E is for Exercise

Well, what else could come after D for Diet?

I've been pinning on my Exercise and Motivation board over on Pinterest recently, and found a nice hoard of motivational quotes, images and exercises to try. I thought I'd share a few with you today. It also gives me the chance to tell you how much I love Pinterest too - it has really decreased the length of my bookmarks list, and made it loads easier to keep track of all my useful internet finds!

This one links back to what I was saying yesterday about abandoning a healthy diet if I make a slip up - I'm really trying to remember this quote, as it completely sums up my problem.

See my Pinterest board for more great pins, and don't forget to link me to your own Pinterest boards if you'd like to share.

Y is for...Yellow

I am really loving anything yellow at the moment. Maybe that's because it reminds me of that hot ball in the sky that used to come out in the summertime, or maybe it's just because it is such a happy, warm colour to look at! Either way, I've scoured the net and made a Pinterest board entirely dedicated to happy, sunny yellow. I hope it makes you smile too!

C is for...Cameras

Today's topic just had to be cameras. There was no other option. Cameras are like shoes - a girl can never have too many. I can't anyway. So I thought I'd share a selection of cute or unusual cameras I've spotted whilst trawling the net.

A good place to find film cameras is lomography.com as they have loads of designs and colour options too. I particularly like the leopard print Diana mini, and the 'I love you' Fisheye no.2:

Another good place to discover new cameras and useful photography-related gear is the awesome photojojo.com. I've placed a couple of orders in the past and you get great service, fast shipping from the USA to UK and a free toy dinosaur with every package! What more could you want? The Holga twin lens with colour flash (and smiley face) is one of my faves.

If you don't mind ordering from Asia, eBay has some fab bargains on 35mm toy cameras too. I bought a purple Holga from Hong Kong and it arrived within a week! The Holga meow camera would be a fun addition to a camera collection, as it makes actual cat sounds when you press the shutter!!

Some other finds on eBay include another cat camera (although this one is digital), and the Pentax NB1000 Nanoblock camera - what could possibly be better than a 14MP digital camera with basically a Lego board attached to the front?! You can build anything you want on it! Lego Bench Monday would look great on there!

If factory produced cameras are not for you, how about making your own? You can actually build your own Holga from a DIY kit, or glue together your own paper pinhole camera!
