Good Things

{Whales in the bay, Kalk Bay}

The days just seem to be melting into each other lately - just as quickly as the week's begun, it's all over and time to prepare for a new Monday. I find that it's all too easy to get into a flat spin when deadlines are looming and the general pace of life speeds up, so I've decided to make a concerted effort to take it easy and spend some time reflecting on all life's little pleasures - like whales frolicking in the bay, a really enjoyable beer and decadent, melt-in-your-mouth macarons.

Piles of glossy magazines, good music (I'm listening to a sneak preview of Tom Waits' new album, Bad as Me, as I type), a bold fuchsia lipstick and a gorgeous scent all help to brighten my day, too.
