This weekend I....
- drank LOTS of water. I drank at least 3 X 800 ml bottles every day. I've just had my first mug of tea for the WEEKEND. Right there is a miracle.
- made lots of these. Dare I say I'm now tired of them? Actually I'm not tired of them; I just did too many at one time after a whole morning of Santa Shoeboxing.
- organised kids' clothes. They are both sorted for summer and we decluttered a whole basket full of clothes. I also made sets of clothes for the week.
- I'm losing my excitement for the capsule wardrobe because the whole counting thing is doing my head in. 54 work pieces and 60-something casual things, besides shoes, bags and scarves..... did anyone else count?
- finally took photos of the Santa Shoebox contents so I could seal them up and tidy my study. Enjoyed the process a lot more this year as I limited the boxes but made each one a bit more meaningful :)

| The Bambanani girls might recognise the second box - my gift from my friend A was in this box (I cut off about 5 cm and then it was the perfect size) |
I also did filing. I prefer to only do it once a year but I was inundated with work papers due to leaving.... and entering the job force so it came 3 months early this year. This is my nearly 8 cm pile.
And last, but not least, I've been wearing this colour for a week. It was an impulse buy at Clicks. It's called Mint Tropics from the Sinful Colours range and is R27,95. I went back and forth in my mind because I have about 5 green shades already but I'm so glad I got it. You know how a colour can look so good but is just wrong for your skin tone? Well, this one is just perfect for my skin.
Also I did the base coat first and that is how it lasted a week! Base - two coats, and I only added a top coat on Thurs when one nail (I call it my Sellotape nail) chipped a tiny bit.
What's happening around your parts?
Are you enjoying the heat? Or cold?
I VERY nearly send you covers for your birthday but looking at the size of those, my prototypes are waaaaaaay too small. I may have used the kids castanets as a model...
ReplyDeleteWe are welcoming in the cold! I love fall! There's talk of a terrible winter and I'm so excited! I have banana bread in the oven now and we started to pull out the winter clothes. A first for the ladies, we've found a new store (that I loved) that just sizes clothes way to large and loose for my petite ladies. :( Now to find time to take them all back, gah!
Castanet Covers? OH I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH!
DeleteYour boxes are looking great - well done!
ReplyDeleteI am LOVING the warmer weather. Things are heating up at secret place...I am watching developments with great interest. ;-)
LOL I think of you with this "spring" weather.
DeleteWe've been dealing with sickness AGAIN. I've been trying to run consistently. Just living life I guess!

You have been super busy. Just the idea of counting my clothing does my head in...so I am not going to even go there.
ReplyDeleteLove your boxes and my those castanets are beautiful. And I am not even going to go near the capsule wardrobe but I am going to note what I wear and how I combine things.
ReplyDeleteLovely productive weekend you had. Right now there's a cold front coming so I'm bracing for that. Also trying to keep the lurgies at bay - the weather change seems to wreak havoc with that! I still haven't registered for SSB! Eish. Must do ASAP.
ReplyDeleteI love the nailpolish! I'm rocking a purplish-grey as fall is coming here. I have to touch them up already as they chipped very quickly, ugh! On the capsule wardrobe thing, don't do the counting. I think what I'm interested in doing is understanding what are the basics I wear and then I can cull the other items out of the wardrobe that I don't wear.
