Weekly Recap

This past week has been a very busy one!

On Saturday was our regular book club meeting.
This week the theme was 80s.
I had alot of fun with my hair crimper and blue eyeshadow & wish I had taken a close up photograph.
This was the overall result:

On Sunday the girls & I went to watch Dark Shadows and had sushi for lunch. I do love Johnny Depp in these roles, however I felt that a part of the storyline was so random & a bit over the top, but otherwise it was entertaining enough for a day out.

On Tuesday I went to my friend AC to watch Vampire Diaries, I do so enjoy that series!

Wednesday was a girls night out movie at Ster Kinekor and we watched The Lucky One with Zac Efron. I expected to cry more seeing as it was a Nicholas Sparks adaptation, but it was a good movie. Taylor Schilling is an actress I have not seen before, but I must be honest and say that she really irritated me for some reason. I can't put my finger on it, but I didn't enjoy her acting too much.
The love scene with Zac though, that man's body is delicious and his eyes - oh I could get lost in them. I have always had a weakness for dark hair and blue eyes!

On Thursday we had dinner with a supplier at Mythos and I tried a steak topped with feta cheese and olives. Simply delicious.

Friday was a frightfully dreadful day at work, making me happier that I at least sent in my Top Billing audition papers. That night I did some home decorating and put up my new wall art vinyl stickers in my bedroom as well as revamped my fridge:

It was harder than expected, & instead of going to the gym, I curled up on the couch with my kitties and watched quite a few episodes of Secret Circle. I am loving this series too!

Saturday I had breakfast with my friend at Design Quarter and then went on a huge window shopping spree. I didn't buy anything, but then got home and regretted it.

I even cooked a meal for myself (we should be getting snow) I cooked roast chicken last week and this week was a delicious fish and salad. Who knew I had it in me.

Lately after my body has decided to reject everything I usually eat I am having to become more innovative and it seems cooking from scratch is the way to do it.

Today I went back to the shops and bought a new pillow - I have not slept well these past 2 weeks and I am hoping that apart from stress, that it is because of my pillow.

I also bought a gorgeous photo frame which I can now fill with photos and put up on my wall.

I bought a totally unnecessary mug which says "faking It" My life motto is 

If you don't Feel it, Fake it

So you can understand why  I bought it! :-)
I also finally invested in a spaghetti spoon, I make too much mess trying to dish spaghetti up with a fork.

I am now off to the gym. Bleh.

While the rest of you are sitting on your couch snuggling, think of idiotic me and shake your head as you ask what on earth I was thinking.

What am I doing?

I have started gym again and after the initial 1st session back, I am enjoying it again
I am spending less money when I go out
Now I spend money from the comfort of my chair - look at these gorgeous wall vinyl stickers. After getting a great deal on my favourite shopping partner site, Groupon, I am waiting for my voucher and then have to pick 2.
I love this damask for above my black wrought iron bed - colour silver as my curtains are purple and my lampshade is a silver/grey:

I want this to spruce up my fridge a bit, it is looking very tired - colour charcoal, my kitchen is pink

As an option instead of the damask, have these words above my bed, as I have always loved quotes.

Damask or Quote - which one?

The beauty of these stickers, is you wet them with some water, put them on your wall. Wet them again and slide them off and discard. Easy! 

Visit www.fanastick.co.za to view their full range.

I signed up for my very 1st GlossyBox and will receive it in June. Hope I get some nice goodies to try out.

I have finished as far as I can go on Fringe Season 4 and I am dying to get my hands on more.

I am waiting for the final 3 episodes of Vampire Diaries S3, anybody have them yet?

Watching The Vow today with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams, bound to be a tear-jerker. I have been dying to watch this movie since I saw the trailer a few weeks back.

I also cannot wait to watch The Lucky One based on the Nicholas Sparks novel, watch this steamy trailer & tell me you are not wanting to be in her place:

Spending Sunday with my mom for Mothers Day and I hope she likes her present. I am also hoping to get her other present in time - a canvas mounted picture from my brothers wedding - I am going to use the 1st pic for mom and I think I will do the family picture for me:

Buying the 2nd Hunger Games book - I am ashamed to say I have't a clue what it is called, I just know I need it. My attention is not really being held by books at the moment and The Hunger Games is the 1st book in a while that I really enjoyed.

Buying another pack of white chocolate Tim Tams - I adore white chocolate and when I found the white chocolate Tim Tams in the shop I did a little "eeeek" and then proceeded to dance a happy dance then snapped a pic of the Tim Tams to send to Tee. Turns out she had been saving the surprise for my birthday. Oops!

What have you been up to?
