INS & OUTS

IN:

great weather - its sunny but not hot with a cool breeze and its not as chilly as it used to be.. I sense spring (and my hubbys allergies) approaching!

clothes for $10 - its like guilt free shopping, its practically free!

ksubi jeans - my lee skinnys have a HUGE hole at the knee that keeps gettin bigger each time i wear them and i dont think i can pull that off.. so i guess its time to break out the ksubis ive been saving since my birthday..

crunchie chocolate - i thought cherry ripe was my fave but they make me feek sick after 1... i can eat way more crunchie without that same sick feeling

half falsies - worn on the outer corner is wow you have pretty lashes and not WOW UR WEARING FAKE LASHES

my natural curls - im thinkin i have curly hair for a reason so just accept it, and i have.. its only taken me 23 years haha

OUT:

mud puddles - my backyard is so uneven and doesnt get much sun so i'll step in a puddle of mud everytime i got outside... and when im wearing sandals thats not fun..

wisdom teeth - oh man they hurt and i dont like the dentist and how much they charge so im gritting my teeth (almost literally) and putting up with them..

whore bags - ugh its scary sometimes how some girls/ladies can look in the mirror, half naked with their bra showing and half an ass cheek hanging out with sky high heels and think "yeh i look good". i hope my baby girls dont grow up to think that looks good because it really doesnt. its so much sexier to leave a bit to the imagination and look like you have a bit of self respect.

on that note im off to eat dinner. xo

tiny tiny haul

dont you hate crappy mornings which then make you head to the mall and buy stuff?? well i had one of those myself and decided i deserve some new stuff. I went to temt (my fave store) and bought just a simple plain black singlet $9.95 and went to mink and found a white top for $13 from $20 (yay for bargains)

then went to diva (another fave!) and picked up some cute rings and a chunky charm bracelet which i have been wanting for ages!

disco ball ring $8.99

purple antique cocktail ring $12.98

purple jewel snake ring $12.99

chunky gold charm bracelet for $15


i love how chunky the charms are

ahhh.. gotta love a bit of retail therapy!

Ladies Night

My goodness, i cant remember the last time i went OUT with all these girls at the same time... ok i lie, the last time we were all out together was my friends 21st which was 2 years ago and that is way too long, but when were all together its still sweer and good like the good old days. We initally planned to have a dinner, dessert & bowling kinda night but it turned into a dinner, drinks, dessert, drinks & dancing kinda night which made me feel my age again, which is nice. Some of these girls ive known since high school, a few since primary & one since preschool. i love these ladies long time.

Mid-Year Resolution

ok so im not really one for New Years resolution but the middle of the year always gets me in a flurry with this feeling that the year is almost over and i have to achieve some kind of goal by the end of the year.. or maybe i just like kinda not really having to strive for something for half the year and decide to get off my bum in july... actually i kinda did have a new years resolution not to shop unnecessarily but that went out the window bout a month ago..



anyways so i was brushing my teeth the other day and i normally brushing my teeth with my kids so i cant like stare at myself in the mirror whilst im brushing to make sure i get everywhere and yada yada yada but this time i caught a glimpse of my teeth and was HORRIFIED almost disgusted.. ok so i am the social smoker who downs about 4 cups of tea or coffee a day so what did i expect? not YELLOW TEETH! hey i knew i didnt have pearly whites but i knew this was like beyond acceptable. so i dashed out and bought a serious tooth whitening paste which i have to use twice a day.. and so far for the 1 day that ive had the product i did.. it tastes like the dentist which should be a good thing right? i even rinsed with listerine and BLEW MY HEAD OFF! that stuff is so fresh i thought my teeth were going to fall out from the freshness.. my eyes actually started to water.



ok so this product says i will see results in 2 weeks so im really going to try hard to stick to it and see what happens..



i guess my midyear resolution is generally to take better care of myself.. this came about when i ate half a packet of tim tams and a whole bag of doritos and was wondering why my skin is so bad.. im seriously anemic meaning i have like no iron in my blood so im meant to take iron tablets every morning which i have been doing. im also trying to drink more water and ive swapped coffee and tea for hot chocolate and green tea. im being VERY social this weekend so im hoping i do not smoke, if i dont buy them i wont smoke simple as that. i really want to be more active. running mmmeeehhh... i guess i'll try to go back to dance classes, i guess since moving so far from the city and the hubby working nights so no one can watch the kids are 2 reasons i have stopped going religiously. fruit used to be my nemesis but i have decided to make peace with the apple and the banana and even the strawberry.



