Every time I log in I ask myself if and how time has managed to suck me into a black hole. No idea how 5 days have come and gone, but here I am forcing myself to relay my week for the sake of. Not that I don’t enjoy it. Writing is one of the few things that connects my consciousness. The other lately, has been yoga, which is why Briohny could not have come at a better time.

Spending days cooped up indoors, even worse, in my room working on deadlines, has left me feeling deplete and antsy. My sunday routine is meant to be a sweaty afternoon class, a million miles away, yet so amazingly restorative it’s worth every mile I take. I found the exact opposite of that release the last 72 hours, until little Ms Contortionist came along.

Not only do I want to master the handstand so bad- the only other pose besides the headstand that scares the living crap out of me, most likely to do with the number of times i’ve injured myself in the past doing wild things*-I also want her loft..BAD(keep an eye out for those bad boy boots).

Watch the video and don’t fret.. you too can have nice underwear!

Frick, with words like ‘connecting my consciousness’, god only knows what lies beyond for me.

there’s a fun yoga pose called ‘wild thing’; yep, bonus trivia for you on this here sunday eve.

As in the royal ‘I’ went and bought myself a whole bunch of stuff to fill a gaping hole.. no not in my heart. I’ve been on a mission for over a year now to acquire quality essentials, that I love, for less than say the average mortgage, which is why most of these bad boys are vintage finds.

The End? Not quite.

The operative word is love not like, which is why i’m continuing to purge my wardrobe to swap, sell or bin every single ‘pfffff’ and ‘emmm’ item I own like its the day after tomorrow, and I urge everyone to do the same. Is it ever worth holding on to things that weigh you down?

Did you not get the memo? I’m an ordained preacher woman now. So don’t you go taking my words lightly, or else!

On another note this Vanity Fair piece is responsible for my peaking interest in both amateur diagnostics and zoo keeping.

I was tempted to do a “hey looky look at the stuff I got over Christmas” post but I figured why rush things, all my sh*t isn’t here yet- sadly folks I have a smug look on my face as I write this. Santa, you did good this year, real good son.

In spite of my abundant material wealth, I did learn a very valuable lesson don’t buy bling on ebay  if you want something bad, stop whining about it, in fact don’t breathe a word. Write it down, visualise it, and go make it happen. People- yes, i’m a people too- spend a whole lot of much time talking, talking, talking about their dream truck/tractor/hovercraft to any willing audience as if in search of approval. Unless you need someone’s help or advice with putting a life long dream into action; shhhhhhh!!

Also, there’s nothing wrong with dancing with yourself or kicking back Lykke style

Happy New Year, please stay safe and try not to regurgitate in my vicinity.

Being the only vegetarian in a room full of unapologetic carnivores has proven to be awkward as hell over the years.

While I vow to summon my own special posse of non-Turkey carvers next year, its another rendition of Oliver Twist for now. On the plus side I can wear any body gripping outfit of my liking. Speaking of which, let us all take a minute to salute the bedazzling outfit above; gosh dang!

Wishing you all a very mindful Christmas.x

Some pictures appeal to us for inexplicable reasons.

The pop of the chunky red knit, the feline printed pencil skirt , heck even the coca cola- I’ve naively said a little prayer in hopes that this was not a placement ad. Best of all, the ‘devil may care / lost in the moment’ look is what i’m looking to emulate.

I’ve never wanted a holiday as badly as I do right now folks, NEVER!

But since I’m going nowhere fast,I’m injecting TED talks into my brain instead. It actually hurts (in a gooey sort of way) to think just how many inspiring selfless people exist in this world. People credited with constructing solar lightbulbs, donating their kidneys to strangers, selling their crap, or just being awesome visionaries.

A few of my favorite things.

Had my very first Reiki sesh this morning, feeling a little like my chest has been cracked open. Apparently I am lacking in energy..but not in humour hehe.

Ok reiki master man did not say the latter. But I think he could sense it whilst enthusiastically waving his hands over my body #awkwardbutoohitfeelssogood

Snippets from my weekend. Correction, one day in my weekend.

I’ve been thinking almost daily about starting a photo blog. There must be something about the eve of a birthday to remind you of the things you want in life, but haven’t..”gotten round to doing”. Instead you’ve been caught up in ebay bidding wars, mounting insecurities and petty feuds with so-called friends.

Des’ree said it well. Life, oh life.

I’m happy to announce that thanks to the love of my life, Ebay, the search for the perfectly bombastic aviator winter jacket/coat/cover up has seized.You can betcha’ bottom dollar I’m counting down the estimated 7 to 10 days until I get my hands on the above replica.

Life is good. Life is shallow..but good my friends!

XOXO

as in the latest titillated episode of ‘How to Make it’, the show never that fails to humour me and fellow slum doggers.

I’m on the fast track to becoming one of those bloody bloggers that recycles sh*t. You know what I mean, fffound images that really don’t need, or in fact ever asked for a second home, sourced as inspiration of the day/week/season.

The truth is I’m not lacking in inspiration, but in energy (the duracell bunny kind). Divvying myself up into equal pieces; starting a new job -I’m officially allowed the bragging rights of homeworker, BOOYA- keeping the magazine alive, staying sane, attempting to date, makes the obvious remnant ‘Who.What.Blog?’

ps. The Award for the BESTEST lookbook that ever did live goes to ‘Scotch and Soda’ for their Maison Scotch campaign.

Who run the world, Girls!
