Hey peeps! Well since my blog is usually viewed by the ladies, I decided to start some self improvement posts for everyone! Dun worry I would still have snippets of "what is going on in my life" posts :)
I have been reading up on books from the National Library ... and I took some notes and pics of different topics! I will start a series of mini courses on Flower Arrangements, Exercise, Diet and Fashion :) Hope everyone would enjoy the mini courses lotz lotz and learn something!
Today's post shall be on the series of Flower Arrangements, from the small book "101 Flower Arrangements: Stylish Home Ideas" by Julie Savill. All her ideas are very contemporary and suitable for homes or offices, they are extremely easy to attempt too!

Verse of the day:
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.
Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful."
~1 Peter 3: 3-5~
