"DO NOT SAY WHAT IS WRONG IN OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES. THEN OTHER PEOPLE WON'T SAY WHAT IS WRONG IN YOUR LIFE." ~ NLV

Hello All, 

Today I thought I'd share with you all a verse that I have recently come across and fallen in love with. 

I am a rather passionate person when it comes to certain things in life such as Theatre, God and Judgement. You may think that judgement is a rather odd thing to feel passionate about and that it's rather hypocritical, which I cannot deny! Recently I have been challenged with the opportunity to accept people into my life who are completely judged by other people and it got me to thinking that I don't want to be just another person who discriminates and judges a person on the rumours I have heard or on the way a person dresses or who they are or what they have done. 

I feel that in no way is it my place to judge a person because at the end of the day Judgement should be left down to God, so what if someone is on drugs, so what if someone is a thief, so what if someone is just sleeping around, yeah they may be sins but guess what so is that little white lie you told today, that deceitfulness you showed today and guess what all sin is equal in the eyes of God, we as humans are in no place to judge one another, instead we are supposed to LOVE and ACCEPT one another. 

If as Christians we claim to love and follow God but we discriminate against and judge those who look or sound different or who have come from a different background then we aren't following God. How is a person supposed to come to know God if they are treated with disrespect and looked down on, they aren't going to come to know God. 

To judge someone in a negative way is to say that you are more important then them, but you are not. They're as much of a child of God as you are and they deserve to be treated like one.

Do not say what is wrong in other people's lives. Then other people won't say what's wrong in your life.

Love Joanna

January Favourites

Hello Lovelies,

I know January isn't quite over yet but I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd do my January favourites and a little update!

So recently I have been very busy rehearsing for a play at college in which I am assistant directing and am also in (but I'm only a small role) however rehearsals take up so much time, so I get home and I just fall asleep because I'm so tired! I love being a part of plays, it's so much fun and you can learn so much! I can't believe the show is so soon!!

Anyway on with my favourites...

So this month I have been absolutely loving the Ted Baker Body Scrub and Body Cream, I would highly recommend both these products as they smell Devine  and honestly work wonders! 

I apologise for the awful quality of the photos, my poor phone doesn't have a great camera :/

I have been loving my new, short and healthy hair! My hair used to be so long but it was so dead and unhealthy so I decided I would need a change, a painfully short change, but I do love having my hair this length and I love how healthy it feels! 

Music wise this month I have been obsessing over mainly 2 albums. For Christmas I received an iTunes voucher, with it I purchased Demi Lovato's new album Demi which I cannot even put into words how much I love it, I love how deep some of her songs are and just how relatable they are! My favourite song off this album at the moment is probably something that we're not.

I have also been addicted to Avicii's album True, this album was a fairly random but for me as I had only heard 2 of the songs off the album when I purchased it, but honestly it is such a feel good album and I absolutely love it, I can't even pick a favourite song off this album because all the songs are just too good. 

These have just been a couple of things that I have discovered/loved during this month.

Let me know what you have been loving this month.

Lots of Love

My Slight Doctor Who Obsession

Hello all of Time and Space,

Today I thought I would share with you my very slight obsession with Doctor Who.

Ever since I was little I have watched Doctor Who and have stared at the screen mesmerised by how fascinating it was. When Matt Smith first made his appearance as the Doctor I really didn't like him, I wanted David Tennant back. However by about the 3rd Matt Smith episode I had fallen in love with him and it was safe to say he was 'My Doctor', yup Eleven is mine. But Clara 'Oswin' Oswald has turned my Love for Doctor Who into an extreme addiction. I literally want to be Clara!

For Christmas I got some Sonic Screwdriver earrings and a Fez and Bowtie Necklace which my Grandparents bought me from the site Etsy.com. I cannot even express to you my love for these!

These Earrings cost £15.64 can be bought from

Fez and Bowtie Necklace which costs £6.25 from  http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/100506887/11th-doctor-charm-necklace-doctor-who?ref=sr_gallery_4&ga_search_query=fez+and+bowtie+necklace&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=GB&ga_search_type=all

Jenna Louise-Coleman who plays Clara Oswald has definitely become my fashion inspiration to the extent I have had my hair cut like hers (although my hair needed cutting to that length because of how dead it was anyway, so I didn't really have much choice).

Jenna Coleman's Hair

My hair (and sneaky necklace) Jenna's looks better but ah well. 

If any of you love Doctor Who as much as me then I will happily fangirl with you, but for now...

New Years Resolutions

Hello Lovelies,

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2014 is here already and that can only mean New Years Resolutions. Every year I make New Years resolutions and by about lunch time on New Years Day I've already failed. This year however I'm going to set my self some targets which I hope to not fail. Firstly I am aiming to work hard, I am aiming to take challenges, I am aiming to read a lot and to write a lot and to not give up! I am one of those people who can shy out of a challenge and put my self down but this year is going to be different, I am going to be confident and I am going to accept the challenges life offers me and I will not give up.

What are you setting as your New Years resolutions? 

Love Joanna
