PHQ cards

PHQ Cards are postcards issued by the British Post Office depicting the designs of their commemorative stamps.

This is also a 'hard-to-get' theme in my collection. Many collectors that I know like to collect only the unused cards, but I like the most when the cards come with first day of issue postmarks. :)

Thanks to Joey from Norway for his help with these awesome cards! :)

Thanks to Gilly from UK for the lovely swap! 

Mandy sent me these fabulous Phq cards last year! Yippie! My favourites! 

This Thomas and friends PHQ card is actually the first card Mandy sent to me.. It's for my sons , their favourite cartoon. It was the start of an amazing friendship.. 3 years now.. :)

My sons received this Winnie the Pooh via postcrossing! :)

Colbie Caillat - TRY

Colbie Caillat is turning heads with her new video for all the right reasons. The song makes a powerful statement about unfair beauty standards by shunning hair and make-up.

She is absolutely stunning without make-up! 

Makes me proud that I never wear make-up except for lipstic.:p

"Try"

Oooh
Oooh

Put your make up on
Get your nails done
Curl your hair
Run the extra mile
Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?

Get your sexy on
Don't be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong, so they like you
Do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try
Yooou don't have to try

Oooh
Oooh

Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards
You don't have to choose, buy it all, so they like you
Do they like you?

Wait a second,
Why should you care, what they think of you
When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you?
Do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try
Yooou don't have to try

Noooo
Oooh

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try
You don't have to try

Take your make up off
Let your hair down
Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Don't you like you?
Cause I like you
