<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like with many of the trends I feature on this series, marble has very quickly become a design element I'm seeing absolutely everywhere. Not only is the physical stone making waves in home design, but imitations are just as highly sought after- It seems you can get just about anything printed with this trendy design! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The use of marble in the design world dates back thousands of years. It was a highly favoured material in ancient Greece and Rome for structures and sculptures due to its durability- Something evident in the fact that many of these pieces are still around today. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Doesn't the marble in each imagine just create this great sense of sophistication? I just love it! I believe as a whole, the design world has moved away from the big 'handmade/reclaimed/vintage' movement and entered a more premium, simplistic style that truly embraces the use of natural stone. Here's hoping that marble will continue to grace us with it's presents through 2016.<em><br /><br /></em>What are your thoughts?

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, I know what you're going to say, Where the heck have I been?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It feels like more often than not I'm coming back to you all with apologies and excuses to explain my absence from the internet which I <em>hate</em>. Getting back into some kind of blogging schedule has definitely proven to be easier said than done. At the end of the day, I love working on this blog and I love interacting with you all so I'm back to give it my best shot. I hope there are still some of you out there who'll join me on my journey. <br /><br />Can you believe its already September?! These days are passing faaaar too quickly!! For us down under, this means warmer days ahead filled with plenty of sunshine. Although my preference has always been cooler weather, I can't be any more thrilled that its finally spring!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Actually, I always seem to find myself feeling particularly excited at the beginning of each season. I believe n</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ew seasons bring promises of change, and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm excited to embrace new changes so as to grow in these upcoming months. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being expressive and creative has <i>always</i> been my passion in life. Any recent efforts to be expressive have been for a purpose rather than for passion and I find that it takes away the pleasure of creating. I don't see any reason as to why these can't go hand in hand with each other, and thats exactly what I'm hoping to accomplish. It</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> can definitely be challenging at times to find motivation or time- like with anything, but it makes my soul happy.. A</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">nd so as the days grow longer and the warm summer air fills the atmosphere, I hope that you'll find me creating, always.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another huge priority is improving and maintaining my online presence. My relationship I've worked hard to build with you all over the past year is extremely important to me- Just as important as the relationships I build in my personal life. Like with any relationship, it requires constant maintenance and effort but hard work really does pay off- I'm most excited about this new change.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For all of my friends up north where it may be getting a little colder, my wonderful friend <a href="https://twitter.com/rossyepetrova" target="_blank">Rossye</a> has created a post on <a href="https://lifewithrossye.wordpress.com/2015/09/01/autumn-is-knocking-at-our-doors/" target="_blank">her blog</a> about autumn, she'd love for you to check it out! She was actually the inspiration behind this post (Thanks love!) I hope this seasonal change you'll be experiencing is one you're all excited about. Will you be making any changes? Leave your comments below, I'll see you again very soon! <br /><br />Love Megan xo</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />It's been a little while since I've posted a craft tutorial on the blog (sorry!!) and I thought it was overdue. I found this pattern in one of my print outs and thought it was such a simple but effective design. I'm so excited to share it with you all today! <br /><br />Now, I hadn't ever completed any projects quite like this one and I actually found a little difficult. My block certainly isn't perfect but I am still very much a beginner and that's what practice is for. In saying this, I am very happy with the results and I hope its a project you'll enjoy too. I'll definitely do a follow up and complete this block again soon hopefully rectifying my issues. <br /><br />Now, lets get started.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next step is to stitch the (A) and (D) triangles together like above. Repeat to make 8 triangle units.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The remainder of your (A) triangles will be used in this step. Stitch these triangles to either sides of your (F) squares. Be sure that your (A) triangle on one side is upside-down like above. Repeat to make all four of these units.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using the (AD) Triangles from earlier, stitch them on either side of the four (AF) units like above. Make sure to take extra care here to ensure your seams align. </span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that all of the components of this block are complete, its time to sew them all together in place. I started by stitching two of the (ADAF) units to the centre piece before combining the corners on the top and bottom units.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Well, can you believe it? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Its been exactly 365 days since I launched myself into the wonderful world of blogging... and what a year it's been! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">When starting this journey of mine a year ago today, I definitely didn't know what to expect or if anything would come of it at all. I simply wanted my own little place to inspire change. Have I succeeded in doing so? While that may be up for interpretation, I believe by developing this space, I've unintentionally inspired change in myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This past year has been the biggest so far for me in terms of personal growth. While much of this growth is due to external influences and experiences I've had, I can't deny that my emotional health has been uplifted by the work I've done on this blog, as well as the interactions I've had with you, my readers. