Let The Good Times Roll…

Wooo hooo, finally it is here, the day I thought would never come. It is the last working day of the year and what a year it has been. One rollercoaster ride with many ups, downs and a few loop-de-loops, but here I am in one piece to tell the tale.

As of tomorrow, well maybe this afternoon, it’s all about good people, good times and good champagne, mixed with lots of fun in the sun and most definitely much relaxing.

Normally around this time, Pop Tart, Crazii and I would be finding any excuse to have a party or celebration including a pre Christmas party party. However this year as we are scattered around the world we will have to start some new traditions with some fabulous new friends I've made along the way, but ones that will always include a toast or two to traditions past.

Clark Kent and I have already kicked things off by totally embracing the Christmas spirit, Christmas tree, check
Flashing lights, check
Santa hats, check
Loads of crackers, check
Presents, check
Lots of champagne, check
Playing tourist in our own Country, check
Next, Christmas music…
And that’s just the beginning, I have a feeling this is going to be one super duper Christmas…

But for now I’d like to wish everyone out there a Very Merry Christmas!


~ Be safe and be merry! ~

Silly Season Essentials

So as it is the 1st of December and officially the start of the silly season, I thought I would put together a list of the essentials one needs to ensure it’s one to remember.

1.    A Christmas Tree covered in flashing lights 
2.    Christmas crackers big and small
3.    Mince pies (AKA flies graveyards)
4.    A Silly Santa hat
5.    A Christmas stocking
6.    Best of Christmas carols CD (Boney M will do)
7.    Family and friends (the more the merrier)
8.    A fully stocked bar with lots of Bubbly
9.    A large amount of food including Turkey and Gammon
10.    A stylish wide brimmed sun hat
11.    A new bikini or swimsuit in an outrageous pattern
12.    Jewellery in a warm gold or rose gold to get you noticed
13.    Wedges should be your footwear of choice
14.    Statement sunglasses are a must have
15.    Don’t forget the presents ☺

So now that you have the basics all that’s left to do is enjoy!

~Happy Silly Season Ya’ll~

I'm Back From Outter Space...

Well peeps, I think I am re-entering the world of sanity… maybe… After months of feeling like I’ve been locked in a padded cell, for my own safety, countless sleepless nights and a number of bottles of bubbly. The magazine is on the printing press and there is nothing more that I can do, so its time to breath and hopefully relax albeit for only a day or too.

But looking forward the silly season is approaching fast and I for one cannot wait…
It means “we’re going on a summer holiday, no more working for a week or two….” And man I can’t wait, it’s been one ball buster of a year, so I’m in some serious need of Sun, Sand, Surf and Fun… not to mention sleep.

It’s that time of year where you are allowed to be crazy and spontaneous, you are encouraged to over indulge and be merry. Even friends who are separated by millions of cubic tones of water are able to feel closer to each other, even while missing them terribly, simply because you know they are doing the same things you are, just in a different time zone.

I don’t care that Santa was created by Coca Cola, Christmas just wouldn’t be the same with out jolly old St Nic, and my dad telling me to leave out a mince pie and a coke….

I can’t wait to put up the tree, sprinkle it with decorations and give it some personality in lights, to spoils those who are close to me and say thanks for putting up with me and sticking around to see what comes next☺
