9 days till S U M M E R

9 days till our one month trip to GREECE for absolutely gorgeous summer! Can't wait. One more exam on wednesday and then 6 days of relaxing and partying and then we travel. Our plans are to arrive in Athens and stay there 4 days, then we fly to kos and pick up a yacht and for the next 10 days we are going to be sailing to different islands, we then go back to Kos and then hit Rhodes for some hectic night life! After that I have no idea... we will be island hopping and just see were we feel like hitting from there. These pictures remind me of bright things in Summer.. inspiration.

Prop House - Torné Volk Photography

Had a small shoot today at a prop house in muizenberg.. was really cool :)
There were about 7 girls all together and 1 (lucky) guy. Got there abit early so got my hair and makeup started first. Got smokey eyes done and a nude lip.. and falsies. oh yeah (first time). My hair was teased and looked super cool but has gone down now so kinda looks like weeds.. grr. Here's afew pics just took (messing around on webcam) but will put the final pics up when the photographer sends it to me.

Not too sure of everyones names. haha. But will post them up when i post the pics, but the photographer was Torné Volk - genius :)

Mmm, had to get my watch in!

Im bored..... yes i know i should be studying but due to my sickness and high dose of pain killers.. well its not very productive. Haven't left the house since wednesday (besides quick trip down the road to doctor) What is becoming of me??!! haha

So yeah.. already painted my nails (manicure pink), taken a hot bath, made some more tea, watched skins, watched 90210.. what else can i do? haha

So... lets see.

I have been sick for the past weekish but it turned into tonsilitus on wednesday so been in bed since then - literally :( plus that, can't really eat anything (can't actually see why thats a bad thing. ha) my tonsils are so swollen, they are literally the size of golf balls! not cool. Just to top that off, i started exams on wednesday, so managed to write wed morning but then missed my afrikaans exam today. Don't know how im going to study for my next exam on monday!!! Meant to write monday, tuesday and wedneasday :/

On the other hand im going to Greece in 3 and a half weeks!!!!!! YAY :) So excited! Going to tan, beach, shop, party, explore, and just have the time of my life.

Anyways, last week Saturday I shot a tv commercial for Vodacom which was really cool. I was part of a group of really lovely girls, some of which I knew. We shot in a road in Long street in Town and the set had huge contraptions with lights on them and tons of cameras and yeah, was a really fun experience! :)

These are some pics taken on set.. From left - Callan Paul, Me, Alex McGregor, and afew others (forgotten their names!! so bad with that. grrr)
