-The song "Moon River" from Breakfast at Tiffany's was written especially for Audrey Hepburn, since she had no training as a singer. The vocals were written to be sung in only one octave. At a post-production meeting following a screening of the film, a studio executive, in reference to "Moon River," said, "Well, I think the first thing we can do is get rid of that stupid song." Audrey Hepburn stood up at the table and said, "Over my dead body!" The song stayed in the picture (source)

NEW COLOR FOR NEW YEAR

The New Year... New Color: HONEYSUCKLE

AIM TO INSPIRE

"I truly believe that everyone has something to offer. Trilingual in process, crazy about books, sports, music, photography and fashion (I'm aware of the incoherentness) and in love with life. I demand the enjoyment of people's personal expression and freedom. I'm doing my best at appreciating the small actions that put a smile on my face, even though I live in a country where opinions are overrated and dreams are sometimes limited. I get excited about the idea of good things coming to me, and personal benefits when I work hard. I understand success is never permanent and failure is never the end."

SOONER OR LATER--YOUR GONNA COME AROUND

...This semester's homework was a never ending...

My days were literally linked together by naps. 

However....

I stick to the cliche that working hard does pay off...that someone will notice. I had an amazing professor who took note of that. He'll never see this but I think I legit had a smile glued across my face for a week. (in case: Thank you again for the 100th time.)

 This reminded me that if you notice someone working hard, or doing something selfless or something that just surprises you...let them know. It 's the easiest thing to do...

Takes you one second: to give someone that sort of natural... feel.... good gifts...you don't realize how special that can  make them feel special.

Here are some natural goods...maybe it will help to remember yours when things get restless or exhausting.
