In pursuit of food and travel

New magazine Cereal Milk is so beautiful I want to climb right in and get lost inside its pages. Preferably sipping on actual Momofuku cereal milk (if his cornflake ice-cream is anything to go by, combined with my craving for full cream organic milk, this could easily develop into an addiction).

Guest post: Painting

I am going to paint my workspace at home. No more debating, it is going to be done. I a a bit nervous because the room is so small but I am desperate for a very dark wall in the house (and the husband is having none of it in the bedroom!).

PS. I think Ill post some pics once it is done, so look out. 

Love what you do

Hi Friday*

Hello lovely readers. The end of another week and we find ourselves in the latter half of February. It was a tough week at work for me (and is not over yet!) - which involved, among other things, a trip to Roodepooort (oh gosh!), damage control, and 4 big business proposals. So I am pretty pleased it's Friday. This weekend I am spending time with family and friends and getting my hair done (long over due!) and taking time to be thankful for all the blessings around me.

Here are some good links from around the web if you feel like a bit of browsing:

Cheska's beautiful wedding invitations featured on Seven Swans blog today

Live feed of tweets around the world. Fascinating to watch (but exhausting)

How the languages we speak change the way we think.Something to keep in mind in this melting pot we live in.  

I am a sucker for old fashioned romance

Foods you should never eat (and which are pretty easy to avoid)

Hair inspiration (since I am long overdue for some expert help (hence my weekend activity), I find braiding a great solution)

I need to cook some fresh new things

Now that two babes are on the way, babe things have found themselves onto my wish list - how lovely are these clothes (the French really know how to dress kids)

Back to adult stuff - I heart Marc Jacobs

xoxo
