Month: November 2012

Ruby’s Secrets

I have not done one of these posts in over a year and to be honest I have quite a stack of secrets lying in my inbox.  It started out as an idea I got from PostSecret and was supposed to be a monthly thing…but life kinda got in the way.  But…I’m back and I want to try to actually stick to doing this monthly…if only to post the backlog that resides in my inbox:P

If you’d like to take part in my monthly feature, please e-mail your secret to: rubyletters@gmail.com and make the subject of the mail ‘Ruby’s secrets’.  Anonymity is guaranteed but if it would make you feel better you can create an anonymous e-mail address and send it from there.  I look forward to hearing from you guys:)

So here are this month’s secrets:)

Dear Secret Santa

So this year I decided to take part in the blogger Secret Santa initiated by @thestilettoMum and I promise that I deserve a really lovely Christmas gift because I’ve been insanely good and it’s been a rather tough year…everyone deserves a pick me up:)  I’ve attached a list of guidelines to help you find the perfect Ruby friendly gift:)

  • I ❤ blades….knives, swords, short swords…they make me happy:)
  • My current colour obsessions involve turquoise, french carnival blue, mint and white.
  • I adore candles (as long as they aren’t flowery scented…that gives me headaches)
  • I’m a bit of a stationery whore O_o
  • Big big fan of red wine and coffee
  • Nail polish is always a big favourite:) I have a wide variety of colours and I change colours almost as often as I change clothes:)
  • Shoes and handbags = Achilles heel
  • I have a soft spot for unique clocks..I own quite a few of these already
  • I’m obsessed with strange and unique necklaces and bracelets

Well, I hope this helps you in your Secret Santa Shopping Quest:)

Love
Ruby

Dear Readers

You guys remember how this works right?  I start and finish a few sentences……you then complete the same sentences in the comments section:)

Apologies……. should always be acknowledged.  Whether they are accepted or not is irrelevant.
Sometimes…..not even peanut butter straight from the jar can soothe my troubles away.
A night out….when you are least in the mood for it is sometimes exactly what you need:)
Friends…..come in all shapes and forms and the real ones are life savers.
Talking….about something that bothers you doesn’t always make it better.
I hate...that double standards seems to be the way most people choose to live.
Worrying…about loved ones can make you physically ill.
Laughing…is truly the best medicine.
Stress…should be illegal.
Love…who you are, if you don’t…change it.
A hug…can cure a lot of things
Life….is not always unicorns, rainbows and roses.  But it’s how you choose to deal with the thorns that shows your real character.

Now it’s your turn:)
