In the Pink

I thought I'll get us started this week with some pink inspiration, and my mood board for the day is everything and anything to do with pink bedrooms. Pink is a very refreshing, mood uplifting color. It can be used in so many different ways and color combinations, it can be used with basic black, nice little greens, whites, a little bit of blues, some yellows, can be used as accents, be a main color and just blend in with everything. I think it's one of those colors that can be bent to suit your will and taste and that you can just make work where you need it to work. The possibilities are just endless I think.

 

Rhythmically Challenged

You know sometimes when you look back at yourself you sometimes just have to laugh - you know at yourself. This is one of those times. I work for a charity organisation and sometimes we have to do the bonding thing, and we get to spend some time with a project. The kids in the yellow t-shirts are from underprivileged areas and they get the chance to learn all about art, drama and dance. This day the kids tried to teach us the Diski Dance. Note, due to me being rhythmically challenged I'm way, way at the back, totally undercover, won't see me at all, like Donald Duck, ducking all the way. Albeit ducking all the way, I'm still working on getting out of that comfort zone of being rhythmically challenged. Thought it might inspire you to do something as well, get a bit out of that comfort zone and explore, even though you are rhythmically challenged like me.

Little Boheme

We all have that something bohemian in us. That part  in our normal everyday lives where in the normal we actually would like to be extra ordinary.

This weekend one of the kids working on a film shoot told me that they have a group of friends who usually take photographs of each other in their pj's in the craziest of places, going to the movie, climbing Table Mountain and through this craziness inspire each other to be more. Me - asking the question why? the answer was One Life in all ways. God before everything. You need to live your life with honesty, integrity, joy, creativity, and be in the moment.

This got me inspired and thinking to live my life a bit more extra ordinary every day. Albeit having that normal everyday life, live a little bit more bohemian and make the normal a bit abnormal in a good way. Trying new creative things and just to share the small little joyous moments in every day.

Sharing a bit of my creative inspiration is my little girl in bloom, we are saying, fare thee well,  to our summer and were moving into autumn. This brings all new colors and experiences to light and I can't wait to share them with you as well.
