My favourite kind of me-time is the treat-myself kind. The usual kind of me-time consists of sitting in a coffee shop reading a book or magazine accompanied by my standard cappuccino. If I'm feeling in the proper <i>treat-yo-self</i> mood then I'll pamper myself with anything from a manicure, facial or even just going to get my hair and washed (personal fav because the idea of hair-washing is my least favourite time).<br />
<br />
I always feel so refreshed and happy after these kinds of afternoons (or even days). <br />
<br />
Otherwise, a good afternoon read or catching up series is my standard go-to if I am too lazy to venture out into the wilderness (i.e. out of my room). <br />
<br />
And here are some books that are on my current reading (wish)list:<br />
<ul>
<li>Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov</li>
<li>Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel García Márquez</li>
<li>A Short of History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson </li>
<li>The Handmaid’s Tale - Margaret Atwood</li>
<li>Americanah - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie</li>
<li>More books about royalty - I'm <strike>obsessed</strike> intrigued with this genre! </li>
</ul>
A bit of here and there post nonetheless these delightful days are joyous and rejuvenating and with the upcoming public holidays more time to do these wonderful activities! What are some of your favourite me-time activities?<br />

<br />
Included in my array of favourites is the Creamery Cafe which has hands-down some of the most interesting and tantalising ice-cream flavours imaginable. <br />
<br />
The standard choice is simply a single scoop of any of the new flavours (the coffee flavour is my fallback if none of the new creations are appetising enough). However, a must-try is the waffles which come with a scoop of ice cream and I recommend trying it with the toasted marshmallow! <br />
<br />
For R32 for a single scoop, it’s well worth making a stop after dinner, before dinner, for dinner or any time of day or necessary social interaction!<br />

For now, we will start with this year's chronicle: during O-week (Orientation Week, basically a two-week fun fest before varsity starts) I took one of the Sunset Cruises that depart from the V&A Waterfront. The cost of these yacht cruises is not as expensive as one would think ranging from R250-R350 per person for a 90 minute/2 hour cruise including complimentary bubbly and it takes you just beyond the harbour where you can see all the wonders of the Cape Town skyline (both building and mountain) painted in the pink rays of the setting sun. I highly recommend doing this cruise during summer when the wind is not as violent at night and its still fairly warm by the evening time and you can take in all the beauty without freezing your socks off. <br />

The holiday lodge was surrounded by mountains and tranquility and it was a weekend filled with putt-putt, quad-biking and wonderful little eating places - all the key ingredients to a weekend away in the Drakensberg.<br />

I was lucky enough to read three such books this past month - <i>Yes Please!, Catcher in the Rye </i>and <i>Mornings in Jenin</i>. I don't usually read one genre of books (as this short booklist reveals), my main concern is that it's not a slow read. I thought I would provide my short review of these three books that kept me entertained over December (or rather for a few days at a time in short bursts).<br />

I am one of those people who are fascinated by the lives and stories of other people so this kind of book was right up my alley. It's a mixture of Amy's wisdom and life experiences all wrapped up in her humour. It's filled with so many take-home lessons such as the one below. </div>

Never before have I cried buckets of tears after reading a book, I cried for the <i>fictitious </i>family in the novel, I cried for all the different kinds of losses in both this novel and reality, I cried for humanity. The story centres the Palestine-Israel conflict from its beginnings to the current day. It is a well-written book about such a large part of human history about which I had been ashamedly fairly ignorant. This single blog post does not quite do the mastery of this book justice. Below is one review of the book that encapsulates some my feelings towards this book: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">'In a note to readers, Susan Abulhawa writes, </span><strong style="font-family: inherit;">“I have always believed in the power of literature to reach the heart, stir the mind, and remind us all of our common humanity. And I have always admired writers who chose storytelling as a way to tear down the barriers between peoples. It is for this reason that I chose to write Mornings in Jenin.”</strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Well, she has certainly accomplished the stirring of the heart, reminding us of our common humanity, and tearing down barriers in this novel. This book is a masterpiece.' </span></i> </blockquote>

