Dream Date

Okay girls lets get creative, what is your dream date? Is it going to a restaurant or is it a home cooked meal with candles everywhere?  You tell me?

My dream date is to first spend the day at the beach with my man, tanning and having a pic-nic, then we will go home and he will run me a bubbly bath, with candles in the bathroom, pour me a glass of rose with my favorite music.

Then he would have started making my favorite meal, sweet and sour pork served with Chinese noodles, with pineapples chicken. Dessert would be chocolate mousse and strawberries with dark chocolate. We would sit and watch the sun set together sipping wine and just talking about all things good. If I happen to fall asleep he will carry me to bed and kiss my forehead and tuck me in.

I am such a romantic girl and I love the little things, be it a flower on my pillow when I wake up, or knowing exactly how I love my coffee and making it so that when I get out of the shower, I have a nice hot cup of coffee. Or even just knowing that I am going through I rough time and understanding. I think every guy should know what his girlfriend likes and they should try to do those little things as often as possible, it makes us girls feel loved and special and every guy should try to achieve those things

after the weekend

So I went home, I saw, I concurred and I left, I miss my mummy and daddy. But I will be back home next weekend. YAY :-)  I love spending time with my mother she is the best. Yesterday I got a bit to much sun, and now I am burnt horribly. But luckily I shall go brown pretty soon. I am stressing my but off about next year. I am emailing magazines and companies to see of anybody does sponsorships, I need to find something and soon. Other than that life is good, I will soon be getting my first gel overlay on my nails done, yay, and later today I am going shopping yay.

My boyfriend decided to stay home today, so I am all alone and miss him, but you have to give your partner space sometimes, room to breath and to miss you.  So that means that I am without him today and then when I get home he is going out with his friend, LOL well at least he will really miss me hey.

So finally I am getting to go to the mall, I can now get all the little things that I need. I want to look at a new bikini and get my toiletries, as silly as some people may think toiletries are, they are an essential thing for every girl to have.

Thoughful Tuesdays

Today is a cold gray day, but not even the weather can put me down. I have my heels on and I feel great. I woke up and straightened my hair and did my do. Do you just get those days when you feel like dresses smart. Today was one of those days, Sunday was a day that I really just didn't know what to wear, and thankfully all we did was stay at the house and did nothing.

So as many of you have noticed, the days are getting longer and the nights are slightly warmer, we can actually  wear shorts and skirts without leggings. This all adds up to the conclusion that Spring is in the air. With any new season comes a new fashion trend. After much observation, I have come to the conclusion that this season girls are rocking the florals and bright colours.

Remember to always dress for your body type, I have made the mistake of wearing a maxi dress and I a very short person to I looked a little weird, always make sure it looks great on before you buy it, don't just guess, you have to try a piece of clothing on.

Another craze that had it the South Coast like a storm is bikini's, in all cuts and colours. Leopard print is still quite popular, and shocking pink and other luminous colours are making their return, back on the shelves once more. But there is nothing worse than somebody wearing a bright coloured bikini and they are white white, almost luminous themselves. Ladies, if you cannot find the time to lye out in the sun, then get a self tanner, if you shop around you can find an inexpensive one, at Dischem I found one for R39.99, you don't have to use it all the time, but it will give you the confidence to walk out in you new shocking pink Bikini and let you tan safely and gradually get a tan of your own.

But don't choose a skimpy bikini if you know that you still have a little wobble to get rid off, do exercises, thinking that it will go away on its own won't help, you need to eat right and exercise. I have been exercising and eating right, I do not have bread, for lunch it is brown rice or a healthy pasta salad. (http://www.cookinglight.com/food/recipe-finder/pasta-salad-recipes) and for dinner just cut down your portions. Throughout the day it is very important to drink lots of water, 2 liters is recommended but anything from 1 liter and up is great :-)

Mondays ....

Mondays are those days of the week that everybody dreads, it is a day that has to come no matter what, and they usually go by very fast. Once Monday is over than everybody starts to count down the days till Friday. For me this Friday I go back home, my older sister is coming down from Joburg till Tuesday, so I am going to be away from my lovie, but just for three days, I am sure he can live without me for three days. I want to tan and go to the beach and hopefully go to Knysna and then on Tuesday I come back to my matty.

Today I went into a nail shop, I really want to make my nails look better, I was about to buy some acrylic nails but they didn't accept cards, so I had to leave it. But I will get my nails looking great once more.Tomorrow my mother might be in town and then we are going shopping and I really need it, to just be able to be alone with my mummy for a morning, so here is holding thumbs that it happens.

