Hello hello. You are currently reading the very first post official post of our new segment: ♥ Du Jour.

Yes, we decided to liven this place up a little by introducing a segment where on Tuesday each week, we will blog about five things we are loving at the moment. They can be anything; food, movies, songs, websites. Simply anything that makes us smile; things we are thankful for. I’m sure it’ll help us appreciate the little things in life, and if anything, it’s something to look forward to every Tuesday!

Ok, so I’m going to start off. My ♥ Du Jour for this week:

1. Free Sundays. I no longer have tutor on Sundays, and Sunday is the only day my dad isn’t at work, so for the past year and a half, we haven’t been able to properly go out on a Sunday as a family. So, since I was now free, my mum got excited and decided we would go visit my cousins in Chatswood and have yum cha! I had a lot of fun; it made me realise how much I miss going out with my family on Sundays.

2. 'I’m Yours’- Jason Mraz. When I first heard this song, I was like “Wth, this is weird”, but after hearing it on TV so many times (it’s the commercial song for ‘Packed to the Rafters’, if you didn’t know), it’s sort of grown on me now, and I really like it. Judge for yourself:

3. Vegetarianism. I’ve been a vegetarian for a while now. It’s been rocky, my parents aren’t entirely happy with it, but I’m going strong! It’s a lot easier than I had anticipated. I’m not even craving meat!

4. wordle.net. There is something about this site that never ceases to amaze me. It’s simply a place where you give it a bunch of text and it makes a word cloud out of it, depending on the number of times you use the word. I find myself sitting there clicking ‘randomise’ over and over again, watching the words transform into various shapes and colours. Yes, I am easily amused.

5. Project Runway. I love this show. I am so glad Frock-Lady is out now, but that only means that I like every other person still in the competition! They’re all brilliant designers, its heart-breaking to see any of them go out.

And that ends our first ever ♥ Du Jour segment. Theresa will be doing hers next week!