Quelqu'un m'a dit by Carla Bruni isn't actually a new song, it's been around for quite a while but I am quite obsessed with it's quaint, romantic melody and hum-along-tune. <i>(excuse the disjointed lyrics)</i><br />

Unfortunately, I didn't choose the right time to go as it wasn't as buzzing as it would have been in the evenings and not so cleverly went after lunch so there were plenty of burgers and full meals available to buy which I didn't have the appetite to savour. Nonetheless, the music was festive and we ate some delicious deep-fried oreos and melt-in-your-mouth macaroons. The last day is tomorrow and it's going on tonight till late, as well.<br />

<br />
Although we are already full swing into the summer heat, it's never be too late to post a few items that I want for my closet this summer.<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.woolworths.co.za/store/prod/Women/Clothing/Tops/Hooded-Poncho/_/A-503145376" target="_blank">Hooded Poncho</a><br />
A poncho is great to throw over whatever you're wearing in the evening if it gets slightly chilly, which is generally not the case here in Durban but is definitely a useful item for breezy Cape Town evenings. It's effortlessly chic & minimal which I love.<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://www.woolworths.co.za/store/prod/Women/Clothing/Dresses/Halterneck-Pleat-Dress/_/A-503141894" target="_blank">Halterneck Pleat Dress</a><br />
I love love love this halter neck dress. The pleats make it so pretty and whimsical - perfect for twirling around. Paired with some wedges and statement earrings, it's my favourite kind of summer chic that can be worn either day or night.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://www.woolworths.co.za/store/prod/Women/Clothing/Dresses/Fringed-Dress/_/A-503063814" target="_blank">White fringed dress</a><br />
This dress is just one of those cute, casual dresses that can be worn on any kind of summer day. I love dresses like this that are not too tight as it's much more comfortable to wear as you're not pulling and tugging at it all day ensuring you're not exposed.<br />
<br />
4. <a href="http://cottonon.com/AU/p/cotton-on-women/the-slim-overall/2024640702108.html#prefn1=countrySpecificMarkets&pmin=0&prefv1=AU&start=1" target="_blank">Denim dungarees</a><br />
Whether you call them dungarees or overalls, this is a want that is at the absolute top of my list. Dungarees are the most versatile pieces of clothing that can essentially be worn all year around. For summer, my ideal would either be wearing a crop top or a printed tee underneath it.<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://www.woolworths.co.za/store/prod/Woolworths-New/Christmas/Today-s-Deal/WRewards-30-Off-any-2-Dresses/Ladies-Dresses/Stripe-Print-Jumpsuit/_/A-503168030" target="_blank">Striped jumpsuit</a><br />
Jumpsuits are another piece of summer clothing that are so fun & easy to wear because it can usually be worn by itself but you can always pair this jumpsuit with a statement bangle and some heels for a dressier look. <br />
<br />
6. <a href="http://www.woolworths.co.za/store/prod/Women/Clothing/Pants/Slim-Pant/_/A-503178332" target="_blank">Slim White Jeans</a><br />
I would normally not touch any pair of jeans in this heat but for some reason white jeans are so summery and appealing in this weather. For me, they're extremely dangerous as I know by the end of the day they will not be clean. Nevertheless, I am willing to risk it paired with a loosely fitted white shirt and a pop of colour in either my make-up or jewellery.<br />
<br />
I realised that the colour scheme of my wishlist is very neutral but all these items I would definitely pair with some brighter colours so that it's not all a washout - bright and chic are two adjectives that can be synonymous right? <br />

It's the easiest and most effective way to add some fun to your wardrobe. So to add some festive fun this month I went for this gold glitter nail polish which I absolutely love - I'm that person who gets distracted by their painted nails and this is my favourite distraction so far.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are so many other ways to add glitter or sparkle to your wardrobe, especially in your make-up look. Byrdie posted a wonderful <a href="http://www.byrdie.com/glitter-makeup-ideas/" target="_blank">article</a> on how to incorporate glitter into your make-up. Below are some of my favourite looks from the article & from <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/sohinir/" target="_blank">Pintrest</a> that I'm waiting for an occasion to try out. Most of the glitter is in the eye make-up but sparkle can very easily be included in your wardrobe in the form of sequinned or embellished wonders. Glam never quite goes out of style. </div>

