Its ONE day later... and I'm blogging again! It's a miracle! He hehe

I know to many, many people my challenges are not so challenging but this is me starting to make changes and one day taking on even harder challenges and push myself to the limits I know I can reach. These small challenges are also things to keep me busy and completing something instead of sitting watching T.V! 

There are so many things that I am dying to do and intend on doing them by forcing myself to miss one of my many favourite shows! It's silly and all but I love some of the shows they have running and after a long, tiring day becoming a sack of potatoes on the couch just relaxes me and I forget about all the crap that's going on out there. The only reason why I want to stop some of that is because I actually enjoy doing something and seeing the outcome!

I'm not going to do the four words right now because I should be working but I'm going to try two challenges today and see if I can have one ready to post tomorrow :) Just a bit of crafts!

Chat tomorrow :)

I've been naughty.... Oh goodness! I am so ashamed of myself. I've done two challenges, only two and one of them wasn't even planned.

Time was not on my side last week and energy?? What is that? I don't even know what that word means. I'm twenty and all I want to do is sleep! SO! does anyone have suggestions to help me get my energy levels up and running??? HELP!

Now I could just be miserable and whine about how I haven't done my challenges and complain about that pain in the arse four letter TIME... Or, I could move and tell you about my two tiny little challenges I did and how proud I was to do them. Now as you know I get the weekly challenge from http://www.onlinelifemakeover.com/ and last week was to let my feminine side come out a bit more with heels and lipstick or whatever I felt gave me some spark, well I tend to wear heels and all... ALL THE TIME so I decided I should where a bold, yet my favourite colour Red and my highest heels and so I did!

I think I look quite feminine He he he 


Then seeing as I managed to miss all the challenges I said I would do I took on one that I decided I wanted to do. A friend of mine said he really wanted someone to make cookie monster cupcakes and he would be indebted to whoever made one. Hey hey! I thought I should try it and I accepted the challenge!


The original artist ------>
 <------and I created this! Now I'm no Masterchef but I am pretty proud of this outcome as it was my first time to bake cupcakes! and I made Cookie Monsters!

Find something Random like this and try it! It's great fun and you learn how to improvise.

I went to gym for the first time ever in my entire life with my boyfriend as he LOVES the gym and I could never understand why. It's actually not that bad and somehow I was not in pain the next day... But that challenge is not on just yet... I still need to be dragged back to decide if I enjoy it LOL!

enough for tonight! I am going to try my best to blog more often!

THREE looooong days later.... Oops. It's not by my fault that I haven't been able to blog. Everything was stopping me but I am making sure that does not happen even if I don't sleep... Eeek!!

It's one of those weeks where I feel I need a bit of time on my own and I made that happen! I really have enjoyed it and it has helped me improve on things by thinking everything through. I know everyone out there always recommends it but just be selfish and tell everyone including family that you need me time and if you don't like it tough. Even if its just a few hours! Being at school I used to have that time... Sigh... School, oh how I miss SOME of it! Taking a walk to the park was so much easier and there weren't to many time restraints.

I took on my challenges for the last two days and obviously the new words one two but as I said before I'll give you one of the days *Wink* And I added an extra one. Not a BEEEG project, but it was the one changing my lamps a bit to suit the new colour scheme.

First though are the Photo a day challenges! So for Tuesday it was inside your handbag... Hmmm, I don't actually have a lot in it but here it is:

Then, Wednesday, Is something you do everyday....Well, Seeing as I work.. This is it:
Exciting Huh?? LOL

Alright so that was that challenge done for two days.... And then there, of course is Thursday... Which is today! Oh No! I need to go take a photo! I'll quickly go do that in 5 minutes. Let me finish All my writing on this post and I'll add it to this post when I'm done! Because I can and not because I'm lazy! Actually it's because my Mom will probably kill me if she knew I was taking pictures instead of working! Let's keep that one quiet!

