Pretty Pretty Rose Shaped Ring via Jewel Me Pretty
I am excited to be one week closer to returning to study, I am really looking forward to this years papers and semester one starts on March the 1st. This will also mean cutting out full time coffee making, which is a reasonably interesting job but still rather exhausting. I was lucky enough to snag a three day weekend this week though, and it has been pure indulgence.
Short Stories
Taking more photos, it is awesome having pretty pictures to look back on, and I love uploading and sharing them. The only downside is that I haven’t figured out which batteries won’t die obscenely quickly. ♦ I added a farewell party for a friend who is moving to Thailand (wow), the party was held at my favourite Honey Bar where the cocktails are divine & I can order a Vodka, cherries & soda (swapping out the standard lime).
I love cooking breakfast, scrambled eggs on toast for cheap! I make good scrambled eggs and my boyfriend was pleased. ♦ Since I upgraded my laptop to Windows 7, ditching Vista, it’s actually become usable. Vista really is a complete dog. The best part is that I can now run Adobe Suite on my laptop which means ease of editing photos to use on this blog. ♦ NZ Marketing Magazine is a fantastic read and I am thinking of subscribing. ♦ My boyfriend is attempting to teach me how to DJ, it really is rather difficult. There is a lot you need to be paying attention to! ♦ I visited a lovely tea house for tea & scones. Pictures will follow. ♦ Spa & wine nights are my favorite evening activity. Waking up to a seriously amazing cooked breakfast was the cherry on top. ♦ Glasson’s launched their 2010 Breast Cancer Research Tee’s. These tee’s are designed by some of New Zealand’s top designers, and for each tee purchased $10 is donated to breast cancer research. You can buy them online here. I am hoping to pick one up soon.

I did a lot more web browsing this week & so, for your viewing pleasure:
- Why Men Use Prostitutes. A report based on the findings of a recent study. Interesting read.
- Did you know that Gwyneth Paltrow has a website? It’s called Goop and is a collection of things to make, see, get, do & be.
- Already Pretty posted a neat article on keeping your clothes in a nice & fresh condition at home.
- This was posted on Imaginary Socialite, How to Crash a Party, and it’s funny & clever. In general, IS is a pretty fun blog.
- Someone Once Told Me is a fantastic blog. Think Post Secret, but for things people have been told by others.
- What if you’re just not that into him?
- The Happy Hour Tour visited New Zealand & had nice things to say about our happy hours.

- This jewelery is amazing! If you are looking for something unique & high quality then you must check these out.
- Great post on following your instincts by Dramatis Personae.
- Lemon Soda brings the goods with looking decent on no sleep.
- For laughs, the entire ‘Get A Mac’ campaign has been published here, cataloged by year. I am a Mac fan on a PC. Sighhh.
- Interesting psychology read, the top 10 common faults in human thought.
- Very Mary Kate. The unofficial biography of Mary Kate Olsen. Funny fake videos about MK’s life.
In all finality, have an awesome weekend and share a short story with me! Until next week,

Herro! I just read your comment (thanks!) on my humble blog, so i thought I’d
come on over and check out your own blog
That ring is so pretty! Is it wrong that I feel the urge to eat it?
Oh wow, I would LOVE to learn how to DJ! I’d probably be too unco to master it, but damn it looks like fun.
And vodka with cherries?! Um..yum! Cherries are quite the underrated fruit if you ask me.
I share your interest in tights. I have quite an extensive collection, but many of them are getting holes in them. sadface. I love how an interesting pair can jazz up an otherwise so-so outfit.I also like that they can be quite slimming!

Ooh, those drinks look fantastic! And girl, you need to get yourself a Mac! I was forced to use a PC when I was still in school studying business (Microsoft Office just works better on those), but switched back immediately after and never had problems since.
