Post 10 things which make you happy
Try and do at least one of them today


Stole this idea off Tennille. Supposedly this works on a tagged basis but with my whopping 2 followers, I don’t think I should hold my breath.


Terry - On the 21st of this month we have been together for four years. I don’t even know how that happened, but at the same time it feels like I’ve known him all my life. It’s hard to imagine my life before him and even harder to contemplate my life ever without him



Makeup - Of course. Makeup makes me happy for a few reasons now. Not only do I love doing it on myself & other people, I love the way it can transform a face & make someone feel so much better about themselves. I also love it because I loved learning about it with my girls who I miss so much-Makeup school was one of the best things I’ve ever done.



Sleep - There is nothing better than a well rested nights sleep or, even better, that long awaited Nanna nap after a long day of doing absolutely everything or absolutely nothing.



Shopping - Hands down the worst part about being unemployed or a student is the lack of money which constricts your ability to shop. I am easily addicted to shopping and going cold turkey hasn’t helped one bit. Everything from clothes and shoes to make up and skin care to home décor and books-I will buy everything and anything.



Cooking - I love cooking, especially love cooking for Terry because he’s always so amazed at the fact that I can cook & he can’t really do it that well ha ;) I love trying new recipes and learning how to make new types of food.



Kittens - words can express how much I love cats & in particular, kittens. I have wanted a kitten for so long but we can’t really take it right now-we have three dogs and a cat and another animal would just be farm overload.



Friends - I don’t see them half as much as I want lately because we’re all busy working or busy being poor. It’s also a bit hard because literally all of my close friends are in a relationship and there’s always someone who’s having a special night with their boyfriend or the thought of sitting on the couch and watching movies with their partner is more alluring than going out. However, they are my best friends for a reason and I couldn’t ask for better, more annoying friends!





Literature - I thank my Mum for always encouraging us to read as kids. She’s an avid reader herself so I suppose she wouldn’t have had it any other way. I love reading, I love starting a new book & I love re-reading an old favourite. There is no better relaxation that slipping into a book and getting lost in the pages



Music - The reason I love music is best summed up by that feeling of having a song stuck in your head all day long, then finally getting to listen to it when you get home. Bliss



Décor - I’m obsessed with home décor. Everything from trinkets to furniture to rugs to photo frames. The one thing I’m looking forward to the most when I move out finally is having a little house to myself that I can stock up with heaps of awesome stuff.

I have a job interview with Clinque on Monday.

Excited, scared, nervous, condident.

Don't tell me to close my eyes, she said, it's only 3.45AM after all.

Easily haven't done one of these in a a year or so but thought it would be fitting as I plan to use this blog a lot more often ^.^

1. Thing you cannot leave the house without
That's kind of hard to answer. I hate my phone, people are obsessed with mobile technology & seem to get annoyed at me each time I don't answer or reply in an instant so that rules out 'phone' being my answer. My purse has been useless for the last year just about because I've been poor as anything & usually find myself in the loathesome situation of people paying for everything for me. I guess I can't really leave my house without my car :)

2. Favourite brand of makeup
Hard question. Mixture between MAC, Gorgeous & Chanel purely for their foundation.

3. Favourite flower
Classic-Roses. How could I say any different?

4. Favourite clothing store
I don't have one! Most of my clothes are from cheap little stores run by Asians but they have what I like to wear!

5. Favourite perfume
Stella by Stella McCartney. Allure by Chanel. Pure Poison by Dior,

6. Heels or flats
Flats! I'm such a pussy when it comes to heels. I like them, but not on me & I can barely walk in them. I love wedges.

7. Do you make good grades
Not in high school but in Makeup School I kicked arse ;)

8. Favourite colours
Puple.

9. Do you drink energy drinks
Red Bull only.

10. Do you drink juice
Infrequently.

11. Do you like swimming
I actually do despite the fact I am scared of drowning. I can swim but it takes me a while to get used to being in the water & not in total control of myself. That being said, I haven't been in a pool (I refuse to swim in the ocean!) since 2007.

12. Do you eat fries with a fork
I can't say I do. Unless they're a side dish & I'm already using a fork.

13. Favourite moisturiser
Nivea (I don't even know the name of it) and Palmer's Coco Butter

14. Do you want to get married later on in life
I really, really do.

15. Do you get mad easily
Far too easily. I snap & crack it at the slightest thing. It's a horrible trait but at least I admit it.

16. Are you into ghost hunting
I'm an avid believer in 'ghosts' for lack of a better term, but in an energy sense, not your average afterlife understanding of it. I want to go on the Haunted Melbourne Ghost tour before it gets too cold! But I'm weary of doing anything that might 'provoke' them ha :x

17. Any phobias
Drowing. Spiders & Cockroaches. Car crashes. People I love dying. The Dark. Things getting me in my sleep.

18. Do you bite your nails
Yes, but I am trying very hard not to!

19. Do you drink coffee
I go through phases.

20. Have you ever had a near death experience
When I was a baby. I don't remember a thing.

Tomorrow I have the day to myself until the late afternoon/evening when everyone comes home. I'm going to try and keep busy so I don't get too lonely/bored/eat too much junk. Considering it's only going to be 22c, which is a nice change from the consecutive high 30's-40c days we've been having, I can't put off cleaning my room for the first time this year. I also want to go on the treadmill for at least half an hour at some point. Also want to play with make up cos I've got some eyeshadows I haven't even had the chance to touch since I got them, including some MAC pigment pots.





Also, I have a photoshoot on Friday which calls for 'dark, moody makeup' which really says nothing at all, but I have an idea in my head which I want to try and plan out for the first time instead of just winging it :>

I might have an interview this Thursday for a full time role based in a suburb that's a 15 minute drive from me. I'm literally frothing at the idea of a full time wage, it's been over 6 months since I've had an income that can be split into bills & money just for me.

Mac Mineralize range- ODD COUPLE.

When all is said & done & dead.
