i'd rather dance than talk to you.

More Monday feel-good stuff (other than cake, of course)? This video from Kings of Convenience. It really makes me smile. (found via various sources)

ten images of inspiration : let them eat cake.

I really don't like Mondays. Lately I have really been enjoying my weekends and Monday just means it's back to reality. But what better way to deal with a blah day than with pictures of cake? In my opinion, it's an instant cheer-up.

Sunday's Breakfast: Orange and Dark Chocolate Buttermilk Scones

Ever since I saw the recipe for these scones on Joy the Baker I knew I had to try them. I’ve never made or eaten scones before so I didn’t really know what to expect and made them anyway. They surely were a change from our usual breakfast but to be honest, I find them more suiting for tea just because they’re sooo rich. Even for me there was just too much butter involved for a breakfast. But the orange and dark chocolate combination tastes amazingly well so it was well worth the extra calories. ^^

See below some photos I took during the process and go here to find the recipe.

Have a good Sunday!
