Dear Internets,

My friends and I had a running joke response to the question "what should I get my boyfriend for his birthday?". For a while noone asked because the suggestion would always be: "How about a cactus?", simply because it was one of the more bizzare gift ideas we'd heard of. If I got a cactus from my J I'd want it to have legs like these! It's cute, easy to manage and seems to fit perfectly in the suburban jungle OR outer space


I don't have a green thumb....If it dies, will I feel like I've killed and little space man?

Dear Internets,

I know it's the end of a month in the middle of the year but you won't even care when you see this:

[ oscar-diaz ]

It's an ink calender! The scientist nerd in me screams in delight and the creative quirkyness "oooh"s and "ahhhh"s. This calender uses capillary motion so that as each day passes, ink moves through the numbers colouring it . At the end of the week all the numbers are coloured and you get a new colour ink and blank numbers. No more remembering to cross the boxes off as each day passes and no more wonder what the date is. The best part is you have an entire month to fall in love with a new colour.

If I had space on my walls, I would so want this there in all it's numberful glory

p.s. I got my very first blog award! Thanks handmade romance

I suppose it's customery to pass on the flattery?

Dear Internets,

I NEVER thought I'd say this but Emma Watson looks foxy. Maybe i just want to steal her Teen vogue fashion shoot and all clothes involved. Above: I want that skirt!

Oh that dress & that room! *swoon*

[all pics found @ Teen Vogue]

I wish I could look this cute!

Did you find anything you would like to steal?

Dear Internets,

That's me up there is the shirt dress and gumboots, on the side of the road, jumping as though my life depended on it. Amused  people drove past and tooted their car horns.It was mildly embarassing but I like this photo, lollipop in mouth and all.

Speaking of which, did you know chuppachup came out with mango? It's delicious!

Ok, now back to adventure photos.

Meet Russell the rhino telling sarahteaa a secret

The last photo is my absolute favourtie and may become my next banner if I don't get bored of it. What do you think?

Now as much as I love talking about myself, let me introduce you to cacacake.Don't be fooled by the simplicity of her banner or the small numbers in items are listed. It is the creative brain child of two french friends who love baking cake and collecting vintage trinkets from flea markets and making necklaces out of them.

p.s. face the rifle away if to "violence agansint animals" your say NO! :)

Dear Internets,

I miss your comments, is my feed still working [is this mike still on?] Anway, How was your weekend? Mine was fantastic and adventerous and great!...all that is except for the very last hours of sunday which involved me getting stranded in the middle of nowhere with no place to stay. I downed my sorrows in memories of good times over the last 2 days, steaming hot and delicious chinese food which came in those asian paper take away boxes, and the finale of Master chef!

It's one restless sleep later and I got my accomodation with profuse apology by the place that stranded me.
Tonight I will make rhubarb cobbler from smitten kitchen's recipe and hope that the last shreds of annoyance melts away with the first morcels of yum!

More road trip pics soon!

Dear Internets,

*drool* If this thing didn't take a rocket scientist to make it, I would be cooking/supercooling like there was no tomorrow. I spied it on yesterday's episode of Masterchef Australia and I have to say, that show gives me culinery cravings/mood swings.It's hell ugly but oh so delicious looking at the same time, don't you think? Look at that gooey caramel escaping it's delicious chocolate mousse and biscuit prison. Yum!

This is death by chocolate cake strata
It's a cookie base
covered in a layer of mousse
covered in a layer of salted caramel,
covered in a layer of jaconde (which is a fun word to say),
covered in another layer of creamy chocolate mousse,
covered in a layer of apple tatin,
covered in another layer of jacond (still fun to say),
covered in mousse and
dusted with chocolate.
coated in fresh creamery butter*

or something along those lines, who can keep up!

Dear Internets,

I'm not a hat person but that doesn't stop me from appreciating the things adorned by those who are, like Milla Jovovich. She's oh so pretty but often missed in the "who is the hottest female celebrity" conversation in favour of Angelina Jolie or someone like that. I'll take Milla's looks over Angelinas I think.

Karl Lagerfeld and Maison Michel is responsible for this photo shoot of the hip in fashionable head gear. Though they are not wearable in a daily practical sense ( as I don't think it would be ethical for me to wear a bunny on my head), I really love it all. Sadly I lack the finesse required to pull this off without looking like a hobo. Perhaps i'll stick with fabric flowers, beanies with floppy bunny ears, feathers and bejeweled headbands.

How about you?

ARE YOU A HAT PERSON?

wonders why it's art when famous people wear mini top hats but insanity when I do

Dear Internets,

Crazy hat party, hell yeah! Work mates + company team building events = fun!

jealous ladies?

I was going for effortless flapper which is an amusing paradox for me because I over think everything :) The drinks were free flowing, mainly onto table tops and people's shirts and pointing fingers of blame [it on the boogie] were abundant.

It's going to be very odd to return to my hermit life style.

Dear Internets,

I happen to work in an industry filled with beautiful skinny people with great personalities to boot. Hanging out with them has definately made me feel like "the ugly chick" or "the fat chick" just because of my own stupid insecurities.Today I invite you to my reverse pity party. I have hot shoes, a pretty dress and my focus should be on other things like enjoying the moment. I took stupid photos and tomorrow I'll feel as good in sneakers and jeans.

And some dodgy hotel room photos just for you. I love my dress and shoes! I love them!

Inviting you to love yourself

Dear Internets,

Ok so did you know about this & just not tell me? There is a place that has harnessed the power of childish fun things I clearly don't need but really really want

I've seen so many of these but lack the skill to make it.

everyone loves a good mixtape. Happy birthday walkman!

I'm always the girl laughing @ my male friends

who get their bags searched at the airport. Wow, I
only just realised how shady my friends must seem, lol!
Usally this results in a tap on the shoulder followed by
 the words "excuse me mam, could you please step
to the side and read this explanatory [laminated]
card  while I test your bags [for bomb residue]"

They would make great resin moulds too I bet!

All items spotted @ FRED life you'll have fun there!

My birthday isn't coming up but since when is it against the law to buy someone you don't know, a gift for absolutely no reason.

and before I forget,

Happy weekend!
