oh happy day.

After many vulgar posts/comments regarding Zoe Smith's appearance on social networking sites, she fired back with this empowering message.   

"...We don’t lift weights in order to look hot, especially for the likes of men like that. What makes them think that we even WANT them to find us attractive? If you do, thanks very much, we’re flattered. But if you don’t, why do you really need to voice this opinion in the first place, and what makes you think we actually give a toss that you, personally, do not find us attractive? What do you want us to do? Shall we stop weightlifting, amend our diet in order to completely get rid of our ‘manly’ muscles, and become housewives in the sheer hope that one day you will look more favourably upon us and we might actually have a shot with you?! Cause you are clearly the kindest, most attractive type of man to grace the earth with your presence.

"Oh but wait, you aren’t. This may be shocking to you, but we actually would rather be attractive to people who aren’t closed-minded and ignorant. Crazy, eh?! We, as any women with an ounce of self-confidence would, prefer our men to be confident enough in themselves to not feel emasculated by the fact that we aren’t weak and feeble."  - Zoe Smith, English Weighlifter



Way to go, Zoe!  Brilliant smack down.  And on that note, Happy Friday!!!

House shopping has made me obsessed with decorating.  Here are some current inspirations for our future home.

backyard inspirations.

Our backyard is basically a pool.  There’s not much space for anything else, but I’m determined to maximum the space we do have.  I’m excited to add some bright large pots, a pallet garden, creative lighting and additional seating.

I recently transformed an old backyard side table with a fresh coat of paint, as seen here and currently in the process of finishing my second table. 

I’m ready for some DIY projects.

Yep, I’m changing my hair again.  Shocking, eh?! 
Can’t wait for it to be chopped off next week.