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I am often asked about my contributions and experiences with the blog in my everyday life and nothing pleases me more than the fact I am proudly able to say that I've not confronted any negativity from readers, nor others in the blogging community. It may be my intention to always remain positive and work to inspire, but it is everyone who continues to support me who are truly responsible for the operations of this blog even a year on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">If you're a new blogger, my biggest piece advice to you in overcoming your first year would be to seek support from others in the community. I've gotten involved in group discussions particularly over on <a href="https://twitter.com/RoomWithaBloom" target="_blank">Twitter </a>and have now made absolutely wonderful friends from all around the world. It's such a rewarding interest and starting up the blog truly was one of the best things i've done to date.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I have a few things I would love to accomplish in this next year of my blogging journey and you may have read about them previously in <a href="http://www.roomwithabloom.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/room-to-bloom.html" target="_blank">this post</a> of mine. Hopefully by taking things slowly, I can achieve some of my current goals and continue on to the next. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Again, regardless of whether you've been around from the very beginning or if this is the first post of mine you've stumbled across, Thank you for everything. I'm very appreciative of the support and kindness that's always been shown to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy 1st Birthday 'Room With a Bloom', hopefully many more to come! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'Inspiration Monday' are easily my most requested posts and they're one of my favourite ones to make. Creating them also makes for a great excuse to spend hours on Pinterest (not that I ever need an excuse, right?!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It seems as though everywhere i look lately is being dominated by these </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">warm, brass shades.. If the title didn't already give it away, today we're talking </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">about the copper/rose gold trend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Copper was initially used to create tools and weapons before it was ever utilised in the design world. During the 15th century, the material began being used to create artworks and sculptures. Both copper and rose gold had also become a widely desired alloy in jewellery design in passing years. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now both of these materials have become quite favoured in home design and fashion and it doesn't seem like a trend that will be letting up any time soon.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyone who knows me personally would know exactly how much I adore all things copper and rose gold- Isn't it just so pretty?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These warm metallic fixtures and fittings <i>always</i> stand out. It just looks absolutely beautiful when added to simple interiors. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What i love most about it is the versatility of the material. When paired with light, delicate pieces, a sense of elegance and femininity is formed. In contrast, copper can carry its own in industrial settings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I want to know your thoughts- Do you love this trend as much as I do? If you do, don't forget to check out my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/roomwithablooom/copper-culture/" target="_blank">'Copper Culture' Pinterest board</a> to see what else inspired me to create this post. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thats it for this time. Please let me know if you've got any ideas for my next instalment of the 'Inspiration Monday' series and I'll see you back here for a new post very soon.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've seen this particular tag floating around the YouTube world for some time now and thought it would be fun to create my interpretation here on the blog- </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's hope straight in! </span></div>

They know just how to cheer you up when needed most! These past few months in particular have been some of the hardest I've gone through and I have no clue where i'd be without them being by my side- so thank you!!</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">My blogger friends: As you all know, the blog has been a very quiet </span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">place over the past few months with everything going on in my personal life. I never expected all of my friends and readers to be so understanding and supportive! It means the world to me to have so many of you checking in and inspiring me to continue forward and i really do appreciate it!</span></span></div>

2. What do you do to try and be more positive?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may remember that towards the end of 2014, I was taking part in the Instagram <a href="http://100happydays.com/" target="_blank">#100happydays</a> Challenge. If you're unfamiliar with that challenge, you are to post 1 picture every single day for 100 days in a row of something that makes you happy. I can honestly say that although i didn't finish the challenge, it certainly did help me to focus on the small things in each day that make me smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got 45 days left of the challenge and I'd really love to continue moving forward. If you'd like to see my pictures for the remaining days of the challenge, head on over and follow me on <a href="https://instagram.com/roomwithabloom/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
3. What do you like to do to relax?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've recently been heading out for long walks most days. I find that it helps me clear my mind and wind down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also find painting landscapes in my spare time very therapeutic! I've been doing little bits every now and then but haven't completed any new artworks as of recently.. But here's a shot of a painting i completed a few months ago that I've gifted to my eldest sister!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
