I couldn't just put up one picture when it comes to my friend, so there you have it. These are just a few of my amazing friends who know me very well and still seem to stick around. Some days I don't know what they're thinking, but most of the time I am just very grateful to have such spectacular people around me. Without people like this in my life I would never be able to make it through the ups and downs that life throws my way!

30 day blogging venture: Day 20
Day 20: the meaning behind your blog name
Inspirations is one of the bases of my blog. Inspiration comes in all shapes and forms, from magazines & songs, to window displays & other blogs, to recipes & photographs....
To me inspiration is creativity and bliss is also one of my favorite words. Bliss is ultimate happiness so it makes sense that I combine these 2 words to create the title of my blog.

Day 19: another picture of yourself + a personal update
The past few days have consisted of moving boxes and bubble wrap, lifting desks and trying to assemble furniture.
No, it's not me who's moving it's my sister. It's my older sister whom I have shared a house with for the past 21 years. I am trying not to dwell on the fact that we will probably never live together again and focus on how happy I am for her. She has a 2 bedroom flat above an adorable flower shop in the down town of our city. Even though we have very different tastes when it comes to color schemes or decorating preferences, it will be perfect for her 1st apartment.
I think we've made about 5 trips so far and that hasn't even included 1/2 of her clothes or a few important things like her bed or 2nd desk. There are still loads of things to do, but slowly and surely she will get moved in to her new space. There's not enough time to show pictures now because I have to quickly put this post up before we continue on the packing, but there will be many to come!

Day 18: something you crave a lot
There is something that is always good, that I never get sick of, that I couldn't live without, and that I always crave: ice cream. No matter what the day or the weather outside, ice cream is always my favorite comfort food.

Day 16: your celebrity crush
If you would have asked me this question a few weeks ago there would have been a totally different answer. A few weeks ago I might have chosen someone like Rupert Penry-Jones or Channing Tatum, but ever since I saw Marc Blucas as Riley Finn, in Buffy, there is no comparison.
He is the ideal guy: a gentleman, funny, easy on the eyes, sweet, manly, muscular, and did I mention in uniform? He's a member of this super secret military combat group and I can't get enough of him. A girl can dream, right?

Day 15: something you don’t leave the house without
If there are 2 things that I never leave the house without it would be #1 a spray of two of my favorite perfume or body sprays. I have quite a few to choose from and each seems to have it's own memories and moods. I use different sprays for not only the different seasons of the year but according to how I feel that day.
My #2 thing that I never leave the house without is one of my favorite possessions, my favorite ring. It's my class ring that I got in high school, but it's not your average class ring. It is made of white gold with a light blue stone surrounded by cubic zirconium. It is engraved with 'Immanuel' on one side and '2008' on the other. I never let it out of my sight!

Day 14: a TV show you’re currently addicted to
This is all my sister's fault. Well, I should also blame her boyfriend for getting her hooked, and therefore getting me hooked as well. I have always been a fan of the shows and book with supernatural elements in them {Harry Potter, Charmed, LOTR, the books I am reading at present} so it didn't surprise me that I would get hooked to a show like this one.
It has supernatural elements in it, along with some pretty funny characters that always have my laughing out loud through each episode. The show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I am into the 3rd season with all it's twists, turns, and unexpected plot lines. For better or worse I am addicted to it and enjoy it for a good laugh.

30 day blogging venture: Day 13
Day 13: your favorite musician and why?
This is an extremely hard decision for me to make because I love so many types of music and therefore many different musicians. I listen to just about anything from rock, to country, to punk, to pop.
When I think about music in general and as a whole, there is one band that comes to mind that I couldn't live without. These 4 musicians released their first record in 1963, and in the next 7 years produced over a dozen more. They created a new wave of excitement all the way from Liverpool England and are still one of the most famous and beloved bands of all times.
I hope you all can guess who I am talking about by now and if you guessed the Beatles you are most certainly correct. I was first introduced to their music pretty much as soon as I was born because it all started with my dad's influences. He was a Beatles fan from the beginning and was actually at their last concert before their broke up. He always told me the story about how once the Beatles started singing, all he heard was the sounds of the screaming fans.
When I visited my sister in England 2 years ago, we were fortunate enough to be able to see a Paul McCartney concert in Liverpool. We also took a day trip on the Magical Mystery Tour that took us all around the city, showing us some amazingly famous Beatles landmarks. This included the Cavern {pictured above} where the Beatles first performed, Strawberry field and Penny Lane {2 of their songs were named after them} and the McCartney house where Paul grew up.
It was definitely a once-in-a-life-time experience, one that I will never forget.

Day 12: a photograph {or 3} of the town you live in
This is a moment captured last fall on one of my fall photo shoots. The colors were so splendidly amazing I couldn't resist taking over 240 pictures!
I can never resist a brick building.
One of our beloved bridges in my city!
