#MusicMonday: My Love Will Never Fail You - Marie Hines

I can't say I am the most lovey-dovey person, but sometimes a good love song is what you need.  This song is so sweet.  It has a great tune to it and Marie Hines has an amazing voice.

Sometimes lyrical fluff is the music your ears need.

#MusicMonday: The Middle - Jimmy Eat World

There are some songs that you just seem to return to time after time. This appeared in my Spotify weekly mix a few weeks ago. And then randomly started playing at a shopping centre whilst I was out one day.

The lyrics really speak to me just now and I was for sure certain that it was a sign... it knew I needed to hear it.

I will always have a lot of love for this song. Its timeless. (truly timeless, can you believe it was released in 2001)

#MusicMonday: Wind Beneath My Wings - Idina Menzel

I am such a fan of Idina Menzel, I was lucky enough to see her on tour in 2015 and was blown away by just how talented this lady is. It has genuinely been a love affair since I first heard the Wicked Soundtrack.

I first listed to her rendition of Wind Beneath My Wings whilst I was in a bad place and sobbed. Like could not control all the emotions inside of me and just cried. It was beautiful.

I'm not a crier, nor a very emotional person. But I was alone and this song just hit a level of which I could not return from.

I have yet to watch the new adaptation of Beaches, the Bette Midler version is one of my long time favourites and I'm very excited to see Idina Menzel shine in the role.

Monthly Motivation: Reflection (200th Post)

200th Post

I am one of the people who are really sentimental about the weird things, this post marks my 200th, in the post this morning I got a badge that congrats me on 5 years at work, theres a lot of emotions going on.

I think about when I started this blog, this may be my second or third blogging site that I tried out.  And the original post were mainly made up of things I had made on polyvore, very few of these post still exist on this blog, but I am sure there still up on polyvore.

Initially posts were few and far between, one of my most popular posts was a review of a Tyler Hilton Concert in June 2012, and re-reading it now it sort of cringy I was 17 at the time, but I still love to see it. I enjoy seeing how my writing style has changed and how I focus on different things.

Since 2014 I have certainly tried to spend more time on the blog and write more posts, and have stuck to certain things like #MusicMonday one of my most favourite things to write and monthly motivation as well as monthly favourites.

This blog really helps my creativity, it is a place to let go and is all mine. No one tells me what to do with it. And I really want to start doing more on it.

I have spent just over five years at my current retail job and realise that the blog posts start in 2011 and I started with my company in 2011. I had never thought about how closely each journey started. There is a huge comparasen  though my job is not mentally stimulating or challenging in the slight. And recently has been leaving me really unhappy.

So today has been a day of reflecting 200 posts and I hope to write many, many more. 5 years in a job and I hope for a change very, very soon.

XOXO
