A little life tip to store away until you need it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So far the postcards have been a hit and I shall keep a couple back myself to save as mementos.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think? New age postcards or old school notelets and enevelopes? I have a tonne of crafts planned for her birthday so do keep your eyes peeled for those soon!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif;

Motivational Monday #6

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Firstly, oh hello 700th post on this blog. 700!! Go me!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Secondly, here we are on another merry Monday with another dose of motivation. Are you enjoying these posts? They are fast becoming my favourite to write. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmsnyOMzJFP-_SFIEqKUvt2itGKH6edrDrlrdpSeOFgcaNuKsla9IDaucyGFTkBEJQ_OTQzhuC3ITaWtwlJteupEtKZQxRHNpm_bX4upvv24bG6Q3QNz90-0skHrSZIfVGsaX_mlpliZM/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-03-07+at+13.40.37.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Motivational Monday | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmsnyOMzJFP-_SFIEqKUvt2itGKH6edrDrlrdpSeOFgcaNuKsla9IDaucyGFTkBEJQ_OTQzhuC3ITaWtwlJteupEtKZQxRHNpm_bX4upvv24bG6Q3QNz90-0skHrSZIfVGsaX_mlpliZM/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-03-07+at+13.40.37.png" title="Motivational Monday | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="500" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I chose this quote today (again, from <a href="http://pinterest.com/louiseglitter/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>) because I thought it was pretty apt for my 700th post and is something I agree whole heartedly.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When you think of success, what do you think of? Do you think of happiness, wealth, certain goals? How do you plan on getting to them? The majority of the time, the answer is going to lie in the field of 'hard work'.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The person I consider to be most successful in my life is my Dad. He was raised in a modest family with normal things. He went to a normal school and worked very hard. He trained as an accountant and decided that it wasn't for him, worked in sales and then decided to take the plunge and set up his own business. Twenty to thirty years on, he has been tres successful and as well as having the world's greatest Daughter (mwahaha) he also has all the lovely things he has worked for. There are times when I look at his lovely house or fabulous holidays with a tinge of envy and think, 'Why can't I have those things?'. And this answer is, "I can". The bit in between those two things though is called hard work.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Dad didn't just wake up with a lovely home or fall into lovely experiences, he poured his time, his energies and his thoughts into his work. He didn't sit about watching TV wondering when success would come knocking, he physically made it happen. He didn't take an elevator, he sweated his way up the stairs and now he's up the top and can be proud of himself.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel a little bit like that for this blog. No, it isn't World Number One Blog of The Year, but to me, it's a success. It's what I want it to be. To make it what I want it to be, I've worked really bloomin' hard. I have spent hundred of hours on it, I think about it daily, I research ways to improve it and above all, I pour love and energy into it gladly. I don't resent the work, I relish in it because I know how amazing it feels to achieve the little goals you set yourself. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have something you want to do, do it. Enjoy knowing that you can and will achieve your goals if you work for them and enjoy the journey to getting there. When you look at it in the right way, it's immensely satisfying. There is nothing you cannot do if you work hard enough for it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If there is something you want to achieve this week, start today and take the first step of your stairs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Previously...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-1.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #1</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-2.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #2</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-3.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #3 </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-4.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #4 </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/motivational-monday-5.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #5  </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div></div><div style="color: #666666;

Statement Necklaces

For a good couple of years now I have shied away from necklaces.

She is far, far too good. It was a little snug when I tried it on so it's a huge motivation to loose half a stone so I can look b-e-a-utiful in it. I think if I'd have bought it myself I wouldn't have felt so obliged but since someone else spent their pennies on me, it's a lot easier to choose soup over pizza! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhyuAiKTKYIZNDfhJi98YROztPykEZaMDVsNO4edNEseSu2gi67SR3i4WGgUjfDKC-VdMohdT2lNEdGMMay7z1cQ0AMjyCHpZuJcZqmnk-NTLpXAhtLNGwSz2WzIxxrfGIxOQbC_mDqEs/s1600/Dress1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ted Baker Floral Dress | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="470" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhyuAiKTKYIZNDfhJi98YROztPykEZaMDVsNO4edNEseSu2gi67SR3i4WGgUjfDKC-VdMohdT2lNEdGMMay7z1cQ0AMjyCHpZuJcZqmnk-NTLpXAhtLNGwSz2WzIxxrfGIxOQbC_mDqEs/s640/Dress1.jpg" title="Ted Baker Floral Dress | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My aim is to wear this dress for our meet-up at PlayList Live in Florida, which is about 2 weeks away, so hopefully I will have a successful OOTD for you by then. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHLJEuTM4YrSbdPYl3N0GPLbJ-btF_clDZj14-BXZFVC2iHitMj8jFP-U65QBpcFDSUNTVYf_T6ASc-xwwV6-qT9oiAs0SvQkDO0D8fF7CqkUC8kBdzVKrqo__C31frBECuZk3pTLEI-am/s1600/Dress4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ted Baker Floral Dress | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHLJEuTM4YrSbdPYl3N0GPLbJ-btF_clDZj14-BXZFVC2iHitMj8jFP-U65QBpcFDSUNTVYf_T6ASc-xwwV6-qT9oiAs0SvQkDO0D8fF7CqkUC8kBdzVKrqo__C31frBECuZk3pTLEI-am/s640/Dress4.jpg" title="Ted Baker Floral Dress | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Until then, I hope you enjoyed the sneak peaks.