4. What is your favourite positive quote?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this question incredibly hard.. How could anyone expect me to pick just one quote?!!?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigvD_yhSffhJs3R3sge87SGAWfeNim5qySkmf-uXVfgidzE_E0IfemtlxZCJzbInSO5jX2RaDAb5eDUlGWlOTb2Rbyag2Hi5_nLSL_AfczpY95-yK10D4GUIhT4PjH1uiPappZZjQDbzNZ/s1600/tumblr_nfdgr6tCSv1rs1spbo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigvD_yhSffhJs3R3sge87SGAWfeNim5qySkmf-uXVfgidzE_E0IfemtlxZCJzbInSO5jX2RaDAb5eDUlGWlOTb2Rbyag2Hi5_nLSL_AfczpY95-yK10D4GUIhT4PjH1uiPappZZjQDbzNZ/s320/tumblr_nfdgr6tCSv1rs1spbo1_500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<em>
</em><div style="text-align: center;">
<em>"The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live only as you can." -Neil Gaiman</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This quote reminds me how much my thoughts and actions matter in this world, something we all need to be reminded off at times. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is only one you, so be the best you that you could possibly be! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
5. Everybody has a part of their body that they dislike. Say something positive about yours</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mine is definitely my stomach, I'm not too sure theres much to be said about it except for that its a part of me. Every little part of me has been brought together to make up the person that I am, and at the end of the day there really is no one else id rather be! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
6. Who are your positive role models?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did a lot of thinking about this question and I really believe that I'm inspired most by content creators- Have you really ever seen a more positive bunch?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I may have chosen bloggers/vloggers specifically as my motivation because the pessimistic side to their personalities are rarely ones they wish to portray online. Regardless, it is the optimistic side that's shown every day that truly inspires me to be an overall more positive person.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
7. Who should do this tag next?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead of tagging specific people, I'm leaving this one open for anyone who would like to do this tag post. If you do, please leave me a link and i'll be sure to check it out! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thats it for the positivity tag, I really hope you enjoyed reading my responses! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll see you back here for a brand new post soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello, Sew happy to see you again!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It's been a little while since I last uploaded any content on the blog and I've been so inspired to create lately. With newly found desire </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">to sew to my hearts content, I thought I'd create a new tutorial for you all! <br /><br />*This block measures 12 1/2" unfinished*<br /><br />To create this Pinwheel star block, you'll need a few supplies:<br /></span></div>
<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVYto5-iaG8ZM4SuEHXbgUcYq7FuJbufXpHofW3NEDQ9qNGd_A-ADMmSW_OuddSlsr2_daG2ltODytqNPVsGJObLjZxMAaXIc2tQCcZaBne8rXsadHEfsZTa6pf6whXiYyKDVOV-iUebl7/s1600/15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVYto5-iaG8ZM4SuEHXbgUcYq7FuJbufXpHofW3NEDQ9qNGd_A-ADMmSW_OuddSlsr2_daG2ltODytqNPVsGJObLjZxMAaXIc2tQCcZaBne8rXsadHEfsZTa6pf6whXiYyKDVOV-iUebl7/s1600/15.jpg" height="451" width="640" /></a><br />

<li>(1) 4.5" square using dark or patterned fabric, cut diagonally twice</li>
<li>(2) 4" squares, cut diagonally once</li>
<li>(8) 3.5" squares using dark or patterned fabric</li>

<li>(1) 3.5" x 6.5" rectangle using the same light fabric as the squares above.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Directions: <br /><br />To create the inner pinwheel, lay the triangle shapes as shown.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhWmkMj4PUP2Ot-gMClGJO3o6g5QJguQfTxmBZrS8p-N1BmlkRx_cDLUQiEyhG8D9adg1y6tBU-_kyOwExjw5vNQHObfyiRSs8PL63ejs8o3W_ogkur6K6PvtaS3vlZQH0gggGZrQAva7Q/s1600/14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhWmkMj4PUP2Ot-gMClGJO3o6g5QJguQfTxmBZrS8p-N1BmlkRx_cDLUQiEyhG8D9adg1y6tBU-_kyOwExjw5vNQHObfyiRSs8PL63ejs8o3W_ogkur6K6PvtaS3vlZQH0gggGZrQAva7Q/s1600/14.jpg" height="451" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Sew the two quarter triangles together. When ironing these pieces, be sure you press it against the darker fabric. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiqnaIdzkdJRkVGE6j3dRW323zLSclKDX9CkYPG0fIzwreX937WNHcK8hMfhEMIKUHwj0tQQ22VeqSdBPze8Y9j4MQ6WXnJl1OVxaZojECgTIh-JPBoe819oOPp6J04EAo3VzcUwUo4UP_/s1600/13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiqnaIdzkdJRkVGE6j3dRW323zLSclKDX9CkYPG0fIzwreX937WNHcK8hMfhEMIKUHwj0tQQ22VeqSdBPze8Y9j4MQ6WXnJl1OVxaZojECgTIh-JPBoe819oOPp6J04EAo3VzcUwUo4UP_/s1600/13.jpg" height="451" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, you'll need to sew the next triangle to the already sewn units. The overhanging corners sticking out can be trimmed away at this point.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqeEskhazKpD001pvdOFU-z4LWzWNG_dmut5UtH4vSjDtQuLNOvQs6NRnPEMHfoJSmiCSJheQzIY70etVb7oiFEcJpbsofzkTTUdO6pIdaY3LDrHTaRwmSWS6UsQXDsoiooI92u8oUsZDZ/s1600/12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqeEskhazKpD001pvdOFU-z4LWzWNG_dmut5UtH4vSjDtQuLNOvQs6NRnPEMHfoJSmiCSJheQzIY70etVb7oiFEcJpbsofzkTTUdO6pIdaY3LDrHTaRwmSWS6UsQXDsoiooI92u8oUsZDZ/s1600/12.jpg" height="451" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Arrange the pinwheel pieces so that they seams are opposing each other as follows. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFPAndL-BQErr9y60oCnKLI25Xfmd16I9KS0sf-tHi1ba_4-FT6JFFjDS3fD2iL6X2X9gaCUZZWpW-csTVvIVFHh0VIoPK6w0X1JhCZiBdJFz3mVv03RCLIsDZ1MmIKgJwBjXgbwxET0pR/s1600/11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFPAndL-BQErr9y60oCnKLI25Xfmd16I9KS0sf-tHi1ba_4-FT6JFFjDS3fD2iL6X2X9gaCUZZWpW-csTVvIVFHh0VIoPK6w0X1JhCZiBdJFz3mVv03RCLIsDZ1MmIKgJwBjXgbwxET0pR/s1600/11.jpg" height="451" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then sew the pieces together in pairs.<br />You may find it tricky to match up the pieces insuring they meet up perfectly in the centre. I don't really have any tricks for getting this right, apart from a little practice! <br />Once sewn and pressed, you should have successfully created your inner pinwheel (measuring 6 1/2" unfinished) </span></div>

