Website Spotlight: whatsinyourbedroom.blogspot.co.uk

whatsinyourbedroom.blogspot.co.uk is a blog showing a series of portraits of people in their bedrooms.

To me a bedroom is a very secretive and personal place and I rarely let people into mine. So to see other people's is interesting. You can pick up on certain quirks and how it reflects their personality. Whether or not they are an organised messy person or just plain messy...

Bedrooms are a person's 'safe place'. We let our defenses down in bedrooms for example we sleep in them because we are comfortable and relaxed. We don't feel threatened or vulnerable. This is because we associate our bedrooms as a place of solitude and privacy. We can be ourselves in them. Inviting someone into a bedroom, as I mentioned beforehand, is making yourself vulnerable, and allowing them to explore a personal space is like having them explore your mind.

whatsinyourbedroom brings out the creative side in me as I analyse the layout, how they've decorated the room, whether or not there is a particular colour scheme, the small intricate details etc. It could also help others who are decorating there room to come up with ideas. So yes I am in love with this blog and I hope you will be too.

Peace out readers!

The Search for a Bike

In the last month I have decided that by September this year I will have to start cycling around to get to and from my lectures for university. This is because, whilst the house we are going to rent is not horrifically far, it is over a half hour walk alone, and I just don't feel like carrying piles of books for that long when I have to get an essay done (curse me for taking english literature). So I've been researching and researching, looking through women's bike blogs as I would like a traditional classic/dutch bike. And now I've got it down to two.
It's either going to be:

-The Pashley Poppy (£450)

or

-The Bobbin Brownie (£350)

My heart is set on a Pashley, but I have the feeling with money being tight at the moment, and in the future, that I'll have to go with a Bobbin Brownie. It's not a huge downer, the Bobbin Brownie is a gorgeous bike, plus it does have more gears which is helpful as Winchester is rather hilly.