The Best Of February

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, I meant to write this post for Friday, but will with all the upset of loosing my little Mindycat, I took a day away from my laptop. I'm sure you won't mind.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">February was a proud blog month for me. I challenged myself to upload a post every single weekday and I succeeded. I wasn't exactly a breeze but I really enjoyed getting stuck in and am pleased with the content I produced. Look at me being all self praising! Haha. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm reluctant to challenge myself to do this throughout March as I know I have a LOT on in the next 4 weeks but I'm going to give it a while. In for a penny, in for a pound as they say...whatever that actually means!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So, before it's too late, let's reflect on the great month that we just had and tomorrow we'll be looking forward to the next one. Smooooth.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Urban Decay Spring Collection 2013 Naked Flushed" border="0" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzv4tcJ1U9Tisnof8E1OAMZeqEhsn4QKLFr2V1GBjUkAXs9MQcsw_6IiarAi4m5G0e2KNFokd0ZEdO9pmllXevkQHwsmGwwxZw-A42aBkaW3pAdPvlwam5UmdWLUMIu1Sh7igPek7w6rs/s640/ud4.jpg" title="Urban Decay Spring Collection 2013 Naked Flushed" width="640" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We kicked off February with <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/urban-decay-spring-collection-2013.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> post, oohing and arring over the latest offerings from Urban Decay. The above palette is the Naked Blush Trio, the sister product the the Naked Eyeshadow.

Last month I also saw that L'Oreal are continuing with the speckled nail trend so I suspect this will be something we see a lot of in the months to come.

As always, it was easy and affordable as I think that's what makes projects most appealing! All too often I have given up on things when they were too complex (I'm looking at you 'easy sew nappy bag') and felt frustrated and out of pocket (yeah, still you 'easy sew nappy bag. Grrrr). If your repins on <a href="http://pinterest.com/louiseglitter/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> were anything to go by, this DIY tutorial was a hit.

She is buried in my back garden (I paid extra for the vet to come out to our house and leave her body- well worth the expense if you are ever in this awful position as the animal is a LOT calmer) and I imagine that she is up in heaven with my Mum and Gran and her kitty Mum and any brothers and sisters she might have had.

Motivational Monday #5

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Whilst 'Motivational Monday' was only ever meant to be a short term February Feature, I quite enjoy writing it, so decided to carry it on a little longer. Wonder if we'll make it to #10!?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRjvbHtxxtlOGGWPtYxl7mnuZxuvc4h5d2RkpaiUvvFzEKS18Du8el5SjHVmIA75WHWJGqddikc7nkwKHTKNymdCjIAKK_JHSsUsDNnqjoigEKotgnBhM7VGNlH_AEB7NsIcPCiF7eastg/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-02-19+at+16.59.55.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Motivational Monday | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRjvbHtxxtlOGGWPtYxl7mnuZxuvc4h5d2RkpaiUvvFzEKS18Du8el5SjHVmIA75WHWJGqddikc7nkwKHTKNymdCjIAKK_JHSsUsDNnqjoigEKotgnBhM7VGNlH_AEB7NsIcPCiF7eastg/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-02-19+at+16.59.55.png" title="Motivational Monday | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="392" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Last week was hard. Very hard. After weeks of of deliberating what was best, with the support of family and friends and the advice of vets, we put our much loved cat Mindy to sleep. She was very old and living with a great many health problems and everybody told me it was the kindest thing to do for her. It didn't feel kind though. It felt hateful and cruel and wrong.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I didn't like having power over someone's life like that. I felt like I was playing God and making decisions that were not mine to make. But, when it came to the choice of giving her a dignified peaceful end or letting her live out her last days in pain and misery, I knew which option was right. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Often times I think that people with the labels, 'Kind' and 'Gentle' are thought of as 'meek' and 'mild'. This is not the case. It is often the right behaviour to be kind but not always the easy behaviour. It can take a lot of strength to be kind and gentle when you may well be feeling quite the opposite.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Next time you feel yourself seeing red over something small or you feel like going gaga at the woman who nabbed your parking space when you were clearly indicating for it, take a moment and breath. Choose kind. It may not be easy and it will take guts, but ultimately, it is the right path to take and in the long run, you won't regret it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Previously...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-1.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #1</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-2.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #2</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-3.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #3 </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-4.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #4  </a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you think you will choose to be a little more gentle or a little kinder today?
