Welcome, 2012

I'm not making any specific new year's resolutions for 2012. I think new year's resolutions can be harmful - who needs extra pressure/expectations?! Not me. Plus new year's resolutions are the reason I can no longer find a spare treadmill at the gym and have to arrive half an hour before my step class! Not cool. So, I'm not making new year's resolutions. I'm just going to take each day as it comes, and make the most of every day.

I have a good feeling about you, 2012.

What a wonderful world

A gorgeous video featuring footage from David Attenborough's documentaries, narrated by him singing "What a wonderful world". So gorgeous. Done by UK ad agency RKCR/Y&R.

This is a new day, this is a new day today.

A nice way to say "it's never too late".

"The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.
The second best time is today".

Midnight in Paris

This is on my weekend to do list, without a doubt.

Words from the wise

"Be yourself. Everyone else is taken".

- Oscar Wilde

Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.

I admit, I was in tears when I saw those red carpet speeches in London for the premiere of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2. It's quite stunning the journey of the Harry Potter films and especially the 3 leads - Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, & Daniel Radcliffe. They've literally grown up in front of a world wide audience, and spent their childhoods together on the Harry Potter set.

Check out this footage of the last days of filming on the Harry Potter set. Tear.

And some bloopers from the last film:
