flower girls

Photobucket
I haven't posted about our upcoming wedding in a while and since we are off sunning ourselves in Turkey, you may as well have something lovely to look at.

Aside from the adult bridal party - we have a bunch of lovely little princesses who will be part of our big day as flower-girls. Two little princesses from the UK, One little princess from Jhb and three little princesses from Australia. We are so lucky to have all of them and their families flying to South Africa for our big day next year. I made them some bright pink-girly-fun cards to ask them to be part of the celebrations. I shipped them off in the mail the other day...Photobucket Photobucket
We also included a fun little pink bracelet with each of them - (something light enough to post internationally)

Stress. The epic kind.

We're in Turkey right now soaking up the holiday vibes. You're missing me, I can tell.
So to keep you entertained while I'm away I've set this automated post to give you a little taste of what is probably going down right now in Gumusluk, Bodrum...

You can follow some of our travels via instagram
me: @indieBerries

Although it will probably be just a bunch of repetitive pics of 
sea, sun, markets, food, cocktails and beaches. 

Don't hate us too much.

The innocent range of awesomeness. 

Before we begin I would like to confess - i do not cook. i once blew up a egg in the microwave , once ended up eating fried onions for dinner and once, a very long time ago, made a Millennium Falcon Star Wars Cake - other than that - i do not cook. Every meal for me, is an epic adventure.

My first encounter with innocent:
So there I was, one arbitrary lunchtime wandering aimlessly around Sainsbury's with no plan in mind and the familiar hunger pangs creeping into my belly when suddenly - from the corner of my eye - i spotted the entirely lowercase lettering of the innocent veg pots. i am a fan of the lowercase - so i knew i had to snap these babies up pronto. (the two-for-one special may also have been a drawcard, who knows).

When i tore into opened the veg pots I was overwhelmed with packaging awesomeness.
And here it is:

Fancy a quick jaunt to India?
Simple. squint at this photo and allow the delicious aroma of your healthy curry of aubergine, chickpeas and lemon rice to dance around your nostrils. If you think and squint and smell all at the same time you'll be transported to a bustling Indian market where these spices will guide your senses and make you wonder how all of these flavours and tastes come to be. If you think really hard you might even be able to get a good price on a rug and a hat with tassles. Believe in the hat.

Posh up yourself!
Need a bit more class in your life? Looked down on as the office commoner? Not any more. Simply cut out this doily, pair it with a nice (bone china) cup of tea and extend that pinky. Quite right too.

Office Exercises
Preparing for an office brawl? Feeling like the runt of the photocopier queue? Just fancy beefing up a bit at work? Look here...
1. Stapler Squeeze
Find the heaviest stapler in the office, pick it up give it a quick stare and then squeeze it every other second until you thin it knows who's boss.
2. Hole Punch Flex
Grab the hole punch off your desk and wedge it in the crease of you arm and start clenching. Go for as many as possible, ten on each arm should achieve those 'Rocky II' guns.
3.  Keyboard Extensions
Unplug your keyboard, pop it behind your head and start lifting it all the way up and down. Feeling buff? Try it one handed, hot shot.

This, my friends, is packaging done right.
Not only do I want to go out and buy another veg pot just to see what awesome things are lurking in the cardboard wrapper - but the food is pretty freaking yumma-licious too. 
And you know what? They are not even paying me to say this.
But
They probably should be.

In fact,

And also,

Dear Warren

I think I love you. (really)
As an epic wedding present, you could scour all the dustbins of London for discarded innocent packaging and compile them into a beautiful and LOL-tastic scrapbook for me. 
Thanks
