10 SECOND RULE REVISITED

We have had this discussion countless times, is it 10 seconds, is it 5 seconds if no one sees it while its on the floor do those seconds count, you get the idea.
Each and every person has different criteria for the 10 second rule, I mean 5 second rule I mean.. refer back to the above. Everyone has there funny little hygiene obsessions (not that im judging coz hygiene is a very serious matter). The 10 second rules and regulations, names and variations have sparked many a dirty look, tisk tisk sounds even bar fights, maybe, so here it is, in official chalk board green and white. So next time you drop food and pretend like no one saw you when you picked it up again but someone did and they give you crap about it, print this out and stick it on their forehead. I give you the official government issue 10 second rule rules. Officially.

NICE PACKAGE

Close your mouth and stop gawking.

1 thing you must know about me, Im pretty open to the whole new experiences extravaganza. Im keen to try it once but if that one time doesn't work out chances are its over, forever. This has been the case with me and beer my entire life (even though boyfriend makes me have just one sip of every beer he ever has, 'just incase you change your mind.'). It smells funny, it tastes funny and it makes its drinkers smell funny and no amount of 'just incase sips' is going to change that. I have stood firm behind my beer swerving for a solid 24 years and 5 months, and had absolutely no intention of being swayed, until now. 

I am not afraid to admit that I am radically shallow when it comes to packaging, I don't care what is under the wrapper as long as it is the sexiest of all the damn wrappers on the shelf, well then I will have that one (The route behind my woolworths obsession). So from this day foreword I am officially a beer drinker, not because it tastes good (because it doesn't) but because if beer can look this damn sexy well then I wanna get involved. You can too, here .

*I have seen this beer at the bottle store on Marriot road next to market  im not sure where else you can get hold of it but that is a start.

Chic Chick

These little birds never fail to make me hose myself, I love their funny names and cute fat bodies, George is my favorite I highly recommend you visit little doodles and have a look at the rest of these funny little guys, they are freaking hilarious I'm actually laughing at george and his iced gem as i write this.

DUSI DAY

This morning I dragged my but out of bed at 5 to go down and watch the start of the Hansa Powerade Dusi, (the most ridiculously hard race on the planet in my book). Every year I go I am amazed by both the number and the type of people doing the race there is everyone there form every age category and walk of life, which kind of makes me feel shit for not doing it myself but someone has to stand on the banks and shout and scream like a lunatic, or it would be no fun for the competitor because well who likes doing a race if there is no one to see you actually doing it. Anyway I was there, it was amazing some poor oaks in A batch broke clean in half at the bottom of Earnie Pierce wier which made me drizz a little because, living with a paddler, I know how much hard work and training goes into the preparation. I would like to make a special good luck to my favorite afrikaans person in the world, Richelle Montgomery and her Lovely man Mark Usher I hope you guys have an amazing race and I will see you at the finish (Ill be the one yelling and screaming on the bank) x

SIGH

I have never ever wanted a biscuit tin more badly in my whole life. Sanna Annukka's beautiful folk inspired graphics are so so beautiful they make me sigh and pine and generally want to be a better person (ok maybe a bit far but she is ridiculously talented). I am in love with these tins Marks and Spencer's biscuits (top) and Paulig Coffee (bottom). sigh.

FINALLY

Due to my Capetonian heritage I must admit that in my life I have become accustomed to a certain level of fantastic in the food department, something that I often miss in Durbs (no offense). Imagine my complete freak out on discovering Col'Caccio Pizzeria at gateway. Now most Durbanites will not understand why I am making such a big deal over a lil pizzera this because you have not tasted possibly the best pizza on earth so you are none the wiser (this is not your fault). So I implore you to ditch work immediately get in your car and go to Col'Caccio and realise the dream that is the best pizza ever, maybe even in the world. Otherwise you can just perve over their menu, below... which will eventually result in you ditching work and going there anyway, no one on earth can resist. yum.

OH GOSH

It would appear that christmas has come 350 days early this year. 

When this erm...package arrived in my inbox today I literally had to go and stand outside the office, stop hyperventilating and take a personal moment. The fact that Giorgio Armani took it upon himself to personally see my dreams become a reality is an incredible honor (I didn't even realise he knew who is was). Enjoy.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

I have decided to start loading a thought of the day If you have one you feel particularly strongly about please dont hesitate to mail it to me x.

SPILT MILK

I have recently discovered Kate Stanton's gorgeous range of bikinis. They come in a range of gorgeous styles and flirty fabrics that will make any girl feel booty-licious as all hell! They are also ridiculously well priced at around R350. The range is available in 'The Wardrobe' Kloof Street Cape town as well as Roseanne and Pushkin in Cape Town and Durbs. You can also order directly from Kate see here for details. 

I DONT HAVE R2 BUT HERE IS AN R8

Seriously, this is not a joke, If thought that you had to work hard all your life counting and saving every cent you had in order to cruise the street in your dream mobile YOU ARE WRONG!

 

Apparently this guy also gave away his house but that is yet to be confirmed.

ONE SIZE FITS ALL

Have you seen the latest V Magazine? It's called the size issue and it is rocking my world. How exciting that magazines such as V are finally embracing the fact that not everyone has the will power to live on Goji berries and Cigarettes! I also love that the more normal looking girl looks 100 times hotter, more gorgeous and fab than goji berry ciggie eater on the left. click here for more.

 

WAITING SUCKS

I am so excited I could actually POP! Today I ordered the most devastatingly beautiful prints from none other than Kareena Zerefos. 

Unique and refreshing in its simplicity, her work often captures young children in moments of endearing expression as they discover their imaginary worlds. Mysterious giants and fragile creatures populate these shadowy worlds; like the curious owl, who simply says ‘hello’, or the deer alone in the silent woods. -www.kareenazerefos.com


I am going to go and set up camp by my post box and wait, bye.
