I love Pinterest!!! Have been enjoying it for about a month now, it has become one of my fav daily visit.

So what is it, for those that aren’t pinning? Think of Pinterest as a virtual pinboard — a place where you can create collections of things you love and “follow” collections created by people with great taste.

People use Pinterest to collect and share all sorts of things — wedding inspiration, favorite T-shirts, mind blowingly beautiful interior ideas, delish and amazing noms and a new use of have discovered this week is using it to collect great weight loss motivation. You name it, people are pinning it.

It is still invite only at this stage, but you can request an invite. Or let me know and I can send you one.

Are you pinning? Add me

Terrariums – Bring a Little Green to your Workspace

We can’t have plants at home. 3 cats+plants=green vomit.

Have always liked the idea of terrariums, especially the cute ones with moss, and little people etc. All the cool ones are in America though, and can’t be posted *sad face*

But came across these Aussies on etsy, and had to have one fore my desk at work. The plants are air plants, or tillandsia. According to the instructions, they are pretty easy to care for. So fingers crossed I don’t kill it.

Looking at their past sales they have done moss ones in the past, I would LOVE to see some of those again.

Mine is the red on the right, I haven’t killed it yet *touch wood* I think I might need a few more.

Terrarium are $28AUD plus $8 shipping. They come beautifully packaged, so would make a great gift. Postage was also super fast.

Love them! Check out the Terradctl Etsy store and blog

Bah Humbug

I am not the most Christmasy person. I hate Christmas lights (makes my eyes twitch to see people have their displays up already o.O) I HATE all the snow at Christmas and well..pretty much everything else about Christmas…except the ham..Mmmm Christmas ham. Anyway…came across some Christmasy stuff just perfect for me.

Lolmart Bah humbug shirt, a wonderful alternative to the usual bright ugly red and green Christmas shirts with bloody snow on them! Will take great pleasure wearing this at Christmas (shame it is white tho, I may well have to throw it out afterwards)
