Although this is 99% a fashion blog, I have seriously digressed from my previous page tumbleweed, and feel that I should probably stick to just one for now. This is why I have decided to share my inspiration for Miss Gala Darling's Weekly Resolutions right here. iCiNG was one of the first blogs I discovered and began to read fanatically, and to this day it remains my favourite. I have recently felt I require direction in my life, and I think that outlining a few simple resolutions each week is the perfect way to start. So here it goes!
1. Read at night, rather than aimlessly browsing the internet for hours.
Not only am I wasting my money on eBay, but I also have three band new books I am dying to read! I recently bought the following:
- If on a Winter's Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino;
- The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde; and
- Middlemarch by George Eliot.
I have already read the latter two, but it was a long time ago. I feel incredibly out of touch with the literary world at the moment, and hope that I can recapture it!
2. Exercise one morning and two nights.
I really need to do this - I've been thinking about joining the gym, but really do not need another bill to pay. I have nothing against walking and running either, so the fresh outdoors should be able to serve me well. I may have to think about something else when it starts to cool down more for Winter, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. The one morning is a particular test - I'm not much of an early riser, and am interested to see how much energy I stand to gain by exercising before breakfast. I think tomorrow night (Tuesday), Wednesday morning and Thursday night will be perfect.
3. Tone down on eating crap.
Excuse the language, but I also really need to do this. I tell myself I don't have the time to eat right, but it's a total lie. No wonder I feel so stressed and lethargic. It's time to stop completely blaming work. Not sure what's going to happen to all the Easter chocolate though@
4. Submit my TAFE application form.
I've been excited about this Creative Writing course for weeks now, and even went to the effort of collecting a form from TAFE - now all I need to do is fill it out and return it!
5. Go thrifting!
It's been a while, and I miss it. I never have time during the week, and find myself doing nothing but sleeping on the weekend...but I'm getting excited for next weekend, and I'm definitely going to do some digging!
I have many other ideas, including keeping my room tidy (for once!), finally starting Gala's Wardrobe Taming (just in time for the change of season!) and to post at least once a day...but we'll take it slow for the first week, I think.
Wish me luck!

hello dearie,
don't feel bad - i'm going through the same thing as you. it's tough to stick to things unless it's a habit of sorts. i have been sleeping too much, and as a result, feeling extremely lazy. in efforts to get in touch with our health, justin and i have been going for walks in the park. it helps to have an exercise partner. besides, didn't alex just get her degree in physical education?
as for the creative writing class - i think it's perfect. i'm dying to get back in a classroom. a creative classroom!
there's a feel good song i've been listening to lately - it's a duet by ben harper & jack johnson "with my own two hands". it's very empowering and enlightening. it might encourage you in some way :^)
whatever the case, keep writing, because you're a bright girl.
love you xo.
