I've totally been engaging in therapeutic retail expenditure as a result of the recent work woes... These were purchased from artallnight on etsy. Am very excited to give the horseshoe ring as a pressie to my best friend at work Cheapie who has been struggling a bit lately and could do with a bit of good luck in her life.
The best thing about etsy is how fast everything ships! I'm hoping to get these before I leave for The City next week, although that would be very fast indeed for overseas shipping. Especially since the post in G-town seems to be run by donkeys.

I don't tend to read the ones in the newspaper, but I have bought a few of the Calvin & Hobbes books, which I ADORE. I had the strips relating to studying and tests all over my files in years 11 and 12.

This isn't actually my hammer... mine has a slightly different, although no less girly, pattern on it. This isn't a simple hammer, however; there are three different screwdrivers in the handle. Genius! There was a matching measuring tape, and I always regret not getting it. Sigh.

It isn't this product specifically, so BikiniSaver PLEASE DON'T SUE, but I had a very very very bad reaction to a similar product when I used it on my legs to help with my ingrown hairs. Turns out that my legs + recent waxing + tea tree oil based exfoliant + 40 degree heat ends in an allergic reaction so bad that my Dad had to use his fancy doctor connections and get me in to see a dermatologist at his hospital. Things got so painful I was starting to have trouble walking - the skin went really tight like I had been burned in a fire or something. They recovered after about 2 weeks of serious cream application and a few days of oral steroids; I still can't believe that I don't have scars. I am very sympathetic towards people who have to take oral steroids - I had to get my parents to stop me eating I was so starving all the time. The first morning on them I ate 3 boiled eggs and 4 pieces of toast and was still hungry. It was horrible, and a small flashback to what I was like before my tumour thingy (who I've named Norman) was diagnosed and no one realised that I could not get full. I never want to go back to that again.

Tamara de Lempicka. I'm not sufficiently educated about art to know the proper names for all of these paintings (plus my book about her is currently packed), but I have a series of her prints framed above my bed. There is something about the way her paintings demonstrate simplicity and yet a rawness of emotion which speaks to me. For some reason I think of her art as being very "Spanish", but de Lempicka was actually Polish. I recommend reading up about her - she lived an incredible life, particularly for a woman of her time.
