The Weekend & All that It Brings

Yay! It’s Friday and I love it because it holds the promise of the entire weekend! Sweet! I look forward to the weekend because it’s when I get to do what I want. That could be 1) to just laze around at home, with the telly of course. 2) to throng the malls and get my necessary and not-so-necessary shopping done. 3) to get outdoors and feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. 4) spend time with loved ones. The weekend’s also when I unplug from the internet and give my perpetually achy shoulders some much needed relief.

So that all sounds good and balanced and lovely. But ahem, I also top that all up by allowing myself to indulge in food. As much as I make it a point to eat healthy, the weekend’s when I let my guard down a little. (If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know I have a weakness for chips.) You can bet it’s going to be so this weekend too!

Good old burger and fries. I actually do LOVE them ALOT. You’ll have to admit that they taste so good! Ice-cream is definitely up there in my list of most-loved food (it beats chocolate by just a teeny weeny bit). I imagine heaven to be a place where there’s free-flow of ice-cream and one doesn’t get fat or sick from them. And just to make it all sound a little balanced, I’m going to say I didn’t forget my serving of fruits! Strawberries!

What about you? What are your food indulgence? What is it that you love about the weekend?

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head

The weather is rather strange these days, isn’t it? It’s supposed to be one of the warmest months over here but it’s been raining buckets! This morning, I woke up to really dark skies. I thought I’ll share a few cute finds to help you weather the winds and rain. Who says you gotta be in drab to be weather safe? These will help you step out in style! (click to enlarge)

1. A feminine trench with ruffles
2. With such cute wellies, the playful you will emerge and you’ll want to jump right into that puddle!
3. Water-proof AND chic bag
4. Chilly in the office? This cardigan not only keeps you warm but oozes so much style
5. The sky may be grey but you’ve got your lovely candy coloured brolly

La Nina or not, I’m not going to let the wetness dampen my mood! Hope you like these!

I doodle

Hi there, did you have a good weekend? My was interesting. We took my family for a night of Ballet Under the Stars on Sunday. It was drizzling but it didn’t dampen our mood. And I believe it was the same for the strong crowd that turned up. So our mats were a little damp, the food peppered with raindrops but the ballet was beautiful!

Last night, I made dinner for T and myself. I made him a beef burger (there’s still a faint smell of the beef patty on my fingers! Must be the kneading) and a fusion salmon burger for myself! Pardon the bad lighting on that photo. I was too hungry and snapped it with my iPhone quickly. I'm still not pleased with my poached egg. So if you have any tips, I would love for you to share.

Here’s a little old doodle for you from my sketchbook (click to enlarge):

Man, I hate those creatures with a vengeance! Wanna tell me how you keep them off?

Green Enough?

Going green has become a huge thing globally. To some, it is about being responsible and to others, it’s simply a matter of participating in the latest cool thing. Regardless of where you stand, I think you’ll enjoy this fun photo shoot which tries to convey the green message in terms of your food and clothing choices. The illustrations of the plants, fruits and vegetables superimposed on the photo are so cute!

Have a great weekend, lovelies! And do something green :)