For beginners like me, you may find it easy if you use a pencil to draw a straight line across to use as a guide.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Monday!</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Can you believe it's already February? It'll be time for some Christmas crafts before you know it!! I thought I'd write a quick Inspiration Monday post this afternoon to get you through the rest of the week- Let's talk monochrome!<br /><br />Words that come to mind?<br /><em>Bold, Sophisticated, Classic.<br /><br /></em>This style has been around forever and is forever finding ways to reinvent itself.<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monochromatic design plays on design principles such as shapes, lighting and textures to create stunning spaces with the additional benefit of having clean lines to create definition.</span> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />This style certainly makes a statement! <br />The pictures I've chosen to include in this post are quite beautiful. The contrast between the shades can easily appear harsh, but each interior uses soft textures and natural materials that warm up the space. These images in particular are just so bright and airy- something I just adore! If you prefer a dramatic look, try searching for some interiors that use darker tones as the dominant colour.<br /><br />What about you, are you loving this bold trend at the moment? As always, please leave a comment sharing your thoughts as well as ideas for new posts in my Inspiration Monday series. Also, don't forget to check out my </span><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/roomwithablooom/monochrome-madness/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'Monochrome Madness' Pinterest board</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> for more Pinspiration!</span> <br />

back! <br /><br />I hope you all had a wonderful festive season and a great start to 2015!<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Straight away, i want to apologise for my absence here on the blog. Leaving you all without any explanation is something I certainly never intended to do.<br /><br />If you’ve been following
me on <a href="https://twitter.com/RoomWithaBloom" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, you’ll know that life has suddenly become completely
crazy lately! I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to begin working full
time which unfortunately meant that my free time has become quite limited. On top of this, I've also been dealing with some big changes in personal relationships. With everything going on, the blog simply became less of a priority.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Things are in no way starting to settle down, but I believe that if I don't begin writing again, I may go a little bonkers! It's time I get 'back on the horse' and commit to delivering some fantastic posts for you all.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
In saying this, I now know that I would much rather deliver very few quality posts
that are truly inspiring than a whole bunch of 'filler' posts that I won’t ever be proud
of. I’ve made the decision to cut back on the amount of posts I upload in 2015.
Although it may not seem like very much work, I’ve found it very difficult to
manage and maintain the blog and keep up with other areas of my life. For now, let’s
not put a limit on how often I'll be posting- Instead, let’s just take this
journey together slow and steadily! It might not be very many, but I CAN
promise you that every post that goes up on the blog will be a piece that I’ve
put my heart into and I’m proud of. I hope that you’ll all continue to support
me on my journey!<br /><br />So, what's next for Room with a Bloom in 2015?<br /><br />Probably the most exciting thing coming up in 2015 will be the launch of my Etsy store.. Eeeeek!!! I wont be sharing too much about it at this stage, but keep your eyes peeled for that!<br /><br />I've also got some big plans for content that may include guest posts, giveaways, new community forum sections and some new series' too- I'm getting excited just thinking about it!! <br />
<br />So now I need your help..<br /><br />Please leave me some comments with suggestions of posts you'd love to see on Room with a Bloom! Maybe there was a post in the past that you just loved- tell me about it! This will help me better prepare and plan for the future. After all, There's not much point spending time on posts that aren't interesting, right?<br /><br />Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your constant support, I love you all! I wish everyone a happy and safe 2015<br /><br />Love Megan xo<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Answers to Sophie's questions:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<ol><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
<li>Why did you start blogging? <div>
</div>
<div>
<span class="irc_su" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I've covered this a couple of times on the blog, but if you'd like to learn more, I've included the full story on my <a href="http://www.roomwithabloom.blogspot.com.au/p/about-me.html" target="_blank">'About'</a> page on the blog!</span></span></div>
<div>
Starting a blog was something I had been thinking about doing for a very long time. I wanted a way for me to inspire readers to decorate their homes. 'Room with a Bloom' was originally meant to be dedicated to only interior
design. My passions grew and the blog became what it is today- I couldn't be happier with the result and can't wait to see where this blog takes me! </div>
<div>
</div>
</li>
<li>What do you enjoy the most about the blogging experience?<div>
</div>
<div>
The blogging experience is no where near what I thought it would be. It's something you need to experience to understand. I love interacting with other readers and bloggers both here and on my social media accounts (particularly <a href="https://twitter.com/RoomWithaBloom" target="_blank">Twitter</a>) I feel as if I've made hundreds of new friends over the past 6 months!</div>
<div>
</div>
</li>
<li>How do you find inspiration for your posts?<div>
</div>
<div>
Absolutely everywhere! Most often, Inspiration has struck while browsing Pinterest. There are so many fantastic ideas over there!</div>
<div>
I also find inspiration searching other blogs. There are so many creative and talented people on the web!</div>
<div>
</div>
</li>
<li>What is your biggest ambition in life?<div>
</div>
<div>
My ultimate goal in life has always been to have a family and a house in the suburbs. A couple of my more personal goals include building an Etsy shop and writing a book. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to begin my shop some time next year! As for the book, I'm not even sure if i'll ever be given this opportunity, but one can dream! </div>
<div>
</div>
</li>
<li>What beauty product could you absolutely not live without?<br /><br /><div>
I honestly think that there isn't a beauty product I couldn't live without. Except maybe a hair brush- does that count? Let's just go with my moisturiser. I'm currently using one from Nivea which I'm enjoying!</div>
<div>
</div>
</li>
