Last payday I swore to myself that I wouldn't give in to the temptation of buying anything because a) I'm trying to save for a house and b) I had to pay off something super exciting this week. Somehow the little gremlins got into my back account though and got me a few little Lush goodies as a special little treat. Photo from the Lush website- I can't get my camera working :( I'll start with my staple Lush product - the Honey I Washed the Kids Soap purchased for $6.95 My lord does this smell divine! I'm a liquid soup/shower gel type girl- but I like to shave with a bar of soap (not sure if this is normal or just me?). This soap is super smooth and has a beautiful honey scent. I'm not sure why this latest bar is an odd brownish colour- but the last few bars I've had have been a gorgeous light yellow. It also saddens me that they no longer have the little honeycomb top as it was super cute, but I do understand that it was coarse and scratched quite a few peop...

I'd like to start off with saying I'm sorry I haven't been active the last few days. For some reason my camera/computer wont let me upload my photos, so I'm trying to sort that out. (Very frustrating). I do however have plenty of content planned for you guys, including my 'Halloween' costume. a mini haul, two reviews and a FOTD post. On a side note; I can officially say I no longer need to bother filling in my learners log book. Yup, that's right, I finally bit the bullet and went for my P's. AND I PASSED! I promise I will be back soon with more fun and exciting posts soon! What's been exciting/happening in your life recently? Until next time... xx

I've never fully understood the whole aspect of a 'career'. I'm constantly surrounded by people who tell me 'it's just a job', 'it pays the bills' and 'go for a job that will earn you lots of money'. But your know what? It's not just a job. I currently work full time as a receptionist working 8:30am-5pm five days a week, that's the majority of my days taken. I also work casually on weekends doing photos- that can take between 2-10 hours (depending what is on that weekend) and at random and stupid times. Yes, it pays the bills, but any job you get will, right? Here's my point. To make a career out of something you need to study for years and years, have experience and the money to spend on further training. People put themselves through dept, unpleasant university housing and two minute noodle dinners to gain the qualifications needed to obtain their chosen career. And 99% of the time, that person hates their job or they can't ...

Hey everyone! I'm back again today with a quick haul post for you. I will be doing reviews of each product at a later date so keep an eye out. (Top left) Revlon gel eyeliners $10 each on sale, Ultra3 lip pencil liner in terracotta (I thought it was an eyeliner, that's why it's with the gels) around $2-3. (Top right) Ultra3 colour me pretty and colour me bold lip crayons $4.95each.   (Top left) Garnier moisture match and BBcream in medium. I can't remember how much these cost, I think the moisturiser was around $7? (Top right) australis neon crush Blush on sale for $2, australis neon crush eyeshadow in LOL on sale for $1. Rimmel 60second nail polish on sale $1. Radox muscle sooth math (gel?) and jasmin candle came in a set for $10

I'm back once again with another 'wishlist' for you guys. Except this isn't really a list as much as it is a 'singular item'. But I saw it and fell in love and absolutely had to share it with you all. I'm actually on the hunt for a hair curler, but I know I'll be in the market for a new straightener and dryer soon, so I thought I'd have a quick look around and see if I could find a cute set. I wasn't let down. Behold the ghd rose gold deluxe set   Unfortunately, this set doesn't include a hair curler, but I could easily just pick one up from the same company, right?  However, this is a slight sting to the bank account at a cost of $370. I love the gorgeous rose gold (one of my favorite colours) and black together and the sleek design. I've heard amazing things about ghd product and I'm considering biting the bullet and pressing the 'add to my cart' button I'm all to familiar with.   You can purchase and view more ghd prod...

First things first I'm a realist- and by realist I mean I'll admit my addiction to my social media. I've been sitting here starring at the heading line atop my page trying to come up with a catchy, punny heading and honestly, I can't even think of something even slightly amusing or clever. Where to find me seems fitting enough, so lets just pretend I'm witty and I've come up with something better. Moving on, today's post is exactly as the heading suggests- where you can find me on social media.

Would you like to see a Facebook page or YouTube Chanel by me? Let me know below. Until next time... xx

Its Motivational Moday again today! I'll be quite honest with you, today has been a terrible day so far. In summery, I started the day off missing my wake up call for gym and ended up being late to work. While I was still pretty happy at that stage- a certain 'know it all' old lady filling in for someone who is away sick at work decided that she would have a go at me for doing my job. Yep- for literally doing my job (what!?). Anyway, after trying not to explode in rage (which it takes quite a lot to get me to that point) and listening to this lady yell and carry on, I was feeling pretty deflated and ready for a strong drink (and I'm not a heavy drinker). Thank you to my very kind and caring work colleague who stepped in and told her she was being extremely rude. Back to the point of Motivational Monday, I decided to base todays quote around my situation today. Pic from Google Images While I'll admit, I'm still not happy with this lady or the situation, I am feel...

This afternoon I found myself running out of things to do and, as my boredom increased, I decided to do what any other girl would do- muck around with makeup.

Photo from website - my camera is currently being fixed :( I love The Body Shop . I love their scents, their range of products and their easy to use website. The Body Shop gives you a huge taste of everything, from makeup, skincare, bath and body and gift sets. A few months ago I went through a stage where I really wanted to switch up my skin care as the products I was using weren't working as well for my skin as they used to. Frustrated, I began doing a little research and that's when I came across The Body Shops tea tree oil range. I found a few different blogs that talked about the products, and I couldn't really find much that was said bad about the range, so I went ahead and sourced out the products on their website. After a while of debating with myself, I decided to purchase the night cream and the little facial brush and the starter kit, just in case this product didn't go well on my skin so I didn't waste money on loads of product I wasn't going to use...

Like thousands of others out there, I am not immune to the feelings of worthlessness and lack of motivation. There will be multiple times a day when I need to remind myself of all the good I have done and all the good I can do.I'm not perfect- and I don't believe that there is anyone out there that is. The fact is, everyone feels both negative and positive emotions. Its how we react to these emotions that makes or breaks us as individuals. I've decided to put a little positivity in my Mondays (and hopefully yours) by starting a Motivation Monday series where I share with you a quote that has got me thinking positively either about a situation or the future. Personally, I find inspirational quotes get my mind thinking, my imagination going and my thoughts on a more positive track. So, in light of this new beginning, I'll leave you with this quote from CS Lewis. Pic from Google Images What gets you motivated and inspires your positivity? Until next time... xx

 If you read my blog, you'd know that I absolutely love Lush products and recently I wrote a wishlist post all about the Lush products I was dying to try. Out of all the people I thought would read my blog, I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that my step mum (hi Michelle) reads it too. Which, now that I think about it, isn't really much of a surprise. I guess I just was thinking more about the millions of random strangers that could read it and not how many of my family would. Anyway, whether that made much sense or not, on one of her recent trips away- Michelle dropped in to pick me up one of the products on my wishlist- the Mask of Magnaminty. HOW NICE IS THAT!? I've been wanting to try this product for so long so, without further ado, here is my review.  The mask comes in a black container with a screw-on lid and the mixture itself is a lumpy mud like texture in a bright green paste. To clarify- the pictures do not give the colour justice. It's like a mint ...
