A Bright Start

Can you beleive it's the 1 December 2010 on Wednesday!?! Where has the time gone? I certainly don't know at all! It seems like this year has flown by! 

This week i need to get a few more Christmas goodies and more Christmas cards - totally mis-judged the amount i needed! LoL!

It's a busy week ahead for me - lots to do and places to be at! I am sure it'll all work out and everything will be done! I'm just going to have to 'pace' myslef. . .

Chilly Monday

Happy Monday everyone! Hope it's not too b l u e! Mine seems to be ok thus far! Fab ride this morning - nip in the air, but fresh and fab! 

Weekend was busy! Friday night i did some Christmas shopping at Canal Walk, finishing off with the most delicious salad - butternut, beetroot, caramilised pears and a whole lot of other goodies! :-) Saturday was an ealry start - riding 7am followed by hair styling (which i might say was a RIP OFF!) and off to the wedding...  The wedding was super - Kerry looked seriously beautiful with a touch of black lace to her dress - which was so her! Danced the night away! Great food, vibe and people! Sunday i headed off to tea and something sweet with Stu Bug - carrot cake was delicious! Then went to watch the world cup qualifier class ~ show jumping in Hout Bay ~ always blows me away! Completely! Chilled, late afternoon at home finished off with a pizza! I ate SO much crap this weekend - it's not even a joke! So this week i am on starvation for sure! 

Busy week ahead for me - lots to accomplish! Should be a good one!

I came across this lovely little shop and think you should take a look at it. It's called Quirky Me

It has some fantastic goodies and i think the mirrors are lovely and this bread board is wonderful! 

Isn't this just so lovely? Check out some more designs here

a trip in need to READERS WAREHOUSE

I am itching to get my feet into Readers warehouse and hoping it's going to be soon! I have spotted a few books i'd like to buy as Christmas gifts so need to get those and also would like a new book to read! Unfortunately i am a 'sucker' when it comes to going there - i could just buy; no in fact i do,  buy all the books that look fab too me and then can't read them fast enough!! * sigh *

I am nearly done with Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. My view on this book; well um? I think i expected something a little different to what it turned out to be. Nevertheless it was entertaining and i have just about finished it! *Impressive for me, if i can say so myself * 
 Next book in the pipeline: 
~ A Year on Ladybug Farm - Donna Ball ~ 

 

I got my ELLE mag :-)

Taken from the internet
to be honest this is the first time i think i have ever purchased the ELLE magazine and i am so looking forward to checking it out and to see what it offers! Got the sunnies too - have to take a closer look at them - packaging makes them look different! Gotta check them out later! Exciting :-)

ALERT: name change

I've decided to change my blog name to lOOpBug stYle - no particular reason as such or meaning behind it but thought it's a little more appropriate than the old name. Afterall this is now my blog - my personal thoughts, updates, etc - not anyone else!

Blissful weekend ......

My weekend was blissful and rather relaxing! Kitchen tea was fab - with the most yummiest spread of things on display to eat! mmmm Nom Nom :-) Saw someone from school days - who i haven't seen in 9 years! No jokes! 9 years! Was nice to see her and she looks just the same! 

Otherwise relaxed, did some sewing and got my new pattern and fabrics - which is all ready for tonights class! Am super stoked - sewing is going on into Decemeber and starting later, in March next year! So i'll be moving along swiftly with my new dress pattern! YaY! 

Didn't get to the movies - time just flys by - don't know where it goes to! 

On a lighter note - the new ELLE Magazine is out for December and guess what.... ? You score a nice pair of these sunnies!!! I am so on my way to the shops to get it!

1st Wedding Anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary! I ask myself: "Where has the year gone?" and i still can't answer the question?! 

Time has flown by - it's being an amazing year (yet again). We have been so lucky to accomplish so much and go on a few holidays, including Pumba Game Reserve - where we have just arrived back from. It was an incredible, amazing experience that word's simply cannot explain! It was truly an experience that will never ever be forgotten! I took over 500 photos on my camera and chow took a few too - so there will be lots to follow! 

The reserve can be put into this perspective: 

Reserve = "plush"
Rooms = AMAZING! Romantic and just simply p e r f e c t!!! 
Food = delicious and excellent! 
Service = superb! Really, really superb 
Atmosphere = relaxed, content and chilling
Game drives = amazing (where can you have hot chocolate with giraffes - serioulsy??) 
Company = fantastic :-) 

I'll be sharing some things what we did and saw on the reserve later this week and will upload a photo or 2 :-) 

Watch this space for more on Pumba and the amazing experiences we had!
