuitive heart sanctuary class that i am part of right now. also, i was lucky enough to win a place in soulodge - delving deep and exploring my shadow. so much of this is so perfectly timed, there is so much i need//want to work through, so much of me to explore and understand. i've been making more of a commitment to myself to drink water, to get enough sleep and to ground myself with plenty of outdoors time. i've been using the waterlogged app on my iphone to keep a track of my water intake. i'm aiming for 64oz each day, but the past couple i've been nearer to 72oz! my body is feeling good for all this fresh water :)

i've been reading a few herb books, ready for the apothecary circle that i signed up for. i'm looking forward to spending a year learning and working towards my certificate in home apothecary {there is still time to sign up - and if you use the code Herbs180 at checkout you'll save 15% off!}

i also finished the painting i mentioned on saturday - first time i've put brush to canvas in months. it felt so good and so healing. i'd forgotten just how much joy i get from painting. it's definitely something that i need to make more time for - what do you think of her?
