Magical History Tour

Today is the last day of Paula's July Blog Challenge and today we blog about "One person from History you'd like to spend the day"

 Henry VIII

He was a Lord. 

He was a King. 

He was a ginger.  

He was fat, really fat....ah, I'm sure he blames the good life of the rich and infamous.  

Henry had The Balls to start his own church and his modus operande was to behead people who displeased him. A bit barbaric, but it takes big cahoonas  to behead everyone who calls you a fat fuck.  He loved to decorate his large frame with pretty baubles and spent a small fortune on embellishments.  He loves to party like the king-rock-star he was.

Who wouldn't want to spend a day with this bloke and get inside his head?

Next Lady For A Shave

Day 16 of Paula's July Blog Challenge.

Today's Question:  What is one thing that you have never done that you think most people have?

I have never shaved my face.

There are more men on this earth than women, right?  That means most people have shaved their face and I've never done that....

...until today.




Next time you shave, try standing an inch or two closer to the blade.

Random Act of Kindness

Paula has challenged everyone who signed up for July's Blog Challenge to do a good deed and blog about it. 

Well, my lovely Plonkers....this is something that I think of a lot.  

I have actually done this before....I read it on someone's blog years ago that someone had taped a dollar to a snack vending machine.  I always wanted to do it.  

The first time I did it, was at our local garage shop where they have an awesome Chaywa coffee/cappuccino/hot chocolate machine. I taped R20 to the machine with a note saying "Coffee's on Me".

Today, I did it again, at our local supermarket.  I taped a R10 to one of snack shelves with a wee note saying "RAOK. Snacks on Me" and walked away.  

However, today played out a little differently to last time.  When I was walking away, something pulled me back to sneak a peak at who would find the cash.  

I stood lurking at the end of the isle pretending to oogle the chocolates.  A man and his two young kids came up the isle.  His daughter couldn't have been more than six years old and she noticed the money first.  Her face was absolutely priceless!  Her eyes went huge, she put her hand over her gasping mouth and pointed to the money.  Her dad pulled the money off the shelve, looked around smiling and after a few moments of chatting for a while, he picked up a family packet of crisps...

Mission Accomplished!

It was great to be able to watch the recipient of my RAOK this time!  I got such a massive kick out of it, I couldn't stop smiling all the way home.  I'm still smiling writing this post....

...just to know that this simple act made someone smile made me smile wider than ever.



What Random Acts of Kindness have you done?

Healthy Wealth

Link up with Paula and her July Blog Challenge.

Today's Question : Would you rather be rich of healthy?

Personally, I'd rather have my health, because I've never been rich and so you can't really miss what you haven't had, right?  

I figure, if you don't have your health how can you honestly enjoy your wealth?  Oh I know your money could buy you the best health care and treatments but how much fun can you have when you're always ill.

Yeah, I'd have my health...but a wee bit more money wouldn't hurt either.

And one of my favourite bands, ACDC, talking about money

 

Shoegasm and Instagram Whore

Happy Friday, Plonkers!  

It's Day 12 of Paula's July Blog Challenge.  Go sign up if you haven't already.

Today's Question : Who or what do you take the most pictures of?

Another easy one -  my family and friends.  

I take my camera everywhere and my phone takes great pictures too.  

Most of you beautiful Plonkers know that I'm an Instagram Whore and if you follow me there, you'll know that I post pictures about pretty much everything.  

My HTC X One has been in for repairs for over a month.  After I shattered the screen, I'm waiting for my insurance to pay out so that I can either get mine repaired, or get a new phone.


I miss my phone, I miss Instagram and taking and posting daily pictures.

Follow me on Instagram.  I'll be back there sooner than you know it, snapping up everything and anything!

And now some pretty shoes...Friday is my Shoegasm day but in actual fact I look at shoes on the interwebz every day.  I subscribe to a few "Shoe of the Day" sites and I'm forever oogling them on Pinterest.  

I love to find websites that offer designer-looking shoes at bargain prices but, alas, most of them are in the US or the UK and the shipping costs versus the shoes are astronomical.  Och well, a girl can still dream about pretty shoes, right?

Royal Blue sequined Peep Toe with Union Jack design 

Pinup Girl Peep Toe Platforms with pretty bow detail

One of my favourites - Iron Fist.  Love the Sugar Skull 

This nude sandal is WAY over the top but so pretty.
I don't have the most dainty ankles for this design, but I can still admire them, right?

Mint and Black Strikin PeepToes with Black Flower ankle detail.  So Glam!

Now go and have a great weekend, my Lovely Plonkers!
