Under the Water

It's Thursday, and time to play along with A Snap, A Set and A Song!

A Snap: This week's theme is Water, and although, I'm pretty sure I've shared this picture before, it fitted so well with the theme that I thought I'd share it again. It was taken at Perth's aquarium, AQWA.

My Set reflects my fantasy side, and my fascination for mermaids. While these days, they are mostly depicted as vicious beasts, I hold onto the idea that mermaids are beautiful, enchanting women from the deep:

There were at least three songs I wanted to share on the water theme, but this one kept popping into my head through the week. The video has a pretty sad ending, but the tune is so catchy:

I just have to sneak in another video! This one has a totally different feel, but goes with the mermaid theme, and is the happiest I have ever seen Madonna look in a video:

Goodbye fizzy drink, hello water!

Last year around this time, I was heading the raw food revolution, and pretty much eating nothing but raw fruits and vegetables. It was great! I loved it, but I started to look a bit wasted away. So I went back to normal food and now I have beefed up again, and ...well, my hips don't lie! I'd like to lose a bit of this extra weight, particularly the tyre around the middle, so I'm going to choose just a few changes to my diet, which should help the cause.

This week's challenge is for me to stop drinking fizzy drinks, and get back to drinking water. We have a water dispenser, which is brilliant, but over Christmas I got a bit excited about fizzy grapefruit juice, apple juice and lemonade in general. Naughty, naughty, naughty!

I started drinking only water yesterday and am loving it already! So refreshing and cleansing, and got to be better for my teeth!

Anyone want to join me in conquering the fizzy?