<li>What advice would you give your younger self?<div>
<br />
During school, I often worried about being popular and having tonnes of friends. I really needed someone to tell me that it doesn't matter how many friends you have. What truly matters is the quality of the friends you do have!</div>
<div>
</div>
</li>
<li>Where in the world would you love to travel to?<br /><br /><div>
One day I hope to visit Paris. I'm sure many others have the same goal! It's just such a beautiful city!</div>
<div>
</div>
</li>
<li>What is your signature perfume?<br /><br /><div>
I've gone back to using 'La vie est belle' by Lancôme at the moment- Its such a delicate and feminine fragrance!</div>
<div>
</div>
</li>
<li>If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be?<br /><br /><div>
I don't think I've ever been asked this question, and I definitely had to think about it! I'm sure most people will have gone with a world leader for this question.. But I really would love a meal with Taylor Swift. She's by far my favourite musician and I'd love to talk to her about her writing process!</div>
<div>
</div>
</li>
<li>What is top of your Christmas list this year?<br /><br /><div>
I haven't even thought about this to be honest! </div>
<div>
I think I'd like a nice pair of silver stud ear rings for Christmas! (hint hint dad!) I'm also looking to get a new handbag soon so that just might be my present to myself!<br />
<br />
My questions for YOU to answer:<br />
<br />
1. What is your blog about?<br />
2. What do you want to achieve by blogging?<br />
3. Which bloggers are you inspired by?<br />
4. What Christmas traditions are you most excited for?<br />
5. If you had to live in a decade other than the current one, which would you choose?<br />
6. What’s your favourite quote?<br />
7. If you were auditioning for The X Factor, what would your power song be?<br />
8. What's something unusual that you love to eat?<br />
9. What's your dream job?<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello there!<br /><br />Monday again already? Oh well, Let's all remember to take each day as it comes and celebrate all of the little successes we have today. If that doesn't make you beam with positivity then todays 'Inspiration Monday' post definitely will! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you're like me and can get 'lost' in IKEA on purpose, then I think this just might be the post for you..<br /><br />Today, we're talking all things Scandinavian!<br /><br />This design movement began in the 1930's throughout Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. It had branched off Modernism and was characterized by it's simplicity of forms and functionality. It's often observed that this design movement has a strong relationship with nature due to the natural materials used and shapes formed.<br /><br />Here are a couple of tips for achieving this truly gorgeous style:<br /><br />1. Start with a blank canvas: These interiors have white walls and light coloured timber flooring. <br /><br />2. Add small splashes of colour: This style is known for being a bit fun so add colours through use of accessories and soft furnishings!<br /><br />3. Add soft, natural textures: This will not only give visual warmth but will increase comfort- which is another key component of this style!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Oh I simply adore this look- aren't these interiors just beautiful?<br />I think the pale colour palette makes the overall feel of these interiors bright and 'airy'. The soft textures and bright accessories introduced creates a warmth so as not to feel sterile and cold. <br /><br />These pictures are giving me so much inspiration for my own future place, I just love it!!</span></span><span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Happy Saturday!! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />Today I'm posting the next catch up for the past two weeks! If you missed it, I was allowing myself to have a blogging break last week which meant my post didn't go up. Don't worry, I'm feeling happy and inspired now so there shouldn't be anymore unscheduled breaks for quite a while! <br /><br />The past 2 weeks of the project have been really good. I've enjoyed finding all of the things in my day that make me smile- In fact, I just might be getting used to whipping out my camera anytime I'm feeling happy! Although I've had a few rocky days, I've been able to remind myself quite easily to notice the wonderful things in each day! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello again lovely readers!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Although it may not seem that long ago, it feels like forever since I've made a craft post for the blog. They're my favourite posts to create so I thought I would go ahead and make a new one for you all today!<br />I was inspired to create this post by the warmer weather we here in Australia have been experiencing lately. I think that these little lanterns are just perfect for summer backyard parties! They're also really easy and inexpensive to make- I had all of the materials already at home!<br />Keep reading to find out how you can make these little lanterns! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">For this project you'll need:</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Tin Cans</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">A power drill</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Thin wire</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Pliers</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Spray Paint in assorted colours</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Tea light candles</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Before starting this project, you'll need to do some preparation. Fill your cans with water and freeze them overnight. This is so you don't bend the cans out of shape when drilling holes into them. You may also like to print out some designs for your lanterns too.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiWUIgY5wssRS5XyGOuJ8j9ekEVgfrresL2U3XAKE5tUE1bXqiXrm-Wit-SJchKlGzmFPAjR4gYxKZ24_pUE8GogQy40JiCQQVSjBIh9OCbq8GV91PD_N5JqEpv8WDK-T8Mzgq0MJRpIIY/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiWUIgY5wssRS5XyGOuJ8j9ekEVgfrresL2U3XAKE5tUE1bXqiXrm-Wit-SJchKlGzmFPAjR4gYxKZ24_pUE8GogQy40JiCQQVSjBIh9OCbq8GV91PD_N5JqEpv8WDK-T8Mzgq0MJRpIIY/s1600/1.jpg" height="282" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />Tape your chosen design to the can. Alternatively, you can use a marker to draw a design onto your can. I learned that the simpler the design, the better the results! