"it's very funny!"

yes. time to get back to my fairy princess house, where there are magic fairies who do all the cleaning and the pixies take care of the garden roses and there are iced cupcakes to eat everyday with peppermint chocolate tea.

let's never grow up.

Today I'm going to a puppy party. But I don't own a puppy. It's a funny story. More to come later... Happy Monday

Happy Halloween

On Friday night when i got back from gym, I developed a severe neck pain. i took a break from gym yesterday but it still is pretty painful today and kind of makes me creak my neck out like a dyslexic meerkat. Anyway this new horrid condition plus the (obnoxious) halloween costumes that we have been made to wear the entire month have resulted in this:

a perfect little halloween treat.

im glad that worked out so well.

trick or treat

7 things

7 things I've learnt this week:

1. Trying to re-enact a university story is probably not a good idea and will probably get you kicked out of a bar.
2. Being super consistent with going to the gym will make you feel awesome.
3. In any creative field, there is no such thing as "qualified-professional". You have a style and it is always changing, evolving and improving as you do. Even the most experienced "professionals" are always learning.
4. It is possible to convert digital images to lomography style images using photoshop. but it is a gross form of cheating. and definitely not as much fun :)
5. Narrow-minded people are just. narrow. minded.
6. Birthday present shopping is completely fun if you know what you want to get. and completely stressful if you don't.
7. There are only 55 days to Christmas!

I'm a cheater.

I know it's cheating... but I've been playing around with lomography-style/cross processing effects photoshop tutorials so that you can "turn" your digital pics into lomo-esque pics

BEFORE:

AFTER:

this was just my first quick/rough attempt - will show more when I have tweaked a few things and done a few more pics :) hope everyone is having a great weekend...

from africa, with love

just a little label thing i made for some gifts from africa for my friends...

(ps if some of these niknaks were for you and you haven't received them yet... they are probably gone.)

If you have some 'african-gifts' to give away or if you just want to be fancy and you need a set of these labels - just send me a mail and I'm happy to share the love :)

 happy africa :)
