Inspiration of the Week

Last week i found it hard to just stop my busy life and be inspired. Now, I feel like i've been saving my inspiration for this week!

I am a graphic designer. I love design. I love beautiful things. I love images that make me think and feel at the same time. And now, i also love Fabien Barral.

He doesn't know me. But i love him. Well, his work anyway!
My Inspiration of the Week this week is dedicated to him. Hopefully he'll read this and smile, knowing that he can inspire people from all over the world. (He lives in France)

Here are a few images of his work from his numerous websites:

He has a site dedicated to his craft — graphic design. In which he is AMAZING. And i don't say that lightly, because i am surrounded by artists and designers everyday.

He has a site www.harmonie-interieure.com/home.htm on which he sells products that he designs and creates with his wife. If shipping wasn't so expensive i think i would buy everything!!!

And the 3rd site is his blog Graphic-Exchange. Of which, i will now be a dedicated reader. He shows us what inspires HIM and his personal work. There's just so much info: i'm in inspiration overload!

I hope you all enjoy this just as much as me, even if you're not designers :) And, if you read this Fabien, thank you for inspiring us all!

Top 10 Things to NOT Say on a First Date

I was tweeting aimlessly the other day and the trending topic was “things not to say on a first date” — i thought i had heard some bad lines from my dating experience, but some of the things people were coming up with were hilarious! I was almost late to work cuz i couldn't stop reading.

8. ...so if you're anything like your sister, i won't have to bother with a massage
7. i hope you're not this slow in the bedroom
6. i saw your best friend on facebook and man she's is hottttt (that was mine too — i haven't got to his story yet!! and yes my best friend is hot, but that's not what i want to hear on a date! luv u K)
5. and...your name was?

OMG...he read my blog!

Ok so the scariest thing happened to me. The guy i'm seeing. The guy i like. Tiger. He read my blog!

So, not only did he read about my weird crazy dating stories and see the slightly neurotic side of me, but he also read about how much i liked him when i met him at Halloween, AND how i prepped songs for our supper date at my place!! Oh boy. Embarrassing.

And I honestly thought he might just walk away.
But he didn't.

And yes. He's probably reading this right now. hi sexy ;)

So... things are going well. Date #who-knows-what is coming up soon. He's still just as awesome, actually more awesome, than i even thought he was going to be.

I'm still trying to figure out:

#1 — why he's still single, and
#2 — what's his big bad secret ;)

I'll let you know if i find out anything (or P.S. tiger u can comment on this blog post Anonymously and keep my lovely readers informed. hehe)

iphone vs. dating




Read this ridiculously funny study that someone compiled of useless iphone facts!
It really is quite amusing! And honestly with the amount of people you see on iphones these days, are these stats really so hard to believe?

sigh... an iphone is the only thing missing from my life...end sigh.

Weekend of Fun!!

Are you guys as excited as i am to see New Moon??!! Hells ya! Even though the movie's probably nowhere near as great as the book, you can definitely still enjoy the hotness! My plan is to head to Toronto next weekend and watch New Moon with another devoted fan, ValTheCityGal ;) We're going to have an ultimate girlie weekend and it's going to rock! I'm sure Val will write an in-depth blog post about it: she is a great writer and doesn't let any detail go un-noticed! Let's not let any secrets slip ok Val? hehe ;)

Wonder what's on the itinerary....?





I'll give you guys a recap when i get back!! xo

NO LONGER Friends With an Ex...

So, i'm officially taking back my previous Blog Post statement about Being Friends With An Ex.

Shit went down today, and my revelation is that i think some people are just not made to see eye-to-eye. I can't take it anymore. So much BS and it's over 5 years later!! Cmon!! It's ridiculous!

I won't go into details and throw fuel in the fire, but i can honestly say that i'm done trying to be friendly. I just wish i didn't work with him everyday... :(
What about you guys... Are you friends with your ex? are you making it work?

MTV Europe Music Awards 09

We've been spoiled by great music award shows this year! 2009 has held some of the best award shows in years in my opinion.
As you've all seen by now, the MTV Europe Music Awards were simply AMAZING. The performances were out of this world. I just wanted to share my 2 personal favorite performances of the night.
#1. Leona Lewis. She is simply fabulous. What a voice!




#2. My other equal favorite is Beyonce. What a great performer, and what a body!!!





Enjoy!

Roxys' Top 10 Dating Tips : Tip #1

Roxy's Tip #1 is to make HIM feel comfortable. Once a guy feel that you're laid-back and relaxed about being out with him, the pressure on HIM comes off and he'll start to act more like himself! And when he's acting like himself, you're more inclined to know if you want to see him for date #2!
From ROXY

So, smile, compliment and be friendly. This always seems to be the #1 way to score a second date (if u want one of course!).

Inspiration of the Week

I found these photos this week and they completely inspired me to finally decorate my bedroom!! I was looking for a series of photos that i completely ♥ , and these are it! They look amazing framed on my desk and on the walls of my bedroom.













His name is Tiger ;)

So, last night, i had my first date with “Tiger Woods” from the Halloween party this weekend. We went to a cute little restaurant near his place. His choice. Awesome food, awesome company. Just awesome. It's really rare that i say this, but i don't think the date could have been any better! It's pretty exciting actually! He's easy to talk to, cute, funny, mature, made me proper English tea!... hmm pretty perfect.

Now, I'm just left wondering what's wrong with him!? lol
Most days, it's hard to believe that there's such thing as Happily Ever After, but on dates like yesterday your heart starts believing again... see sometimes Roxy is mushy ;) xo

Halloween romance ♥


So... who knew a Vampire and Tiger Woods could have such a connection?!

Ok , so you all guessed: my exciting news is that i met someone who seems funny, very cute, mature, sweet and normal!! lol I only met him for the first time at my Halloween Party on Saturday. It was kind of a setup... we have some mutual friends. I was the vampire (remember the sexy vampire costume? It worked ladies!!)and he was Tiger Woods. A pretty damn good look-a-like if you ask me! We talked all night and he seems pretty awesome from what i know. I would die if he read this post right here, but i'm taking a chance and doing it anyway.

So i was kinda freaking because he hadn't called, and he had seemed so interested in doing something this week. So tonight, after some good advice from a great friend ValTheCityGal, i just texted him. It's already been 2 days, so i figured what's the harm?

Anyway, it worked out great. I texted, he called and he said i beat him to the punch - he was planning on calling me tonight. So... i was lady-like and let him decide where he's taking me for dinner on Wednesday! sweet! Sounds like fun! I'm sure i'll be tweeting all about it on Wednesday before the date. I'm already actually nervous for this one. I don't usually get nervous on dates!! I'm the Queen of dating!! lol

Anyhoo, stay tuned Roxy fans!! Wish me luck!! xo