Now for lamp, Its not much different than it was before BUT I did it myself this time and refused to let my Mom help and I was quite proud I got it right even though it's so simple! I used to have a multi-coloured  room because I absolutely adore colour and I'm not worried about being safe. Although, Because I had just turned Twenty I felt I needed to mature my room up a bit and went with neutral colours. It definitely calmed me head down and made me a bit more relaxed. Thank goodness!

<----Here's a before! 
                      AND THEN!...... After---------->
"Its so FLUFFY" and I LOVE it!


Tomorrow is a very sad day for my little family as we are saying goodbye to these two very special angels!Aren't they too precious for words? Atleast the people taking them will love them as much as we do! 7 Weeks old on Saturday! *Big Smiles* 
Once a Scottie owner ALWAYS a Scottie owner!

Now for the Four words! Enjoy!

Reparation: Compensation; amends

Chapatti: A flat thin piece of a kind of bread

Usurp: Take power or a position or right etc. 

Furore: An excited or angry uproar

Some good ones this time! YAY! 

Alright here is Wednesday's picture! Its what I will do to enhance my life!



Walking up this road and back everyday! *SMILE*

Whoop whoop! That's enough for today! Suppose I should get back to work then!

cheerio!

Monday! right now one of the coldest days in South Africa and I am Not a happy chappy! Although I took in my stride and ignored it as much as I could!

YAY! I recieved my Week 2 challenge from //www.onlinelifemakeover.com and somehow needed to start it today even though i only recieved it late this evening. Right, So my challenges for this week are:


This Week's Challenge
I dare you to take a picture every day of the week and to post in on the Pretty Powerful Facebook Fan Page - with a blurp to help us "get it".

The theme for each day is listed below. 

How to do it:

  • Monday:  My lunch
  • Tuesday:  The contents of my handbag
  • Wednesday:  I do this every day
  • Thursday:  Something I could do to enhance my life
  • Friday: The inside of my fridge
Now seeing as I only received the challenges just now I obviously couldn't do the lunch challenge so instead took a picture of my yummy dinner my mom had made! Its one of my favourites!


Its Chicken casserole and for some reason it looks like theres a lot there and theres really not! LOL.

So theres Mondays picture done :D Atleast it's a nice warm meal for the FREEZING evening!

Now, There was also my Four words a day challenge, except i missed Sunday... Which technically means I owe you eight words... Well I think that will just fluster your minds so I'll leave it at four! here they are!:

Pipette: A small glass tube used in a lab!

Kibbutz: A commune in Israel, especially for farming. Mmmmm interesting.

Agglomeration: A Mass of things collected together. I LOVE This word

Tautology: Saying the same thing again in different words EG: You can get the book free for nothing.

Definitely some cool words I could use to confuse some people! LOL This learning words just completes my day Haha! Now A Challenge I'm thinking of adding to this week is changing up my lamps to match my new colour scheme in my room..... I will post a photo of the before soon and then the result when I am done! Whoop. Feeling great Already!

Enjoy your eve!

I'm Here! I have been trying so hard to sit down and start typing this post but every time I start it something needs to be done and off I go again... Shoo!

Alright so after trying so hard to avoid waking up for the sunrise challenge from http://www.onlinelifemakeover.com/  I took advantage of that phone, found out what time the sunrises as I obviously had no clue LOL. It rises at about 06:50 in Johannesburg and so late because it's Winter... Can you imagine how hard it would be for me to wake up if it was in Summer!

Here is the moon before the sunrise... for some reason my PC has added its own effect... Mmmmm.

And then, THE SUNRISE

--------> Pretty right. Thats the view from my window!

There we go! Challenge for Week 1 done! now to wait to receive my next challenge on Monday.

Otherwise I said in my previous post I will be learning four new words a day! How? By grabbing that dictionary, dusting it off and choosing four random pages and whichever word on that page catches my eye first. So, Here are my first four words:

1. Insuperable- Unable to be over-come

2. Dissertation- A long speech or piece of writing about something.

3. Pincer- The claw of a shellfish such as a lobster.

4.Clandestine - Done secretly, kept secretly.

