Fabulosity

Bateel's date champagne

'Ca marche pas! Ca marche pas!' she walks in shaking her head with a giggle and looking airily at me over her blackberry thats frozen for the umpteenth time in the past few days..'This thing...ughhhhh!'

It's what we labelled a spontaneous mini break..away from routine and hectic work schedules for a good dose of chillaxation and laughter.

So we're lounging on a sunny afternoon waiting for our iced tea and going through another million ideas for places to hang out in over the next few days..Seriously this girl is the ultimate New Yorker living in Paris in the la la land of Dubai.
'You should have you hair wrapped up in a 60's behive french twist' I reply tilting my head and studying the layers draped across her forehead.

Her eyes light up 'Remember that French woman we met...'

'Nooooo babes!!! No pixie cut!' finishing her trail of thought with a laugh leaving her to ponder as she looks into the mirror and pauses..'Well she wasnt really french..' she trails off with another chuckle.

I smile and turn my attention to picking out a track on my music selection and the doorbell rings breaking my concentration..
'Ca marche paaas!' I breathe in an exaggerated indignation whilst I get up...she collapses on the couch in a heap of laughter at my accent as I answer the door..Theres a quiet silence before the room explodes with a fresh burst of bubbly laughter as she hears the conversation..
Seriously youve got to see it to understand it..that my lovelies is Fastidious Babe.

I think there are friendships in the world and then some..the warm familiar kind reminiscent of solid ones youve built over the years that simply transcend all the menial trivialities and allow you to just be, all notions of normal go out the window and you find yourself in hysterics over your quirks and randomness, your thoughts and happenings..in a comfort zone and it all flows naturally..the conversation, the musings and once again definitely the laughter..lots of insane hilarious bubbly highs

Over a screw-this-I-dont-want-to-think-about-life-Im-tuning-out break we decided on a spontaneous exchange..She learns to do my cosy peaceful thing and I get out of my relaxed perspective lol lazy as she likes to put it which always makes me laugh.
'La laa ma2saaaaa!!' Eyes widen in disbelief 'Ca marche pas! Ma9edggggg! Youre sooo lazy!'
I have to give her credit for really being gracious to have her go-getting soul put up with hours of lounging over our infamous raspberry martini mocktails.
It made the summer's end stretch into a fabulous one and all the better..friends like this are few and far between.

Ive had the best time in a long time..I laughed until I literally had my mascara running down my face and still kept laughing and everything got even more bubblier..from blocked chakra reading sessions to fall shopping to being indulgently aimless over one of the best weeks Ive had ever.
Life holds many fun twists and turns and as she put it some friendships are just meant to be..So here's a raspberry martini toast to you babes with a whole load of bubblycheers
For you my readers I leave you with a couple more shots and a promise to update sooner x

BubblyBirthday

Queen Fi's birthday came up this weekend and I decided to give her the BubblySpecial :)

So we packed our Choos and Chanels and set off for the perfect escape..

From cupcakes and candles..summery balloons and roses all over our private terrace and of course my bubbly playlists, it was definitely a weekend to remember..we sat with our favourite friends (Mousie I missed you there xx) and laughed the weekend away underneath the stars, following a luscious day before with Fi at the spa where we unwinded the week's tension and melted under utterly blissful therapeutic hands, to be buffed to perfection and massaged to the point where we felt like we were floating..we're still literally glowing.

Dubai is one of those magical escapes that always holds such good memories for me..every time I go it just keeps getting better, more relaxing and definitely more bubbly.

She still hasn't told me what her wish was when she blew out the candles lol..Fi when you read this, I hope it comes true and I love you more than anything in this whole wide world..Im gonna sign out right now to find her and give her a big hug lol.

To sisters and friends (especially you M)..where would we be without them?

Riverdale Wedding Bells?

Yes one of my guilty pleasures is immersing myself in a good Betty and Veronica comic on an afternoon when reality and life would just.need.a.break.
Like most of you they were fun beach reads when we were all in high school..but I kept reading in college to escape from biochem exams and once in a while when I pick up my monthly Vogue, I cant resist those two..they take me back to happier days of carefree teenage fun.
Betty the blonde straight A student known for her sweetness and perfect brownie baking skills, always being placed on the back burner for frenemy Veronica Lodge, daddys little fashionista with attitude and the most luscious bedrooms ever created in comic history, when it came to fighting for Archies affections.
This August apparently with rumours swirling of a proposal to Veronica as Betty walks in, I wonder..is it true? Will 68 years of the Riverdale gang be over after this or will it continue with them no longer being 17?
Will Freckle face actually marry Veronica or will Betty finally land her love of her life?
I cant wait to find out xD

So who do you vote for? lol

Have a bubbly afternoon xx