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVD-tHbfOVcTvnZuAUuLrmf00aiXwHpzylISt-zb_oZNz8_u7dShBDLKrYdyI7ozVO0wlIP2e7NXatHkHtPd1m2-AsVLEek5-cvdh5ai-kfYLJFY6QE2bCZHTIuMCyxEJRjouyJ0Nu35p/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVD-tHbfOVcTvnZuAUuLrmf00aiXwHpzylISt-zb_oZNz8_u7dShBDLKrYdyI7ozVO0wlIP2e7NXatHkHtPd1m2-AsVLEek5-cvdh5ai-kfYLJFY6QE2bCZHTIuMCyxEJRjouyJ0Nu35p/s1600/2.jpg" height="282" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Using your power drill, drill holes outlining your chosen design. I used a few different sized drill bits to create my design because I thought it would look a bit interesting! Remember to try your best at keeping the spacing of the holes as even as possible- This design didn't really go to plan, but I thought it still looked pretty cool! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">At this point, you'll also need to drill 2 holes on either side of the can for your handle. Once you've finished drilling, remove the ice by pouring hot water over it. It should melt relatively fast! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVXYX9Ip2kL8XY-EeX4rSfeqnoMQYRPOMzupYSo2nJTh-xbjlNBv7CkzV6cHI-AJxTvru3NSVUTMw9jCvuzrBo6D5xCk7YnDJ_zuq-x_RRRoQxEsWnvAv54PWSjkYUyKog6ZhihvSfwoHh/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVXYX9Ip2kL8XY-EeX4rSfeqnoMQYRPOMzupYSo2nJTh-xbjlNBv7CkzV6cHI-AJxTvru3NSVUTMw9jCvuzrBo6D5xCk7YnDJ_zuq-x_RRRoQxEsWnvAv54PWSjkYUyKog6ZhihvSfwoHh/s1600/3.jpg" height="282" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Next, Cut your wire to make the desired length for your handle. Thread one side through the hole and twist the wire together using your pliers. Once that's done, do the exact same thing to the other side!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now its time to spray paint your lanterns! I used 2-3 coats for an opaque colour, but feel free to use as much as you'd like. This step is completely optional, but I thought it gave it a fun and festive touch! Remember to allow time for the coats to dry! </span></div>

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">

I was taking a much needed break from blogging, I hope you all understand. Instead, next weeks post will combine weeks 3 & 4 together so you wont be missing out! Thankyou for giving me time to rest!<br /><br />Have an amazing week<br /><br />Love Megan xo</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hello Everyone and Happy Halloween to you all! <br /><br />Am I the only one who can't believe that it's the end of October already? The year has practically flown by and before you know it, it'll be Christmas! (Not that I'm complaining- I'm far more excited than I should be!!) </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I only have a couple of picks this month, but since I hadn't done a 'favourites' post since July, I thought I'd better update you all on my current obsessions! Shall we get started?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Ah, <a href="http://dermae.com/product/272/Vitamin-E-Skin-Oil-14,000-I.U..html" target="_blank">Vitamin E Oil</a>. I first discovered this little gem while on my trip to the Grampians last month. I needed a quick fix for my dry, damaged hair and this seemed to work wonders! I've since been using on my face after cleansing and it has made a world of difference! If you have dry skin just like me, I highly recommend picking up a bottle!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />Something you all should know about me is that I am a nail polish addict and I own more polishes than I care to admit. I've tried tonnes of brands and formulations but haven't found one I absolutely love until now!<br />Yes, I'm jumping on the bandwagon a little late here, but this month I've been loving the formulation of <a href="http://opi.com/" target="_blank">OPI Nail polishes</a>! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I painted my nails with OPI's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/OPI-Nail-Lacquer-Russian-Suede/dp/B001DDLNWM" target="_blank">'Russian Navy'</a> earlier this month and loved it! The colour was opaque and it lasted on my nails for well over a week without any chipping! I'll defiantly be picking up some new colours from this brand very soon!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">For the past couple of weeks, I've been making some green smoothies in the morning. It was always something I thought people did for the health benefits rather than because it tasted good, but I really have loved drinking them! My favourite smoothie has been the 'Make-Me-Over Mojito smoothie' found in Sarah Wilsons book <a href="http://store.iquitsugar.com/" target="_blank">'I Quit Sugar'</a>. If drinking green smoothies and juices has been something you've considered but haven't done, I highly recommend giving it a go! It's become such a treat for me and I cant wait to find and try new recipes!</span></div>

I pretty much always end up browsing her little corner of the internet every time I'm in need of Inspiration. I find her blog informative and interesting- I could literally spend hours reading all of her wonderful posts! So well done, Kirsty! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some days, it's only fitting that I write about subjects relating to my personal life. Today is one of those days..<br /><br />Most of the time, I'm pretty sure of who I am. (which is more than I can say about a lot of people my age!) But sometimes, I just lose myself. My beliefs suddenly become unclear and I lose sight of where I'm going. Has this happened to you? </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maybe if I were older, this wouldn't ever be an issue. I mean, what is it about o</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">lder people? They just seem so damn sure of themselves all the time. Perhaps truly knowing who you are just comes with life experience and time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Today, I wanted to share some of my tips that I think will help some of you who might be going through this identity struggle too! <br /><br />Let's get started!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><strong>1. Love yourself first.</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, so this might sound a little cliché, but It's true! I believe knowing who you are and being comfortable in your own skin only comes from being 100% ay-okay with yourself. That means that its time to stop hating on your flaws and imperfects. Now, repeat after me: <em>Perfection <strong>doesn't</strong> exist. </em><br /><br /><strong>2. Have a purpose.</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is it that you love to do? What are you passionate about? For me, it's being creative! It doesn't matter how I do it, just as long as I am always creating something. Figuring out what you love can play such a big part in finding out who you are. If you're not sure what it is exactly that you love to do, then follow my next tip.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><strong>3. Discover.</strong><br />So, how is it that you find your purpose? Just do something- anything! Have as many new experiences as you can. It's okay to be a little scared, that means you're stepping outside of your comfort zone. As you adapt to new environments, your experiences will mould your interests. </span><br />

