Recent Deets

You might all be wondering why you have not heard from me in  a while. Well my laptop was stolen,and insurance is taking a while to pay out. I miss you guys,and I miss my laptop. Yes it will be fantastic to have a new laptop, But I miss being able to update my Blog everyday. I was able to use my friends computer to let you guys in on the know.


I am officially no longer a teenager.I am 20!!!! That is right today is my birthday, I love having my birthday,it is one day that you can be spoilt and not feel guilty. Also another great thing is that  you are able to see who your true friends are. And it amazes me how the people you thought where your friends are the ones that don't wish you,and the people you would never have thought of are the ones that always wish you. My plans for today are shopping with m,y mother, we were going to go shopping this morning but she decided on doing it this afternoon. then it is a family dinner with my fam and my boyfriend. My sister is making me a chocolate log cake, yummy. Your birthday can be a cheat day right.

Other news,I am trying to gear up for next year. Student loan approval, I hope I get it, I really need to study, life will be so hard for me if I do not study and become what I want, for everything now you need a piece of paper. Please all hold thumbs for the next couple of days, and I promise I will inform if there is any news.

Love life

This department could not be any better, he treats me like a queen, he always wants to make me happy and he would buy the world for me if he could. I have never been so happy and never thought that being this happy was possible, I know that he would never let anything bad happen to me, he is very protective and even though I get a little irritated, I know he a=only means best.

How well, finally my mother and I get to go shopping yay, will tell you all about it.

TGIF


Todays Deets 
Its Friday, it seems like just yesterday that I was watching the clock, waiting to go home for the weekend. Today a lot is happening, it was Grandpa Tony's birthday, and then Matt's brothers are arriving later today. I have to finish the slide show that I have been working on, which kind of makes me stress a little, I hope I can get everything done, because I have to bake and cook tomorrow for the surprise birthday party. I also really want to get a pilates class in later today. Hold thumbs that I can get everything done.


Fashion.

So as you may or may not know yesterday I was not in a very fashionable mood, but today I am. I am wearing my floral skirt, with a black vest with a black military with pink wedge heels. I did my hair perfectly and my make up looks great. I must say that I think I did well today.  I love fashion and I cannot get enough. I have found a pair of leopard print high heels. I want them, I have fallen in love with them. they are R 160 rand from Mr Price.

GENERAL DEETS


Somebody tried to break into the office, while we were in it, it is unbelievable you can't even feel safe when you are in your own office. He was trying to break in with a crowbar. Other than that today was fine, I taught a cooking class this morning and then went to mosselbaai  to buy a birthday present for grandad.

I am feeling really hungry but I have no clue what I should eat. I don't want to eat something that is really fattening, but we will see how hungry I get. hehe. I am trying to get a head start on Christmas shopping, I have a present for my Mommy, little sister, big brother and almost brother in law, and my boyfriends dad.

Later tonight I have a gym class and then I need to get the brothers rooms ready, they arrive late tomorrow night. I also need to make sure that I have all the ingredients to make a birthday cake for my boyfriends grandpa.




Christmas is the time of year when everybody gets together and you can just feel the love and warmth from everybody.

FASHION


Today I didn't go all out, I straightened my hair and did my make-up, but I just threw on my tights and blue button up tunic with my white ed hardy jacket and black pumps. See nothing fancy, but I had one of those days where I would have loved to have just gone to gym and tidied the house. Tomorrow I will hopefully be in a more fashionable mood and will have something fabulous on.  At least my hair is nice and silky smooth and shiny.









LOVE LIFE


Love is great, on the 26th I will have been with him for 15 months, still going strong, I just don't know what to get him for Christmas, guys are so hard to shop for. Have you got any ideas? I could use all the help I can get.

Okay I gave into hunger and had a pasta salad, sooo good.

TIME FOR A NEW LOOK

I decided that it was time for a new look, not for me, but for the blog. It needed to be updated, and so I spent most of the morning doing exactly that.I love the new look, so I hope that you do to. I have always loved fashion and I wanted to try and portray that in the blog, but at the same time I want to stay true to myself. 


Today I am sporting a very comfortable pair of white cotton pants, which are very smart but boy are they comfy, paired with a black and white striped shirt and my black blazer. I have a string of pearls on and a pair of black Mary Janes on.


Speaking of fashion, have you seen all the latest trends? Stripes seem to be making a come back,sailor girls here we come. Another favorite has to be bright, bold nail colors. I am sporting a coral pink, which is Gorgeous. What are you sporting for the up coming summer. I have seen a very gorgeous leopard print bikini but I don't know if it something very summery. What are your thoughts?


 


This Saturday I am helping organize a surprise birthday party for my boyfriends grandfather. I have to finish the slide show that I am doing for him and get a menu together. I am usually so great at deciding what to make for dinner, but I haven't really done this sort of thing. I have found this amazing dessert though it is mini puffs stuffed with chocolate mousse or melted chocolate. yummmmm.


what is your favorite dessert. Mine is anything to do with chocolate. And I mean anything, I love chocolate, I once had a chicken fillet, with a chillie and chocolate sauce, and it was so delicious.

11 Things that make me a woman

What makes me a woman?

It is really easy to just take a quick peak down my blouse and declare, " Yes I am indeed female!" But what really makes a woman a woman. I have put together a list of the things I think make me a woman.

1) I Love fashion, so much, and yes some may say that, that doesn't make you a woman, well I say for me it does, I have never met a 100% straight guy that gets so excited over a pair of shoes or a G&B Bag like a girl does. A real woman will love to spend hours in a mall just shopping.



