Sexy Pink

I have only put sexy pink because today in class I had the students do group role-plays on sexual harassment. I put them into groups of 3 or 4 and they had to chose a type of harassment, the context it occurred, steps to address it in a safe way and what the legislation says. They had to write small scripts and act it out to the rest of the class while they were video-taped. I was so impressed with how well they did - I went to my office for half an hour or so and by crikey, when I got back the class was buzzing!!!! It was fantastic. If I'd known how keen they were to do this sort of thing, I'd have got the camera out sooner. So in a couple of weeks, I might do film making for a couple of our recreation activities. Not sure it will be in the same league as Paddock of the Damned et al, but I'm sure they will come up with something interesting (by the way, in the movies Mr Ruby Two Shoes copied for me, there wasn't the one with the American cast - what was that one?).

Anyway, on to the colour challenge! Not so much sexy pink as pretty pink.

The first is my lovely daphne that is budding - although the picture isn't great. I initially had this planted in a different place in the garden, but it wasn't doing well. So MLB shifted it and now it's thriving.

The second picture is my trusty hottie that has been with me from before I decided I needed an electric blanket - it must have been when I still lived in Auckland. MLB uses it in the spare room when he has to get to work ridiculously early and is being considerate about not waking me in the morning

This is the first of my jewellery pictures. I am a teeny tiny bit addicted to jewellery (gemstones mainly, as opposed to glittery stones). I have lots. I like to colour co-ordinate my jewellery with my clothing. Hmm. I bought this pendant made out of rhodonite off eBay (US) a few years ago. All gemstones are supposed to have healing properties. It is supposed to sooth the nervous system and promote relaxation. It has been known as a "rescue stone".

These are some flowers I bought myself - some sort of chrysanthemum. They are dying. MLB has suggested drying them - but I am not especially fussed on dried flowers. Although these would turn out quite nicely I think.

Trusty Q-Tol. I can't remember why I bought this - but it has come in handy for bites and such.

I got this ring in Galway, Ireland. Even though it is super sparkly, I liked the flower shape. I don't wear it enough (could be due to an excessive amount of rings that only fit on my ring fingers).

Lush soap - yummy and good enough to eat. It is a sad thing that Lush does not exist in Nelson - if only you could buy a franchise. Sigh

This flower is attached to an elastic band and I had visions of wearing it in my hair, but I've nt done that yet. It is quite big and makes a fairly full-on statement I think. Maybe I am just being shy.

Rose quartz. It promotes love, balance and healing. I went through a phase where I was really interested in the healing properties of crystals and gemstones. I am less into it now. In fact, I think Nelson is lacking in such a store. There was a fabulous one in Dublin. And there's a great one in Wellington as well. Hmm, perhaps an online store possibility (I am always searching......)

My shades of pink winter coat. I haven't worn it much. I think I have been put off a bit by my boss (a boy) saying nice pyjamas. He was only joking, but still..........

A gorgeous ruby pendant. I love it. It is made of natural rubies which are faceted and it really sparkles, but not in a over the top bling bling way. I don't wear it enough either.

I have a few pink clothes as well, but I haven't dug them out of the wardrobe. I think this is enough things :-)
