This Is What Happens When I'm Sick.

So last Friday I hurt my back. I've been off work ever since, and just as I felt able to go back, I got the flu. I've LITERALLY been bed-ridden for a week, which is f-ing horrible.

So, what does one do when one is stuck in bed, with no window to the outside world except my laptop?

I'll give you a clue: it starts with 's' and ends with 'hopping'.

Kimchi Blue Canvas Print Pumps - US$49.00

MinkPink Confused & Dazed Mini Dress - $76.30

Deena & Ozzy Spike-Stud Platform Wedge - US$69.00

Deer Antler Ring in Solid White Bronze by Moon Raven Designs - $58.38

ASOS Skater Skirt in Leather Look - $59.34

Happy Hippy Shower Gel by LUSH - $12.50

 

Awww yeah. Can't wait until I'm well enough to enjoy my purchases! :)

So I Had The Craziest Dream EVER...

So in this dream, my friend Ahlam and I were bored and so we decided to try acid (which is definitely something we'd NEVER do. Ahem.). And we didn't know how to "prepare it", as it were, so we put it in a casserole dish and shoved it in an oven at 180 degrees Celsius (fan-forced). Anyway, it magically turned into some sort of stew, and we spent the rest of the dream fighting over who was going to eat it first. I'm pretty sure I screamed "you can't eat it, it's not halal!" out loud whilst asleep.

Now, I agree with the theory that dreams are a way for the brain to process information, but I'd like to hear your theories on what my dream means, because I never remember mine and this one was a doozy. Hilarious/trippy dream stories are also welcome!

Finally, you should really watch this video, it's epic:

 

So This Is Awkward...

It's that awkward moment when you spot someone you haven't seen in ages. You quickly scan your immediate surroundings for an escape route, but before you can execute any exit strategies they've already caught your eye. Shit. You've no choice now but to acknowledge their existence.

You smile hesitantly, trying to remember if you fixed your hair this morning, wondering if you've put on weight since you last saw them. Damn it, if only you hadn't worn the jeans with the hole in the thigh. What was their name again?

They ask you what's new. "Same old," you reply, and they smile knowingly as if they have any clue what you're talking about. After an exchange of the usual pleasantries, you both part ways. Jeez, what were you so worried about?

So I've been gone for a while. Part of the reason I was gone for so long was because I didn't know how to start blogging again. I had a vague idea of the direction I wanted to take this blog, but no idea where to begin.

Jasmyne Tea is no longer a food blog - consider it a personal blog... that just so happens to include a lot of food. I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who commented on my previous post - your words of encouragement and wisdom were definitely taken on board!

But I haven't just been sitting around doing nothing! Since I last posted I've:

Turned 22!

Eaten my weight in birthday cake :)

Ironed 42 chair covers for Melissa's kitchen tea... Never again...

Started driving! (Don't worry, that's not me, lol!)

 

So anyway, I'm back. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's been following this little blog - old hand or newcomer, your visits and comments are appreciated. JasmyneTea just celebrated its 2nd birthday last month, and it warms the cockles of my little heart everytime I see one of your comments.

Til the next time!
