What We Learnt in 2013

This year has been one of the most weird and wonderful years’ for us three princesses by far. There were ups – growing friendships that we never saw coming, and then there were downs – losing people we never saw going away.  But there was one main lesson:




 So what’s actually been happening in the lives of our 3 princesses, you ask? Well, here goes. . .

@Smurfett_Li:


The beginning of this year started off a bit shaky for me. But I soon realized that what I thought was the loss of friendships, turned out to be a discovery of the real ones. But as they say, “You live and learn”. 

This was a pretty painful lesson to learn

Now enough with the life lessons, let’s get to the good stuff!  So first off, I got a cool new job that lets me chill with the people I’ve secretly stalked *sshh*. The other day we got to have coffee with a cool new friend…wait for it……Charl Crous! We may have mentioned him just a few times before on our blog….just in passing *says in high-pitched unbelievable voice*.  Yes guys, chilling with the rich and famous really is a day job! So basically I’m convinced that I’ve found my calling!

Sadly I was too busy working to snap a pic
But *wink wink * nudge nude* Charl - next time lunch and a pic is on you


And in even BIGGER news: I also got my license this year *whoop whoop* but I’m still tryna get the hang of the whole driving thing.  Poor Carrie (@Carriekups) is often the victim of my driving. And yes, I said *victim* for a reason #NuffSaid

@Jackey_101:


Here is another missy who also got herself a new job! Since qualifying as a teacher, she is now enjoying her 2-week holidays every 3months *aahh the life of a teacher* . I really should’ve stuck with studying the teaching thing…. On second thought, teachers don’t get paid to have coffee with Charl Crous. It’s ok Jackey, you can stay our designated teacher. She also became an aunt to a gorgeous lil boy named Matthew aka her new shopping buddy (and possibly new way of luring Keegan – we hear he likes kids).  Ooh ooh and not forgetting that she too is on her way to being a licensed driver! Yaris, HERE. WE. COME!

Matthew is definitely how we are going to get Keegs to notice Jackey

And as for our other musketeer..

 @CarrieKups


Well when I asked her about her year in review, she said that this one pic typified her year:



The first few months of the year started off a bit rocky for Carrie too. She realized that nothing lasts forever, whether it’s good or bad. But the thing that she learned was that through it all – good or bad – she will always have people she can count on. 

So whether you taking a quick break from your manic day at work to get a small giggle from our blog, or enjoying your school holidays and want to brush up on your stalking skills while you have some spare time ( we all gotta start somewhere), always remember to appreciate the special people who are are in your life right now and even the ones that were once a part of your life coz after all, some people come into your life as blessings and others just as lessons.




Happy holidays! Beauties! Let the shopping B-E-G-I-N!

*Love&Peace*

Nail Art Ideas for Christmas 2013!

So it's no surprise that we absolutely ADORE Christmas. What's not to love about family, friends, friendly strangers (not in that creepy kind of way), pudding, pressies, and of course the Christmas atmosphere?

So why not incorporate a little bit of cheer on our nails! That's rights girls, we decided to go all festive on our nails and toes-seys. Come the 21st of Dec, all our nails and toes shall be spreading the Christmas cheer (that's our contribution to the world of art) Here is our pick of great nail ideas for Christmas!

1. The Santa Hat French Tip


Definitely something @Jackey_101 would try...

2. The Snowflake Gel Overlay


A lil more of @CarrieKups' style

3. The Mistletoe 


Best excuse to kiss a cute guy,
just raise your hand in the air and he has to lay one on you
(just make sure you get him to stand under your mistletoe nail art *starts planning*

4. Santa's Blinged Out Little Helpers 


@Smuefett_li has already claimed this one as hers

5. A Little Toe Magic

Don't forget to do them toes girls!

So here is yet another way to go festive this season. Which will you be doing?

*Love & Peace *

Carols by Candlelight and the #ObamaSelfie

Welcome to Christmas! 

Our Christmas cheer saw us taking a bit of inspiration from everyone's favourite President, Big B (Barack Obama for those of you who aren't on nickname status with the Pres), while we mixed it up with a lil tradition a la Carols by Candlelight:

We all know this selfie #MostPowerfulSelfie e-v-e-r! #ObamaSelfie

Can anyone say #ChristmasSelfie ?


Then there was our version #MostChristmasySelfie e-v-e-r!
Ok fine selfies aside, we have really been getting into Christmas! Yes, we update our statuses everyday to the countdown to the BIG DAY!


On a serious note (yes, even we have those), remember to enjoy Christmas because as Charlotte Carpenter once said:

"If Christmas isn't found in your heart, you won't find it under a tree."

But before I go, I have to share the #MostAwesomeSelfie ever! Here is one of our many contributions to 2013 - The Year of the Selfie! My favourite one by Far!




