5 :1 Locking the Windows & Doors - Security Light ON [Some Scary Happenings in Hanna's World]

Helo bawb,

- So it's been a while, a little too long if you ask me!

- How's everyone doing? good?

- This past month has been absoluteley crazy, so much has been going on! (and if you've ever tried to install functioning internet into a house where the nearest power supply to your phone line is up two flights of stairs - you'll feel my pain, it involved lifting up a carpet and a ridiculously LONG phone line!)

- I've moved back abroad, away from the wonder that is England! (God bless)

- I just wanted to talk about something quite serious actually, currently in my city (TINY city, but still) we have an insanely low crime rate, everybody knows everybody else and in general I have always felt quite safe here, but just recently we have had a spate of kidnappings ( I KNOW - what. the. heck?!)

- It's the sort of thing you would just knock to the back of your mind and think would never happen to you. Until it happens to your next door neighbour, then two of your best friends nearly get pulled into a car on their way home, - a BIT of police presence would be nice!

- It's actually really quite scary, because until recently I would have been more than happy to walk through the city on my own at 2am (and have done) It's not a nice feeling to feel unsafe in your own home.

- my heart is with you all, stay safe.

"You're my full stop"

I know it's ridiculously early in the morning. I'm moving house today.

but.

I'm also getting engaged today.

I'm sorry Han, I didn't quite hear that, can you repeat it?

Oh yes, of course

My boyfriend just told me I was his 'full stop' and however scary it was he wanted to be with me forever.

He just proposed!!

I wanted to share, with my little blogging family. I'm genuinely over the moon. I love him so much.

I hate soppy posts about love lives, so this is a one off, but I'm getting engaged!


p.s. This weeks 'songs on sunday' was a good one. so I may post later in the week. . . 'melodies on monday' . . . 'tunes on tuesday' . . . teehee!

4 :2 Some Witchery ( Spell Designs)

- To say I struggle with my personal style is a little bit of an understatement.

- My mother refuses to buy me clothes for birthdays etc because she says I am so hard to understand. This is true, I am.

- I LOVE vintage dresses, I LOVE anything covered in sequins, I LOVE structured blazers, boyfriend fit t-shirts, the colour 'peach' and 'oatmeal' but also anything navy or dove grey. . I LOVE leather boots, I LOVE moccasins, and I love to be covered in as much jangly (is that even a word?!) jewellery as possible. . . .On second thought, I'm pretty easy to understand! I LOVE to be a walking Bazaar.

- My recent love is the company Spell, run by two sisters, I want need everything in their shop. If I had money I would be dangerous.

- My sister is undoubtedly one of my favourite people in the entire world, and I would love to run a company like this with her when she's older and has finished school. (my company would feature more glitter though!) I think this is why I love their story so much! - Working with my sister would be a dream come true.

- Their collections are so inspiring, and I'm in need of creating something similiar for myself and my house (my beautiful NEW house, which  I am moving in to in less than two weeks!!! Goodbye England! - I digress!).

The August Break 2011: #11 (And Han's Relationship Issues!)

- This is literally all I wanted all day.

- I know, as far as picture quality goes, it's pretty shocking, but it represented my day really well.

(August Break 2011 : #11)

- It's amazing how much of a bad day you are having and just the supportive hand of someone close to you, reassuring you that everything is going to be ok, will make you feel a billion times happier.

- Righto : I've had two emails in the last week, asking me if I have a boyfriend. (yes) . . but here's why it may have slipped past you!

- I don't like blogs where people ram their relationship down your throat. I mean, I'm glad you have a boyfriend and all. . don't get me wrong, but your significant other is not what makes you, you.

- I feel this way in life too. One of my friends got VERY angry with me because she felt that I wasn't spending enough time with her. Where I had gone from living with her and seeing her a good twelve hours a day, to seeing her three or four evenings a week (She has since found a girlfriend and I haven't seen her in near enough five months) I think it's about finding a balance (old married couples - you're off the hook!)

(TEA after a shopping spree?!)

(he really hates me taking pictures, so I went all stealth mode! don't know how he managed to miss my camera. . it's big enough! but shhhh)

- When I was single (and hurting- because in the end I started to enjoy singledom) in the blogs I found, if they were all soppy and "BBZ I luv yhoo/ I love my babba, he is the best thing I ever found" I immediately left the blog. I couldn't stand it. I don't mind the odd mention here and there, but I really hate the constant reminder that your life is not as good.

- Trust me I could go on about how amazing the boy is (he works with disabled people doing music workshops, and with children, and is just one of the most caring people ever) and I have written about him before, but I will always refer to him as my friend, because he is first and foremost my friend.

(Swear down, he's a woman, owns more shoes than I do!)

- I just come across way to many blogs, who seem to just flaunt their boyfriends because it makes them sound 'cool'- I'm not one for judging others' relationships, but to me, a relationship is an intimate thing, it's a meaningful thing, not a status badge or a facebook update.

- Either way, yes I have a boyfriend, yes I love him, and yes he is one of the most amazing men I know (my Dad, Brother &Grandad being the others).

1, We've Moved!!

Not only has this blog moved, but we've moved house too! Two in one!

In the past, this blog had become a place for me to wallow, to get things off my chest and to reveal exactly how much I was hurting, but I've been working on myself, and I am determined to maintain my current positive frame of mind.

One of the best bits of advice I recieved recently was 'How to be happy ; Look at the pretty things, and ignore everything else" This ONE SINGLE piece of advice has helped me beyond belief, I've taken to finding things which inspire me, things which make me happy, and things which make me realise that life is definitely worth living, I just need to stick it out!

"Just because today is a terrible day doesn’t mean tomorrow won’t be the best day of your life, you just have to be there."

Join me on my quest to stay happy! To continue loving myself, and to achieve everything I want!
