Already bummed about the new year? Fear not! Here are our top ten favourite quotes, and what they actually mean! Comment your favourites, and any quotes that you think should be on the list. 

10. 

"Thats the real trouble with the world. Too many people grow up!" ~ Walt disney.

What we take it to mean:

We have all wished at some point that we were older, either to feel more mature, sophisticated, or simply to be able to do more things. But what we forget is that being young is amazing! Imagination, creativity, fun and laughter are all things that we need to remember, well into adult life. Plus we would miss watching all the disney films!

9.

"It always seems impossible until it is done." ~ Nelson Mandela

What we take it to mean:

Sometimes it can feel like no matter how hard you try, you are nowhere near meeting your goal. Feeling disheartened, and probably lying in bed stuffing oneself with chocolate, what we tend to forget is just how far we have come! With determination, creativity and tons of Ben and Jerry's; We will get there. 

8. "Don't gain the world and lose your soul. Wisdom is better than silver or gold."

~ Bob Marley. 

What we take it to mean:

I have this quote stuck in on the first page of my diary, so that everytime I open it its the first thing I see. The reason I chose this quote was because it instantly struck me, the words are rhythmic and stick in your mind, and its such a wonderful attitude to have. It reminds me to be true to myself always. 

7. 

"To all the girls who think that you're fat because you're not size zero, You are the beautiful one, it is society that's ugly."

~ Marilyn Monroe

What we take it to mean: 

If you have visited this blog before, you know just how much we adore Marilyn Monroe. Her strength, beauty and bursting personality are nothing on her attitude towards the "size zero" industry. Marilyn shows that being curvy is sexy and beautiful. Its a wonderful reminded that all body types should be celebrated, and all are beautiful. <3 

6.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain." 

~ Vivian Greene

What we take it to mean: 

Every Time we read this quote it makes us smile, no matter how upset we feel. It reminds us that life isn't about waiting for bad things to pass you by, but to embrace them and learn from them, and it reminds us of the musical "Singing in the rain", which is equally fab. 

5.

"20 years from now,you will be more disappointed 

by the  things you didn't do more than the things you did do!"

~ Michael Palin 

What we take it to mean: 

Remember that awful outfit you thought was a good idea? That haircut that took ages to grow back? In 20 years time, they certainly won't bother you! So take chances, and be proud of what you have learned from your past mistakes! Seize all the opportunities! 

4.

"Stars can't shine without darkness"

~anon.

What we take it to mean: 

We have all been through bad situations, but we have made it through. Undoubtedly there will be more to be thrown our way, but we have learned and grown from them. We wouldn't be who we are without them. 

3.

"The best moments are the ones that aren't planned"

~ anon. 

What we take it to mean: 

Hours at parties have taught us something! The best parties are usually the ones that are not planned to be bitter end, and you end up doing things that you never expected, but having a hell of a time doing them! Sometimes planning can take fun out of the agenda, spontaneousness is always fun! 

2.

"Live life at the end of your comfort zone"

~ anon.  

What we take it to mean: 

This one doesn't need that much explaining. Be brave, aim to do one thing that scares and pushes you everyday! (obviously be aware of safety of yourself and others, and stay within the law) Usually the things that frighten us are simple and just require a little push, like talking to the boss about one of your ideas or trying out a new hairstyle thats not your usual taste!

Buttercup... Creating a room !! xx

Hey everyone, To show you how easy it is to put together an amazing room , without over spending i am going to create a room right now for you all to see, using as many of the top tips i have given you in other articles :) ... Today i will be creating a Living Room.

Lets put this together detail by detail...
Colour Theme: Light Blue
Wallpaper for feature wall : http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=553896 
 Here is the wallpaper i selected for the feature wall a subtle blue leaf pattern! £12.99 (Dimensions in m: (W)5.2, (L)10.05)
Following on from that theme we need to pick out either the white or the blue to paint all the other walls with! I am going to pick blue to add more colour into the room.
Paint: Blue Lagoon £1.69 (per 50ml)

 The shape of the room helps make important decisions including the layout which decides what furniture we use. For this example lets picture a rectangular room.

Along the bottom we will have a corner sofa towards the left hand side!  Like this one:
 Notice we are still sticking to the colour theme! This sofa is the main feature of furniture in your room so its okay to splash out a little at £899.00 but you don't have to spend that much aslong as you are willing to shop around!

In the bottom right hand corner we shall have an arm chair, Notice that we are keeping all the furniture very neutral and we will leave the details and finishing touch to the accessories. This way if you chose to change the theme you can keep the furniture and change the accessories to suite it this will save money next time!

 Unfortunately i am unable to state a price for this piece, but these chairs don't need to cost lots... you don't need to buy it brand new you could simply buy the chair and replace the cover of it to the colour you want again saving money !

Now lets imagine the on the top long wall in the center is a lovely fireplace ...
 
Here is an example of what the fire place may look like:

 Obviously minus all the details in this picture however these kind of details are a good example of what you could do!

At the left end side lets imagine there are french doors that lead on to an open plan kitchen and dining room!
For Example:


the other wall shall have a window and curtains ...
For example:
You could situate a small table there to put a decoration on later for example:
as part of the details you may put a flower display or lamp on their if you want!

In the center of the room towards the corner sofa their shall be a coffee table and to the right side of the fire place a television table!

Example T.V stand: 


Example Coffee table:



this leaves us to details cushions  Lamps, Maybe even some photo frame displays (remembering the levels,sizes and colour variations that was spoken about in another article of mine :) ) 
Details is when you can really have fun here are some that i have selected: 


Hope you enjoyed creating this room with me .... if you did please comment a colour scheme below for me to create next time... Buttercup :) xxx
