Work Space

Research shows that the more time an employer puts into designing a proper work environment, the more content and more productive the employee. Proper lighting and ergonomic/functional surroundings are the key to high retention, production and dedication.

Research also shows that holding meetings, even redundant weekly ones, in different locations can inspire creativity and problem solving.

Taking these two things into account, I (Darcie) have been on the search for the perfectly inspiring workspaces. Yes, plural to keep the creativity flowing.

I have two coffee shops in three locations and my parents sweet deck as potential office addresses. They all offer quiet, well decorated and uplifting spaces so I feel settled as I stare at my computer and get things done!

At what point do I have to keep "office hours"?

Eye See Magazine

As most of you know we have started a magazine. On this blog you can now follow the process of the magazine, how we both are brainstorming, writing emails, drinking coffee, getting annoyed, updating news, and a lot about our emotions and thoughts during this process until the Mag will be launched.

(I knew this was possible!)

Fresh Start!

NO, the blog is not dead. (it was just on hold) Darcie and Marie are having some new brilliant ideas or more a project. (that of course was discussed way back in Hassans Cafe' in South Africa) He needs the credit for sure..But keep reading this fabilous blog that soon will update you on what this new project is and why we have this blog together when we are in different parts of the world..I know you are thinking "what are 2 pretty girls up to now?" curious? Just hold your horses and keep checking out the blog and you will find out more and maybe even be involved...










2 Pretty girls up to any mischief?

Countdown

With only 5 days left we have had a brilliant idea - we will do the following 5 things before we leave:


5. Run a marathon
4. Bake a cookie the shape of South Africa
3. Chase baboons and adopt them as our children
2. Give our left over money to the street kids
1. Be pirates

This is going to be a great week!

Pack or be packed

Don't worry, we have a plan . . .

Shove it all in a giant trash bag . . .

Then take a break!!!!

Welcome back!

Clapping hands, jumping up and down. That's how excited Two Brunettes and a Blonde were on the domestic airport to pick up Evelien. (after we had filled our hungry tummies with a toasted sandwish for lunch, which we ate so fast that the waiter wasn't even fast enough to ask if it taste well). We were slightly afraid that Evelien would have changed her haircolour leaving impossible for us to recognize her.

It was a strange early morning as we all were awake by 4 am, Evelien used the extra time to unpack and settle in. Darcie was convinced we should do workout with Gilad (a itunes workout video), I wanted to punch her right in the face and got jealous when she was the first one to fall back asleep. This day turned out in a slow pase and at 6.30 we were ready for bed.

PAARRRTTTTAAAYYYY!!!!

Today is Marie's last day at the radio station. We couldn't be more delighted. (What?!?!) It is true. Marie was made for freedom, not this 1-6 prison of news and anger. Okay, that is a bit dramatic, but, truthfully, the time has come for Marie to get a real job as full-time citizen of the world.
