So my dear sister is due to have her third child in early March. As soon as she told me all I wanted to do was throw her a baby shower. I was so excited. My main plan after hunting on pinterest for hours was to make her a nappy cake. The baby shower is fast approaching and the other day I thought it was best to act on that creative urge. Read more

‘tis the season to be silly, and silly we are. It was over Christmas lunch I decided that it would be funny and entertaining to spend one day of my holidays having my makeup done by Sam. Today was the day! After hitting the gym and showering I prepared all my makeup and sat down, fresh faced. I went through what the things were and then let him have at it. Read more

Every family is different and has their own traditions when it comes to Christmas. Australia, unlike most of the westernised world has their Christmas in summer. This means more beach and less snow. I will be listing twelve different Christmas traditions that I have grown up with as well as a few people I know. Some of these are specific for being from South Australia as well. Day 1 Attending the Credit union Christmas Pageant: We got up early and waited on the sidelines for all the floats to go past. Read more

I like to think that I am quite the avid reader. Growing up I would practically lock myself in my room and read until I fell asleep. If I wasn’t reading I was at the library finding more books to read. My favourite genre has always been fantasy and I have found many authors who obviously love the genre too. One such author is Richelle Mead. In her writing career so far she has written over 25 novels with multiple series in young adult and adult fiction. Read more

Every Christmas I like to do something crafty. As a kid I used to make little gift boxes using the previous years Christmas cards. As an adult I normally make my niece and nephew costumes, this year however with our lovely new house I decided to make some decorations. The big thing this year is the bauble Christmas wreath. I saw it pop up on my Facebook and thought to myself that yes! Read more

Since I moved in with Sam we have slowly turned this house of ours into a home but this weekend things sped up considerably. We already had a couch and kinda knew what we were going to do with the space once our house mates found their own home but thought it might take a little while till they found something… well they moved out this weekend. Down the road actually into this beautiful house with a wonderful backyard and we couldn’t be more excited for them. Read more

So I just got a lovely little package in the mail of a few new makeup products from e.l.f. I quite like using their products because 1: I don’t wear makeup often and 2: The price is right. So what came in the mail? I received the lovely Beauty Book which has six eyeshadow colours, an eyelid primer, applicator, and eyeliner pencil; The Makeup Mist & set which I’ve read is comparable to the Mac version; and an all over cover stick in ivory as I’m crazy pale.

Feeling the Love Alright everyone, this might get a bit soppy but bare with me. One year ago I met a man through the wonderful world of Tinder. For people who don’t know what Tinder is it is a dating app that normally just leads to awkward dates and booty calls. However in my case (and a few other friends that I know) Tinder actually worked out to be this wonderful creation that brought two people together. Read more

So we finally got around to making our very own fabulous kimonos. Now it was a joint effort where Sam helped make his own and I did mine first so really his is better than mine. We used some of our own intuition and this website to help with the shape and how to sew it together. Measurements There aren’t that many measurements you will need. Firstly you will need the length from the top of your shoulder to where you want the kimono to stop (usually around the ankle) and double that length. Read more

So my partner and I have just recently moved in together. We are both very excited as I have spent the last almost two years living with 3-4 other guys I went to high school with. So below I thought I would put together a few tips that I think are important for before you move in with your loved one, as going from spending heaps of time together to actually living with someone can sometimes be a bit of a shock to the system.
