Monthly Review: July 2014

Hey guys,

Another month is over. I feel like the older you get, the faster time passes by. Is that even possible?
Three days ago HITS already turned 2,5 years old - crazy.

July was the first month of the year where I took some time off and did not write new posts for about 8 days. It was lovely to have a little break but it's even more lovely to be back and write like a mad hatter.

Nonetheless July was filled with a few things such as designing the new logo. The drawing stayed the same but the font changed and I think HITS looks a lot fresher now. 

Let's talk about what else we did this month!

Artists featured on house in the sand:
Sound Of The Sirens

Alex Stockley

Florida Room

Stage Republic

Gabrielle Aplin

Venture

Thorge

Liam McClair

What I enjoyed doing for house in the sand:

- writing some cheesy thank you words

- sharing more Berlin love with you

- filming a new acoustic session with Thorge

Blogs I loved:
Have I told you about A Beautiful Mess yet? (oh the irony)
I have been a bit too busy to read a lot of blogs, but I'll give you a bigger list next month!

Items that made me happy:

- my camera (Canon EOS 70D)

- Sherlock DVDs (how good is this series?!)

- demo CDs

Highlights:
- of course, spending time in Berlin

(once again - thanks to all the wonderful people I've been with!)

- +100 000 page views within this month - WHAT?!

What I learned:
- it is possible to fall in love with a city
- you should never underestimate yourself

Songs I loved:
'Salvation' by Gabrielle Aplin

'If You're Really Mine' by Liam McClair

'Playing God' by Paramore

'Vultures' by John Mayer
