"I’m so pretty, oh so pretty…"

I was at work and a lady came in bragging about some Estee Lauder products she picked up at the Chemist for $5 a piece, normally $45 each. So I raced over as I was in desperate need of some more lip gloss and eyeshadow. I asked the girl at the counter why they were [...]

phew and the weekend isn’t even over…

This is the “before” picture. Thank goodness there wasn’t an “after”. I think I’d have to go into hiding. I went out to Scott’s last night as I do every Friday, got dolled up to make myself feel good and was in full party mode. I wore my gorgeous new black glass earrings and my [...]

Wii finally got our free Wii

11:48PM | August 30, 2008 | 3 comments

An unexpected perk we were informed of when we bought the i Mac. We got a free Wii. We were told however, it would take up to 12 weeks to arrive. I wanted the computer not the Wii so it didn’t bother me. Although after having used Wii fit a few times I was quite [...]

I have some beautiful friends…

Danielle is a registered nurse living in Darwin in the Northern Territory who I’ve known for the last 13 years of my life. She’s so strong, has a brilliant mind and a caring heart. She is capable of achieving anything she sets her mind to. Danielle is one of my truest friends and I feel [...]

Thank Heaven for Little Girls

My Pop and my Dad used to sing this to me when I was little, especially if I was upset and feeling low. I also found it quite embarrassing when my dad used to belted it out when I was a teenager. Now I find it delightful. So much so I hunted down the movie [...]

Sickly Steve

This is where you’ll find Steve when he’s home. Asleep. On my favourite couch. Making himself comfortable in my dent. Lucky I love him. He’s got what I had a few weeks ago. Thought he was invincible. He thought wrong and now he’s paying for it. I’ve been an awesome nurse, but I don’t know [...]

Ok, so I was so busy shopping and lugging around a sick little stubborn husband to take any photos. I promise I will next time. Promise. I did however manage to buy all the new work clothes Steve needed and the 2nd book of the Twilight Series, New Moon. Also, just as a little splurge [...]

Rouse Hill Shopping Center

4th Saturday of every Month The Hawkesbury Harvest trail is a very popular attraction in Western Sydney. We have an abundance of fresh, organic produce grown by locals and very awesome prices. I’ve lived here 2-3 years now and I still haven’t done the trail. It’s a lot of driving. Problem solved. Rouse Hill Shopping [...]

Got it Covered

I’m not a messy person. A little cluttered, yes. Not messy. Steve on the other hand is a dirty dirty boy. Greasy hands seem to find their way to my white arm rests and they pull out the chair by the headrest. So in order to protect my new precious I made her some covers. [...]

Wind beneath my wings…

I’m getting out of this crazy town and heading to Brisbane. YAY :D. I really need a change of scenery and to visit a friend. Funnily enough the trip is costing less than a full tank of gas so I’m pretty happy about that. It’s only for the a weekend, 4 crazy lazy days with [...]

Spring into feminine action…

03:17PM | August 26, 2008 | 3 comments

I’ve been in need a of a project lately. A bit of a creative pick me up. Something to keep my hands and mind busy from thought. I didn’t feel like scrapbooking, painting or decorating. I feel uninspired without a good camera and even been feeling a bit blah when it came to blogging. I [...]

Lust is a Red Dress

04:18PM | August 25, 2008 | 3 comments

Spring is in the air and dresses haunt my mind. I miss wearing them. I’m drawn to more classic styles. Emily’s dress sense makes me melt. I like simple lines that cinch in my waist, make the more of my hips and have a v-neckline to accentuate my bust. Wrap dresses are by far my [...]

Busy Sundays

I was a very productive little woman yesterday. I weeded the front lawn and garden, the beginning of my preparations to restore the lawn during spring. Freezing winters are bad for lawn in case you’re wondering. I cleaned the boys room and scooped enough poop to make a pyramid. Did several loads of washing and [...]

Bottle O Fun

Charlie has been driving us nuts. Whenever the weather is really cold (tonight it’s -1) he likes to stay up and run around like a crazy boy with Toby. Toby on the other hand would much rather curl up under the blankets like a smart puppy. So Charlie barks at him, continually. Toby is stubborn [...]

Rock Star Party

My friend Steve is hosting a Rock Star party at his place in October and I’m so excited about it. I’ve been contemplating what to wear for awhile now and I think I’ve finally decided. That said I still have plenty of time to change my mind. If anyone has any suggestions of who I [...]

I bought 2 gorgeous silk-knit scarves for $15 (one is a gift) from a little Asian stall at the supermarket. It’s a beautiful teal colour and I can’t wait to wear it out tonight. I’m wearing black jeans, Grey long sleeve top and my black denim vest with silver buttons. Totally loving how it feels [...]

Things have been a little shit lately. Don’t get me wrong, I have a good life, a man that loves and supports me, friends of all kinds and I laugh everyday. I can’t ask for much more but that doesn’t mean I don’t try. I wish my health was better. The doctor thinks I’m borderline [...]

Clip-on Earrings Anyone?

06:56PM | August 20, 2008 | 2 comments

$1 was all these sweet little things cost. I love the detail, so different. One of the lady’s looks left, the other looks right. I love my little cameos. I think I’ll add them to a top, a cushion or something else… I’ll find a use for them one day. I don’t like to wear [...]

Cute as a Button Tack

03:49PM | August 20, 2008 | 3 comments

I’m loving this crafty idea by All things Lovely blogger Kylie. Basically you cover buttons with gorgeous fabric and using hot glue, attach a thumbtack to the back of the button. So sweet and easy. Perfect for anyone stuck in a cubicle at work or even just to jazz up your cork board at home.

I finally bought the first of the Twilight Series and I was so enthralled I literally didn’t put it down and finished it within hours. Vampires are so cool. I’m off to try and find the other 3 books. I’m so hooked… Also I managed to snap up a super cheap copy of Katy Perry’s [...]

Dinner Party

The lanterns hung, the little crystals dangled gracefully, the candles glowed and the crystal shined. Everyone was so amazed at how perfect everything looked. They were greeted with a roaring fireplace, hibiscus champagne and nibbles. Everyone dressed so smart, it was like a night at the Ritz. Natalie took all the photos as I was [...]

I still get the odd email inquiring about my wedding dress. and now I even have a comment on my blog about it. So you asked for it… It’s funny as I only bought it 2 months before the wedding. I was originally planning on wearing a long formal Mr K bridesmaid dress. I didn’t [...]
