Sometimes I have existentialist freak outs and start panicking about the meaning of life and what's going to happen afterward. And then I get really scared and sad. But I am the luckiest girl in the world to have him around for late night phone conversations to help me calm down and strengthen my faith. I don't know what I'd do without him.
Forgive yourself the nights you climb into bed full-face of makeup, too tired to take it off. Forgive yourself the days when one latte is not enough, when the two major food groups are coffee and sugar. Forgive yourself that one night when at two am you woke to use the bathroom and inhaled an entire chocolate bar instead.Forgive the ...
... that sun is sometimes the best medicine.... that missing the past is okay, planning for the future is good, but soaking in the present is best.... that hearing from a friend you haven't talked to in a while can lighten your heart faster than anything in the world. ... that mat kearney's song "wait" is still one of the ...
This baked ziti is a classic midweek meal, which is a lot like lasagna. The best (well there are many really) part about this meal? You can make it ahead, freeze it, and it’s still fab when you cook it- also, it’s impossible to screw this “recipe” up and you can add in all kinds of things if you want ...
What it feels to be in love...a look in to a day's affairs. You may wake-up happy as a single person...life would be simple...less complications...much less obligations and yes...you fart more! BUT, when your in love; oh boy does the tables turn or what! You wake-up smiling, almost singing a verse out of a 70's disco hit made popular by ...
I looked down at my hands today and I realized I don't have little kid hands anymore, my hands have signs of work in them, my veins are visible and my fingers are long like my mother's. I always loved her hands and remember looking at my little girl hands wishing they weren't so small, weren't so stumpy, I wanted ...
Sometimes you need to make sunshine a priority. Sometimes you need to set up something spontaneous just to soak up the daylight — and yes, the laundry (and the groceries, and the dishes, and all those phone calls) can wait until tomorrow.A good workout and/or patience can solve just about anything. It's important to take time for the people you ...
15.3.2011 - 15.3.2012It was that kind of love that walks down the street and makes people say, "AW". The love that sits in the corner and doesn't see anyone else in the room. The love that slow dances, the cinematic kind. I fit into him, like puzzle pieces. And today and every day, I'm am so very glad he's mine.
I have almost no words for these cookies. Almost. A few that actually do come to mind are miraculous, ingenious, life-changing. Could anything stuffed with Oreos and baked to a golden, gooey deliciousness NOT be life-changing? If your looking for a fun and decadent treat these would definitely fit the bill!

I like girls names you can shorten and make slightly boyish. I like the names that start with A. Strong names, but also pretty. Names that you could find in a novel, perhaps. Not too typical. That sound good as they roll out of the mouth.I imagine that if I had a daughter, I would try and keep her grounded. ...
I just wish....It's a crazy mean and angry world we live in these days. As Bon Jovi so poetically sang, "No one wants to be themselves these days"...this blog is not a cliche attempt to send out a hidden message to someone who I've been hurting with without consideration quite a bit since of late. God as my witness, none ...
Just recently, a friend kindly reached out to say how happy she is that I found Ashan. How clearly and brilliantly he's added to my life. I asked how I'm different—in what ways I've changed—expecting to hear that I'm more content or satisfied, that I'm calmer or just a bit less crazy.I thought of all the changes I've seen in ...
So I've decided to do a series documenting 100 things I love about Britain. I'm a born and bred Sri Lankan girl exchanging my flip flops to rain boots, family and boyfriend for economics and finance and temporarily living in the UK for 3.5 years. You guys want to do your own series like this then feel free, it would ...
With my 26th birthday rapidlyapproaching, I cannot help but reflect on the life lessons 25has brought me. Another year older, another year wiser, right? whileI am sad to say goodbye to 25, I am equally excited to see what my 26th year onthis earth has in store for me.Without further adieu, here are 25things I learned (about myself and beyond) ...
A couple weeks ago it dawned on me that I'm now closer to 30 than 20. I decided that it was a little crazy that I did not have a 30 before 30 list! I’m 25 years going on 26 in less than a week, so it seems about time to prep for my 30's. Either way, here goes:My 30 ...
The morningafter.. a term used rather loosely to denote a day to be dawned, an aftermathor even an impending result of various natures and kinds. In my life I have asimilar state of affairs, leading to the morning after. It's called the morningafter; the morning(s) after I speak to my Princess, my world...My NATASHA!One might go on to comment as ...
Now to make you all gag.The whole Valentines SCHTICK is never anyone’s "thing"when they're single. Those people who say, "yeah I don't really get intoValentines." and then babble on about the shameless propaganda ofHallmark, "you don't need a day to declare your love, that should beeveryday!" and crap are just bitter that they've never had an INCREDIBLE Valentine’sDay and I ...
Staying back in UK to finish my degree:it will be worth it.Not settling for a comfortable relationship and instead fighting for love:it will be worth it.Saving money instead of buying the adorable polka dot dress i've been coveting:it will be worth it.saying no to some things now, to wait for what i really, truly want:it will be worth it.this crazy, ...
The purpose...?In the famous words of Kanye West; "What's it all about?" ...why are we here? Why does the world turn? And why do boys fall in love? Bordering being called gay (with all due respect for the community in question...peace!) I hereby write that I am a boy (hardly at the ripe old age of 29, but that's another ...
