FEE-ARN-SAY:

My love … I don’t know what I would do without you in my life

ME:

Oh I do ....

WITHOUT ME IN YOUR LIFE YOU WOULD:

- have to wade through weeks worth of dirty rods and t-shirts on the floor, just to get from the bed to the bathroom. 

- eat oysters, snails, ox tongue and other revolting delicacies all the time.

- become a work-a-holic

- stick funny things up your nose

- watch far too much tv resulting in square eyes and tubbi-ness 

- never have experienced the magic that is the APPLE MAC BOOK PRO

- never have to rush out for lucozade

- never pay that much attention to advertising

- still have gravel in the garden instead of the little eco-park of happiness

- never have to cut the weeds, or take out the rubbish, or clean the cat box, or wash your hands, or floss your teeth

- never give away your smoothie stickers

- never have meet the editor of Scope Magazine

- never have to buy tampons, popcorn or decaf coffee ever again

- never have to buy your fuses instead of stealing them from me 

AND … you would never have made me the happiest girl in the world!

Found this seriously beautiful dessert table here. I just love the rosette wall at the back. Have played around trying to make some of them myself over the last couple of months but they never really come out too kief. It always look like I’ve tried really hard but failed really badly. Anyone know how to make them, and make them well?

Saw the most beautiful chalk board at Loads of Living yesterday. Of course it was priced ridiculously, but it was seriously rad and would have looked even radder at the entrance to my kitchen. And then if I had it, I could dream about being skilled enough to do cool things on it like Dana Tanamachi from New York does ... all by hand

The designer-wanna-be in me seriously loves it when packaging is done properly.

Cupcake Crazeeeee

Now here’s something that’s bound to brighten up any Monday.

Unless, of course, you’re trying to watch what you eat after an over-indulgent weekend … but who doesn’t LOVE cupcakes. 

Especially when they look this nom nom.

And trust me, they taste pretty dam amazing too. We had some at work last week, and we've got a batch of Winne The Pooh inspired goodies arriving on Wednesday for a birthday celebration.

Call Tamara - from Durban North - if you need to impress at a dinner party or if you just want to scoff your face full of deliciousness

I’ve just figured out what this sad and heavy feeling in my heart is – every Monday morning as I drive to work. It’s home-sickness.

After a mellow 2 days of chilling, braaing and shopping with friends, lunching with old colleagues, visiting family and just pottering around the house like a happily married pensioner duo … driving away from home on a Monday morning makes me home sick.

So today’s task: get rid of this feeling.

Madame Zingara Rocks The Socks Off

We took my sis out for her 30th birthday last night - starting with cocktails at the Oyster Box (because she's never been: shock, horror, i know), and then stumbled on over to the outrageously fun Madame Zingara. We had sucha  fabulous evening and were so impressed. The staff were all dressed up and in character; loud and in your face, the food was scrumptious, the drinks were super strong, and my personal favourite was the little store that greeted me upon entrance. Fancy masks, feather bands, stick-on mustaches, giant tiaras, willy warmers and a whole lot more goodies that are perfect for our dress up draw at home. 

Needless to say, I swiped that little card of ours. I swiped it good and proper.

I was, however, reluctant to buying a muff for R60.

Not sure if there are any shows still available, but you should try.
