Extreme Makeover!

The day has finally come! A couple of months ago, I decided - with the help of some very forward and with-no-filter friends! - that I was sick of the pink background and the blog had to change. Today is the day, woohoo! Well I've seen it ages ago but needed to show you otherwise it's no fun. The Beef has spent a generous amount of time practicing his HTML coding skills (yep, I'm into geeks!) and redesigned the whole thing (as you can probably tell!) with me just going "Hmm, don't know, I want white but not too white, pink but not too pink, just cool and clean but also with all of these buttons..." - drove him mad a couple of times but nothing a little hug can't solve. In the meantime, my lovely bomboca Inês came up with this amazing logo, following my poor directions like "I don't really know, do what you want, I just want the word pink in pink!" - again, such an easy client (!!!). This is the result - the pink had to stay but I think it looks cleaner and better, with some cool hidden features I dare you to find out! What do you think?! Well, now you have to tell me - there's no keeping to yourselves you naughties. ❤️

Special thanks to:
Ben Hurst - the code & layout boy
Inês Teixeira Gomes - the logo & fonts girl

Let me know if you need some work like this and they will be more than happy to sort you out. Get in touch and I'll make it happen!

O dia chegou! Há uns meses decidi - com a ajuda de uns amigos muito directos e sem qualquer filtro! - que estava farta do background todo cor de rosinha e este blog tinha que levar uma reviravolta. Hoje é o dia! Quero dizer, eu já vi isto há anos mas tinha que vos mostrar senão não tem piada. O meu Bife dedicou um bocadinho (bem) generoso do seu tempo a praticar os seus dotes de código HTML (sim, sempre gostei de nerds lá no fundo!) e desenhou esta brincadeira toda de novo (como já devem ter reparado) comigo a mandar bitaites do género "Ah não sei, acho que quero o fundo branco mas não pode ser muito branco igual a todos; tem que ter cor de rosa claro mas não pode ser muito para não fartar; ah e quero assim espaçoso sem tudo encavalitado mas quero os botões todos a que tenho direito, resolve!" - levei-o à loucura umas quantas vezes mas nada que um abracinho não resolva. Nos entretantos, pus a minha bomboca Inês a fazer-me este logotipo maravilhoso, com as minhas indicações que ajudaram imeeenso - "Ai baby não faço ideia, olha faz o que quiseres eu só quero a palavra pink em cor de rosa, de resto estás à vontade!" - sempre fui uma cliente muito fácil. Pronto, e este é o resultado - o cor de rosa continua presente (senão tinha que mudar o nome e era chato) mas está assim mais limpinho e não deixa ninguém cego assim à primeira. Ah e tem umas coisas giras assim escondidas para vocês descobrirem, tipo se passarem o rato por cima de alguma coisa vá mas shh não digo mais nada. O que é que vos parece?! Está giro, feio, assim "não ata nem desata"? Vá digam lá que uma pessoa precisa de saber, nada de guardar segredos seus bombocos! ❤️

Agradecimentos especiaizinhos:
Ben Hurst - o menino do código e do desenho;
Inês Teixeira Gomes - a menina do logotipo e dos tipos de letra.

Se precisarem de ajuda para uma coisa do género digam qualquer coisa que arranja-se já negócio - entrem em contacto e eu faço acontecer!

The why.


It’s been a while since I wanted to start a blog. And by a while I mean about 5 years or more. The question has always been between the ‘About what?’ and ‘How do I fit it all in there?’. I’m sure this is no news to anyone who has a blog (or has tried to have one... and failed) but I get really itchy when I have to do something that millions have done before. It's like a disease spreading all over my body. Not really, but you get the idea. So let's try and make this a bit different. A bit more stupid. Anyway.

I’ve started to put together a Mind List – yes, I am a girl and I love lists but am also too lazy to write stuff down unless I have a new pink pad and/or pink pen (obsessions, obsessions, we’ll come to that…) – with everything I would like to cover in my blog. So we've got – 
  • Fashion – that was easy. THE very first obsession and one of the main subjects of this blog. Please click the little cross on the top right corner of your screen if you don’t like fashion or you will be bored.
Within fashion, I also knew something else. By fashion I mean Street Fashion. You know, the kind of things we can all wear and look good every day so we don’t feel like the world is going down and we’re super mega depressed because there’s nothing to wear in that tiny (read: giant) wardrobe. Yes, that kind of Fashion. Not that I don’t like the whole couture, top models, super-duper famous fashion designers. It’s just because, let’s be honest, my wallet doesn't let me.Yet. It will, one day, and I will love writing about Chanel, Prada and Givenchy bags and Manolos or Louboutins that only Carrie Bradshaw can wear without breaking her feet. I might mention these now but it will probably under the title ‘Daddy I really want…’ rather than ‘Shopping from last week…’.
  • Girls’ Reality – that was also easy. The target of this blog was obvious from the very beginning. Boys, I will be more than happy for you to have a read – you might find some tips on how to survive the craziness of a girl or the next best gift for Birthday or Xmas (I hate Valentine’s Day) – but if you have a terrible fear of words like ‘period’, ‘cellulites’ or ‘pink’, I suggest you recommend this to your girlfriend/wife (obviously!) and go read Sky Sports. Or, you can just focus on the GeekFactOfTheDay section.
Let’s face it, we all have the same issues/dramas/stupidities/endless-problems-that-seem-very-big-but-are-not. There’s some of us a bit more crazy/mad/out-of-this-world or, as my sister like to call it in Portuguese, ‘destravadas e despachadonas’ (don’t translate, it won’t work) but at the end of the day we’ve all been there. So let’s get all our frustrations out so we don’t take it on our boyfriends that don’t (always) deserve it.
  • Gossip
Well… I’m not Blair Waldorf because I don’t have nearly as many fancy clothes (or just clothes full stop) or the pleasure to live in a gigantic Upper East Side mansion. But I do like a good story to start a day. Or finish. Or just at any time. So I'll probably make some comments to what's going on outside of my pink bubble, if I actually care. Some funny ones, nothing to be taken too seriously. 
  • Portugal vs. London
I’m Portuguese. And I like it. I will complain about my country. And complain about the country I live in. I will also say lovely things and to-do things in both. And there will be words/posts in both languages. Mostly because there are words I have no idea how to say in English so I make them up. Biiiig time. I think this will end up being the very big purpose of my blog. I really want to be able to share my English frustrations by screaming in words every time someone asks me what are my plans for the weekend or what I've eaten for lunch. WHO THE HELL CARES. Anyway. I think I'll dedicate a post to that. 

So that's pretty much it. For now. 

Enjoy!
