Ain't Nobody





At the moment I love the Felix Jaehn remix of Rufus and Chaka Khan’s ‘Ain’t Nobody’.

I loved the original and I love the BEAT of this new version.

No. 48 - Inspirational Quote



 
One of the things to do as part of my ‘101 Things in 1001’ was to:

Find a personally inspirational quote and work it into a piece of art or home décor

Last night, when I was watching the movie ‘Bite Size’ I found a quote that I love.

Be strong and courageous

Honestly, I do not know why this quote spoke to me but it did. It is a simple quote and the sentiment is rich and full of promise.

Now I just need to find a way to work it into a piece of art or home décor.


Do you have a special quote that is included in a piece of art and/or home décor that you love?

Phones and Tablets



 
So I am really bemused about people’s use of phones and tablets while they are out with other people. 

I really think that if you have made the time to catch up with someone then you could at least do them the courtesy of spending time with them rather than checking your phone the entire time.

A few months ago I was having dinner with a friend and the couple at the table next to us both had their MASSIVE (and they were massive) phones out and up in front of their faces. I can only imagine that they were taking photos of one other and sending them to the other person via Snap Chat. *eye roll* Oh wait…maybe they were using Tinder to find someone better?

I mean why even go out if you are not even going to communicate face-to-face (without a device in the way) to the person you are with?

Mark and I have a rule when we go out that my phone goes in my bag and this rule has been in place after I joined Twitter. He politely (not politely) told me the other night while I was ranting to him about people using their phones while out with friends that I used to do it. Oops! I also always try and make sure that I put my phone away when I am out with friends and I normally do not check it until I get home or on the way to the car.

I get that sometimes you do need to check your phone (if you have kids at home or are waiting for an important text) and that is totally fine. It is just the constant use of them when you should put it away and actually catch up with your friend or partner.

To make my day, yesterday a girl was so busy texting that she smacked straight into the glass door where I was having my morning coffee. Suffice to say, I bloody laughed because if you cannot even look up from your phone to check if the door is open or closed then you deserve everything you get. 

**Disclaimer** This probably annoys me a lot because I did used to do it!
