THE DAY PLAN : I started my day with the gym and then finally completed my Module 3 and submitted it - awaiting my result with bated breath.

When I got up yesterday morning, I was not sure I wanted to go to gym.  I kinda debated it with myself in my head and then decided to go because I knew I feel much better after I've been.  I then decided to tick off another item on my October Action List and try something new at gym.  My something new was a Rebounding class.  I saw it in action for a few minutes last week and thought it would be fun.  Well it was fun and I laughed a lot because I was simply unable to get the co ordination right to do some of the exercises, but I enjoyed it immensely and I if my schedule allows, I shall be doing it again next week.  I must say - 'my alles is seer' (my everything is sore).

Some info about Rebounding in the link above :

 

NASA research found rebounding to be 68% more efficient than running on a treadmill!

 

Just 2 minutes of rebounding offers equivalent physiological benefits as: 6 minutes of running -  10 minutes of swimming and 22 minutes of walking!

 

In just 2 minutes of rebounding – the entire lymphatic system is flushed out and the white blood cell count nearly triples, providing a greater defence system to destroy cancer cells.

 

It was our monthly sistas dinner last night and yet again we went to Casa Rossi.  Norma was curious to see how it would be after the previous manager had left. 

 

Sadly, except that the food was up to its usual standard, the rest of it was disappointing.  The restaurant was very empty and had no atmosphere.  The music was insipid.  The service was slow. 

THE VERDICT : I don't believe I've ever worn denim on denim in my adult life, or at least, not that I can remember.    In my head I clearly see the pictures of Brittney and Justine in their matching denim on denim look and it kinda makes me cringe and hope I don't look as bad.  Will look back on this in a month or two and possibly shudder.  Not sure I'm wild about it, but today I thought I'd give it a try.

Belt : Foschini

I'm celebrating ... its the last work day of the year for me ... don't be fooled, I'll work much harder at home, but at least I'm the 'boss' there ...lol.

Jodi has not photobombed for a while so it was cute when she joined us this morning ... just getting her to stop scratching was a bit of a mission.  She really smiles at me when she sits in front of me like this.  So cute she is ... but she's getting old now and battling to stand up quickly.  I find it so sad.

Now as its the home stretch, let me finish tidying my desk and office and all the bits I need to get done ... have a super day now.

I feel fabulous in this outfit.  I have hummed and haaaed about buying white pants and finally decided to go for it.  Oh my, I'm so going back to Woolies for a few more pairs of these in other shades, they are super comfy and if you have hips like me, they fit so well over the area, not pulling or biting ... divine.  So all you curvy gals, get to woolies now and grab a pair.  You'll get your moneys worth of wear out of them over the summer and with Christmas, New Year, pool parties and braais on the way, they'll work for all the outings including dressing them up for work.

The shoes stole my heart on Saturday when I passed by Meltz.  We'd gone to buy Liam a desk and then stopped off for lunch, which took us past Meltz, so I had to go and have a look.  They had these shoes in Teal and Taupe as well but Schatz said I should go for these coral ones.  They're just such 'happy' shoes.  I am smitten.  My domestic worker squealed when she saw them ... I think it we wore the same size shoe she'd simply redistribute half my shoes to her closet.

I did some birthday present shopping yesterday and also some Christmas decorations shopping.  I need to add a few more items to my table centre piece and put a nail in the door to hang the wreath.  I am going to start getting the decorations out of storage and sorting through them.  I dont' think I 'need' to buy any more decorations, but the 'want' may take over.

So let me get started with the other needs of the day - hope your Monday is fabulous!

I'm joining up at Pattis Visible Monday over at Not Dead Yet Style as I really feel any but invisible in this outfit today.

Casual skinnies with a peplum on the weekend

Today we decided to finally go and visit Arts on Main ... I've been wanting to go there on the weekend after being taken there for lunch last year on Secretaries Day.

 

Finally, we went.  I saw some lovely items and came away with some cool ideas to make for the house.  There are a few items I'm considering returning for ... but I'll mull it over a little longer. 

 

There was an interesting array of food on offer and many colourful characters about.  Schatz and I both love old buildings, so the architecture really appealed to us and we enjoyed the display that was on at Goethe on Main.

As you can see I'm desperately in need of a cut (the clipped up hair more that twice in a week is a big telltale sign).  My hairdresser has been on leave the past week, so I can't wait to see her this week.  I'm now wondering what to do with it ...maybe something like this

 

 

or ... ?? not sure, but I'll come up with something, worst case, I'll just get it trimmed.  But in the back of my mind, I seem to stuck on a style go round.  Suggestions?

 

Hope your weekend was fabulous!
