Weekend Learning's

Bye summer loving, Hi autumn snuggles.
Yay... at the end of the day, there are always kisses.

First weekend of March. Sad to see the month of love go. It ended off with a bang at the Design Indaba, making me feel both very strongly about things and totally aggressive about others. A mixed bag. Then again March also means travel for Coco. NEW YORK NEW YORK and LONDON TOWN! Prrr woof! So much to look forward to. The mediocre day to day acts of living will just have to be surpassed by tightening my blinkers and keeping view of the future. And my is it bright! This is what I learned;

• I live in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me here.
• I like a cool, calm and collected home environment on the weekends. A chilled Saturday morning ticking off my To Do list and then relaxing with my pups is a perfect way to unwind. The calmer the weather the better. I have enough stress in the week, lets keep it to those 5 days and those 5 days only.
• Appetence. (n.) an eager desire, an instinctive inclination, and attraction or a natural bond. Finally, a word to describe what we have.
• I like seeing people singing in their cars and on the streets with their headphones on. Eyes closed mouths wide open with only their own sweet voice ringing true, I smile.
• Im a technological whore. Some might call this a geek, whatever. If Design Indaba has taught me one thing, I'm proud to be a smart, intelligent woman in a technological age and I can do more with a computer than most females. And Female Designers are such a rare and dying breed, all these female designers getting married and popping out spawn to give up their career… Good God… priorities!?
• "Be Brave enough to start a conversation that matters." - Maragret Wheatley
• I secretly cannot wait for winter. I know… I just want to wear my boots and cuddle and hibernate, so what?!
• They make you fear your imperfections, but in fact they are the diamonds of your being.
• "If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane." - John Green.
• This is going to be a real kicker- I really like it when people are genuinely excited to meet me after hearing a lot about me from family or friends. I know. Lame. But it's a nice feeling, thanks for liking little Coco me.
• "People protect what they love." - Jacques Cousteau. So what will you protect?

Have a fantastic first week of March bonbon's.

xoxo

PS. We have red boomerang love

Totally... get the hint? MINE!

Hey, your skin, little bird... our nest.

A bit of a mixed bag of a weekend. A blast from the past, a thread Coco isn't willing to sew and weather that honestly will force me to stay in the house like a hibernating little bird in a nest of pillows! What is happening to Spring Mother Nature? Coco needs a tan, her bikinis are begging to come out. Anyway, this is what i learned;

• Getting two bouquets of flowers in one week at the office was humbling. I've realized that romance is not dead out there, I've just been looking for it in the wrong places. Thank you for showing me. And yes, a bunch of flowers is still a simple but wonderful way to show the girl you care! A million points and big smiles from Coco. xoxo
• Everyone named Leroy is unique. I know this from experience! Even our taxi driver on Friday night, he likes to sing Justin Bieber while he drives and called me 'Darling Miss Jacqui' before he had even met me. Fabulous.
• Coco loves to dance.
• Why is it that when we make big decisions and we build huge walls and have armies of a million burly one eyed men and we lock our glass houses… does it all melt away like butter on toast with that one hot and heart thumping look. And the music stops. And the world stops turning. And you forget what it was you were fighting for… "Merde!"… (When Coco feels passion she thinks in French in default… "merde" is French for "shit!")
• What is the worlds obsession with truffle oil? Its permeation is disgusting! It physically makes me sick. I do not care how expensive and rare it is, it tastes like dirty socks which have been sitting in the soil and then kept in a moldy dead animal box for ten years and then sprinkled on my poor, unsuspecting food. Keep it away from me! Vom!
• "Maybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go. Its gonna hurt. Its gonna hurt because it matters." John Green.
• People come in and out of your life. People leave your life because that chapter is done. People come back into your life because their chapter in your life isn't over…
• Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.
• The XX's new album is so emotive that it pulls at every heart string. It almost feels like they've been sitting on my shoulder for the last few months writing about my life… damn you XX you got me AGAIN… sigh.
• They have officially started building my cottage! It is too exciting the thought of my own space… one small brick for Coco one giant leap for Coco's independence. My Pinterest "House" section is growing in leaps… creams and lights are the colour of the future.
• On that note I think I'm going to become a tiler…
• I am loving Coco's new Tumblr blog. Its a picture extension of Cocobutton. I am obsessed! Check it out {here}.

Have a fantastic week furry friends!

xoxo