I say <i>determined</i> because I know more often then not my sloth tendencies take over and hours of afternoons can pass by potato-ing on the couch. I like to think my saying this on the Internet will force me to be less sloth.<br />
<br />
I digress, here's my list of things I'd like to do/explore/see this summer:<br />
<br />
<u> </u><br />
<u>Promenade Bike Rides:</u><br />
For as
long as the revamped promenade has been around, I haven't cycled along
it. This time it shall happen. Bike rides can always be so whimsical.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<u>Indoor ice-rink:</u><br />
Hot weather calls for cool places and floating on ice always provides some entertainment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPR1hQ-y21v-Sfr8gyKryew6j2GHd07m9u5WgIpU8DiVcwnoeqd4A5twXSY3epdkFnfJ_Qjja8M-tkwYtO-8pM-3pMbNiDZXhYSDwwyOEVtY2A2cQCGaHZ7Pr8vk9HtgOL9EOBqknfqYg/s1600/DSC00824.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPR1hQ-y21v-Sfr8gyKryew6j2GHd07m9u5WgIpU8DiVcwnoeqd4A5twXSY3epdkFnfJ_Qjja8M-tkwYtO-8pM-3pMbNiDZXhYSDwwyOEVtY2A2cQCGaHZ7Pr8vk9HtgOL9EOBqknfqYg/s640/DSC00824.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /><u> </u><br />
<u>Markets:</u><br />
From the iHeart Market to the Shongweni's Farmer Market, Saturday mornings are made for markets and yummy food <i>(if not for sleeping in)</i><br />
<br />
<u>Mini-Town:</u><br />
Only because I like to feel tall once in a while and heels aren't always as fun.<br />
<br />
<u>Beaches:</u><br />
Basically Durban at it's best - need I say more?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhALZ6TS_qGoseadr-brG0NJfLuX16NOhdIymsYdPZHUXi8pIop8Gw1KcEUwU5REWGXIu9qL3jJ6zkhzlYN7x0mzNlSgZU_OXKu_cj8wcfPpTBRvHvkyjkuJvVRF68KFiOZncCmIw-Z6ao/s1600/IMG_5102.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhALZ6TS_qGoseadr-brG0NJfLuX16NOhdIymsYdPZHUXi8pIop8Gw1KcEUwU5REWGXIu9qL3jJ6zkhzlYN7x0mzNlSgZU_OXKu_cj8wcfPpTBRvHvkyjkuJvVRF68KFiOZncCmIw-Z6ao/s640/IMG_5102.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<u> </u><br />
<u>Exploring new & different dining and coffee spots:</u><br />
Tea (& food in general) is always the best idea.<br />
<br />
<u>Beachfront amusement park:</u><br />
Merry-go-rounds & fun rides never get old.<br />
<br />
<u>Yoga by the beach:</u><br />
It just sounds very movie-like but will probably prove to be hot & sticky in this humidity.<br />
<br />
<u> </u><br />
<u>Seeing the city in a different way:</u><br />
As cliched as it sounds, seeing the city through the eyes of a tourist can be refreshing. <br />
<ul></ul>
So this is my mini-list of things I may or may not do this December. I plan to update the blog with all the adventures if the bustling holiday crowds don't test my patience. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For now, here's some Mindy.</div>

