Who doesn't love a pinch of pink in their life? Whether it's muted tones of coral, salmon magenta, mauve or rose I will always adore this feminine colour. Trawling through my Pinterest feed I was filled with these dreamy images which it immediately lifted my mood and I hope it lifts yours. I'm looking forward to finishing off this week, between now and next weekend I would have to submit two assignments and one university history exam. However, my sister and I have tickets to see Boy and Bear on Friday night and I'm attending a 21st birthday so I shall be rewarded for my hard work. Looking forward to developing this blogging space in the upcoming weeks some exciting projects are in the works! Have a lovely weekend, 

Health & Fitness | Challenge

via Here Comes the Sun

During November I would like to set myself a running goal to run 40km, which is going to be quite a challenge with my academic and work commitments. I am currently completing one/two 5km runs a week with times ranging from 40-47minutes and my goal is to reduce this to an average run time of 35 minutes. I will use my time management skills to make sure this program will be a priority, also tracking my runs via the Nike+ Running app. I'm excited to have a goal and am excited to complete the challenge, wish me luck!

Film | Mud

My goodness, October has been such a busy month for me! My acedemic persuits have me bouncing from two campus' and studying around twenty hours a week whilst juggling a casaul job. Sometimes I need to pause and have a time-out, watching movies offers that respite. I recently watched Mud (2012) directed by Jeff Nichols it follows Ellis, just your average forteen year old boy living in Mississippi and the proceeding events after the discovery of a mysterous man on his island playground.

I love stories that follow that young adult 'coming-of-age' plot formula, however this film subverts some traditional ascepts whilst presenting a film that you just can't help to love. The cinematography in this film is outstanding and captures every imaginable detail of the town Arkansas needed to place yourself in the scene. There are some really fragile moments in this film and although I feel uncomfrotable with the portrayal of women I feel like the redemption of the film is in the fabulous acting and beautiful shots. If you're a fan of films like 'Stand By Me', even Huckleberry Finn or mystery dramas, please go see it.