<span class="st"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." - George Bernard<br /><br />Perhaps that's just it. We shouldn't worry so much about figuring out who we're meant to be, but rather create the person we actually want to be. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="st"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Did this post help you to discover yourself, or do you have any extra tips? Please leave your thoughts below as I'd love to hear them! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="st"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I apologise if this post seemed a little disjointed and short, I'm running on limited sleep today! I'll have an exciting post ready for you all on Thursday! Have a fabulous day everyone and i'll see you soon!<br /><br />Love Megan xo</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Thursday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />If you aren't already aware, I have been living sugar free for the past four weeks. (I know it sounds a little crazy, but just bear with me!) A little over a month ago, I signed up for <a href="http://iquitsugar.com/8-week-program/" target="_blank">Sarah Wilson's 'I Quit Sugar 8 Week Program</a></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><a href="http://iquitsugar.com/8-week-program/" target="_blank">'</a>. Never heard of it? well, let me fill you in! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The program is designed as a way to help people who are trying to overcome their addiction and cravings for sugar. Until a few months ago, it had never occurred to me that I may be 'addicted' to sugar (nor did I realize that it was actually a thing!) <br /><br />The problem with consuming too much sugar (Fructose specifically) is that our bodies just don't use it. Glucose, (the other component of sugar) is good sugar, and it can be used by all of our cells for energy. Fructose, is quite the opposite. It not only gets turned directly into fat, but it goes undetected by our bodies, meaning we continue to eat even after we're full. The complicated part is that it's extremely addictive and unfortunately, it's added to almost everything we eat!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /><br />I don't want to go into it in too much detail here, but if you'd like to know more information, I recommend checking out these books:<br /><br />'Sweet Poison' + '<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The Sweet Poison Quit Plan' by David Gillespie<br />'I Quit Sugar' + 'I Quit Sugar for Life' by Sarah Wilson</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I signed up to the program for a couple of reasons.. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Most of my life I've struggled with my weight. Don't get me wrong, I would love my body even if I weighed 300 kilos! But unfortunately, it had gotten to the stage where it stopped me from doing things I've wanted to do. I became quite tired and often had trouble sleeping. I knew the way I lived was unhealthy, and I knew I needed to do something about it. A lovely friend of mine quit sugar almost a year ago and speaks only positive things about her experience! I decided to give it a go, hoping for a realistic lifestyle change. <br /><br />Approaching the half way mark of the program, I decided to write this post so I can not only reflect on what I've achieved in the program so far, but also share my experience for anyone who might be considering this program for themselves.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So far, the biggest change has been my attitude to drinking water. Before starting the program, There hadn't been a single day that I can ever remember not having soft drink. I simply couldn't stand the taste of water!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Today, I'm happy to tell you that it's been 17 days since my last glass of diet coke. What surprised me the most is that I don't even want it anymore! I can happily sit in a crowded room filled with people drinking sugary drinks and I'm not the slightest bit inclined to have a glass myself. It might not be much but for me, this is a really big step and I couldn't be prouder of myself! To add to that, I've also kicked a few kilos, and gained tones of energy! So far, I'm feeling absolutely fantastic and I just can't wait to see even more results! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">If you or someone you know has been considering the 'IQS8WP', then I would highly recommend it! Sarah and her team offer you delicious meal plans, easy recipes and tips to help you out along the way. Of course If you have any problems or questions at all, you are easily able to consult an IQS ambassador or fellow participants in the forums! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello Everyone!<br /><br />I thought it was about time I wrote a new 'Inspiration Monday' post for you all, so today I would like to share my thoughts on the vintage trend.</span><br />
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This style has been all the rage in fashion, media, music and interiors for quite a few years now. Logging into Pinterest without seeing the iconic style is near impossible nowadays. As I browse through boutiques stapled with distressed crates and old fashioned milk bottles, I wonder what it is exactly about this trend that's turning our homes into time machines?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br />The design world constantly looks to the past for inspiration. We see it on runways and in home magazines, but why? Perhaps its simply doing what we know works while adding our own contemporary twist on the idea? <br /><br />Well, </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I believe this style performs so well because as a society, we embrace the push for sustainability. We are now beginning to look at the way we use resources differently, including up-cycling old products to create new, innovative ones.<br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />This has got to be my favourite 'Inspiration Monday' trend so far- I just think its absolutely adorable! I love the idea of adding a bit of history to your home. I think it just makes the space a little more interesting, wouldn't you agree?<br /><br />Grabbing these décor items from thrift shops and markets at bargain prices is also an added bonus, who wouldn't want current trend pieces for a fraction of the price?!<br /><br />That's it for today everyone.. So, Are you loving this trend?<br /><br />Please let me know your thoughts and/or if you have any ideas for future 'Inspiration Monday' posts - I'd love to hear them!

