Remember back in Lisboa?.......

..Remember back in Lisbon where the sun was out and we were looking and acting like celebrities? The last few albums of our holiday finally arrived on facebook this week, and yes I've been going through them ten times over... trying to imagine I'm still there and somehow transport my self back, star trek stylee lol. When that didn't work i started slacking - no gym, no combing of the hair (don't judge me) and no real effort in my appearance but I have given myself that little slap round the face to remind myself that time doesn't wait for anybody! Gotta get organised, put on those heels and stomp to the finish line, right..! :D Well the sun may be gone but lets not lose that holiday attitude ladies!!!

Super Sweet Birthdays!!!

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday!

So my birthday came and went by and I did my best to do something very minimal as I vowed after my 21st that I will not do anything grand. It only draws more attention to the fact that I am getting older lol.

On the actual day, I spent the day shopping with my cousin then stopping off at Jamie Oliver's new Italian restaurant in Westfield, where my mummy treated us all. We then headed back home for some good old cake and some more family. It was more of a celebration of my next steps in life; turning 22, finishing Uni... What next?? who knows?!

Friday just gone... My lovely friends treated me to a lovely picnic in a park in Central London then free drinks at Moose Bar (that's how we do) and then we moved onto a club. The night was relaxed and chilled, how I like it, with my close friends near by! :D Simples!

It was only till just about 10 minutes ago, after watching a marathon of My Super Sweet 16 (which I've never watched before) that I started getting annoyed by all these little brat kids having huge birthday celebrations to show off to class mates and the world that they have it all! yeah, I know, I'm hating!

But still!

These kids are getting BMW convertibles, Rolexes, luxury apartments, £20,000 worth of jewellery, the list goes on, for their birthdays and I'm sitting in my living room shaking my head in disbelief!

My parents have brought me up to work for the things I want in life. Don't get me wrong, they spoil me too, just not to that extent where kids throw a tantrum when the don't get what they want.

I am empathetic enough to know what my parents have been through to get the money they have today, and would hate for them to be forking out money constantly just to please me.

Half these kids are so spoilt that they know that whatever they want, they can get it whenever they want it.... If I had ever demanded to my mum the way they do, I know I would have gotten her back hand! lmao

Anyways, their parents have the means to support their lavish and expensive lifestyles, so good on them, I just worry what it means for these kids, if and when it is time for them to stand on their own two feet in the real world, where they have to work with other members of society, because already communication between these kids and other people besides their friends (who are mesmerized by their richness) are disgraceful where by the don't even talk to people but rather talk AT them as if they are insignificant beings to them!

Anyways, I'm ranting on about nonsense here, So I'm off to eat,

Catch you ladies later!

Gowns and Mortar boards

Soooo Graduation day finally came and despite all the worries and troubles .. the day was like a page in a storybook, worth the wait! Its so important to recognise your achievements whatever they may be and the ceremony did just that, as much as I want to blow up the damn university, for a moment I felt part of something to be proud of :D All the men looked smart for once and nearly all the ladies followed the beauty is pain commandment in their heels. I noticed as I watched the shoes go by that there were some ugly flat ones but the majority of ladies added a splash of personality with their heels, which is what I love about fashion- we may all be wearing the same uniform whether its our skin colour, eye colour, body shape or gown and mortar board but you can always shine! I'm not usually a fan of rules and tradition but i felt so comfortable in my graduate uniform- i could rock the gown all year round!! Wear it 99 different ways-team it with trousers and boots in the winter or a cute dress and heels in the summer and you're ready to party like its 1899! hahahhaah ps. mortar board is that hat thing if anyone was wondering :D

Trendy Toddler!

So its Monday.. Time to swap my leather jacket for my blazer..