What are some of your fav summer activities? xo </div>
<br />

<br />
First things first, make yourself a steamy cup of tea - tea is literally like my safe place; it's like a hug in a cup.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisk5bflajMCxga-lUkoTdKc2dLuSWKwAQ6KVyxwdjHCNzY9yjIJLjZ72-jSJiRi0HlNBOIVMp7MiuW_CuzcaGuNqz7PzTGbrvuMJMsTGdbJY50kQ8LvKyIDbwxFOatDm69KlQiLlyRjD4/s640/blogger-image-1916064432.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisk5bflajMCxga-lUkoTdKc2dLuSWKwAQ6KVyxwdjHCNzY9yjIJLjZ72-jSJiRi0HlNBOIVMp7MiuW_CuzcaGuNqz7PzTGbrvuMJMsTGdbJY50kQ8LvKyIDbwxFOatDm69KlQiLlyRjD4/s640/blogger-image-1916064432.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Okay now that you've successfully made tea to your taste - some like it milky, some like it not quite black with two drops of milk - you can move onto my next step.<br />
<div>
<br />
This next step for me involves either a) switching on the TV or b) in most cases my laptop and surfing the interwebbles.<br />
<br />
My go-to interweb sites are firstly YouTube and catching up on all my subscriptions - there's generally a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/dailygrace" target="_blank">dailygrace</a> or two to watch and a couple of vlogs there too along with the normal youtuber videos.<br />
<br />
Secondly i open up facebook but if I'm not in the mood to be annoyed by the people I kinda met this one time. then i open up <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/sohinir/boards/" target="_blank">pintrest</a> and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/sohinir/chez-moi/" target="_blank">play house</a> and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/sohinir/fashion/" target="_blank">fashionista</a> by repinning all these beautiful looking photos. But I tend not to open weheartit, it's hopelessly too soppy, self-piteous and teenage dream (most of the time anyway) for my liking. <br />
<br />
Once I'm done catching up on these two important sites in between the sips of tea i move onto series. Series is another way to get lost for a couple hours - some prefer books, which I don't mind but series is my calling. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnFdU8HNsBpAh3umfwQL50E0syGg1UtS_lYTS68N2yi39d2p_MQI2XvjsyyLtcHGmxh9HJtOPKoUaRaU0a0gYlMncCAop-wtNPrVfTJ-_0SkSrQu-9TbwfJgrdSYzv47yD74TgixqH3GQ/s640/blogger-image-1102906518.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnFdU8HNsBpAh3umfwQL50E0syGg1UtS_lYTS68N2yi39d2p_MQI2XvjsyyLtcHGmxh9HJtOPKoUaRaU0a0gYlMncCAop-wtNPrVfTJ-_0SkSrQu-9TbwfJgrdSYzv47yD74TgixqH3GQ/s640/blogger-image-1102906518.jpg" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thankfully it's October which means a lot of the series that I watch are premiering this month - just in time to help me procrastinate studying for exams (jokes, mom).<br />
<br />
What are your favourite ways to relax and de-stress? Have a great week! xo</div>

