An Old Soul

I've always felt as though I was born in the wrong era. I should have been dancing the Charleston in little heels and a knee length dress, with my hair curled, red lipstick and talking to people rather than looking at my phone screen. I've always preferred old musicals and jazz rather than the top hits. Black and white movies instead of reality TV. The sound of records really are better than CDs. Being outside appeals to me so much more than sitting on the couch. Reading a book is what I prefer to watching YouTube or being on the computer.

I believe in charm, modesty, class, and manners. A lot of which have sadly and drastically diminished throughout the generations. I could go into a rant about how technology and media has ruined everything. But I want this blog to be a happy and positive place :) 

And there is no time that I feel happier than doing one of the afore mentioned activities. To relax before bed tonight, I decided to play my delightful My Fair Lady record :) .. it's one of my favourite musicals. And a record provides such a beautiful and warm sound that has been lost in CDs and downloads. 

I listened to one of my most favourite songs, 'on the street where you live'. It's such a beautifully sweet song. One can't help but smile when listening to it. I hope to find a love like this one day :) 

I recorded (pun intended) a snippet for you to enjoy, it's been uploaded to my Instagram @tamikalouiseb (http://instagram.com/tamikalouiseb) ... I hope you find the time to sit and enjoy such a lovely sound! People just don't have voices like this anymore!! Enjoy :)

Appreciate the Simple Things

I am someone who appreciates the simple things. I think the little things can hold a greater significance in one's heart and mind than the extravagant things.

A cute dress. A good book. Some sunshine and comfy sneakers - this was a moment of complete happiness I had to capture.

Spring is Finally Upon Us!

Being an individual who is solar powered, I am overjoyed that Spring is finally here!!! Don't get me wrong, I like winter to snuggle in front of the fire with a book or a movie on, and a cup of tea. But eventually, that adorable moment loses its charm and I get bored. I love the outdoors. I thrive on nature and being outside! So, now that Spring is here, I can finally soak up the warmth and enjoy the beauty that surrounds me to its full extent.
It's only been a week, and already I have noticed a change in my demeanor. I am instantly happier when it's warm and sunny. Warmth and sun give me so much energy! I can think of little else I would rather do than go for a walk on a beautiful day, listen to music, or read outside.
It is also the time for berries!! :D Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries! I love them all! And finally, they will come down in price!! This excites me greatly.

I have also attached some lovely photos of the simple beauty I see everyday in this Spring weather :)
