Here are just a few things I am loving at the the moment -
1. Churros - I first discovered churros, which are a type of spanish donut, when I lived in California years ago. Now I have found that some local restaurants have them on the menu (the best place to try them in Cape Town is at French Toast). I absolutely love them, preferably with chococlate dipping sauce.

2. Fleetwood Mac - When I was a a teenager, I remember often being woken up by the sound of Fleetwood Mac being blasted on the downstairs stereo (yup, my mom was cool like that). For a while "my mothers music" really annoyed me, but over time I really grew to love Fleetwood Mac (though I can't be sure if its just a result of brainwashing - hehe). Recently I started listening to Fleetwood Mac again and I am absolutely loving it - Stevie Nicks voice is so unique and their music is so timeless. My favourite album is "Rumours"

(Note: I heard that Glee recently covered Fleetwood Mac songs - I need to watch that and see if they rocked or ruined them)
3. Braided hair - During winter my hair does not behave as much as I would like, so I often turn to good 'ol braiding to get my hair to look neat - Doing a side braid is my favourite.
4. Over decorated wrists - I adore very decorated wrists and I also really like the way the jewellery sounds when it jingle jangles together (i try not to think about the jewellery getting scratched as it knocks toegther...happy thoughts) *winks*
5. Celebrating stuff - May is full of personal celebrations for me: It's my birthday month, the month I met my boyfriend (5 years ago) and the month I wrote my first blog post (which was three years ago now).... So, I intend to eat alot of good food and drink plenty of champagne this month.
6. A good, frothy cappucino - yes please. yum, yum.
7. My new cookbook - Since Im trying hard not to repeat myself these days, I will direct you over here - which is where I rambled about it yesterday.
8. Hot pink lips - I had a serious case of lipstick envy when I saw Emma Stone's hot, pink lipcolour at this years Met Gala - sooo pretty.
9. Adjustable and pretty bedside lamps - I like to read in bed, and sometimes it annoys me that I can't adjust the lighting and have a pretty bedside lamp (am i alone here?) - Then I spotted the above lamp and thought "ooooh, a pretty bedside reading lamp". Love it.


Umm... love that Fleetwood Mac album. Always used to listen in college while doing work (that might have been a bad thing ;))
ReplyDeleteChocolate dipping sauce?!! You so speak my language :). I wonder if they make churros in Johannesburg... must find out.
ReplyDeleteI'm also an "in-bed-reader" and we have terrible reading lamps, am always on the lookout for something pretty - but more functional!! :)
