1. My cats
When I used to live at home, I never really let my cats in my room, but recently every time I go home I let them both curl up on the bed with me at night time. I absolutely love falling asleep to their purrs and waking up next to them for morning snuggles.
Over the past few weeks I have been trying hard to change my mind set with respect to health, trying to teach myself that what is going on on the inside is just as important as what your body looks like on the outside. I definitely would not say I am 'happy' when I am in the gym, and the journey is a lot harder than I thought it would be. But I'm trying... we all start somewhere.
3. Reading Harry Potter (again)
I associate the Harry Potter series with many different moments of my childhood. In particular, when I was reading the last book in the series for the first time, shortly after its release, something incredibly personal was going on simultaneously in my life, and for some reason I have always credited these books for helping me get through that (sad, I know). Therefore, rereading them, like I do on many occasions, makes me appreciate life and I love nothing more than removing myself from reality and escaping into this world.
I decided to dye my hair pink again... I quite often make these impulse appearance changes when I'm feeling stressed, however I think my parents definitely appreciate the temporary nature of this as opposed to the time I impulsively got my nose pierced.
5. Music
At the moment I am particularly loving James Blake, Tom Odell and Aiden Grimshaw. None of which are particularly new albums, they are just fantastically written.
This is such a lovely post, Amy. I know how wonderful it feels to have a pet snuggle up with you. I have two dogs and I would love it if they would stay curled up on my bed. Everything you've listed is what gets me through the day too; pets, health, reading, hair changes (I need my highlights done BADLY or dyed completely) and music.

DeleteOh, I definitely second the heath bit and the re-reading of Harry Potter. I'm trying to do that myself before going to that new-ish Harry Potter world slightly outside of London. Also I never thought I'd enjoy healthy food and working out so much, but I guess it's true what they say- it's really addicting!
ReplyDeleteOh I've wanted to visit there for so long! xx
DeleteOh Amy I love the things you've put in this post! Your cat is cute beyond words, trainers are my best friend :), I love to run, and I support you to be pink again hehe! I wanted to do it also for some time now...we'll see :). great post! much love xx

aw thank you! xx
DeleteI started re-reading Harry Potter also! Brining back so many memories and I'm finding so many things I've overlooked (can I even still call myself a Harry Potter fan??). Nothing better than cuddling up with Harry Potter and your kitties!!
ReplyDeletetrendydonut.blogspot.com
haha I completely agree that would literally be my perfect situation xx
DeleteI truly can never re-read Harry Potter enough! Such a good series. JK Rowling is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are so brave to do the pink hair! I've always wanted to try it but with blonde hair I'm always nervous about doing too much damage. Your hair looks so good though! Do you have a secret to keeping it healthy?
xo - Kaitlin from Tea with Jam and Bread
haha every time i finish it i just want to start from the beginning all over again! ooh you should do! it doesnt last very long... I try to wash it as little as often, which probably sounds weird but in the long run it does make your hair much healthier! xx
DeleteLovely post! James Blake is also one of my favourites :)
ReplyDeleteA healthy work out is someting I also try to do more often now but it is really hard since I also go to university and currently I am preparing for my exams.
