Quotes from Madam Leota

Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat
call in the spirits wherever they're at.
Rap on a table, it's time to respond,
send us a message from somewhere beyond.
Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween
awaken the spirits with your tambourine.
Creepies and crawlies, toads in a pond
let there be music from regions beyond.
Wizards and witches wherever you dwell
give us a hint by ringing a bell.



Little Leota by the exit:

Hurry back, hurry back. Be sure to bring your death certificate if
you decide to join us. Make final arrangements now. We've been
dying to have you.

Robin Thicke - Rollacoasta ft. Estelle

It took a few listens, but I gotta admit, I'm diggin' this ;)

Eat Pray Love

Elizabeth Gilbert's memoir Eat, Pray, Love may be about how she found herself when she pared down to life's basics, but that hasn't prevented the film version starring Julia Roberts from spurring a merchfest. Jewelry line Dogeared is selling necklaces inspired by the book, and ME + RO made necklaces, bracelets and rings embossed with the title. Meanwhile, SONY tapped Fresh to create a trio of eponymous eaux de parfum, Como Hotels and Resorts is doing themed itineraries ("Eat" in Thailand, "Pray" in Bhutan and "Love" in Bali), and a slew of other synergistic products are reportedly in the works.

I'm more interested in the perfumes, naturally.

Eat is a "sweet, effervescent" scent inspired by Gilbert's travels through Italy. Notes include Italian lemon, basil, bergamot, plum, red currant, rose, caramel, meringue, and vanilla. Seems to be to have been inspired by ices, gelato and tiramisu!


Pray is a woodsy scent, inspired by the India section of the book & film. Notes are elemi, pink pepper, juniper berry, incense, peony, rose, patchouli, amber, and musk.



Love is inspired by our heroine's travels in Indonesia, with notes of bergamot, red currant, mango blossom, lisylang, Tiare, dewy jasmine, sandalwood, vetyver, and velvet amber.

These scents also come in a trio of candles. Excellent marketing strategy Fresh...

Guess where I'm going?

Lip Balm Crush

Yes, I'm that girl. The girl who reapplies lip balm a lot. I can't help it. I've succumbed to the drug. Hey, it promises soft, luscious lips! Now who wouldn't want that? Strings attached? Maybe. A little. Ok ok, so if I don't reapply, my lips get parched. Thats the hype I bought into, and thats the price I have to pay. So I'm constantly on the look out for new, uber-cool lip goodies I can buy from the industry that manipulated me to purchase them from.

Lo and behold, The Vitamin Water Balms!!! I literally rush to a fridge full of yummy vitamin waters, so naturally I went bonkers when I saw these! They are just. So. COOL. Plus, they're SPF 20!! If I were 13 years old right now I'd...well who am I kidding, I'm behaving exactly like my 13 year old self. Some things never change. I want these I want these, I WANT! You hear that universe? Bring the yummy-ness to my door step.

Oh and uh Lip Smackers...Whatever you thought we had, yeah, its over. kthnxbye!

We Are Handsome

Ok, I'm officially obsessing over these swim suits!!!!

I want the Lion one. I want it BAD!

I'll find a way to fit into it. It'll take months but I just want it in my drawer. Waiting for me to catch up to its chicness for summer 2011!!

*sigh*

I also particularly adore the LA night suit. And the one with the horse is just a breath of fresh air!

Gotta love the Aussies. They know how to blend kitsch and chic.

You'll find me in Mykonos

Oops I mean this Mykonos...

4. Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile: I have decided. It will be my scent for Rome. Since Philosykos is my scent for Greece. And I don't want to mix adventures.

5. Chanel Le Vernis in Nouvelle Vague 527: Ok so i cheated a little. I already have this! But I just feel so giddy that I am in possession of the hottest nail color of the summer! And its right up my alley! Turquoise goes well with my skin tone.




6. Marina and the Diamonds debut album The Family Jewels: I must say, I LOVE MARINA!! I've been waiting for an artist like her to come along. Some won't get it, some will. If you do, that's brilliant! Here's one of her tracks that made the top of my Summer '10 playlist

I vow to blog!

Ok, so my blogging experiment failed. But I've been tumbling! and tweeting! So i guess i can give blogging another try.
Audience or no audience I will still try my best to record my daily musings here.


Right now I'm in Paros, Greece. I was in Santorini a few days ago. Should've blogged about that amazing taverna. I couldve taken pics!! Oh well. Some other time. All you need to know is: BEST Chicken Salad EVAR!!!! I even asked for the recipe for the dressing! Thankfully that handsome chef gave it to me :p Will update on the address and the recipe.

tata for now!