It's the weekend at last, this week feels like it dragged fooo' sure. This week was mildly uneventful although yesterday was <a href="http://tvturmerictea.blogspot.com/2012/10/hump-day.html" target="_blank">October 3rd</a> and the Mean Girls world imploded and it was a very grand day quoting Mean Girls (not that I don't do that on a daily basis anyway - totes relatable, I mean "get in loser we're going shopping" who doesn't use that in everyday life??)<br />
<br />
I digress. Looking forward to another chilled weekend and <strike>procrastinating</strike> hopefully getting myself organised for the upcoming exams and what not. I am also loving getting back in the blogging groove.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a suuuper fab weekend all. xx </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love the naïveté of the characters and the simplicity of the times in the high school movies compared to teenhood today. It just really and truly makes me <a href="http://tvturmerictea.blogspot.com/2012/11/happy-place.html" target="_blank">happy</a>. Before you jump ahead - no I do not wish I was a teen in the 80s, truly. I'm pretty sure I was born in the right era because I can't imagine being a teen without internet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I thought I'd just give you a list of my favourite golden oldies that I will never get tired of, it's not quite a top ten but it's close. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088847/" target="_blank">The Breakfast Club</a></div>
<div>
This movie is one of my all time favs and I will never get tired of - don't you wish that you could go to detention and come out with new friends and a boyfriend? </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg298Ukbgg5QUUEIkhWDE_m7luS3o5ssWM8C3BY_nyUcPtOGkEuXkim12gcdiPrfJalE_HR1SextMYR_dRZJekB2v2jdohjKC6Hubf1sUz_ntaCPPapAfK1DTKJoLX3l1bgnSF6NeyyvlA/s1600/large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg298Ukbgg5QUUEIkhWDE_m7luS3o5ssWM8C3BY_nyUcPtOGkEuXkim12gcdiPrfJalE_HR1SextMYR_dRZJekB2v2jdohjKC6Hubf1sUz_ntaCPPapAfK1DTKJoLX3l1bgnSF6NeyyvlA/s640/large.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/" target="_blank">10 things I hate about you</a></div>
<div>
Yes, yes it's not an 80s movie but it's still an oldie and a classic. I first watched this movie whilst on exchange and I recently rewatched it and loved it all over again - how can you not love her poem in the end and of course Heath Ledger? </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ZrcaIpFLHN3YEztpTa5h4x4ZMwNdtK2yyfSmza5LIcY9L2HVPNASDa4pJ8r1AnxEdMWVga5O3eexpvzY1k2qGnS8Q5tjNREIaucl3MWsdsgNQ656k-kmKVF90fq6jHgOKgdXamkpPms/s1600/10-things-i-hate-about-you.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ZrcaIpFLHN3YEztpTa5h4x4ZMwNdtK2yyfSmza5LIcY9L2HVPNASDa4pJ8r1AnxEdMWVga5O3eexpvzY1k2qGnS8Q5tjNREIaucl3MWsdsgNQ656k-kmKVF90fq6jHgOKgdXamkpPms/s640/10-things-i-hate-about-you.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092890" target="_blank">Dirty Dancing</a></div>
<div>
One of the cutest love stories there is. If you didn't feel utter joy when they could do the lift in the end then there is a problem. </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq7kwFxTlN5Q-7P1dCM_1dGKYhqmzZGu3OCir6mBDfTuYTrpR7hH9JhKrgX7agU6Qwtit-Cs5HoShh8oNtINkI_pAa4y35Hh5xW2gTCU9H8wCvEQivd6H4yoRmmP-zVXGNRgl4I_Eudls/s1600/Dirty_Dancing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq7kwFxTlN5Q-7P1dCM_1dGKYhqmzZGu3OCir6mBDfTuYTrpR7hH9JhKrgX7agU6Qwtit-Cs5HoShh8oNtINkI_pAa4y35Hh5xW2gTCU9H8wCvEQivd6H4yoRmmP-zVXGNRgl4I_Eudls/s640/Dirty_Dancing.jpg" width="410" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088128/" target="_blank">Sixteen Candles</a></div>
<div>
I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others but it's still one of my favourite oldies. It follows the story of a girl on her sixteenth birthday where her family has forgotten about her birthday and even worse the boy she has a crush on doesn't know she exists - imagine how horrible that must be.</div>

<div>
Now before you say that you've watched this one you better not be talking about the 21st century remake. The original version is much much better - surprise surprise. I find it more sincere and believable and it just suits the time better having it set in that decade (the 80s) rather then today. </div>

6. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097165" target="_blank">Dead Poets Society </a></div>
<div>
I forgot how sad and heartwarming this movie was until I rewatched it recently. The movie follows the lives of boarding school boys whose lives are changed by a new English teacher. It is such a well-written story about following your passion and not following convention and tradition for the sake of it.<br />

7. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091790/" target="_blank">Pretty in Pink</a><br />
This is one of those really bad 80s movies you can't help but love and find entertaining. Another Molly Ringwald movie where Andie finds herself in a bit of a love triangle and she has to choose between a sweet rich boy and a childhood friend.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAZXYYjJ8OH1PqrK51GL2ND9A7asmnU0GrfNu4FqXsJcg9bTpnbdaq_yHfIVOT44JVjqHKYroTnKil4QKi4HrsrG8ocGJ6jwgiMzrgjhWWoPzK2jeoky0B2WLzpQucEyaASVbKSb2rp6A/s1600/Pretty-In-Pink-movies-44841_1024_768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAZXYYjJ8OH1PqrK51GL2ND9A7asmnU0GrfNu4FqXsJcg9bTpnbdaq_yHfIVOT44JVjqHKYroTnKil4QKi4HrsrG8ocGJ6jwgiMzrgjhWWoPzK2jeoky0B2WLzpQucEyaASVbKSb2rp6A/s640/Pretty-In-Pink-movies-44841_1024_768.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
8. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094006/" target="_blank">Some Kind of Wonderful</a><br />
I found this movie to be very similar to Pretty in Pink but the gender roles are reversed where Keith asks out a popular girl unbeknown to him that his tomboy best friend has a huge crush on him. If I had to choose my favourite between Pretty in Pink and this one - Some Kind of Wonderful would get my vote because I found it cuter and my heart melted more at the end of this one than at the end of Pretty in Pink, that's a very good indication right?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
That's my list - it's not a very long list but out of all the 80s movies I've watched so far, these are my fav. It's a lot of John Hughes and quite the Molly Ringwald overload. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. What are your favourite golden oldies? xx</div>

I came across this quote whilst reading a book based on real events called Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. I found it quite thought-provoking and thought to share it. </div>

It didn't look that complicated and I've been itching to do a DIY project for a while. So I decided to give it a bash (LOL, how English of me next thing you know I'll be starting posts with top of the morning to you). </span><br />
<span style="color: #454040;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #454040;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So here's a simplifed version of how you do it and me being the organised person that I am - I didn't take any "during"/"process" photos so your imagination is important here. But I did capture some photos of me prancing around it, selfies etc. Usual tutu behaviour. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #454040;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<div style="color: #454040;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Stuff to make tutu:</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #454040; font-family: inherit;">roughly 9m of 140cm wide tulle, depending on the amount of poof you want in your tutu. I opted for a harder sort of tulle almost like net. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #454040; font-family: inherit;">a piece of fabric about 13cm wide and the length of your waist, this acts as "skirt".</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #454040; font-family: inherit;">piece of ribbon - a little longer than your waist. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #454040; font-family: inherit;">scissors</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #454040; font-family: inherit;">measuring tape</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #454040; font-family: inherit;">sewing pins</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #454040; font-family: inherit;">needle and thread</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #454040;">The method was simply laying out the fabric on a flat surface. Then cutting even strips of the fabric and then folding each strip of fabric in half and looping it and tying it around your ribbon. I then hand sewed a piece of white fabric underneath the tutu which acted as a skirt. Please do check out the </span><a href="http://rookiemag.com/2012/09/how-to-make-a-tutu/" target="_blank">full article</a><span style="color: #454040;"> up on Rookie for more detailed explanations and methods.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #454040;">I hope this inspired some of you to release your creative side. Trust me, it isn't that hard - if I can do it, you can (me who can barely sew a button, don't tell my mom that). I haven't really had a chance to frolic in it yet, waiting on that perfect summer's day. I really did enjoy making my tutu and have definitely caught the DIY-bug so I will be trying out more DIY things as I come across them on </span><a href="http://pinterest.com/sohinir" target="_blank">Pintrest</a><span style="color: #454040;">. Stay stylish, lovelies! </span></span></div>

I guess it's not often that I find a song that I madly enjoy and want to share it. This particular song is another french song called <i>Je Veux</i> by Zaz. It has quite a jazzy vibe to it. It's just really fun and makes you want to dance and sing a long. I put the french and english translation below as well so you can follow along. I hope it brightens up your Sunday, enjoy!<br />
<i>(please excuse the corresponding lyrics not matching up exactly, the OCD in me tried very hard to get them to align but alas it refused to budge)</i><br />