2) I love chocolate, anything chocolate. I think all girls just cannot resist that dark little piece of temptation. When we are down and just want to relax a piece of lint 80% dark chocolate is just what we need.



3) Once a month, the inner bitch in all of us will come out, and we become ratty, moody and super sensitive. At this stage nobody can predict what we will do, if we are going to burst into tears because Nemo lost his Dad, or if we are going to be in a bad mood all day because somebody finished all the milk and didn't replace it. But this is one of the things that make us woman, and if you cannot handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best.



4) We have the right to take half an hour or more if needed, to get ready, be it for work or for a dinner date. If you want your girlfriend or wife to look as good as she did when you first met her, let her take her time, Rome wasn't built in a day. I know I take 30 minutes and sometimes longer to get ready.



5) We are allowed more than one handbag, they are pretty and are more like a fashion accessory. Sometime we just want a small clutch bag and sometime we want big bag that could fit the kitchen sink in. But this is something that makes me and other girls a woman, if we used a moon bag, I think most guys would wonder what was wrong with us.

6) We love to be spoilt, buy us flowers, chocolates or just buy us dinner, we will be so happy, not because we are spoilt brats, but because we just love to know that we are cared about and loved, the little things count.



7) We work hard, and after a very long week, we would like to catch up with our television programs, we don't ask for much, but it would mean a lot if you wouldn't mock it or talk loudly over it.  We put up with a lot from men and all we ask is let us watch 90210 in peace. Bring us a cup of coffee. that would shock us.



8) After a crappy day at work we will still slave over a hot stove, to prepare a meal for the man we love, because we know that even though our day was not the best, your day was probably not any better, and instead of taking out all out anger on you, we sip on a glass of wine and serve you up the best grub in town.



9) We will choose what our man wants over what we want, if he really want to watch the latest action movie we will watch that with him over watching the latest romance.We are kind and sweet but do not take advantage of this, because we can be mean if we really want to be. And then you will have to do more than buy us chocolates and shoes to get forgiveness.

10) We are maternal, and will always want to look after something, so let us, if you are sick let us take care of you, let us make you lunch. Do not say that it is a bother. Being maternal is a womanly thing, it is why we have children. We also like to feel needed. So don't make us feel like we can't do anything, even if we just set the table or salt the chicken for the braai. It will make us feel like we did something right.

11) We love to look good, so let us exercise, you will like the results, so don't make us feel bad for being late for dinner. We want to exercise so let us. Be grateful that we do not look like shamoo. We will never be happy with our bodies so accept it and just say you are beautiful always.



We are woman, we are wonderful and will love with all our heart.

The Rush On Thursday

I don't quite know what to say. I had an amazing sleep, and great morning,but once I had sat down at my desk the day just took a turn for the worst, the Universe is defiantly testing me and I keep failing. I know that you can't expect everything to go your way, but also don't judge others let thee be judged.  Fashion, movies and books are what keep be sane in my moments of pure frustration. Exercise seems to be another way for me to let of steam, what I really need now is a punching bag lol. I had never been an obese person, just chubby, comfort eating was my  problem, and I never accepted it. This year I started to come into my own, eating less and it was only two months ago that I become serious about myself, I started exercising regularly and eating right, I stopped bread and had rice, salads etc for lunch and kept the carbs for special occasions, like anniversary and dinner parties, but then the next day I so intense cardio. I feel better about myself and I am more confident, I am not at my goal yet, I still want to tone up, but I can look at myself in the mirror and not want to look away.
Self esteem is very important, many woman think that to be sexy you have to dress a certain way, when in fact it is the way you hold yourself, and how confident you are. Yes the way you dress helps, but then if you have confidence  you are to wear that red dress than a person that has no confidence and just want to hide in the corner. To make it in life you have to have confidence. I have only started having confidence in myself and it is not always easy when you have two sisters that are beautiful and have never had to work to be skinny. But that will just make me appreciate my body more.

Wishful Wednesday

Okay so yesterday's post was pathetic, but that matched the day I was having, I had such a krappy day, words cannot describe how krap it was. Today however is doing much better, I have started applying for bursaries and I feel fabulous, I am doing Pilates later today, and exercise always makes me feel great. Then I get to tuck up and watch a movie in bed and have left overs for dinner, if I want food.

My brother is down later this week, I see him on Saturday because I have to work on Friday. But that is cool, at least I get to see him. Then the following week I am busy, I have to finish my boyfriends grandfathers birthday present and help organize his birthday party and then my boyfriends brothers are down for a while which is really cool, this month seems be getting better and better, I am really looking forward to celebrating my 20th birthday and to be moving to Pretoria next year yay, to study and live on my own, the living alone part scares me a bit, but at the same time I am excited about the adventure.

If I could have one wish it would to be able to pay for my University, is there no body who wants to sponsor me hehe. what do yo wish for?

Thoughts for Tuesday

Yay, I tried on a pair of jeans this morning, that I couldn't fit into comfortably the last time, and they slipped on. Yes I still want to loose a bit more and tone up but damn it feels good to be able to say, ( I AM LOOSING WEIGHT!). On other news my older brother is coming down this weekend and then the following week my almost brother in laws are coming down. Busy busy, and this month is my birthday month. just 28 days till I turn 20 whoop whoop. But now the hard part starts, what to do for my birthday, have a big party or just something small with a few close friends and family.

the search for financial aid is still an ongoing process and it  makes me so sad and I just want to give up all hope. Nobody is behind me, I am in this all alone but when I do succeed I will feel very proud of myself.
