After my no-buddies-on-my-birthday realisation, I received some beautiful comments from you guys. And I figured, on-line friendies are just as (if not more so) real. More importantly, they know just as well how to paaaah-tay.
And the lovely Miss Maims of Accidental Wonderland came up with an ingenious idea…
So, Floggers, I’m inviting you to come and join me for a cyber party over at Instagram next Friday, 21st September (from 8pm to 9pm) to celebrate…whatever you want.
Why does it have to take a special reason to pour the bubbly ?
Maybe you kicked some awesome goals at home or at work. Maybe you’re just god damn glad it’s the weekend!
Then, get a little fancy. Put on a pretty frock and some heels. (Yes Kevin and Joe, you’d both look great in a dress :))
Who cares if it’s just you and the kids in the lounge room! Grab some yummy nibblies and your favourite poison, err, I mean, beverage.
Snap the occasion , post it on Instagram with the hashtag #FYBFparty.
Of course the festivities will be marked with an FYBF Vlog at a later date.
I can’t do this without your support, photos and shining personalities.
Are ya in???
And while we’re on the topic of celebrations, my gorgeous friend Veronica is back with another fab giveaway!
To welcome the arrival of Spring, she’s offering Floggers the chance to win….

Love it! The best thing about Spring……lighter mornings and nights, the smell of freesias, the first BBQ, shaving the legs, fixing up the toenails…and of course feeling the warmth and glow of the sun!

That is such an awesome idea. I do have a dinner to attend IRL, but I will post a pic from there! Which means I will also need to create an Instagram account. Am I behind the times or what!?

Kell Kelly says
Sorry I cannot make the party. Next time!
I have shared the giveaway on facebook as public. what’s my favourite thing about Spring?
I love everything that this season brings,
It adds colour to so many things.
Plants blossoming and welcoming smiles,
Gorgeous flowers that go for miles.
The fresh new fashion with colours so bright,
My white pastey legs get to see some light.
Nice warm weather and pleasant scents,
I love the joy that Spring presents!
