solitude & sparkling

1/2 piece

2/2 piece

Tonight I find myself in solitude, relaxing with a bottle of sparkling and some stunning music. As much as I adore the company of friends, sometimes it is best to enjoy a Saturday night unaccompanied. Above are two posters I created, in dedication to my two favourite siblings. To my surprise after posting it on their Facebook wall, they acknowledged and re-posted. Such gorgeous creatures! Takes me back to the first time I met them earlier this year, real beautiful souls <3 more about that another time. Happy weekend kids xx  

Listening to: A wonderful Indie playlist created by Blalock.

So it has been a while since I have posted, but I am on holiday now as of today! The feeling of freedom and not having assignments to attend to, does feel refreshing. I think it will take me a while to get used to this though. Melbourne in 16 days! If you would like to recommend sites and places to visit, please do! Above are behind the scene photographs I snapped of B from our shoot the other night. Enjoy kittens!  

Leaving Blues

There was something awfully gloomy and dark about today. 

Was it the lack of sleep, the solitude, or the sudden sad realisation?

It is an unusual coincidence that these photographs turned out so blue.

Oww, I crave affection right now. 



Word: To my mother who cooked my family a vego meal tonight. x

Flaws

A friend of mine recommended this sound to me.
I am very much attached.
Have a listen and tell me your thoughts.

Happy High Herbs

Happy High Herbs Fremantle. I thank you Shi for the recommendation. I am truly infatuated by even the scent of that place. I purchased a herbal Stimulant to rejuvenate my body with energy as well as some relaxation herbs for when I need a bit of escape.  While I was so tempted to purchase some Throb Chocolate, I feel I shall go back in two weeks as a reward for university being complete for the year :-) Have you ever tried products from Happy High Herbs?  

Oh Olive

 

Olive, an abandoned kitten that has struck heavy beats in my heart. I have never felt drawn to animals in the past, but in times so recent I can’t bare the thought of going a few days without playing with one.  If you have been in my presence in the past, you would understand that I have never paid attention to these types of creatures. It is almost as if Olive was sent to Clarise and I, to open our heart up to these innocent, gorgeous animals.  It’s unusual though, the other day I found myself subconsciously stroking a plant in a pot for several minutes before mother snapped me out of it. I was in heavy thought about Olive passing away, and how much it would kill me even though I had only known him for a few days. I believe the universe is calling me…

Eating: Fava beans cooked in spice.
Emotion: Ambitious

My wonderful creation: Broccolli, Cauliflower, tempura, easy mac pasta, tikka yoghurt and cucumber.

the Garden

On the roof drinking apple cider. 

Saturday evening, watching the sun go down while listening to Xavier Rudd left me in a placid, romantic mood.  I couldn’t bare the thought of study at that moment. In exchange I ended up at a park that overlooked the ocean. Watching the ocean ripples, while drinking champs and listening to lovely reggae and soul tracks. Beautiful night. A taste of what’s to come.

A Saturday night spent at home with the family. It has been far too long. Mother prepared a wonderful vegetarian feast. It’s heart warming to know they finally accept that their own daughter will not eat meat.  Coming from an Arabic heritage, apparently it's a 'crime' haha. My Father keeps teasing me and calling me a Buddhist. Fluffy old man. I am being called to help clear the table. Enjoy the photos!

They will hardly find a problem with each other.

Tonight I discovered something wonderful! I am at such a relaxed place in my life. Sitting under the warm tungsten lights, captivated by my intellectual surroundings- I felt so liberated. I am now left to ponder these three thoughts;  

1.       I would like to burn my bra’s sometime soon.

2.       I absolutely adore artichoke, eggplant, capsicum and goat cheese pizza.

3.       I have faith in the stars of the night sky.

Listening to: my thoughts, which tell me I should put Angus and Julia Stone on and go to bed.

Below are photographs I have taken at Little Creatures in the past that reminded me of tonight.
