such nice necklaces from urban outfitters. they seem really easy to make.

1. Laser cut a wooden shape

2. Find an old school badge

3. Spray a nice key gold.

side project anyone?? : ) I’m so keen.

ps. Anyone know where i can find nice LONG chains in Joburg?

Last week Sunday I went riding bikes with my boyf(iance).. it was pretty pleasant for the first 5 minutes until I fell on a downhill. I was testing my breaks. a leetle too much in the front possibly. eek and I fell pretty bad. Some bad scrapes and bruises but I am alive. yay.

Last week and this i’ve been swamped with deadlines. hoping to come out alive of this one. Only four and a half weeks to go! Wo! cool baby

pretty wednesday

yes yes. summer is coming. the bikinis are in the shops and its time to start making some good choices. flip. hard choices. smoothie or toast? carrots or chips? gym or tv? yip. This may seem like a shallow post but I really just want to start feeling good. The hard thing is I love food and I enjoy my tea.

Although I think i’ve become a bit of an addict. I drink at least 4 cups a day and have a sugar and milk in each which can’t be good (cause it works out to like a sugar bowl a week) so i’m trying to rather drink green tea and honey (to still try get some caffeine in). I’ve made it only about 3 hours so far. lol. wish me luck! I’m going to try this until the end of September and hopefully by then it will have become a good habit. eek.
