Heeeellloooooo thereee!!!

It’s been too long since my last post! But I’ve reasons.

We had this really relaxing and familyish week since it was a public holiday in Turkey.

First we decided to go to France for this holiday, then to England and we ended up with visiting parents and staying at home as we had to go to work for 2 days. ( But I didn’t. I was dealing with this shitty flu!) After that week, I think I had some post vacation blues which is really familiar to me. It was pretty nice to stay at home, sewing, painting, watching The Bachelorette and The Bridal Plasty     (oh yeah baby!)  and the movies I’ve been dying to see. A lot more cheaper than a trip to London…

Just before the holiday, It is declared that me and my colleague had this job rotation we were willing.

Honestly, I was not satisfied with the situation and the working conditions in my current department. Now we’ll be working in Engineering and Technology Department with our new manager and new colleagues! I will be in the administrative  building instead of the middle of production! YAY! No more welding dust and hello high heels again! We hope this rotation to turn into a good thing…

By the way, I’m trying to find myself new goals. First of them is changing the layout or at least the appearance of my blog. Maybe  something winterly? I’m sooo ready for the winter and the new year. We still have no idea what we are going to do this new year’s night. But staying at home, decorating the living room and cooking some special meals for my husband is really tempting.

I’ve finalized my goals for “30 Things before 30″. I hope to share them with you next week. There are tones of things I want to do in my life same as  you but I admit, I chose really easy ones for the next year. For example I eliminated visiting China(!) and added Positano, where it is MORE probable to visit.

Some of them are like my new year resolutions like saving money or improving my web site. I’d be very happy if I could complete 25 of 30 goals.

Nowadays we are in the rocky road of redesigning our home. We decided to start with our living room. We are cool with the furnitures as they are new anyway. But the walls and the bookshelves’ details are killing us. So we (ok,  I..) chose some cute prints for our walls instead of painting or some wallpaper. For the shelves, action figure and a few pair of book ends shopping would be soooo perfect. I’m planning to share some before and after photos when we’re done. Oh and I’m really excited when it’s time for our bedroom! I have so many pretty ideas for our love nest!

Our newlywed life is pretty nice. We are working on creating some habits as husband and wife. We ( Ooh, how I love saying and writing WE!)  decided to eat and drink healthy. My new obsession is the green smoothies. We are planning to drink delicious green mixtures 3 time a week. You can find lots of receipes on the internet like on the green smoothie blog. It’s the healthiest thing ever!

The other nights we’re having some milky parties.

If we recall my Foal Goals, one of them was about a gift that  I’m going to buy myself for my birthday and finally I’ve found it!

Like most  woman, I looooooooooooove beauty and care products. My research for the best anti-wrinkle cream is going on but I think I’ve found the awesome skin cleansing products. The best present for a woman! I’m also going to share the product and my reviews here, be patient dolls!

 

I’ve saved many many nice links to share for my 5 Things J’adore section. My husband’s birthday is coming up and I’m at a dead end, looking desperately the ultimate gift for him. I know he’s reading this and smiling… So there will be a special edition for 5 coolest things for men.

Well pretties, this and that from our side…

Hope you have a nice and warm weekend.

 

Love,

SUMMER GOALS 2011!

10 Jun

Yesss! Summer has arrived! It’s almost mid- june. We, finally had our first ice cream of the season last week.

This summer is wedding crazy! We’ve already attended 2 weddings. And for the coming months, the number continues to increase.
Oh sure, the most important one is on September.

I’ve so much things to do and so busy with our wedding plans.( As if I’m the only one who is going to get married!!!). I’ve tried to determine my summer goals for this year. Yes I’m a virgo. Yes I’m a planner.and yes I live with goals and lists. So, here is my summer goals ladies and gentlemen;

1. Perfect Wedding Day.

Of course my first goal of this summer is having my dream wedding. Thousands of ideas wind my head up! But I want to keep it simple in the first place.
In any case, I think the most important thing of a wedding is the music. We experienced last week, the food and the service is really successfull in our wedding venue. My investigation on music playlist and the orchestra is still going on. I ordered so many cool things from Etsy and E-bay for our wedding photo shoot. There will be a wonderland theme for the shoot and I’ll be the lovely bride Alice with my mad hatter hubby <3 I hope things go sooo well.

2. Get My Hair Done Asap!

First I wanted to get my hair cut. Then to change the color, then promised to not to do anything with it. But now I understand that I have to do something!

3. Having a Tattoo.

After our wedding, I’ll be over with 29 and will be greeting 30! So, as I’ll be a married lady with my new age and start a whole different life ( well, ok maybe not soooo different but please, I’ll have a new surname at the end! ) I want to make a difference and have my first tattoo this summer. Like others, I don’t think that I’m too late for my first tattoo. It is not my fault if I’ve never wanted to carry symbols of momentary desires, on my body during my whole life and If I’ve never wanted a tattoo just because I wanted a tattoo. So this will be my first and It has a great meaning for me. I can’t wait to to share it here. Tattooed ever after!

4. Re-arrange our apartment.

It doesn’t mean a full re-arrangement, we will buy some new furnitures this month such as a new dining table and chairs, a whatnot for the bedroom.
We hired a cleaning lady. She comes weekly and turns our place to a paradise. We just have to re-emplace the rooms a bit. This is our mutual goal for this summer.

My favorite pieces:

5. Work out for at least 30 minutes a day.


Another mutual goal with Monsiuer Terziler. We’ve bought a treadmill last month. We want to get in shape before the wedding. I want to loose 11 pounds. Also I decided to go to the new gym that opened last week just ground floor of our appartment. Oh! Everything is against me and my lovely belly :(

6. Ride my Ivana.

My father gave me a vintage bicycle which I named Ivana. Last year he gave one as a gift for my sister, her name is Helga, and this year it was my turn. It is a lovely old school german bicyle. It’s really special for me as my father used to ride it. He is crazy about vintage bicycles. I haven’t gone for a ride with Ivana yet but we’ll have a photo shoot with her asap!

7. Develop My Blog.

I confess that I can not spend enough time for my blog though I’m dying for it. But I do my best. I’m looking for some sponsors nowadays. And also trying to fit a lovely theme for it. I have to find a pro web master. And I have a new page on which I’ll share my invitation designs. It’s my new occupation. I started while I was trying to design our wedding invitation. Soon, I’ll be sharing them here. Cross finger for some delightful customers!

8. Finish my painting.

I’ve started a painting ( a mustached macho bunny) when my hubby -to- be gave me an easel .
I plan to finish it by the end of this month.

9.Finish My Scrapbook.


I think this is the hardest goal among others. It’s something I want to finish but It takes really too much time as I want every page to be special and unique.
I hope I achieve to finish it by the end of this summer and start our wedding album.

My Scrapbook

10. Sing in a public bathroom.

This is the most important goal ever! I need to find a public bathroom and sing a stupid song! But this one will be easy. We’ll have our honeymoon in a really hot place so we have to get tanned before arriving there. Because we’re both cursed with pale skin. So, we planned to go to a swimming pool and have sun baths regularly. *blink blink*

Next week we’ll be voting for the elections. I don’t want to be political here as I’m REALLY intolerant about the way we are governed . But I do wish to get rid of misfortune we have had for the past few years.

There is also the Father’s Day this month. It is a tradition in our family to get together on every Mother’s and Father’s Day. Looking forward for the crowded and noisy breakfast!

I wish you a beautiful and peaceful summer. Hope everyone can take a vacation.

Bisous
