Dear Readers

You guys remember how this works right?  I start and finish a few sentences……you then complete the same sentences in the comments section:)

Apologies……. should always be acknowledged.  Whether they are accepted or not is irrelevant.
Sometimes…..not even peanut butter straight from the jar can soothe my troubles away.
A night out….when you are least in the mood for it is sometimes exactly what you need:)
Friends…..come in all shapes and forms and the real ones are life savers.
Talking….about something that bothers you doesn’t always make it better.
I hate...that double standards seems to be the way most people choose to live.
Worrying…about loved ones can make you physically ill.
Laughing…is truly the best medicine.
Stress…should be illegal.
Love…who you are, if you don’t…change it.
A hug…can cure a lot of things
Life….is not always unicorns, rainbows and roses.  But it’s how you choose to deal with the thorns that shows your real character.

Now it’s your turn:)

Dear Auntie E

I can not believe you are gone:(  I think I may still be in a state of shock.  You were the mother of many “orphans” in Jozi.  Your house and your heart were always open to the friends of your children that missed their own parents and were far away from home.  There was always an extra plate of food in case someone needed it, always a glass of wine, a smile and a hug available.  We miss you already.

Love

Dear Being Brazen

So the gorgeous Being Brazen recently had a fantastic give away on her blog.  The prize was a bottle of the unisex scent,  ‘Unbreakable Bond’, by Khloe and Lamar from the South African online store Eterniti.  Lucky little me managed to win this random draw and the fragrance arrived in my grubby little paws during the week:)

While the smell is absolutely amazing (it really is), I found that it is too masculine for my taste, which means I might gift it to one of my guy friends or family members.  However, just because I won’t necessarily be wearing it, doesn’t mean I don’t love getting these awesome gifts:)

Thank you so much for the awesome give away lady! Looking forward to taking part in (and hopefully winning) many more:P

Love

Dear Just Dance 4 and GirlGuides

Thank you so much for hosting a fabulous event for us girls on Wednesday night. Fun was had by all and I think it’s safe to say the game in general is a hit.

The function was at Slow in the City in Sandton…it was my first time there, and I think it’s a really nice venue for an event. The ladies had 2 XBox Kinects set up and ready for us to to get our dance on with Just Dance 4. The general idea was that for every time you danced, your name would be entered into a draw for a fabulous Marc Jacobs goodie bag. While I did not win (Jessica was the lucky winner of this one), I had so much fun and I ended up kicking ass in all but 1 of the group dances I took part in.

The girls also provided as with a really stunning goodie bag. It contained a copy of the game (especially for your gaming console, as the game is compatible with Wii, Xbox and PS3), a very funky 80’s style aerobics t-shirt, 3 perfume samples, a mini stylus, a keyring, a funky pair of sunglasses AND some wireless wipes. The snacks were divine, the wine was yummy, the dancing exercise a blast and the company, as always, fantastic:)

These came off very early on in the evening……

Love Love Love the shirts we got!!!!

Also, just so you know, I think I might be addicted to your little game O_o. Today I went out to buy the Move for my PS3 so that I would be able to play….guess what I’ll be doing for most of the weekend:)

Thank you so much for a fantastic and really fun event!

Love
