This is my first entry for the month and as there is lots of excitement for the reason that summer finally arrived in Jo'burg, I always share my list of favorite things at this time ... so here is what's on my so-hot-right-now list for October:

ICE watches in so much of colour at Edgars |
The first exciting news is that I purchased a new watch, and it is an ICE watch with Swarovski elements and a white silicone strap. It comes in the most gorgeous packaging and it is pink and white, just the right colours for summer. As Edgars has the brand exclusively at their stores, I got my watch from The Glen but there are other Edgars carrying it including Sandton, Eatgate, and Alberton City. Edgars The Glen is looking amazing after the revamp and I actually want to shop there now, I used to avoid it but not anymore. I'm sure there will be more stores getting the brand. The watches are priced from R1000 - R2000.

My pink and white ICE watch - loves loves! |
I have also had a first encounter with a real life lama, and it is on top of my list of favorite animals. I love lamas like I love pandas and pugs ... they are so cute with fluffy soft wool and the lama I met was named Snowflake! So cute my head is going to explode ... and it is actually on a company's premises that I do business with, they have this farm with lamas, ducks, peacocks, geese and bunnies! White little furry bunnies! For real, I have pics :)

Its a peacock in the middle of the road...ZOMG so awesome |
As the days are getting hotter and hotter, the drinks need to get cooler and more refreshing. And nothing beats Ice green tea from Tsuyu (the Japanese owned by Taiwanese restaurant in Fourways that I told you about last time). Super refreshing and sweetened by all natural honey. I can't pronounce the name or in actual fact I can't read it but here is a pic of it below. Then there is also frozen yogurt that hits the spot, from the self serve place called Yogoorus, it is like Wakaberry but situated in Melrose Arch with different flavours like peanut butter or plain with stevia sweetener but essentially based on the same concept.

My favorite ICE green tea right now, I can't read the label :) |
Oh and I enjoy reading all the latest in my Barbie magazine with my one good eye :) It is fun goofin' around but only sometimes at work! We do have so much of fun!

Just catching up on some Barbie gossip...giirrrl what are you wearing? |
I also think that Casio old school manly fatique watches are so hot right now, am going to get one for my baby ... And bunny paper clips at Typo, well, basically all Typo's cool stationary is great but the bunny paperclips are so cute! I got them from my new fav stationary shop, Typo at Sandton City. Oh and I am cooking a lot with prawns, with added spicyness and for some odd reason combining this with minneolas juice. Minneolas is a fruit that is orange in colour, easy to peel and well something between a naartjie and an orange. The combo does actually taste nice!
