Top Ten Places I HAVE to Visit in my Lifetime

1. Hawaii - no explanation needed. Plus I think Kelly Slater resides there. Hmmm the stalking begins.

2. Brazil - my best friend is there plus I wanna see that big ass Jesus statue.

3. Greece - there is such beauty in their ruins.

4. New Zealand - I have become infatuated with visiting, and maybe immigrating, there.

5. Mauritius - it's a glorified beach. Must go.

6. Antarctica - for a summer lover, I'm equally surprised by this. But there's the northern lights, and the magnificent icebergs. I'm also planning on smuggling back a polar bear.

7. Bali - no reason needed.

8. Australia - apparently like SA, but not.

9. Miami - I love Khloe and Kourtney hit Miami :P

10. Revisit New York - it's New York New York. You will forever be changed by the beauty.

Accounting for the Week

So I finally found some amazing gladiator flats and heels *excited squeel* But they didn't have the heels in my size. WTF! No worries, we'll try order them for you ma'm. Sigh of relief. Ok so can I have the left shoe for the flats? I have the right. The left looks like it but it's the opposite, not like an evil twin or anything though. What, you don't have it? How do you not have it? Ok so I'll order it? There's a chance I won't get them? NOOOOOOOOOOOO! FML. So now I'm playing the waiting game for my beautiful shoes. Times two.

When High School Musical 3 premiered on TV, I'm not gonna lie, I rushed home to watch it. I was even a little excited *shock horror* I was forced to watch the first two with the kids I aupaired so I was curious. It was good, had some good dancing/singing scenes. Vannessa Hudgens, aka Gabby, is still a slut though for putting up nude pics of herself. Plus she has a hairy snatch.

I am very keen to visit Brazil next year to visit my best friend. Well I was keen, till I saw the very expensive airline tickets. So I'm reconsidering my student status and reconsidering other travel options. Greece is up there on my places to go. I watched (read fast forward through all the singing) Mamma Mia and it just confirmed what a beautiful place it is that I have to visit!

I found out that if it's too hot inside a concert venue, I will give up watching the bands to go outside and talk to people. Unless it's my ultimate fave band. But that will never happen in Little Durban.

This weekend contains work and a hopefully interesting 21st. The theme : fun but classy. Interesting.

GG Addiction

Gossip Girl has to be one of the best (although unrealistic) shows on television these days. When it first came out, I couldn't get over the fact that none of them looked like they were in high school. Especially with the clothes they wear! But I soon got hooked on their storyline.
B has to be my fave character. Behind all that bitchiness is a heart of gold. And it's all for Chuck. It's amazing the lengths she is going to to prove she loves him. The relationship between her and the housekeeper Dorodo (probably spelling that wrong) is also very sweet, she comforts Blair in tough times.
But Jenny's story must be the most far-fetched and annoying stories! Her constant drama is too much. Wouldn't mind if she wasn't in the next season.




You know you love me

Amazing Collaboration

I came across the fantastic cover of Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page on the American Marie Claire. Ellen Page, star of Juno, looks absolutely fantastic with hair and makeup done! I loved these pics so much had to post them! They were doing a photoshoot for their upcoming movie, Whip It. If it has these two in it, I'm sure it's gonna be a great film.

Epiphany

I used to think that gym was the Devil reincarnated. Until I joined a gym. I actually enjoy this so-called gyming thing. I'm not gonna lie and say I'm a buff babe for doing so but I would hope I'm at least fit. Until I found out that I'm doing all the wrong things. For the past few months.
When I joined my gym I had an orientation where a trainer (who has a HUGE upper body, tiny legs and absolutely NO strength) showed me how all the machines worked and what I should be doing. I also asked other friends I knew that gymed what they did while they were there.
And while having quite an enlightening conversation with my best friend and our boyfriends (we all surprisingly enjoy gym) I found out I am doing all the wrong exercises. How lovely! And here I thought I was doing great. Wrong.
So now I'm basically starting from scratch. I'm getting a work out programme and everything.
I foresee a lot of pain in the week ahead...
Any gym bunnies out there?

Nope that is Not it

When buying hair dye, 99% of the time the colour on the box is NOT the colour your hair is after dying. Unless it's black. Black never fails to come out, well, black. But having dark brown hair, with a tinge of red which I have no idea where it came from, I decided to go lighter with the approaching summer. Once checking out the hideously high salon prices, I decided to do it myself at home. Yeah that didn't work out so well.
After leaving it in for longer than prescribed, and anxiously rinsing it out, my hair colour looked the same. Without the red. Now it just looks brown. And the tips look black. Why my hair goes black everytime I dye it is beyond me! But it happens.
Noting this lack of much-wanted change, I am starting to understand why salons charge such high prices. They actually know how to do this dying thing right!

News, Shoes and Reviews

So despite her frighteningly small frame, Nicole Richie, has popped out another baby. Nicole and her man Joel Madden have had a son, Sparrow James Midnight. After naming their daughter Harlow I had no doubt they would come up with a ridiculous name for their second child! Sparrow Midnight does have some kind of superhero ring to it though...

I am jones'ing for a pair of Gladiator heels!! When Gladiators first came out, I thought of them as monstrosities. Now I will do anything for a pair! I am determined to find some!

This week my man and I watched the new Johnny Depp movie, Public Enemies. First off, Johnny for two hours! Who wouldn't enjoy that? Plus he's lost all the horrid hair and makeup, aka his Jack Sparrow days although he can pull off eyeliner. A movie full of gunfire with a couple wisecracks from Johnny and it made a very good movie. Little long though. Won't admit it to my boyfriend but I started falling asleep in the end. Now don't assume it's of the movie, I always fall alsleep!

Off to find some heels. Where oh where can you be?

Good Advice Travels

While perusing through the Glamour mag, I came across some VERY interesting advice I thought I would share.

"Treat your man like a horse: feed him well and ride him hard."

Yes very wise words indeed. A work colleague had given the writer that advice. Can you imagine the awkward silence following that comment?

Good advice travels. One person will share it with another, who will in turn pass it on to someone else. There are some cliches, some outrageous, and some hilarious (like the previously mentioned one). I suppose the most overused one is Be Yourself. Well done for the creativity.

What would your best advice be?

Favoured Moment of the Week

This week hasn't been the most pleasant of weeks. My car decided to stop working all together, but it took a sneaky approach to this. It would start ok, then just when I got a safe distance from home, it would cut out. And would do so many times until I reached my destination, very haggard and frustrated.

But in this dilemma, I got to drive my mother's Nissan Sani, and what a wonderful ride that was! I drive a VERY small car but my heart belongs to big cars. I love nothing more than driving around, bigger and higher than everyone else. Maybe it's because I'm short, but man it's fun!

My dream car is a Range Rover, white or black. But the cost of petrol is making me loose faith in it.

I WILL own a big car at some stage in my life, and this week I got to live out my dream in between all the drama.
