Recently, well pretty much all of June, I have had a lot of time off. It's been great but I wish I could have gone overseas for a little trip or something.
Now that would've been ideal.
Now that would've been ideal.
Instead I've just been bumming around the place, procrastinating, stressing about my procrastination and not at any time did I go to the gym. So annoyed.
Excuse that tiny rant, other than that, I had a great weekend. It started hanging with J, going to Burwood to get M's birthday pressie.I haven't been to Burwood in so long, I want to go back sometime this week. I don't know what it is about unfamiliar shopping centres but it makes me want to buy more. We also came across a Japanese store that seemed like Daiso, which have stores in Melbourne. Everything was $2.50, I want to get some stands for my make up brushes and my nail polish. I just love little nic nacs, I could spend hours in there reading all the packaging.
I made spaghetti and cheese Jaffles on Saturday morning and it made me smile seeing them stuck to the top. It never happens!
I also got a Bamboo Tea holder for my Tea bags.
I discovered nailsupplies via the VF forum and ordered myself 9 OPI polishes. They were about 6USD each! I can't believe DJ's charge $19.95 per bottle. I have recently become addicted to nail polish and want to start a collection, D walked past while I was ordering and couldn't understand the need for 9. Men just don't get it. Can't wait for those to come in!
Wait, there's more! I ordered a set of Purple Sigma brushes and also their 'Bare" palette. I've been lemming for the Urban Decay Naked Palette for ages and this bare palette has pretty neutral colours so I was willing to give it a go. I think I will just get the Naked Palette from ebay eventually.
Also purchased: exhibit A.
Sally Hansens Mega Shine top coat - Love it, keeps my nail polish in tact
Maybelline Ridge Filler - I have ridgy nails and this helps smooths them out
Loreal Contour Kohl in Carbon Black - Don't really know why I got this, It's too hard to line my top lid with this, will probably just use to line my lower waterline
Maybelline baby lips, Lip Balm - LOVE it! Leave my lips so baby smooth
Maybelline Falsies Mascara in Blackest Black - Can't wait to see how that works later!
Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner - Good liner, although need to do a few layers to get it dark
Loreal - Elnet Hairspray - I like the hold of this hairspray but not a fan of the smell
Maybelline Eye Studio cream liner - pretty good, need a better brush for it though
Sally Hanson Nail polish strips in houndstooth print - So excited about this! I've watched a heap of reviews on YouTube and I can't wait to try it out.
Face of Australia Nail polish remover - Super remover! Smells good too
Kiehls avocado eyecream - Never to young to start using eyecream, it starts of quite thick and you need to work it and warm it up before applying around your eyes before bed, best results when using your pinky
On Sunday was dinner at Mum's as usual, with a quick stop over to visit my bestie S.
Here is her dog, Oscar. He is super cute and very loving. I'm not a dog person but Oscar is not scary at all.
He knows me now and will always come around and sit by my feet or if I'm on her lounge, he will jump up and rest his head on my lap. Gorgeous Staffy!
and these are the flowers that D got me for our anniversary, they have almost all bloomed now and our apartment is smelling beautiful.
Hope you all had a fab weekend! xx

Saturday D and I went shopping at Parramatta. I needed a new pot for soups and Scanpan were 50% off and we got a Dutch Oven! (ha!) We had a little laugh about it in Myer, D is half Dutch and the other type of "Dutch Ovens" aren't pleasant. Here is my pot, which I cooked chicken and Vegie Soup last night. It's nice and deep. Scanpan is the best.

For some reason, I haven't been able to comment on your blog - so didn't rpely to your last comment. I am going to set up an account so I can comment easily.
ReplyDeleteI am getting married in Bali in 3 weeks! eeek! Then heading over to the Haven on Paradise Island in the Maldives.
I think I've got everything organised for the wedding... but love your tiffany chairs! Did you planner organise them? I'm thinking I want a change now!
What are you doing for centrepieces? I am currently tossing around tall ones or very simple small ones.... guests keep telling me the small ones are nicer because you can talk over them etc. And I thought since the reception was in the garden, I might get away with small ones?
And cake... who is doing your cake? Are you adding any purple in? My bf thinks if I add purple on the cake it will not look like something you want to eat! Am thinking just a thin purple ribbon/bow to match my invites.
Loving the polish website - how much was shipping? I want to try the long lasting one.... I hate chipped nail polish... and the time is takes to do my nails everyday!
3 WEEKS?! How exciting. Everything all finalised and ready to go? All the very best for your special day!
ReplyDeleteYes, The Tiffany Chairs. They were a must have for me. You can probably tell, that I'm a little obsessed with them. My planner arranged them through her set up and decoration people. They are 11USD each! but very worth it I think.
Centrepieces I am just having small, low ones with a mix of purple orchids in a square glass vase with a few tealight candles around them.
Tall ones look very good too, it just depends on your whole theme I suppose.
I don't know who is doing the cake but I am just having a 3 tier white iced cake with Choc mud inside and scattering purple orchids over it. Simple. You could do something similar? Purple ribbon sounds lovely too :)
Shipping for the polish was $20. Are you in Australia?
