every friday night we braiiiii.



Looking back on it the time i spent living in South Africa when i was eighteen was probably the craziest, most spectacular time of my life. I wish i appreciated it more at the time, instead of missing the rain, English accents, and semi skimmed milk in a plastic bottle as appose to a carton. Yeah that bothered me, (i started drinking black tea).  I can't stop thinking about it all at the moment, family, friends, ex boyfriends, cinnabons, hunters dry, the best steak on the planet, cheapest movie tickets on earth, edgars make up counters, moyo sundown cocktails, peppersteak pies, the fact that Woolworth's is the equivalent to M&S (contrast  much?) gahh, yeah you get it. I MISS IT. What happens now? Only time will tell.

not afraid to go there.


I can't seem to get over winter just yet, have watched home alone and the holiday this week, missing big jumpers, welly's and snow storms. Don't let me depress you, but we have about four months till Christmas is in our sights again. ha. I'll try and contain my excitement, and just listen to fairytale of new york with my headphones on.

blind faith




Was feeling very uninspired by the blogging world last week so took alittle break and focused my computer time on trashy american teen dramas. So thought i should contribute this week, since the split nearly two weeks ago i've been so torn between what and how i want to spend my savings.. Do i bite the bullet and get my ass in gear with some driving lessons (pun not intended) which i have been putting on the back burner for years now. Do the grown up thing and pay off some debts.. Head aboard and see the things i keep dreaming about. Adult decisions are the absolute worst. I think i may just put off making a decision till June. Had a absolute cracking night on saturday. Why i let myself have shots when i no i have a eleven hour shift the next day i do not no. Still getting haunted by All Saints ads. Lemon and ginger tea, new tea staple.

Tucked up on the sofa cover in a thick blanket, knocking back some Corona. I'm really into lazying in the sun but a day in front of the computer. Trialling the internet for images, clothes, flights and tunes. Nothing better! I got myself a promotion this week ;) having been watching re-runs of friends, studying and on the hunt for the perfect summer nail colour. status: still searching.

hey, there's glitter in the galaxy.


Just like the rest of the world i was glued to my screen watching the wedding yesterday. Why it hadn't occurred to me sooner that heading to London for this would have been an epic idea i don't no. Diamond jubilee i'm there fo shaw! Love when everyone comes together and get's some good old British pride on the go. I couldn't be prouder. In other news, i went to dinner with the girls. Stuffed my face with prawns at La Tasca, booked tickets for The Killers gig in Hyde park. Gahhhhh mega excited. Now i'm stuck at home trying to get diploma work done.

Love how i've ended my easter weekend pigging out on leftover bbq food and organizing killers tickets with the best friends. I've been at work for pretty much all of it, but have found time to squeeze in handfuls of mini eggs and espresso shots to keep me going. For those of you that got to spend your four day's on a beach catching the rays. I'am more then jealous. But shall forgive. Planning on heading to the city on wednesday for some wine and tapas with the girls. Then me Porter are indulging in everything classically British on friday afternoon. I shall be stuck at work during the royal wedding. Which i no some people couldn't give to hoots about, but i'm all for the royals and British history. Soak it up people. Hope everyone's well and finding the time to enjoy this bloody lovely april.

Just a quickie, been super busy recently. Planning easter egg hunts, ticking things off my many to do lists, making training plans, daring to head to topshop, working in the sun, getting lee evans tickets, and eating cinnamon bun bites, the usual. A trip to the city is desperately needed, i want to stock up on high waisted shorts, and fridge tops and those lacy white dresses we live in every summer.
I'am hopefully taking a break from my over flowing work schedule on wednesday to head to Woodlands, for some water slide fun. Oh the kid in me.