i guess i just hope that im showing my kids how important it is to take care of yourself, and how much better you feel and look when you do.

ins & outs

just felt like doing so i kinda have a feelin about how the week will go

IN:

Rubi shoes - cheap and make me look more grown up then my sneakers do

choc chip cookies - for breakfast, unhealthy as it is, its just so good!

tinted moisturiser - so easy, doesnt clog pores, evens out my skin tone without making me looking like im wearing make up

Kinky Muk curl amplifier - ive figured out exaclty how much ineed and when i should apply it for the best results

Temt black cargidan - makes me feel more like a fashionable mum

Pawpaw ointment - no chapped lips for me! i will not let winter take that away from me

OUT:

lace up sneakers - im lazy at heart and laces in the morning when were running late for preschool doesnt help

vacuuming - i hate it! and with 2 kids running around i'll vacuum in the morning and it will look like i havent vacuumed by night fall..

Winter - used to think i loved it but i so dont! i miss warmth and heat and the sun and my tan!

pushy people who ruin plans - this frustrates me beyond belief!

Less is WAY more

ok so now that my internet is back up to full speed after 3 weeks of like snail paced internet im back on youtube watching videos again and firmly believe that less is more.. the kind of videos i watch on youtube are reviews and haul videos (fashion and makeup) but recently ive been watching shoe collection videos just out of curiousity and OMG.. i feel like i have no shoes! i could probably talk about my shoes for 3-5 mins but these videos go for 10+ mins and they're edited down and chopped up. SURPRISINGLY i feel good about not owning that many shoes because i love each and every shoe i own and i wear them all. i'm just going to list them down to see if i really do have a big or small collections

* Nike retro sneakers
* Nike all white AirForce1s
* Converse white hi-tops
* Converse blue low
* Rubi shoes black
* Rubi shoes brown
* Rubi shoes purple
* Novo black ankle high heel boots
* Novo black platform sling backs
* brown knee high high heel boots
* flat black knee high leather boots
* cream ankle boots
* red tony bianco sling backs
* candy patent black sling backs
* 3 pairs of havaiana thongs
* RMK bronze high heels
* mary jane high heels
* patent black platform high heels

okay now that i think about it thats still a lot of shoes.. but i guess my defence is that i really do wear them all and i dont plan on buying anymore shoes in the near future.

Ageing gracefully..

I had one of those moments where you catch yourself in the mirror and cant believe what you see... considering i am only 23 but also considering how much "life" i have lived in 4 quick years... i feel like ive aged about 15 years in that amount of time.

Uneven & dull skin, my face doesnt look as tight and fresh as its used it.. my pores look like they're trying to send signals to beings in space.. my acne still hasnt completley gone away.. scars from my past life that are as stubborn as me and refuse to fade..

Ok so problems are identified so im guessing the next thing is to find a solution but i have no idea if i should be reaching for an anti aging cream, a pore refining lotion, a mosturiser for acne prone skin?!? and dont even get me started on a night cream!! hmmm... and all this on top of going over the millions of things i have to do today..

yay

DVS dinner + shopping

So last night I had dinner with 2 of my favourite girls (apart from my daughters). we go waaaayyy back like "i knew you when you were in your mums tummy" kind of way back and as always, its nice to catch up with these ladies.. we dont get to see each other as much as we used to but when were all together its still pretty much the way its always been, which is hard to find in friends. we're more like sisters. Suprisingly when we discussed what it would be like to live all together none of us could see that lasting very long. hehe..

Before dinner we kinda did some light shopping in a cheap store and each came away with something. Its nice to go shopping with girls who know what you like and what looks good on you. So we head off to dinner and order our steaks. We have serious convos, ridiculous reminiscing, misheard confussions, catching up on the goss, seeing where we're all at in our lives.. the usual girl talk. These girls make me laugh like no one else can. Dinner comes and turns out our craving for steak wasnt as big as we thought it was... we go for coffee to bring up more embarrassing stories from our life long friendship. I've been needing a night like this for a long time.

we take ONE photo all night which if you knew what we were like in our teens is a big deal. but really with our friendship its about quality not quantity.