*Love and Peace* my little elves!

Christmas is HERE! Well almost...

Now in this short few months that we have blogged our thoughts, I'm sure ya'll might have noticed that we 3 absolutely HEART Christmas!


Sucks, if you born in January...nobody has any money left..sorry @CarrieKups


A time for family, friends, and well of course SHOPPING! Sorry debit card, you might just be the only person who doesn't like Christmas (oooh and maybe my credit card as well hmmm *thinking*) but as we approach the Festive Season, we had a little throwback...

Christmas is a time for reconciliation, reflection, and growth as we approach the year ahead. If that school bully ticked you off in the year - Forgive. If your parents might have annoyed you in the year - Forget. And if you might have disappointed yourself - Let Go and Grow.

We decided on the great Nelson Mandela's words as our Festive Season thought:

"“One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.”

So here is to Christmas and all beauty and love is stands for! If you are celebrating the birth of Jesus like us three, then remember to truly celebrate the meaning of Christmas for you and your family! And if not, Christmas still brings the message of love, peace, and joy for all! After all, that's the feeling we get from spending time with our loved ones :)

As always beauties, *Love & Peace*

Or should we say "Joy to the World!" *and que Christmas carols NOW!* Go! Jackey, start the intro...

2013: The Year of the 'Selfie' - even Pres Obama shows us no one can escape it

What do President Barazk Obama, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, and David Cameron all have in common with the girls of Fairytales & Stalkers?

Sure we all pretty powerful peeps (they are all heads of state and well we are heads of...of...of..awesomeness ok #DontJudgeUs we still making our mark on this world lol), but what else?

We ALL can't resist a selfie!


Sometimes our moms look like Michelle - slightly embarrassed by us


Yesterday this pic surfaced of these 3 taking a selfie (probably one of the most powerful selfies in the world). How often are you going to see 2 Prime Ministers and a President huddle in for a group selfie? 

While some people think it was super inappropriate to do this at Tata's Memorial, I think it just shows that as powerful as they may be, they are still human - 3 friends capturing a moment. Insensitive- maybe. Disrespectful - you decide. But to me, it isn't something we should be focusing on; don't detract from Madiba's legacy. Besides, I can't really see Madiba getting angry over something like this (after all, he is the man who pretty much taught compassion to a nation). But on a much lighter note, I thought I'd highlight some of our favourite selfies - seeing as we too now have something important with the World's Leaders.

Warning: some of these are really really bad! But we have awesome memories attached to every one (Jackey and Jen may kill me for this):

There was the SharkTank...

The most wishful selfie ever
"Three (future) WAGs on the try line


Then there was the beach...

Cutest photobombers ever I'd say...


There was the Playhouse...

Yes I know, that haircut was a BIG mistake
The fringe is growing out 

And then there was even the dance floor...

And you guys say I can't multitask
I busted moves AND selfied!


So this was pretty much our 2013: The Year of The Selfie. So I'm sure you too have some pretty awesome selfies (even though people tell you its lame, forget them because we all do it). Enjoy them and remember a selfie is just a memory so don't take it too seriously (yes, I am saying please don't actually try and be sexy in one - just have fun!) Oh dam, I probably should have taken my own advice before I took this one *gasp*

As always my lovelies...

Forget the Haters...cause Somebody Loves Ya!

Ok so Miley Cyrus once said (or should I say sang), "And we can't stop, and we won't stop....it's we who bout that life" a bunch of other things that some people were horribly dismayed at (there was some twerking involved of course) but then there was this line "Forget the haters cause somebody loves ya."

Now before you think I am using my favourite Disney star to teach life lessons. Keep Calm (yeah I am still in that phase) and think about it - Forget the Haters cause there IS somebody who loves ya. It's a little lesson in gratitude...

The other day I was feeling extremely down because it came to light that a few people weren't too thrilled at my existence (aka they just don't like me). I wrecked my brain trying to find out what it is that I did so wrong - there were some tears, then there was anger, a feeling of rejection, and eventually there was insight:

.
So what I am actually trying to say is chin up and smile. Even when you feeling down, look at everything through the eyes of gratitude and be grateful for all those somebodies that LURV YA! And of course,be like Miley and forget the haters...


But let's not call them peasant now haha (this one is just someone creating there own pic here), however, I thought this would make you smile for the day. Thanks to my bestie @Jackey_101 for sending this one through. It brightened my day - See what happen when you focus on those somebodies that love ya?

As always *Love and Peace*, my little peaches

Ps: I am one of those people that love a ripe, juicy peach :)

#RipTata - Our Respect to a Great Man

While the world pays tribute to a great man, we too would like to remember Tata Madiba...


Because of his commitment to growing a nation, we three had the opportunity to be friends...

Never forget to value your freedom

*Love & Peace, guys*
