'Tis the Season to be Drunk

Good morning my little darlings. And how are we today? No I'm not this cheerful this morning but I think caffeine is beginning to kick in. Yay me! 2 hours of work later and I'm just beginning to wake up. I love December. Well.. I used to love December. Now December is a pain. Engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, weddings, pre-wedding parties, friends-came-from-out-of-town-so-we-should-go-have-dinner-then-drinks outings, bachelorette parties and so on and so forth. All the while, being stuck at work since 8 am barely focusing because 1. lack of sleep and 2. You have no idea what happened the night before but your throbbing head kinda gives you a clue. So you chug on caffeine, smoke like a freaking chimney, because the damage you're doing to your lungs just by spending a few hours in let's say.. Zinc on a Sunday night is not enough, and pretend to work while the clock changes from 8 to 9 to 10 etc... in extreme slow motion. Only to do it all over again.

The bigger problem is, I would suggest taking the whole month off, but in a lot of cases, it won't be a paid leave, and if there's anything I've learnt about Christmas, it's the massive damage I do to my bank account. I'm guessing a lot of you are the same. So my only solution , or the only thing I can come up with is cut my vacation days during the year and save 'em for December, that way I can take off at least 2 weeks in December,(is it worth it though?).

Anyhoo, 3 things I'll be posting about soon.. actually make that 4 in the hopefully near future:

1. My contribution to Christmas dinner this year: a sweet potato casserole and an orange flavoured dark chocolate fudge pie with almond shavings (will try to post pictures and will let you know how they turn out.. fingers crossed).
2. The much awaited opening of L'Atelier Nawbar , and what the Nawbar sisters are all about.
3. The Mukhi Sisters' (Jewellery with an Attitude) new collection and more.
4. Last, but most definitely not least, HUSH2011.. Yup, you guessed it.. The new year's eve party. This one's gonna be for the books.

Stay tuned and may you have a more pleasant week than mine. I will leave you with a taste of what HUSH is all about.. *cough*DeLaSoulwillbeperforming*cough*.


Extremely exhausted,

Hibernation

Ok so summer was long and exhausting but so much fun, December? It was like a compressed summer.. Work everyday, out everynight.. I think my liver went on strike a couple of times. Everyone comes from out of town, so being the locals, we have to entertain, and entertain I did! Then New Year's, and despite everyone's opinion about it being crowded, HUSH was definitely the place to be, AGAIN (last year's Hush Party was the best in town). The music was out of this world, the theme was great, and what can I say, I have a weakness for the boys organizing it (Black Sheep and Republique). And if they throw a party next year, I'll be the first one there. So come January, and off to London I go. Wasn't how I planned my break to be, but it's London so I won't complain. One of my nights there I went to Supperclub (I'll blog about that another time) and I realized then and there, that 2010 was a year for change. A makeover (not necessarily physical) and I decided to take life less seriously. So break ended, back to work I went and hibernation began. Barely going out, sleep after work, dvd's all night. more sleep. My body seriously crashed oh and I also got sick. That wasn't fun either. So, to everyone who has an inner bear, enjoy hibernation period, because it'll end soon and before you know it, your liver will sue you!

This is.... Bambi.

This is my first official blog! I was inspired by a good friend of mine, Aysha, who has a fabulous blog called PrettyFashionForward that I read religiously, and so I decided what the hell. I've got nothing to lose. It's like a diary that sometimes replies.

So here goes, I recently did, what a lot of girls dread doing... I chopped my hair off. And it's not that very blah hair cut that every other girl has (almost kinda carre, long from the front, short from the back). No no.. It's more liek a short bob, Rihanna meets the ex WAG queen! And as much as I love it, it is kind of high maintenance, and why is it that no one knows how to blow dry short hair? I've been to a few, and I ended up looking like a mushroom. *sigh*

But girls, 2010, is a year for change. Do something drastic, Change your hair colour.. chop it off.. make a fashion statement (if you have sense of style otherwise, stick to the new hair do) and if you don't want to change something physical, by all means, change something in your life.. cut out bad habits.. break your routine.. be bolder.. be confident.. meet more people.. Enjoy life and don't settle for second best in anything..

And those were a few of my new year's resolutions...
