12 Things To Do More Often

You probably already know the things that make up a good, healthy, happiness-filled life. (And you’re pretty sure it’s not Cheetos, checking email in bed, or gossiping.)

Jayd Dell - Living with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA)

I recently stumbled across this beautiful girl on a blog post that her best friend, Raechel did on her, entitled My Best Friend Is Dying. It was such a moving story, not only because of how beautiful their friendship is but also beacuse how inspiring I found Jayd to be. There are so many people with terminal illnesses but not everyone has the attitude that Jayd has. I sent her an email to chat to her more about her disease and I asked her a few questions. 

Bloggers Who Bless

Last weekend I was privileged enough to be invited to the 'Bloggers Who Bless' meeting. 

Basically it's a group of bloggers who get together to motivate and inspire one another!

We met at Park Cafe and had an absolutely gorgeous high tea. Sasha had organised it all so wonderfully, with the most amazing little goodie bags for each of us.

It was so great to finally meet some of the faces I have been following for so long on twitter! It was such a lovely group of young ladies! 

Sasha / @Face Value_ZA / Porcelain Rouge

Thea / @Madness_Nails / Madness Nails 

Shan / @youbabyandi / You Baby and I (MY BUDDY)

Chicara / @lipgloss_kisses / Lipgloss Kisses

Leanne / @arumlilea / Arum Lilea

Tash / @tandserendipity / tandserendipity

Irina / @irinadoman / I'll Take It All

Loren / @MinkysBlog / Hello Minky's

 Luzanne / @PinkPeonies / Pink Peonies (ABSENT)

Heather / @heatherdeBruin / Bloggers Who Bless (FOUNDER)

We were each given a 'Buddy' for the month and have to send encouraging msgs to each other as well as advise and support one another. Such a lovely idea and my buddy, Shan, is just great!! We were also asked to choose a few ladies to write a little note of encouragement to and at the end of our meeting we swapped notes. 

We were all very spoilt with all the things we received in our goodie bags, I'd like to thank all of the sponsors for treating us to such wonderful products. 

Dermalogica


Rain


Original cocktails


Ralo Cosmetics

I'm so grateful to be a part of something so special, we aren't just faceless bloggers to each other anymore, we're friends! I can't wait to see all my blogging sisters, "Blisters"? again at the next meeting! 

You're all amazing!

Love, always,

Fawn