I had a great day yesterday. Went to visit some family in oxford, in particular my gorgeous god daughter! It had been too long and we had so much to catch up on ... Her new puppy, her birthday plans and fashion of course! O and she's 2yrs going on 33, I mean 3 yrs old by the way. As I painted her nails with her choice of Rimmels 'green with envy' to match her dress (her words not mine) it got me thinking fashion victims are getting younger and younger! I remember the days I would be happy skipping about in an aunties hand made dress with a matching cardigan. These days babies are rocking skinny jeans!!

Maybe I'm just hating on trendy toddlers but is it time we thought about how are obsessions impact kids and go back to basics ? Or is it best kids are introduced to the fashion world sooner rather than later?

Xuna a-la-Crop is Back!

Hope everyone is feeling ok! Just been analysing and planning out the next steps I'm taking in life, and with a positive mind frame, everything will be alright! Its only been recently that I've understood the importance of writing things down, as it makes it all visible and concrete, not only future plans, but emotions and everyday analysis. I'm starting to understand myself a little bit better too! Hmmm I think I'm taking my career aims to be an analyst too far.... But they do say, act like you already have it!

D, I'm with u on your post; Life is indeed great! And its us who makes it great!

Anywayssssss..... Hence the title of this post.... I'm back a-la-crop! Yes... Feel like me again! Refreshed and ready for the next step! :D

Until next time ladies... Xxx

Ok! So it has been some time since I have posted on here but it wasn't my fault! Stupid exams took over my life! But last week I got my results and I PASSED! Actually I smacked them but I don't want to blow my own horn lol. Now I'm officially free! The last free weeks have been amazing! First, Portugual, then Wireless! Which has actually made my year! I'm in love with J. Cole, don't mind Xuna he's mine! lol. And since then I literally wake up everyday and something just turns up like tickets to the theatre... so Life is Great! xxx

Boo! Coco's turns 220! I mean 22!

Parabens Boo CoCo!!!!!!

So yesterday, me, Superwoman and a couple of friends took it upon ourselves to surprise Boo for her birthday and it went pretty well considering the location and the exclusive room we was given to celebrate in! ohhhhh the high life.

The shock on her face was quality!

So, I'm sitting in the surgery, waiting for my 3rd and second to last injection that I need before I go to Angola. And oooohhhhhh... Am I dreading the pain :( only thing getting me through my anxiety is the thought of me touching down there in less than 3 week! Home sweet home or not so home sweet home?!

After all, I have never been there, and have lived here in the UK all my life... But there is where my parents lived and grew up, there is where my heritage resides, though unlike my parents, I can't call Angola my home. In some sense, I feel lost :s Hmmmmm... Maybe its the jabs in my body talking.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away"

What a moment I had yesterday! It all started as a normal Thursday - at work, a training day and then I began to day dream. Wouldn't it be nice to escape the computer screen and run around in the sunshine... ok maybe not run just stroll lol. Nehoo 2 minutes later Xuna messaged me on my Blackberry and said Diva has 3 free theatre tickets for a show in less than an hours time!!! I said well I could be out early today (wishful thinking)... next thing I knew the training man said lets wrap it up here and instead of going back to the office I ran away... and next thing I knew was on a bus to Piccadilly!haha

You really have to grab each opportunity and run with it! We all met at the theatre and ran in just on time. If you're ever in central London I suggest you go and see this production. 'HAIR'... based on the 70s. Quite low scale and alternative but we loved ittt!! It really made my afternoon ;D
You wouldn't believe how easy it is to live the high life on a budget- we discovered this in Lisbon but it can work in London too. In the last week we have had free drinks, a half price meal , got free theatre seats and walked the red carpet! Its always worth signing up to websites and visiting student sites for special offers. No one need know what's really in your purse ;) From now on me and the girls have made a vow to always be ready for randomness like this... we only live once after all!
Friday today... finally get to see boo coco! been too long girlll... i think a meeting plus wiiine is in order to discuss our future outings! i agree Xuna- so much to do before we are 30!!! woooooop woooooop .. C u later xxxxxx
