Inspire Me Monday

This will only be a short post outlining the things I have found inspiring over the past few days. First off, as you may know if you saw this post, is John Goddard. He sat down and wrote a list age 15 of 127 goals to complete in his lifetime. And they aren't easy. Here are some of the amazing things he has set out to do:

• Climb Mt. Everest
• Visit every country in the world (with 30 left to go!)
• Learn to fly a plane
• Skin dive to 40 feet and hold breath for two and a half minutes underwater
• Own a horse, chimpanzee, cheetah, ocelot and coyote
• Learn French, Spanish and Arabic
• Read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica
• Light a match with .22 rifle
• Circumnavigate the globe (4 times already!)

I think making a Life List is a brilliant way of making goals, be it achievable ones or ones you have to work really hard to meet, and I can't wait until I make my own list. I highly encourage you to do the same, I'm sure the outcome will be very rewarding for all of you!

Be sure to let me know if you make a list!

Inspire Me Monday

Call me a geek if you want but I'm actually up at nearly midnight trying to finish a Chemistry essay for tomorrow. Called 'The Anomalous Properties of Water and Ice.' Sounds dead boring, doesn't it? :L But I've decided to have a break from non-stop Hydrogen bonds to tell you what has inspired me today.

As you may know, I'm 16 (soon to be 17!) and I still go to school (although now they call it College, but it's basically the same thing...) Anyway, we have to wear a uniform now and its the dreaded 'business wear.' Buut...some people have really put their own spin on the rules and have come up with some really great outfits. There's this one girl who wears the most amazing clothes every day and is short petite (sorry!) enough to wear really high heels with her outfits. And she recently dyed her hair a colour that I absolutely love so today, she is my inspiration. :) but I'm naming no names...

It's kind of like this colour (which is Casting Creme Gloss in Plum) but slightly darker

and this is the kind of jumpsuit she was wearing today. This one is from River Island and is £45.00

I hope you enjoyed my Inspire Me Monday

and I've noticed quite a few people from Russia have come across my blog so Привет to them :)

(I hope that's right! If it's not, blame Google translate!)

Inspire Me Monday: Blue, Blue, Electric Blue

Hi everyone!

I was browsing the internet this evening and came across the most recent post by Rachella (a.k.a. theonlyfashionprincess) It was about the colour 'electric blue' (hence the title of my post!) She has a very cool style and often mixes different fabrics together in one look to make some really creative posts and fashionable outifts. You can check it out here.
