Personality

Sometimes I feel like this blog is a little impersonal. As a reader, do you avoid, or are you interested in personal posts? I don't even know if I'd be able to do them well, or if I'd have anything to talk about - but what would you think if I posted a little more personality?

Cleaner Science

I'm such a fan of sweet sciencey goodness and these cute soaps from cleaner science certainly fit the bill.They come in all different scents - coconut, chocolate, mango sorbet, raspberry lemonade and more. Um, YUM. And there's even glow in the dark ones!
So. Awesome.

I really just want an old mustard cardigan.

One. Two. Three. Four.

It's study time. Again.

For you,

Just sayin guys. Thanks for sticking with me :)

Do want.

If each of you lovely followers put in only $82.45, you could buy me this beautiful 18 K gold and diamond anatomically correct heart pendant for Christmas. That's only $1.42 a day!

No? How frugal are you?

I suppose if you really don't want to spend that much, maybe you could encourage your friends to follow and we can all share the costs around. Doesn't that sound good? Right? Right.

This has got to be the most awesome thing I've ever seen.

Narcissus

The Alchemist picked up a book that someone in the caravan had brought. Leafing through the pages, he found a story about Narcissus. The alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus, a youth who daily knelt beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty. He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus.

But this was not how the author of the book ended the story.

He said that when Narcissus died, the Goddesses of the Forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.

"Why do you weep?" the Goddesses asked.

"I weep for Narcissus," the lake replied.

"Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus," they said, "for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand."

"But..... was Narcissus beautiful?" the lake asked.

"Who better than you to know that?" the Goddesses said

in wonder, "After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each

day to contemplate himself!!"

The lake was silent for some time.

Finally it said:

"I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus

was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my

banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty

reflected."

"What a lovely story," the alchemist thought.

Halloween

I've been helping my friend Tom organise his Halloween party and he dropped over the invitations today. They look so good, don't you think? We came up with the idea and he made them himself.

Halloween's not widely celebrated in Australia, so this will be the first Halloween party that I've been to. I'm a little excited :)

Paper Pencil

I made a little pencil case for myself, just like these ones Made By Anna.

Nadinoo

I'm quite fond of this label, Nadinoo, which I found via Daydream Lily.
So lovely.

Really?

Twilight themed classics. Was that really necessary?
