Daily check-in: theyallhateus.com

Some spectacular Wednesday randoms via one of my few absolute daily check-ins - Aussie fash blog theyallhateus. PS Off to Howards Storage World today to get me some organised-ness! Fridge, pantry, laundry, bathroom, you name it, there is a chaos-antidote at Howards for it. PPS There may just be a whopper of a giveaway happening here soon. Watch this space yo. Happy Hump Day!

Oh, and before I go, this is one blog post (on another favourite of mine) that I know you're going to L-O-V-E! 

17 bookmark-worthy sites I (only) discovered over Chrissie

And read into it what you will, but this particular list is almost entirely made up of food blogs. But GREAT ones. Healthy ones. And yes, I'm currently very much enjoying researching the concept of "raw food". Eating lots of raw, plant based food fills me right up (it's the strangest thing!) and feels good. It feels right. I crave it. PS I also have some amazing new books I'm going to share with you soon! Bon Appétit!

I'm back! Nine things I learned while I was gone:

Hellooooooooo! That was a long break, huh? Well school is back and so is the TT blog (yaaay!), so thank you so much for bearing with me! I hope you all had beautiful Christmas-sss and New Years-sss - here are 9 things I learned over the past 4 weeks:

(above) I learnt that a matching shoe/bag combo will get you far in life. Well, it will get you out the door looking "put-together", anyway... Wearing: K Jacques sandals, Country Road pants, Vanessa Bruno bag.

(above) I learnt that Mr Tonic's parents house is rather a nice way to wake up on Australia Day. Even when the weather is anything but.

(above) I learnt that Mr Tonic's parents house is rather a nice place for lunch on Australia Day!

(above) I learnt that our new breeze block wall beneath the front deck is going to look a little bit special. And yes, it will be Palm-Springs-white.

(above) I learnt that a Yellow Juju Hat goes far in elevating one's general disposition. Oh, plus they look damn good on a wall! Click to buy (Large, $650 or Small, $399).

(above) I learnt that owners of childrens toy shops took lessons in creative writing. Either that or they all moonlight as comedians.

(above) I learnt that organic Broccoli Sprouts are the new culinary black. Mine, anyway. One of theee healthiest things you can munch on, and they really do spruce up a salad!

(above) I learnt that good things must be purchased in twos (one for the shower, one for the basin). This is my current cleanser - Simplicite "Plant Gel Cleanser 1". Gentle, creamy, foaming, smells like roses? Tick, tick, tick, tick. I know. Buy it here.

(above) Vintage Levi 501 shorts, Kaye Quiney top, Mr Tonic's Gucci watch, Isabel Marant sneakers.

(above - and below is what I'm wearing today!) I learnt that the cost per wear on my new Isabel Marant Bobby (or Betty or whatever they're called) sneakers may in fact be as little as 11 cents by the end of the year. So good they sold out at Net-a-porter in, like, 2 days. Quick or the dead, people!

(above) Bassike dress, Michael Kors watch (click to buy), Isabel Marant sneakers.

And PS You'll have seen all these happy snaps already if you follow tabletonic on Instagram. What in the name of Tonic is Instagram you ask? "Fast, beautiful - AND FREE - photo sharing on your iPhone". Check it out, but be warned, it's a time muncher!

SO much more to share. See you tomorrow!

Hurry! The Table Tonic 25% off sale ENDS SOON!

I hope you've all had a beautiful, calm and healthy(!) start to the year. I'll be back soon with oodles more Tonic to see you through those morning cuppas in 2012! PS Don't forget, the Table Tonic monster sale must end soon, so get those orders in! See you soon! xLouise
