come back to the world...

well it's more like welcome to my world, but the Tevin Campbell song was way cooler.

a series of looks into things in my life.

my desk at school

it usually has paper and cut outs all over it, coz i'm always making things for my classroom or for students. but today was pretty tame as i am only here for 1 whole day this week. i always have water at my desk and in the fridge - other teachers think it's strange, sorry i don't like drinking wheatbix juice (ocha). i always have coffee too. in my cute cup.  my pencil case is fun, and i had one student copy me and buy one. it holds everything, including my green highlighters and 0.5mm pens.

my drawer

i can't resist cute stationary, and i live in the land of the cute so all the better for me! i love post-its too. berocca is essential, but i'm rationing now - my supply is dwindling. coffee is always in my draw and stickers for my kids and lots of pens and markers.

my handbag yo.

my cute forever 21 wallet i got from a friend for my birthday. love it. it's so me - green and purple with sequins. books for reading on the train or when i am super bored - obviously Marian Keyes right now. ointment for mosquito bites..summer is on the way and i will be eaten alive. my cute pasifika pouch (another birthday present which i love) filled with lipbalm and gloss, and a wee mirror (xmas present, again i love!). i'm always all over the place going from school to school so coffee sachets are a must. camera (which i haven't used since xmas) dolce and gabana light blue. clinique face refresher. migraine pills (prone like a mother). "imported" tampons in a cute tin. my new obsession body moisturiser i brought on base. sunglasses. earphones that plug into my iphone, you can't see it coz it's never in my bag. it's always in my hand.

peace and presents.

whips and chains excite me..

stress-city. so much to do, ample time but procrastination gets in the way.

on a learning curve, learning about me, others, actions and reactions. still getting the hang of it and the training wheels are still on, but will hopefully come off soon.

chilling out to Rihannas S&M (which is my new karaoke song - i was a karaoke hog last weekend, a first!).

rice field reflections

i'm also watching the office and wondering why i haven't worked in an office with Dwight and Jim. i have actual LOL's every episode. almost as good as modern family, but you know i love me some modern family!

peace and chains 



baby i'm back.

i'm back...well almost.

re-thinking my blog purpose and in need of an overhaul (the blog not me - well maybe me too).

so, changes ahoy- with a wooden leg and parrot on my shoulder.

in the mean time, some things i'm looking forward to..

• the warmer weather, finally it's not freezing like all the diggity time, and i can paint my toenails different colours and wear sandals and jandels
• finishing my week and half of holidays relaxing in and around home
• having more curly hair days in preparation for summer when i can't straighten it anymore
• enjoying the last few weeks (dare i say months) of my hair staying straight after i straighten it
• watching copious amounts of tv
• reading all 90 of the magazines i brought when i was on base
• playing touch in the late spring sun and getting my black (ok very red and perhaps slightly tan) on
• summer beer, cocktails in a can and the beach
• wearing my new H&M purchases.

i'm on a 90's (early 00's) female R&B nostalgia buzz right now, feasting my ears on these...

Lauren Hill - Sweetest thing
Shola Ama - Need somebody
Brandy - I wanna be down
TLC - Diggin on you
Taiana Ali - Knock me out
Blaque - 808
Tamia - Officially missing you
Aaliyah - Rock the boat
Destinys Child - Say my name
Mariah Carey - Dreamlover
SWV- Right here (human nature)

peace and 90's hair.

Heartbroken...my laptop decided to die last week...so until I get a new one, my iPhone will be doing all my interweb bidding!

And I have so much to share.

Until I get my mac (yup I'm changing over to the darkside!) I'm on hiatus!

Hasta mañana

Peace.

weekend thing..

thank heeey-zues it's the weekend.

I've been thrown back into this les miserables winter from a glorious 3 weeks in a fantastic southern hemisphere summer...depression much?! I kid, but I did have a pretty "exciting" first week back...crashed my car - well slid on some ice into a ditch at 1am, fell over in the convenience store and pulled a muscle in my quads and just it's so damn cold! But I'm not going to moan to much...coz it's the weekend and I intend to have some fun tonight.

So to get me and maybe you in the mood these are a collection of shots (not the kind you drink) from my fantastic summer holiday....and maybe my new hair will feature. enjoy.

actually that's it.

more coming soon. pinky swear.

peace and cocktails.

boom i'm on my way....boom i'm coming home...

(the title may or may not be paraphrased lyrics from a Ginuwine song).

In my inbox this morning, in my honor.

Made me laugh and made my day - all day.

Let's sweet mothers - all day.


***PRESS RELEASE – BELIEVE THE HYPE!***

Facebook, Entertainment Tonight, Campbell Live and Twitter are all reporting a recent rumor of a returning Kiko for the Xmas Season.


Deported to Japan last year in July/August-ish as a spy in Japanese schools, Kiko BOOM San of the Orphanage Kiko Base will be taking Land of the Long White Cloud leave. Due to her thorough investigation into the corruption of the origami paper company (that caused papers cuts) also being owned by the band-aid/plaster industry, Kikos gotsta lay low (like her disguise below).


On behalf of the Kiko’s collective I demand that you BELIEVE THE HYPE! In honor of a returning Kiko to the BIG 04 next week, there will be a Kiko’s Copious Amount of Kai for Christmas at Sweet Mothers Kitchen @ 6.30pm on Tuesday 21 December after work.

all that glitters....

Ok well, maybe not all that glitters...i'm not really huge on glitter actually...but I love earrings. BIG earrings. BRIGHT earrings. Earrings that have PURPOSE!

So, my new (ok, not so new) thing, ok let's rephrase - todays new thing to talk about is wearing big earrings, I don't do small - it's either all or nothing.

Yeah..there are lots of pics of my face. Get used to that.

a pair of earrings for every occassion, outing, swimming, snorkeling (there is no pic here but it happened), playing with babies, posing....

and the conveniet place where my earrings are displayed.

(sadly half of the green pair - my favourite, is now lost somewhere at a ryoukan in Tokushima..)

Which brings me to my next favourite pair. My neice choose these, she was 6 at the time. She has great taste. Big earrings + hoodies = awesome style and comfort.

With every outfit there is always room for big earrings. (full stop - or period if you are so inclined).

Peace and dangles.
