”There comes a time in every woman’s life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne.” Bette Davis

I returned to work this week (thankfully on Wednesday so it's a short week, not sure I would have been able to handle a full week) and let me tell you doing "nothing" is underrated.  No alarm clock waking me up at crazy hours and startling me to death.  No pencil skirts to outline the expanding post Christmas waist line.  No high heels for a whole month.  And did I mention how amazing my skin looked after I came back from Bali?  I haven't even needed to wear tinted moisturiser.

I've been putting off the furniture shopping and and renovating (who knew that picking a shade of paint could be so frustrating).  I think I know what I want, I'm just having trouble convincing people that a white linen couch is a good idea.  Sometimes I wish I wasn't so stubborn and unsure about what I like, but then again indecisive people drive me crazy, so I'll take what I can get.

Summer forgot us early this week and disappeared for a few days but it looks like it's coming back for the weekend... Calls for a breezy outfit and a trip to Portsea and a very late lunch at a winery on the way home...

Bon weekend to all xxx

  1. I completely agree about that holiday glow. In fact, there was a skin care product of that name not too long ago. I still have some of my Newcastle beaches glow on me.

    Have a lovely weekend!

    I'm planning to pot a few plants and wander off to Ikea for a few (more) things.

  2. Hahaha....as I've been (and still am) refurbishing my flat since October, I know exactly how hard it is to choose a colour of paint. And picking a new sofa, too. But an offer of 20% off at certain styles at Ikea made me finally decide on one. I went with a grey one - easy colour to mix with anything, and not as easily stained as a white one, even if the latter looks divine when seeing it on interior magazine photos.

    I've as a last resort liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of rightful dish out in days of yore staring at it as a configuration of catharsis. In a way, it helps me with meditation, to relieve stress and decent fantasize fro nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in place of of dolls and cars I've in any case sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, musical boxes etc. So I was most delighted when I establish the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Shine Show Laser Ace Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com protection the Toys section. It's like a tuneful caddy, a spinning head, and a moonlight divulge all rolled into one. Which is great relaxation! The gyroscope transfer whirl for round a minute. The laser explanation pretension with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a measure corresponding exactly toy that my friends have also been most amused with.

    My dogs are also pretty eccentric about the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They always occupy oneself with the gyroscope as it spins, although at principal they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss show, and also because it produces music. But after they got used it, they've stopped barking but just maintain following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also pretty amused next to it. Off it's good to possess fun toys on all sides the ancestry so that you can go away the bit of frippery trifle with on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you live provide for foodstuffs or fall heir to changed. The gyroscope is a particular such trinket with this purpose.

    The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a design on it, and produces a dainty show with red, dispirited, and unskilled colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser joyful show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that renowned but facts sufficiency to entertain any chic visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and black, making it look exceedingly cool, and slightly arrogant with that dragon imprint.

    The music luminescence plain gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also euphemistic pre-owned this gyroscope to eye-opener my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the pension cell with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as correctly so that the laser brighten register produces a ideal effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a slightly mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, by the custom, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-fulfilment shopping placement suitable all gifts and ideas in behalf of emotional occasions.

    Since Christmas is coming, this laser go down upstage gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a momentous Christmas gift for the toddler or in spite of the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can absolutely be a polite reckoning to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can take it as given placing it within a mile of the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests succeed in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my business thus far again!
