The Reading List - Getting your dream job, beautiful words and two artists you NEED to listen to.

You should DEFINITELY buy yourself some daffodils this week.  These have given me a week of happiness for a £1! 

Sometimes you just want to read an amazing article on the internet to stimulate your brain or to relax.  This is where The Reading List comes in.  I read so many articles during the week, I thought it was about time I shared them all with you!  Every Sunday I'll be publishing a new list for inspiration, laughs and motivation for you all to read.  I don't know what will be coming up but I do know that it'll be full of beautiful images, stories, tips and probably a few good rants too! Let me know via the comments, email and Twitter what you think of them - let's start a conversation! 

This week's Reading List is packed with some articles I saved from last year that I think are still amazing now and some new ones!  Hit one of the videos below for your reading music!

Zooey Deschanel & my bunny iPhone case. (and where to get your own!)

This morning I sat and watched the latest episode of New Girl with a stack of Ritz-Philidelphia sandwiches and found myself having a mini heart attack when my iPhone case was on the screen.  Held by Zooey Deschanel.   I got the iPhone case last spring after a trip to Chinatown made me long for one and I have never ever regretted it...  well apart from that time I accidentally poked myself in the eye with it at 2am..

Want your own iPhone 4 bunny case?   They are officially called 'Rabito' and are available on eBay for £2-£7 in all the colours of the rainbow.  I'm desperately trying not to buy a blue one at the moment..