WOW! I did not know that these words existed! This is actually a fun challenge as you can test friends and family on there Vocab! I just tested my mom! You learn something new everyday.

I've decided I might have another challenge to do before Monday. But I'll post that tomorrow *wink*

HELLO! So, I missed a day of blogging. Atleast it's just one day and not 10! I'm trying hard to keep up with this.
My Chocolate cake was a BIG success and I am really proud of it as it was kind of a first time thing.
Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe | How to Make Chocolate Cake | Just Easy Recipes . This is where I got the recipe on my spontaneous adventure! It's been 4 days and it's still scrumptiously moist! As I said for the icing just cream, cocoa and icing sugar. Amounts? Just as much as YOU want! It was also a good snack for my grandpa who suffers from Alzheimers as he eats as if he has never eaten before. Sometimes the most simple mixture makes the best creation!

As for my other challenge... Honestly? I've been avoiding it as much as I can. Waking up with these chilly mornings to see the sun rise makes me shiver just by thinking of it. ALTHOUGH.... I have this phone at the moment from doing promotions which I now have to take back tomorrow and this forces me to wake up early so I can take advantage of the excellent camera that it has. It's a SONY Xperia S, and knowing SONY with their excellent camera's available, the 12 mp camera will sure take a Stunning photo of the sun rise. So, tomorrow it is then. Mmmmm Sony should pay me for half advertising LOL :) Or just give me the phone :P Back to the camera, point is you wouldnt even need a camera and it's so easy to share your photo's and all! https://www.facebook.com/sonymobile Check it out :)

As an extra challenge for myself, Ive decided that i really need to improve my vocabulary so I'll learning 4 random words a day out of the dictionary. Why? Because I can :) I find dictionaries very boring to look at and think they should spice them up a bit... maybe.

Anyway, Until the next post. Cheerio!

Brrrr... Is it just me, or is it really cold tonight? It just makes me think of my first challenge that I received today. THIS! Is going to be a big one for me as I absolutely adore sleep. My first challenge is to wake up early enough to see the sunrise. Now I know there are many many people who do that already... But me? No no! I try and sleep till the last second that I really do have to get up.

It's okay, I will face this challenge head on  and who knows? maybe I'll make it a habit to wake up at sparrow's fart to see the magnificent sun! My only problem.... If I think it's pretty icy now, how on earth am I going to cope with the morning chill? Winter... Not my favourite thing! Thanks too http://www.onlinelifemakeover.com/ for given me this challenge. I will try for Tomorrow morning, but i have a week *Wink Wink*

Now, last at 10pm I decided to bake a chocolate cake :) I did that, Left it till later today simply because I was busy and then I iced it up inside with a simple icing mix. I will load a link to the recipe as the cake is still super moist and yummy for a SIMPLE Chocolate cake! Icing? I just whipped some cream, added icing sugar and some cocoa as to how I wanted it! I'm impressed with myself!

Here are two pics of the first half and then the final product!

Halfway!

Final!

Look, its no masterpiece LOL but is gooood!

alright, time for a break!

WHOOOOHOOOO! I am finally starting this thing! boy am I excited to get this new and possibly crazy challenge going. This, just posting and making sure I get my challenges done in time is a challenge on it's own, but I am ready to do this!

I have decided to take these challenges on because for one, I was inspired by someone who I could is like my mentor by the name of Lizette Hunt who has a blog going called "Not for Sissies". Absolutely brilliant! Secondly, I am twenty years old and already learning about how life really is and that it can be quite tough.... BUT! only if you let it. I know that I can do more than I already am and I have decided that I will push myself to complete (For now) 1 challenge a week, maybe more, and increase the challenges as I go along :D

I will be awaiting my new challenge for the week tomorrow from  http://www.onlinelifemakeover.com/! This will hopefully help give my life a bit of a lift and hey! Maybe you can try the challenges and see if it does anything from you! yay!!


Tonight though, I will be starting off with baking a simple chocolate cake! Hope it works out well and if it does Ill post the recipe!   


Here's to a new outlook on life and a positive attitude! Cheers!
