Tea and movies

Leaf tea has been going down a treat at home, my dad really likes the Mango, mum really likes the Strawberry champagne and I really like all of them - particularly in little cups from a teapot. 

The Hobbit is showing as of now and I cannot wait to see it! There are rarely movies i really want to see at the movies now but this is one of them, i watched the making of blog video which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfX1PYv1FEY

It's so exciting! It will be interesting to see the difference in film quality from the way of filming they talked about using. I'm also so glad that they filmed it here in New Zealand... It wouldn't have been the same with that other director, probably would have made me feel a bit sick and sad with what it could have been. Very little movies make me excited.... this/these three are one of them as it's going to be SOOO GOOOD...

We've been having movie nights.... I'm sure i had strange dreams last night

Making tea....

I've made two tumblr blogs too, one as a photo diary and another for all the lovely things I find

IMAGINE

I wish to dye the very tips of my hair red, though i may let it seep up a little in the well know dip-dye styling. My hair is full of the summer sun, tips lighting and strands strangely pale against the rest. I wish for my autumn coloured hair to feel the heat of the red on its ends, my vague Scottish heritage which shines through the brown in the sunlight to always be there. I'm going to dye it red by the end of summer. That will be fun.
I wish to roll down grassy hills or stairs faster and faster but not get hurt at the bottom
I wish to start a garden of tulips in the soil around my house that will not welcome them and the wind of wellington which will destroy them before the even bloom, but i want to try anyway in a nook of the house and see if they can bloom.
I wish to run into the sea in my clothes, having spent the night drinking wine inside by the heat of a fire with friends and to feel the sudden madness of the sea outside the tipsy swirl of my head.
I wish to lie in the sun on the grass or the sand and for my skin to glow a caramel gold instead of marsh-mellow pink. I am already tan this year from Melbourne, this hardly ever happens and is exciting.
I wish to eat ice-cream with other things mixed in like brownie, Ferraro rocher, nerds, skittles, pebbles... the possibilities are endlessly delicious
I wish to go to a concert..... I've never been to one before, even at 18 most people I know have been to one and said it was amazing.

I'm feeling the travel itch again - and its only been 2 days at home. Everyone is caught up in their own thing at the moment whether it be working, travelling, partying hard and i have been looking at the most wonderful photos of those on their travels.

Here we have Nicole Warne, author of the Gary Pepper vintage blog.
Nicole travels to all the places i'd like to go; Italy, Paris, Ice-land.... While wearing beautiful clothes.
She travels, has a lovely sense of style, and is an ultimately beautiful and inspiring blogger:

Mondays + happiness = hardly a Monday at all

Happiness on Mondays

My favourite tea, but i have no way to find more. Mum even looked at trying to ship a box here from England which is where i picked it up in the first place. It's called bright mood, and it does just that with cinnamon, hops and orange peel. It's tag even comes with a little saying for your day, often confusing

Other ways to cheer myself up on a Monday are to spin around on a chair, actually do a little bit of study which makes any movie watching feel more deserved and myself less stressed for future exams. Have a long hot shower, wear thick woolen socks, drink gingerbread hot chocolate, go outside and just walk (between trees is best).
