Weekend Learning's

A weekend full of gifts of plenty. Smiles, hearts and happiness.

I only look forward to a Monday when I know that I can write my Weekend Learning’s Yay! And this was a huge weekend for me. Well it was just very very busy. After an incredibly tough week at work it was nice to keep busy and spend the weekend with all my favourite people. Here are some of the things I learnt.

• InToto is a gorgeous new gallery in Birdhaven. Checkout the exhibition She@InToto, of women by women, stunning. Also the wonderful Sharon Sampson has a work there. Go, now.
• When I eventually have my own place, I want a wooden swing over my swimming pool. Just ‘cause.
• The Nail and Body Lab in Blubird shopping center in Illovo is still the best in Jozi. Perfect French voetjies makes for a happy Coco!
• Another fascinating Art exhibition on at the moment is the ground breaking Diane Victor at the UJ Art Gallery. She creates works by manipulating the smoke from burning candles. Moving!
• A Quote from Diane Victor which inspired me; “Draw the image out for yourself, smoke it out!” the exhibition closes this Wednesday where you can meet and debate with the wonderful Diane Victor, see you there. (yes I might go again so what? *sigh)
• Passionately kissing burns 6 calories a minute, A Hershey’s Kiss (One of my favourite chocolates!) has 26 calories. It takes 4 minutes of kissing to burn off a Hershey’s Kiss. Don't mind if I do MWAH!
• It is fun to bump into old friends at lunch. Especially when they surprise you by buying you gifts fit for a designer. Thank you Josh for my Pantone Postcard Box I am in love!
• I love a good double Espresso... I just do.
• Sunday at the Cricket is divine. It is still my favourite sport and spent with my favourite people at my favourite stadium Wanderers rounded off an almost perfect weekend.

Have a great week, jump the picket fence people, you only live once!

Weekend Learning's

Balloons, I love them.

 A little weekend Learning’s never killed anyone right? To be honest the weekends would be that much better if I didn’t have to go back to work on the Monday. Ew. This is what I learned;

• I love the Cricket. Yes I am one of those girls who happily enjoys sports and screw you if you don’t like it. I wear white to test matches.
• Men who act like children upset me.
• I love how dead Jozi is at this time of year. A lot of people are gone and my city is peaceful and delightful.
• Byzance is a secret gem is Lonehill which looks over a picturesque lake. Its beauty reminds me of Knysna... I smell a little Knysna trip in my future.
• "Expectation is the root of all heartache." William Shakespeare.
• I miss you. Dammit.
• I am SUPER excited for my sudden New Year plans. Jozi infiltrating Cape Town isn’t really my idea of a holiday anymore. Vom.
• The simple idea of no cell phone reception is the most exciting realisation of my holiday!
• I think its scary when couples start to match. Matching phones, matching outfits, similar speak... Come on darling arn’t you your own person? Pathetic really.
• I still love seeing balloons. Even if it is one silly red balloon running away on the highway. Blissfully depressing and wonderfully romantic.
• Life is so much more enjoyable now that I’ve decided I just don’t give a fuck.

Have a stunning last week butterflies.

Xoxo
