Welcome to my new Saturday series! Each weekend I will share my favourites from the previous week. Song, clothes, verse, movie, food, book, stores, whatever. If I have been loving it, I’ll share it here! Hope you guys enjoy! (See last week’s post HERE.)
Verse: Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. – Matthew 5:4. I’ve been feeling extra comforted this week.
Song: Okay my brother sent me this one, and it is just too good. Mind you, I love me some French rap (it’s a definite “guilty pleasure” of mine, if you can call it that, although I feel no remorse in the matter, so you know.) “Ma Meilleure” by La Fouine. It is just so catchy. Plus, it’s a really positive song. Also, French rap. I mean, come on. You’d have to be crazy to not find it absolutely incredible. Loosely translated, he sings, “you are the best thing that’s ever happened to me… The years go by, but I keep my best thing. The hours pass- tomorrow will be better.” :)
Book: I’m reading “Chasing Rainbows” by Kathleen Long right now. I only just started, but I’m loving it already. I read a review on Amazon that said this is a must-read for anyone who’s lost a parent. So. Needless to say, I’ve already cried really hard reading it, but I’m mustering on, and enjoying it, in some odd way. I love her writing and she really captures grief beautifully.
Hair Product: L’Oreal Evercreme Deep Nourishing Masque. You guys. This hair masque is exactly what I needed. My poor hair was lookin’ pretty sad. It was dry and just begging for moisture and some lovin’. Plus, I had teased it a bit too much recently. So, in comes this little guy. It was a free sample I got in the mail months ago, and I finally decided I should actually be using my free samples, instead of collecting them in my drawer for no apparent reason? Anybody else do this? No, just me? Well. So. Hair masques. I am a new fan.
Workout: The Tone It Up (surprised?) Bikini Strap workout. LOVE it. I felt so sore the next day, in all the right places. Do it three times through. You’ll thank me later! ;)

Check out Tryo – Toi Et Moi. It’s one of my faves. And thanks for introducing me to that song, really enjoyed it!
Ooh j’aime le chanson. Merci! :)

Wow, French rap is quite refreshing. I love it. I’m unwittingly swaying myself to the music now. I was just wondering if you read the very first comment I left when I first stumbled onto your blog? Coz I went back quite a few times to see if there was a reply. It is ok though, Katie. I left it during your difficult times so I’m sure you did not have the capacity to reply. =)
Haha french rap is my faaave. ;) Hmm which post did you leave the comment in? I’m sure it was just an oversight if I didn’t reply!!

I left a comment on the post when you were struggling with your mum’s illness and also when your mum left. Sorry if I’ve triggered any emotions. I feel a lot for cancer patients and their loved ones coz I lost somebody close to cancer too.
Aww yeah, that was a really rough time for me. Thanks for being so sweet and understanding! :)

Isn’t that verse just so good?! It’s been helping me a lot lately! And yay for our favourites! :)

That french rap song is really good. This rap fan approves.
I think my hair probably needs that masque. It is so dry and just sad looking and has been for a long time.
Haha glad you like the French rap song. It’s pretty much my fave ;)
