Weekend Highlights

The weekend started off on a fabulous note on Friday. It was one of our very special friend’s birthday and we joined her at Tiki Bar at Eden on the Bay for some cocktails.
Had some amazing cosmopolitans at that place. Nice casual vibe and right on the beach. Definitely would recommend. The lighting and light rain also gave it a nice touch!

On Saturday, I decided it was time to finally try out TRUTH in Green Point. I have heard so many fabulous things about the place and decided had to see what all the hype was about. TRUTH is located in the Prestwich Memorial off Somerset Road in Green Point. It’s not too big but has all the essentials for an awesome coffee shop. I had some great service, an excellent latte and a new spot to take friends too.


Afterwards I made a quick stop at the Friends with Jenny Open Day. I bought a great brown waist belt and a fab winter shrug. I cannot even tell you about it the shrug, it is so beautiful and versatile. Will definitely have to take pics and show you what it looks like and how it can be worn. Also don’t forget to check out FWJ’s new website. It’s great!

I’m not sure what came over me but on Sunday I offered to make lunch for my (large) family. I blame it on Julie & Julia. It made me think I could bring out my inner Nigella and cook. The main problem is my mom. She used to be a caterer, she can cook backwards and usually she prepares those amazing meals for Sunday lunch. My speciality is potato bake and those convenience meals from Woolworths.


In the end I opted for some chicken – ‘cause no one can mess up chicken – and then some pasta (a sweet potato and butternut lasagna). The pasta turned out really good, or my family are really nice at not hurting my feelings. Dessert was supplied by my mom because there was only so much I could accomplish. She made some great cupcakes and it’s even greater that she left the rest with me!

So, how was your weekend?

Monday's Mantra

This is a four day working week!

I wish I received a random bonus with my payslip.

Soundtrack/Mantra for the week Sweet Like Chocolate!

Photo Recap

It’s been forever since I actually blogged. Definitely not enjoying all this work, especially ‘cause it keeps me from the blogs and twitter. I’ve definitely missed reading your blogs and commenting.

Since I still have work piling up, I don’t really have time for a long post. What I can do is recap the past week. It’s been pretty amazing and what better way to do so than with the help of pictures.

Enjoy!

And have a lovely Wednesday!

Kelly Clarkson

As already mentioned the concert was pretty awesome. If you were a girl and showed up with a guy, he’d have either been gay, closeted or whipped. We choose our gays.


Here are some pics from Kelly. They’re not really good quality mostly ‘cause we were dancing and singing along too much but you can kinda make out it’s her.

St Patrick’s Day

Considering one half of Skinny Bitches is part Irish, we had to celebrate. So after the concert we headed to The Dubliner to celebrate. Single ladies, there have never been this many good looking guys in one room before. Wow! We didn’t know where to look. The place was packed though and as it was a school night we left after 1. Not sure how but I made it to gym the next morning. After that I was pretty fragile.

The Vibe Party

Thanks to our awesome friends The Wedding DJs, we were on the guest list for the 2oceansvibe party in Camps Bay. It was pretty awesome. Here’s Seth doing some Celine Dion. Blue Eyes was in heaven. I was in a not-as-happy place 

Here’s the boys doing their thing.



Skinny Bitches with some angel wings.



Here’s us with one half of the Wedding DJs.

Africhic Package

I was invited to the Africhic.com launch a while ago. It was lovely and I love the idea of buying clothes online. I decided to make my first purchase last week and I choose this dress by Michelle Ludek:

Yesterday it arrived. Am loving the packaging.



As soon as I have somewhere amazing to wear it too, I’ll take some pictures.
If you can, visit the site here. They have free delivery in SA and great service.

SA Flag Mirror Caps

I’ve seen these around on Minis everywhere and always wanted a pair. Then I found out, you didn’t need a Mini or had to pay for them. It’s a great (and free) initiative. Mini SA helped me out via Twitter and this morning I went to collect my pair. I ♥ them!

The Vibe Party - Camps Bay

On Friday night the Skinny Bitches hit the Vibe Party in Camps Bay compliments of our friends The Wedding DJ's. Somehow, by good fortune and taste in friends, we made it on to the guest list and there we were sipping wine, eating hors devours and being our fabulous selves. The people were pretty, the tunes (played by the very own Wedding DJ's) were hitting it and the Vibe was great. All in all a great party. Check out this link for some great pics.

Enjoy! we did :)

In celebration of...

Kelly Clarkson!

It's not often I can say this, but Kelly Clarkson was absolutely fantastic. We (Green Eyes, myself and the gays) headed to the Kelly Clarkson concert at Grandwest and we were not disappointed. She actually sounds better live than what she does on her albums. My only complaint about the concert, well 2 complaints is:

1. I wish us Skinny Bitches could have dressed her and done her make-up and hair. She wasn't wearing the most flattering of clothes and that hair....argg a nightmare. But we forgive her, she has been touring for a while so maybe she's just out of practise.
2. We would kick out all the unappreciative 'whipped boyfriends' who attended. They all just stood there. What a waste of space.

Otherwise, she was super good, so I've attached her music videa below. I was looking for Long Shot, but couldn't find it, so here's My Life Would Suck Without You instead. I recommend turning up the volume and singing out loud. Makes me feel better - even when i'm still at work.

Enjoy

Monday's Mantra

This week we're going to see Kelly Clarkson.
I believe chocolate will be the undoing of all my weight loss.
I’m addicted to House Season 3 – so exciting.
I wish my hair wasn’t doing its own thing.
I’m jealous of people who still have cash left in their bank accounts…what’s up with that?
Soundtrack/Mantra for the week Since You’ve been gone…(we’re really excited for the concert!)

Eclipse Movie Trailer

We're super excited about the upcoming movie, not so much about the trailer though!
Check out the YouTube trailer below and let us know what you think!

Things I've Realised...

I just need to hear the theme song from Flashdance and all I want to do is dance.

I really like being single but, I wouldn’t mind someone telling me I’m pretty every now and again and holding my hand at the movies.

Jennifer Aniston chooses the wrong movies.

Sometimes all you need is a little faith.

Drinking in the afternoon is awesome.

I’m going to start taking more risks.

Even though I struggle to get up in the morning, I am really starting to like gym.

I miss my number one gay best friend. Come to Cape Town please!

Whenever I’m feeling sad, fat, fugly and as if I have no direction, the opening scene of The Devil Wears Prada perks me right up. I’m so gonna be one of those women when I grow up.

I never want to hear the phrase “I have a large phallus.” It was overheard in the kitchen, repeated to me and now I am disturbed.

Popcorn with salt ‘n’ vinegar flavouring: delish. Inhaling salt ‘n’ vinegar flavoring by mistake: not as delish. In fact kinda painful.

Happy Thursday!