So after I started doing the Kim Kardashian fit in your jeans by Friday Dvd, I cannot get enough.I absolutely love exercising, and I would do it everyday if I can, but four times a weeks is my minimum, I would like to exercise everyday. Summer is just around the corner and we all want to look good, I know it works cause I have already seen a difference, in the three days that I have done, if I can do this until the summer holidays,I will no longer be too shy to step out in my bikini.

If we work together then we can get to the perfect body and fit into a great, cute little bikini.

Frustrating Fridays

Ahhh watching the clock.. tick tick tock. it seems like time is going slowly today. It is the kind of day that makes me wish that I had stayed at home, I had the worst night sleep and NEED a good cup of coffee , you know, the type of coffee that just the scent of those coffee beans, is enough to make all your worries go away. Oh and I also need a good shopping day, without a time limit would also be nice. lol saying with a credit limit is called " day dreaming". Whose with me? talking about whose with me, why have I got no followers ;-( are my blogs boring, I get lots of page views so why don't you join me and we can have some fun.

Last night  my boyfriend and I kind of had a fight. So there were tears on my side and shouting from his. But like any loving couple we kissed and made up. Sometimes it is a good talk about the things that are bothering us and lets us work on them.

What is everybody's plans for the weekend? I have none, well Saturday night we are going to the Octoberfest ( Beerfest) but other than that,I just want to relax and enjoy myself, perhaps pamper myself. I am going to start uploading videos on youtube so please go watch them, my channel is thejennmatty.I know it weird but who cares right :-)

I wanted to introduce you to a furry member of my family, her name is Dutches and she is so Adorable.

 Okay well that's all from me for now, I promise to take lots of pictures.

Glamed up

Hey all,

So I promised I would post pictures of my room, sorry that they weren't posted yesterday, I was so busy, first my mummy popped in and I went for coffee with her.

This coffee shop is so amazing they make the best coffee and I just love the way they make these little images in the foam. did you know that they do this with a tooth pick. I once had a swan in my foam, how amazing. Me and my mother didn't do that much but the time together was very special. After fetching my little sister from the airport I went back to work. After a long day of quoting and costings what I needed was a nice glass of wine.


So here are the pictures that I promised

This is the side of the room with the bed and dressing table. I am so pleased with the new bedroom layout. 

This is the side of the bedroom with the window seat and the wardrobe, I know it is a pathetic wardrobe but it does the job just fine.  Yes that is my exercise ball which I do use.

 For work today I am wearing a pencil skirt and a blue and white striped shirt with black Mary Janes. Today is a very slow day, it is only 10:48 and I finish at 17:00. oh well, tomorrow is Friday at least I can look forward to that.
What I to know know from all you beautiful people out there, what colour nail vanish are you sporting this week. Should I be creative or should I just go for the plain French tips?  I have no clue and I really want to make my nails look fantastic, they need some pampering.

I really love this, But I wouldn't know where to get it...

 

 

There is defiantly something about this that catches my eye, but I don't know what it is.

And of course the ever fabulous French Manicure

Summer loving

Summer is in the air, and it couldn't have come sooner. I love sitting in the sun soaking up the wonderful sunlight, reading a latest book or sipping a glass of rose. What do you like to do when the sun is shining? I'm looking forward to being able to dive into the crystal clear ocean and tan under the golden sun.

  

Last night I made the most amazing Chinese Pork Noodles. i was so delicious.I have also started Kim Kardashians fit into your jeans by Friday is and wow your legs burn the next day, but it's a good feeling. during the week it is not that easy, so I make the weekend exercise time, but I want to try do some yoga before bed, and when summer really hits us I want to try walk in the mornings.


If any of you were wondering why I have been so quiet, it is merely because I have been so busy that I haven't even had time to think. I was accepted into University and I will be moving to Pretoria next year. Into my first flat. I am really excited, and a little nervous about being so far away from home, but I suppose it will be good for me, to be on my own and start my own life. I had been worrying about how I was going to pay for University, and finally my loving man find a solution, Student loans are actually a great solution, you only have to pay the interest off while you are studying, and it is something like R160 a month, which is not bad at all, and then I shall pay of the lump sum after I have finished studying. I am doing a BA in languages and then I am doing my honors in Journalism. My dream is to write for a magazine like cosmopolitan or Elle. So keep your eyes out for my name in about 7 years time, hopefully at least

 



This past weekend I changed our whole bedroom around and it looks gorgeous, I shall post pictures tomorrow of what it looks like. It is such a nice feeling to walk into a clean room, I love waking up now. I also dug into the bathroom and made it sparkle. I am finally feeling happy about life and everything that my future has to offer.
