Girly Dinners...and why they so important!

Men watch rugby, drink and bond when chatting over burning coals whilst "braaing" chops, steak and wors. Woman thrive off a similar concept; food, alcohol and chatting is also involved but not quite to the same extent.
After meeting two of my very good girl friends for dinner this evening I realised just how important that time apart from your significant other is. Although men try their hardest to listen, debate, agree and act like our gay best friends; they really don't care who is dating who and what retail store has a 10% sale.

Bottom line - always allow time for your girlfriends. One day you will need them.

Closet Space...start your bidding!

Today is auction day!!
I found this very clever website called Closet Space where you can bid for good quality second hand clothes online.
I really am so pleased and amazed at how people are trying to re-invent, recycle and revamp their wardrobes the eco- friendly and cheaper alternative. I am a firm believer in that and I hope the rest of South Africa will catch onto the idea soon.

Closet Space has auctions on a regular basis and each auction lasts for about a week.
There is a classy, small selection of clothes to choose from and it makes your bidding experience feel very unique, specialised and private.
Its simple really, click here and visit there website, register or log in and they will email you the morning of the next auction. I got my first email this morning and I think its brilliant customer service. I was very impressed.
The rest of the information is on the website.

I am yet to order my first Closet Space parcel of second hand shopping joy but I am hoping that I will get something out of todays auction...it started an hour ago so best you get bidding.

I really like this concept...SOLD!!!! To the lady in the vintage navy jacket.

Everyday there is always something to look forward to

The blog concept is very new to me but I am going to create Culture Concepts according to what I would like to find in a blog.
A blog that you can "tune" into on certain days of the week and find the topic of conversation that you enjoy following.
I think it's a marvelous concept but in the reality of the business, social, emotional and young adult life of running a household, this task may seem more difficult than the initial concept.

But what the hell, I am going to give it a bash and here's hoping it works.

Starting from scratch

Now that the blog name and the look and feel is nearly a hundred percent to my liking I have to come up with things to make my blog interesting and exciting for people to follow.
For me, this seems to be harder than you think. I have too many ideas and concepts and things I would like to do, learn, offer as a service or write about.
So for now, I will start with the basics and go from there?

This is it....

I have come up with so many ideas for blog names and created these blogs. They exist but do not get used; well they may in the future but for now they are hibernating. Now, after a random brain storming session on my own, I came up with my name, idea and future hobby...Culture Concepts.

Besides blogging about fashion, trends, beauty and food, I will be thinking of new fun ideas and hopefully putting them to good use.

until the next concept...
