For administrative supplies.
For delicious Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee and Earnest Eats, with gratitude from Tom Hanks.
For a gorgeous Super Spinach Salad by Trader Joe’s, “with quinoa, carrots, cranberries, chickpeas, edamame, pumpkin seeds, and a carrot ginger miso dressing.” Delicious.
For beauty.
For snow boots.
Which did we buy?
For furniture.
For ideas (all of which were rejected. IKEA is not for thin line coveting snobs).
For pretty fuel.
And for breath.
It is now the day after. Our hearts are no longer broken. We have moved on.
How do you mend a broken heart?

It’s ok to hurt a bit. you know what I mean?
but I love that of picture of you and Gwendolyn in the sun.
and the salad.
take care
Hurting is so displeasing, and it rarely happens to me. But I caused it, so I deserve it; and I accept the consequences! I think, “How would Ayn Rand have handled this situation?” I like to hope that she also went shopping. :) xo
Sonja ,I hope you didn’t close your blog due to the trolls. I always enjoyed your food porn and the adorable pictures of Indie. The thing I enjoyed most was you being you. :)
Hear ye. Hear ye!!!
Agreed, I thought you were an amazing photographer and very insightful!
That said if it isn’t working for you I totally understand.
You are doing amazingly, Nicole. Moving on is so freaking hard, but I love the shopping element you have decided on..Gwendolyn looks like she knows exactly why she is shopping and being a comfort to her mummy, bless her. You will be ok, but please dont beat yourself up too much for all thats happened,ok? Thinking of you, Jen xo
I have beaten myself, rightfully so. There is no excuse for what I did. But I shall enter Monday (23 minutes from now) with grace and happiness. Your words, as always, are so pretty and appreciated. xo
Ugh, in my case I’d try to mend it by crying and eating, rather than trying to remedy the reason my heart is broken. Pathetic.
I’m so sorry you’re upset :( We all do things we later regret – I hope you can move on eventually and be happy again. I wish I had some glue, or failing that sticky tape, to put the pieces of your heart back together.

Perfect words from my perfect friend. Thank you.
Glad you are moving on a little bit. *Hugs*
Your hug is very welcome. Thank you:)
You will never be able to buy that which what your heart desires most.
Very powerful and true words. Thank you.
Nawww, my heart broke at the start of last year too. Being silly through my blog helped a lot. A bit of fun always helps and Gwendolyn looks like she knows how to make you smile. Sending you cyber love, hugs and wishes for beautiful new beginnings this year. xx
Thank you for the cyber love, Bex! So appreciated. I don’t love that your heart was broken, but I am so happy to know that someone else used their blog for comfort and growth. Hugs and happiness to you! :D
Woah you’re quick! Honestly, I don’t think shopping can mend anything, and not at all a broken heart. Mending a broken heart takes time and allowing to feel the pain and then let it go. This is how it works for me though. Shopping ist just a short-time treat that creates the illusion of comfort. But probably it works differently for you.
I have missed you!!! So much!!! So happy to have received your latest comments!!! :):):)
Your “probably it works differently for you” is so dead on accurate.
It does, indeed, work differently for me because I know that if I dwell on the issues, then I’ll downward spiral into mopiness and un-productivity. I do not have time for that. Although my loved ones come as the highest of priorities, my well being must come first. If my well being is not well, then I shall not have the capacity to fully love my loved ones. I am still very passionate on the inside for this person, but I must operate like a business. I will do everything within my abilities to earn him, but if I fail, then I must accept and move forward. So we shall see. Although I do not ‘hope,’ I must say that I do hope for him; and that tells me that he’s different. xo
Sincere regrets for your break up, Nicole. From experience, my advice is to allow yourself some time to grieve. Don’t try to mask the hurt or put on a brave face. You will get through the pain much faster. Godspeed!
Thank you:)
Breakups are always hard.
Hoping your heart heals quickly
Thank you, MG.
I haven’t ever felt this way for someone who mattered, so this is absolutely foreign territory.
Your fashionable care is very much loved. Thank you. xo
You will be just fine Nicole, you will arise again. Happy New Year!
Haha, I was actually contemplating whether to purchase that salad or not at TJ’s just an hour ago…I went for the veggie tempura rolls instead :P!
