Eat nothing...

Christmas is winding down around here and things are finally getting back to normal after an über busy December. Normally I'd be kinda lamenting the fact that Christmas is over but I'm still looking forward to a few more family get togethers after New Years.  Yes more food and wine.

Question: how is one supposed to lose 10 lbs by January 6th when the fattening food won't go away?

  (Why the seasonally inappropriate quest for rapid weight loss you ask, we haven't even hit New Years yet?)
 Its because Mama and Husband are off to Vegas the first week of January and while we're there my plan is to find some serious dealz shopping for clothes, clothes and more clothes. 

 However I've apparently (over the last month) managed to eat a third of my total body weight in Ferrero Rocher, cheese and red wine. 

Obviously one solution is to maintain the December status quo and just continue eating, but then walk the Vegas Strip and shop till my legs fall off, thus burning off the extra el-bees that have recently decided to call my muffin top "home." 

Or I could pull a Bethenny Frankel and "Taste everything, Eat Nothing."

{What does that mean? Like literally eat nothing at all?  Well she did shed all her baby weight in 3 weeks...}

Let's keep it real here. I shall continue to eat, and I'll in all likelihood not drop 10 pounds by January 6th. However the elliptical trainer and me are gonna be on a first name basis. Hopefully?

What is your plan for the post holiday slim-down?

One last joke before I am on Holiday! Geniet hom!

A few days ago I was having some work done at my
local garage. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred- ten.

We all looked at each other and another customer
asked, 'What is a seven-hundred-ten?'
She replied, 'You know, the little piece in the
middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one..'

She replied that she did not know exactly what
it was, but this piece had always been there.

The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen
and asked her to draw what the piece looked like.

She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote
710. He then took her over to a car just like hers which had its hood up and
asked 'is there a 710 on this car?'

She pointed and said, 'Of course, its right
there.'

If you're not sure what a 710 is ,






Here it is!

I 'm OUT!!

Don't you just love our goverment and all their helpfull staff?

I know it is quite old but all of us had this problem once , the municipality! They are incompentent and fucking stupid, they have got no idea what is going on in their own offices! So I thought you guys might like this letter, it is so funny! And I just love it even more because it is in Afrikaans! So hopefully you enjoy it as much as  I did :)

Tips for Summer!

Remember it is Summer now and the holidays are just beginning for some! So here is a few useful or useless info just to keep your head above the water!

1.Everyone older always tells you this, dress properly. You don't want to look like the douche on the beach with the red speedo again. You have to dress to the occasion, not on the occasion cause that will only get you arrested or beaten up.

 

2.Another very important point is hygeine ! Take the hell care of your odour! Nobody likes Mr Shitstain, it might be funny the night before being  pissed on Tequila and R15 Wellington special but now it is a big "NO-NO"

So keep a shower in a can nearby and for shit sakes wash after you made a accidental "briekmerk"

3.It is the holidays, treat yourself! Buy a handfull of presents for yourself and others! Don't be shy, payday is only next year end of January and your Bonus will probably last for 5 hours! But really , go eat a fancy meal at a restaurant or just have a nice home cooked meal.

4.See the humour in everything! Just not when you locked up with a big black guy wanting some nookie, that shit ain't funny at all.

5.Keep the tan lines under control, everyone wants to look good on the beach! And please use sunscreen on the neccesary places that might scare of girls...

6. Last but not least, make every photo a special one!

Happy Holidays!!

These are a few of my favorite things...

I was tagged by the super lovely Marie, at Marie a la mode to talk a bit about the things I'm currently loving.

Easily done, in fact I had a hard time narrowing it down to only a top five.

My 5 current loves

My Samsung Galaxy Tab. Like an iPad but smaller and even more awesome. It's a tablet that supports Flash, fits in your hand, has a front and rear facing camera, its Android powered, it's preloaded with Kobo eReader and best of all it's like a tiny computer you can take anywhere (we put a SIM card in it too.) 

I'm kissing my laptop goodbye! 

e.l.f cosmetics- (eyes, lips, face)  I'm completely into this line of ridiculously affordable makeup. Sadly it's only available here in Canada at Winners (and sometimes Zellers) and online. The prices are amazing and the quality is just as good.  Most products sell from 3-10 dollars. Crazy!

 Dolman tops, whether it's with a bat wing or angel wing sleeve, v-neck or cowl neck, there's just something so flattering and easy to wear about this style of shirt. Fitted at the bottom but loose at the arm- it's perfection.

Brunette hair colour. Yup, I'm in love with brown hair (regular readers will be tired of hearing about this once again.) After years of being honey blonde I'm totally into dark chestnut brown hair. It's rich and natural and I wish I would have gone back to my "real" colour a long time ago had I known that I'd love it so much.

Large American Retailers- ok, this one might seem a bit strange but I really do love U.S. based retail/drug/department stores that we don't have here in Canada. While we do have just about every major store or chain here there are some we don't have (like Target).  Shopping in the States makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.

5 Questions

1. Fave Makeup Brand?

OR

For years it was MAC all the way, but lately I've been really liking NARS as well.

2. Fave Clothing Brand?

This is another tough question. I (also) really like Forever 21, Michael Kors, Jacob, INC and even Old Navy. 

3. Your indispensable makeup product ?

This question is almost impossible to answer. (I really feel "naked" going out without foundation, liner, mascara and lipstick.) But I'm going to go with this pen style eye liner. It's way easier to use than classic liquid liner because of the pen style precision tip. It gives a smooth dark line that you can easily make thick or thin.

4. What country would you like to visit and why?

I'd love to visit Prague in the Czech Republic. It's one of the few European cities I haven't been to and I've heard its gorgeous. It's definitely on my list of must-see world destinations. 

5. What is that last concert you've been to?

Ok, don't get judgey on me. BritBrit is one of my favorite hot messes and she does put on a good show. What's sad is that I really haven't been to any other decent shows in well over a year. Mama needs to get out more?

Time to tag these lovely ladies:

Sara from Sara in Le Petit Village

DeefromCG at Champagne Blonde

Her Majesty, Mrs. Dixon from The Doll House

TILTE from Things I like to Eat (...and other Nonsense)

Heather from Forever in blue jeans

Hotpants from Handbags & Handguns

Piercings, is it worth the look?

So piercings are the new "in thing", but why? I never really could understand them or see the use in them, it looks good but with age it will become more of a burden than a fashion statement.

You get different kinds of piercings, you get the oh so popular belly ring, every girl has them or wants one, I understand the concept of it, it looks nice, it makes your pre birth feeding tube look a tad stylish but what I really can not get my head around is the genital rings...come on its your reproductive organs! Fuck me, I would die if I take a girl home and she pulls out a clit ring, I would throw up, and probably make any excuse to stay from the  lord of the clit!
And the Prince Albert, why the name, I have never seen any of the "royal" family with any piercings?? Who would like pull out a ring of your dick everytime you want to take a piss, and the only girl that finds that attractive is the hardcore dominatrix things, you can even lock dick rings when you having funky time!

It is really not all that bad, it takes the attention away from your weird scrawny eye, poop looking birth mark on your cheek or that Owen Wilson nose, now you look like a complete asshole with a piece of metal in your face!


But seriously , do what you want with your body, it is yours! Fuck it up if you need to...but just picture this handsome man in 20 years!

Ed out! Enjoy the Holidays

I Just Had Sex (feat. Akon) I love it!!
