Anyone Else But You

Isn't this just an awesome song. I heart Ellen Page and Michael Cera.

It totally makes me all happy inside.

Fashion, Friday and Fast Food

You know what's the most awesome thing about Fridays, they don't seem to drag, they always seem to be sunny and before you know it, you're switching off your computer and it's the weekend.

Today is a particularly lazy Friday for me. Not that I don't have work, I just don't feel like doing it. Also I was at the fabulous launch of AfriChic.com last night and after mingling with the oh-so-marvelous fashion crowd, you kinda don't want to be stuck looking at spreadsheets.

So tomorrow I start a detox. I really need to get back on track with my new eating plan and I'm hoping this will shock my system. Now if you have ever done a detox you know at the end of it, you lose a couple of kilos of water weight. That is almost enough reward for the agony you go through. No coffee. No sweet stuff. Headaches. Urgghhhh. It turns you into one of those zombies from Resident Evil. That's I'm doing it over the weekend. I can sleep between meals and not attack anyone who has coffee or chocolate.

If you're in Cape Town and going to the Met, have fun. Otherwise hope your weekend is spectacular bitches!

Awwww

We, Skinny Bitches, are totally obsessed with Fringe at the moment. So when anything Pacey-related comes along, we take note.

Look at this pic from the Golden Globes found via Fashionista.

Doesn't it make you just wanna say Awwww!

One Of Those Days

It's one of those days where no matter what, I'm feeling fat, irritated and tired.

Firstly it seemed like nothing in my wardrobe fit or looked good this morning, I messed up my eyeliner and only realised at work. Luckily I have some concealer in my draw so I could fix it up. A Skinny Bitch is always prepared.

Then I had to come to work and be tormented by Creepazoid (think weird person who stares at you for no reason and multiply it by 100, you're almost there).

I have work piling up and no motivation to do it.

All I want to do is get a latte and read fashion blogs.

I'm cheering up a bit 'cause tomorrow I'm attending a fashion launch and no one can be sad by the thought of that. Only problem is, have nothing fabulous to wear and my hair is doing its own thing.

Suppose nothing's going to change unless I stop being a grumpy gills and put on my big girl pants and deal with it.

Hope your day is a lot better.

Monday's Mantra

This week is about enjoying myself. Detox starts this weekend.
I believe Green Eyes will succeed in her detox; as long as I don't have suffer for it.
I'm addicted to cream cheese and The Beatles.
I wish pay day would come already.
I'm jealous of Kimora . Have you seen her closet?!
Soundtrack/Mantra for the week Money's Too Tight To Mention

In & Out

I saw Ashwini do this over on her blog Clearly Beautiful and thought I’d shamelessly copy it.

In

Sales. Lots of fabulous clothes and homeware items are so much cheaper. Need to hit the shops.

Scrambled eggs on toast. My ideal choice would be with white bread and creamy eggs but since I’m trying to make lifestyle changes, I’ll settle Low GI bread and no sauces.

My new maxi dress. Have yet to wear it but just looking at it in my wardrobe is enough to get me excited.

Blue eye shadow. It makes an all-black ensemble pop.

Out

Money. Seriously. I am all out of it. One of the drawbacks about getting paid early in December.

The scar on my forehead. I burnt my skin whilst trying to curl my hair. I now have a ugly scar that makeup cannot cover up. On the plus side, my hair looked great, nice and natural-looking waves.

Push Play not sending us new DVDs. I saw Hairspray is next on our list. How can you deprive me of that? I want to get my Zac Efron on.

Something to Make You Giggle

Have you ever received an email or have been IMing with something and you read something so funny it makes you want to burst out loud with laughter. But because you're at work you can't really laugh loudly so you do that silent laugh where your body keels over and you start shaking 'cause you're trying to keep it all in and then your eyes start watering and then suddenly you're the weird girl who has convulsions at work?

Yes? No? Just me then?!

Anyway, I was informed of a blog that made me laugh in the above fashion. It's called Sleep Talking Man and it consists of a wife blogging about her husband's night time chattering. There is more to it but I didn't want to bore you with that. Instead check out my favourite snippets that he has said while asleep.

"You can't be a pirate if you don't have a beard. I said so. MY boat, MY rules."

"Your mum's at the door again. Bury me. Bury me deep."

"Don't... Don't put the noodles and the dumplings together in the boat. They'll fight! The noodles are bullies. Poor dumplings."

"I haven't put on weight. Your eyes are fat."

"Vegetarians will be the first to go. That's my plan. Vegans haven't got a hope. 'I eat air, I'm so healthy...' Bollocks!"

"I've got a really terrible terrible feeling about this custard tart. Terrible."

"I don't want to watch. I want to get my hands dirty, all the way up to my shoulder. Filthy."

"Since when did my underwear look good on you? Take it off. Take it off your face."

Beautiful Blogger Award

Skinny Bitches were tagged by Miss E over at Little Lady for the Beautiful Blogger award.

What a great way to start a Monday! Thanks E. You is awesome!

Make sure you go and visit her blog for some doses of loveliness.

Now the criteria of the award is that we thank the giver and link back to her blog (as above) and then we list seven interesting things about ourselves.

Here goes:

1. Nothing gets me more motivated for gym than listening to ABBA on the way there.

2. My favourite episode of Friends is the one where the girls lose their apartment to the guys through Ross' trivia game.

3. I have learnt to bite my tongue and not let every little thing get to me. But it is an ongoing struggle.

4. I love love love Oreo McFlurrys.

5. It's one of my (more superficial) dreams to be on The Sartorialist.

6. I'm terrible with money.

7. I have always loved makeup but now I'm learning how to apply it properly. And I'm not sure how I survived without MAC.

Monday's Mantra

This week is financial planning week.
I believe I can do it!
I'm addicted to Fringe (especially Pacey Joshua Jackson)
I wish it was pay day already.
I'm jealous of people who can wear bikinis on the beach.
Soundtrack/Mantra for the Week I'm through excepting limits 'cause someone says they're so.

In my little office

It's week two back at the office and what I thought was going to be a tearful week has turned in to a calm, relaxed and poised one. Although, Im ot sure how poised one can be with a dodgy tan on her legs and still trying to get sand out from under her nails from a very windy shoot.

Preparations have been made at work to make my work life a little more bearable. And I've learnt a few things in the process. But instead of me babbling on like a twit i've summarised.

Things I've learnt

• that I have been doing my fair share of other people's work
• that i'm appreciated at work by my colleagues and clients
• that there is always a solution to something, no matter how bad it seems

Things that have changed

• i've moved in to my own little office (which sounds fancier than what it is, but basically I have more space in which to spread my crap around)
• we have 2 x new people on our team which is always a good thing, many hands make light work
• lunches will be taken and I will try leave before 6pm
• I can actually blog for a change

So all in all, im feeling positive about the year ahead which wasn't always the case. for a second there i had grand plans to travel, go oversee's and work, become a camp consellor....you know how it it, sometimes enough is enough, but if things work out the way they are supposed to, then I may be around here for another year.

I hope all you working bloggers have started the work year on a good note.
