Kind of disorganised, but it’s the end of the week and I will do my big tidy-up during the weekend as I always do… So! Things on my desk right now:
01: My computer. It’s a HP touch screen all-in-one computer that I love. I do miss my laptop (it died on me recently) but this has been a wonderful replacement.
02: Antique ‘sparrow’ candle holder. (the odd looking thing to the side of the computer) I bought this in an antique store in downtown Phoenixville during my trip to the states last year. It’s probably an outdoor item but I think it’s so sweet I like to keep it on my desk. I should really find a tea candle to put inside at some stage…
03: My pretty IKEA lamp. I don’t know if this style is still available for purchase (I couldn’t see it on the site) but I fell in love with it because it reminded me of something Charlotte from SATC would have in her apartment. Ha, I’m so lame.
04: 750ml Pump water bottle. I always have a bottle of water on hand. I prefer the pump water bottles because of the pop-top. I don’t know why, but I find it easier to drink more water out of these than the regular screw-top bottles.
05: Kikki K Notebook. I write lists for practically everything. This book contains a lot of those lists. I like to keep track of things I might want to blog about, products I need to review, bills I need to pay etc – all of that goes into this notebook.
06: Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream. I was sent this product to review and have kept it on my desk for nightly use. I love it, and will post about it soon!
07: Manicare All-In-One & Essie Angora Cardi Nail Polish. I painted my nails on Wednesday evening (you all need Essie Angora Cardi btw – a friend of mine sent me a bottle as a gift, and it is perfection) and still have the bottles lying around.
08: Kikki K To Do List. I update this every weekend with the things I need to remember to do. Exciting things like “run fish filter” and “grocery shopping”. Do not envy my glamourous life.
09: Half completed grocery shopping list. I have a terrible memory (in fact I just thought of something to write on this list but have since forgotten…) and writing a grocery list is necessary for me to remember everything I need to buy for the week.
10: My engagement ring. I try not to wear this at night incase I give myself or Mr B a black eye by accident.
11: 45 cents. I clean my wallet out of all of the silver coins at the end of the week and put them into a big container to eventually take to the bank. I have only ever gone to the bank to complete this process once in my 25 years. I have a lot of silver coins stored for a rainy day!
12: Kikki K Love Heart Post It. I only have one left! Eek! Lucky I have a replacement pad in my storage box…
13: 2 loose leaf tea canisters. I picked these up at a tea party a friend of mine had to launch her friend’s organic tea range. They both have original blend loose leaf organic herbal tea inside.
14: Kikki K Accordian Expandable Filing Folder. For storing monthly bills and various important documentation.
15: Gogol Bordello Non Stop DVD. I bought this recently and have watched it, but need to take some screencaps for a Pamela Racine site that I set up and run for a friend.
16: Kikki K Proof Of Purchase Receipts Book. I like to keep track of what I spend my “shopping allowance” on every fortnight – and I do so in this handy little book!
17: Vitamins! I take Cod Liver Oil (with vitamins a&d), Zinc Formula and Vitamin E every night. Keeping them on my desk helps me to remember to take them.
18: Yet another Kikki K To Do List. This one is smaller and is in sticky note form. I use these throughout the week to remember things I need to do at work or around the house when I get home.
19: Kikki K Pen Holder full of various things including: abraham lincoln bookmark (purchased from the lincoln memorial store in washington), tiny bamboo hand-painted bookmark (gift from my best friend from her travels through japan), kikki k magnetised pegs, various pens, yellow and green highlighers & a paul and joe kitten nail file.
20: Kikki K Storage Box full of various things including: paper documents for filing, press releases for products I am yet to review, age of empires 3 PC game (nerd alert!), replacement kikki k to do list pad, blank kikki k notebook, replacement kikki k love heart post its, blank CDs, organic loose-leaf tea packets (so I can remember what tea I’m drinking), receipts for filing.
21: Some random things… A Sweet Valley High TV Series DVD (loose), Woman’s Weekly Chilli Con Carne Recipe Printout, $20 Sussan Gift Card & a pump water bottle cap.
How exciting! If you’re curious you can click the numbers next to the item in question and see some individual pictures I’ve taken with my iphone. So – what’s on your desk??