I don't even have a very good explanation, life just happened. I watched a YouTube video yesterday which kinda sums up my bloggers block but I wasn't really avoiding my bloggie, school just took over. But I'm back and making a half year resolution to be more regular. In the meanwhile here's a picture of a zebra wearing a crown and the YouTube video by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ellagracedenton08/" target="_blank">Ella Grace</a>. <div>

We went a couple of times over the weekend. It started on Friday with the pulling of the chariots (which is exactly as it sounds - the giant chariots were pulled by ropes by people along the promenade).<br />
<br />
Yesterday was the Rainbow Splash, essentially like the celebration of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi" target="_blank">Holi</a>. Holi is the Hindu festival where it celebrates the beginning of Spring and a time to say farewell to winter and commemorates times of good harvests and fertile land. The event is celebrated by throwing coloured powder at each other.<br />
<br />
So that's what we did yesterday on the beach. The Festival of Chariots held the Rainbow Splash event and was basically a 2-hour event of throwing coloured powder at each other whilst a DJ (Deon-G) entertained us. Every half an hour or so, there would a mass throwing of colour in the air where we would throw a certain colour up in the air. The whole event was heaps of fun and we all looked like we swam in a rainbow by the end of it.<br />

Just a tip to all those going to next week's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ColourFestivalDurban" target="_blank">Colour Fest</a>, don't talk that much otherwise you gonna get some of the colour in your mouth and that stuff stains. Also being short doesn't really help because people just dump a whole lot of colour on top of you hence my face is the most colourful. But it's still loads of fun so enjoy chickens! </div>

It was a very time-consuming process but so worth it in the end. The method for the cake-baking is pretty straight-forward.<br />
<br />
We used the following recipe for the cakes:<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>290g flour</li>
<li>75g salted butter and 75ml oil </li>
<ul>
<li>Alternatively use 150g Stork </li>
</ul>
<li>250g castor sugar </li>
<li>1 tablespoon baking powder </li>
<li>3 large eggs</li>
<li>100ml milk</li>
<li>50ml water</li>
<li>5ml vanilla essence </li>
</ul>
<div>
The method is simple. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. You sieve all the dry ingredients in a bowl. You then mix in all the wet ingredients and beat it until well mixed. This makes 2, 20cm, cakes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We doubled the recipe and made it twice so that we got 8, 20cm, cakes. To colour the different layers we split the batter and coloured it in a bowl using food colouring then poured it into the greased 20cm baking pan. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

We trimmed the cakes so that they were all flat and even then layered the cakes in the order (from the bottom) green, blue, purple, green, yellow, pink, orange and red and used butter cream icing in between each layer and around the giant cake. Oh and we added sprinkles to the top because what is a cake without sprinkles? What is anything without those tiny colourful baubles?</div>

Lol, so it didn't go as smooth as that. We ended up with two green layers because we tried to make the one turquoise and that was a fail. We almost forgot to add the butter and oil to the first batch and in between all of this we were videoing our whole baker day on Paige's laptop (yes we are going to be the next youtube sensation). All in all, it turned out really cool (and indie). So without further introductions here is our holi (rainbow) cake!</div>

It was one of the most heart-wrenching books that I have read. It's a boy-meet-girl story except both of these teenagers have a type of cancer and they meet at a cancer support group.<br />
<br />
One of my favourite youtubers <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TroyeSivan18" target="_blank">Troye Sivan</a> recently wrote a song about this book. It's beautifully sung and is as poignant as the book so I couldn't not share it with you. Enjoy! xo<br />

It was a lot of fun despite majority of the grade not pitching up... The theme was "Unleash your inner animal". I didn't have many animalistic clothing so I unleashed my inner guinea fowl in the form of my earrings. What a cool cat, I know (more like cool guinea fowl). We played various games and one of my favourites were where we put into groups of about six and given characters and we had to make plays/sketches out of them. We had an elephant, drunk pilot, teacher, druggie, taxi driver and my character had a broken leg. My group won best play/sketch thing (not that I'm bragging or anything). Here are a few photos a few of my Facebook friends posted (I didn't bring my camera, so these photos aren't my own).<br />