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello you!<br /><br />Welcome to my very first weekly post for my <a href="http://100happydays.com/" target="_blank">#100happydays</a> series!<br /><br />I'm so excited to be doing this post today! I've just loved looking over the past few days and thinking about the wonderful times I've had. So far, I haven't experienced much difficulty finding reasons to be happy. I hope that over time, I'll find it hard to find only one reason!<br /><br />I don't want to go on too much about what this project is as I covered it in my post from Monday. If you missed it and would like to know a little bit more information on the project, then I've included a link to the post <a href="http://www.roomwithabloom.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/can-you-be-happy-for-100-days-in-row.html" target="_blank">here!</a><br /><br />So, Lets get started!! <br /><br />Day 1: 14/10</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">G'day everyone! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Earlier this week, a lovely friend of mine came to me with an idea to make some new tug toys for her dogs to play with. She explained to me that the expensive toys she was buying just weren't holding up with all of the throwing, chewing and pulling. She found <a href="http://blog.bestbullysticks.com/dog-care-101-tip-169-doggy-d-i-y-pt-1-soap-toy/" target="_blank">this</a> tutorial that seemed to be an inexpensive solution to her problem. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Bek very generously allowed me to take pictures of her project so I could show you all how to make one too! </span></div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">For this DIY, you'll need:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Let's Begin!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Step 1: Cut your fabric into 20 pieces that measure 20" x 1". This measurement is for larger dogs. for smaller dogs, you can reduce the length and quantity, but not the width.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Please note that the 20 strips will allow you to make 1 toy- (As you can see, we cut much more than what was necessary for one toy with the intention to make a whole bunch!)</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Step 2: Lay your strips into two piles of 10</span><br />
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFfidfEKwcbmPLNAnxuV_nH8G0lUT46fefPClHimrjfizOV604_P-Z-4OffXiiPcBwSEfCXO1wQqqaR8WGe-j1HCF7Bz7LXGUrs29GnwHarVuo2O3E2AEw1MprwFqkIJS0chWqXCz4cHs4/s1600/10735652_1018054338212174_1138840166_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFfidfEKwcbmPLNAnxuV_nH8G0lUT46fefPClHimrjfizOV604_P-Z-4OffXiiPcBwSEfCXO1wQqqaR8WGe-j1HCF7Bz7LXGUrs29GnwHarVuo2O3E2AEw1MprwFqkIJS0chWqXCz4cHs4/s1600/10735652_1018054338212174_1138840166_n.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Step 3: Take one of the piles and twist it tightly, then do the exact same to the other pile. You might need a friends help to hold the twists so they stay tight!</span></div>
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><em>(Please excuse the lack of images here- all hands were in use!</em></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><em> I tried to make these instructions as obvious as possible, but if you're still having trouble understanding, I'm happy to try and further explain it in the comments!)</em></span><br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Step 4: Once you have your two twisted pieces, hold them together and twist the two pieces to form the toy. To secure the twists, tie a knot at each end of the toy- These knots should be tight to make sure they are "doggy proof"- there should be no need for sewing or gluing. </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4vkSj1irGbTJuiBHVNvlnwF3rdjY0tsvX3Sk91VEI2h99WmDsjgno208YVpgi8JqVBZEcyny5Vrm1aVz98hfawF8ErEiWxtOdaaEM8ylFra-gBBXFuS_w97tqaHPJSPtAJa9s6bokjoW7/s1600/10723465_1018054691545472_1001102079_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4vkSj1irGbTJuiBHVNvlnwF3rdjY0tsvX3Sk91VEI2h99WmDsjgno208YVpgi8JqVBZEcyny5Vrm1aVz98hfawF8ErEiWxtOdaaEM8ylFra-gBBXFuS_w97tqaHPJSPtAJa9s6bokjoW7/s1600/10723465_1018054691545472_1001102079_n.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Alternatively to steps 2, 3 & 4- you can take the 20 pieces and plat them, then tie a knot at each. Again, make sure you tie these knots tightly to assure they don't come undone! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Please let me know in the comments how you got on with making these little tug toys. We hope your fur babies enjoy playing with the new toys just as much as our pups did! </span></div>
