The Foodie Diary- Free 'Food'IE Lunch :)

Last week Tuesday, 20th September - Thursday, 22nd September and yesterday, Wednesday, 28th September gave my belly AND purse a pat *grins*
I was simply blessed by 'oh-so-wonderful' humans in my life with free lunch! Life is beautiful isn't it?

Now tell me, who doesn't like free food?

Of course I took a few shots of my meals (as usual) for y'all to share in my foodie experience...cause there is love in sharing people!!

Feel free to follow the Instagram handle links for your orders. Gidi Gourmet's weekly menu is superb by the way. Well worth your cash too (although I did get mine for free...twice. *big grin*)

Tuesday, 20th September- 

Gidi TexMex Salad with Parmesan Chips @gidigourmet

The diced plantains in this salad were simply amazing. Definitely a first for me.

Thursday, 22nd September-

Chicken and Chips Salad (of some sort) @weareroadchef

This was from a colleague-turned-friend's mum. She just popped into the office and made my afternoon with this surprise order!

Bless her heart :)

Wednesday, 28th September-

Ham and Cheese Panini Sandwich with Iced Hazelnut Chocolate Latte @mycafeneo

Super Yum!! *licks lips*

Don't you wish you had friends as sweet as mine? *burp*

OMGel!

FYI, I am going to be in touch with my feminine side just a wee bit today.

If anyone had told me 5 years before now that I will actually 'invest' in nail polish some day? Like really? NAIL POLISH? Come on mahn!

But then, here I was a couple of days ago ogling past a series of them and adding six (make that 'seven'- inclusive of the top coat) shades to my cart. But in my defense, this was not just any kind of polish. This was gel nail polish...sans the light!
I know I might be the last to know about it's existence but still, permit me to have a moment of giddiness.

If you think picking just the 'right' Miracle Gel by Sally Hansen is a cup of tea, think again. Cause they all seemed so RIGHT! *lovestruck*

Plus I can't help it that my fingernails and skin happen to blend well with just about any color.                   

                                 Just a liiiitle bit conceited about them. Just a lil'... #FingerFetish

The Beauty Geek who posted lots of swatches (Swatch. I had no idea what that word meant in relation to cosmetics either until five days ago. Apparently, a 'mani-pedi' dictionary exists) didn't help matters. Every shade made me 'oooh' and 'aaah'. Had to even call my 'colleague-turned-friend' over from her work desk to help me out of my dilemma. Yep. That serious.

And then, I FINALLY settled on these beauties:

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

Feels like donkey years since I had on black nail polish. This was definitely getting into my cart. 

My last choice (which took me like forever to make this particular decision) was a shade of green- S-teal The Show. It was a battle between that and Grey Matters.

Couldn't find a swatch of it though but it is pretty much the same shade as the first time I tried out gel nail polish and I loved it. That though needed the UV light thingy...and I paid quite the amount for my manicure that day.

     

I have still got my eyes on a whole lot more, but these two have captured my heart;

The Birthday Suit 

                                  

and Motley Hue.  

                                  

*sigh* So gorgeous.
