Olly Dog... ♥

My brother took this photo yesterday and I am in love with it so I thought I would share!

My brother ♥

My brother is a photographer, I think he is seriously talented! He also blogs and his photo's are generally skate board orientated, however I have picked out a few of my favourites to show here (they don't feature skate boards!)
If you want to have a look at his other stuff or you really like skate boarding, head to http://downwithhomework.tumblr.com







The golden retriever is my puppy dog, Olly! ♥

Happiness ♥

"Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself."

- Og Mandino

Smile & the whole world Smiles with You! ♥

Star Struck! ♥

We were a little bit blown away on Wednesday night, while we had a little girl's night out, we were lucky enough to spot Mark Wahlberg having dinner at a restaurant in Broadbeach! When he was leaving, we got to get a quick (very) happy snap!

Introducing... Bernie ♥

I am very excited to announce that my gold fish Bernie has now been alive for 9 days in my care! His companion Mac, died shortly after his entry into the bowl.. So Bernie is the sole survivor of my trainwreck mothering skills.

Proud to introduce... Bernie ♥


R.I.P Mac ♥ Our time shared together was short but sweet.




My friends* have bets on how long Bernie will last... I have faith in him. He's a survivor! We've come this far together. ♥

*Please note there are the friends who are in the process of making me a pet rock!!! :)

Lover Boy ♥

In other news, I've very proud/nervous/excited to share that I have a new boyfriend. Completely unexpected & definitely unplanned however I have met someone who I am just having lots of fun with. He has now officially become "my other half". Eeeekkkk! ♥

Where else would you rather be?

I am a very lucky duck to be able to live on the beautiful Gold Coast. It really is beautiful one day and stunning the next! On Saturday we had amazing sunny weather and I got to share it with some of my gorgeous girlfriends. We spent the day buzzing around in "Puggy" - the silver Peurgot convertible and lazing in the sunshine at the beach. Whilst I was a tad sun burnt, I still couldn't get over how good it felt to just relax in the sun. Life is good.

I'll tell you what's not Amazing!

1. Rates bills
2. Dead gold fish (RIP Harry & Ron - they didn't even stick around long enough for a blog post)
3. Tafe assessments!!!

But for every sucky thing, there are a million other things that aren't sucky! Like...

1. Mum's who come and paint you unit for you while you do your assessments (and blog and facebook)
2. Those amazing friends who could never be replaced and you can just "be" with.
3. Sushi, sushi, sushi! And the green tea to go with!
4. Organising fun play dates with girlfriends... And the wine to go with!
5. That special someone ♥
6. Great music to listen to...

I'm feeling very blessed this evening. I am one lucky, lucky gal... ♥

The Key to being Happy

And it's just so simple. It really is... ♥



What makes you happy? There are so many things that make me happy, I firmly believe in "seek and you shall find" - I'm always seeking... ♥

I shed a little tear...

...when I read the following.

It reminds me to be grateful for what you have and always be gracious to others, you never know what someone else is experiencing.

"Someone in this world is attending a funeral right now and weeping at the coffin. The lady in that to-die-for baby pink chiffon scarf who passed you in the street might have just been turned away from her last job interview for the third consecutive day. The well-dressed, smart-looking man dressed in a suit carrying his briefcase to work could be battling cancer. That rich-looking lady in the limousine that you’re really envious of, who just drove past, might be really upset because she just heard the news that her husband’s passed away in a car crash. Or maybe that grungy teen on the corner of the street is just this close to having a break down because she thinks she might be pregnant and her boyfriend is nowhere to be found. And how about that middle-aged lady who looked so kind, maybe she’s actually got no money on her to buy her dog some food and pay the hospital bills for her sick daughter? So smile at a stranger, tell a girl she’s beautiful, don’t be mean because you never know if you might just provide them with their final reason to promptly expire later that night at home.”

If someone doesn't have a smile, give them one of yours... ♥

Knight & Day

Tonight I took a trip to the pictures to see Knight & Day (Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise). Cameron Diaz is just so amazingly beautiful. She is so sweet and plays those ditzy/kick ass chicks so well. Movie was... Mehhh? I could of waited for the DVD. The company was a whole lot better though... ♥

I want candy!!!

I have decided to spend this Saturday night home alone in my new apartment. I'm propped up in front of the tv studying (really facebooking) and I am having serious cravings for candy! So this post is wholey and soley dedicated to sweets... Mmm. It's too cold for me to get myself outside to the shops (lazy I know) and I can't keep anything in my cupboards because it will all be devoured, quickly. So for now I will just keep salivating.

Upon reflection, I have made a few observations... #1 - It is sad how many photo's of sweet things I have on my laptop #2 - I now want cupcakes as well and #3 - By not having anything sweet saves me dollars and the weight!
Still doesn't make me not want the Candy! Haha... ♥

My new favourite song... ♥

So I have a varied taste in music and when I say I like a bit of everything, I mean it! I like rap, country, classical, love electro house... I like everything! I heard this song today and it is now my favourite! Have a listen.



I also make random c.d's that have a whole variety of genres on them. For example, the c.d in my car at the moment features "A Girl like You" by Edwyn Collins (old school), some house, T Pain, Angus & Julia Stone, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LMFAO and Snow Patrol. Time to make a new one though that has the song above on it! ♥

I feel guilty.

I feel super guilty already for not writing last night. I had a big day at work/tafe and then had lots to do when I came home! My amazing mum had painted my room (first coat) and it's looking better by the second! My walls that once were yellow are becoming white! I can't wait until my whole unit is white and looking fresh and comfortable as opposed to yukky and yellow! I just need to be patient. I'll post pictures soon.
I will also post some other things later on today or possibly tomorrow. I have lots to share!
Have a great day! ♥

What a day!

Lots of exciting things happened today.
1. I had another day off work, because I'm sick... However am feeling a lot better - so that's a plus!
2. My goodies arrived from Marley Rose... I got the red bracelet (see below) and it's just as beautiful as it is in the pic!
3. I got my eyebrows fixed up by Byron Butcher - www.byronbutcher.com.au - a very good friend/very good make up artist - thank you!!
annnnd
4. I played my first ever game of touch footy! Our team is called the Spartans and for most of us tonight it was our first game ever. There was no winner however we did really well! I've committed to getting fit so in addition to netball and the gym, I'm now a touch footballer! Looking forward to next week...

And just a special thought for this evening... ♥

My oh my!

I am extremely excited as I have just won a gorgeous bracelet from the Marley Rose Jewellery Boutique. Check out their website www.marleyrose.com.au. The site features some amazing pieces - lots of which have been spotted on celebrities! Wow! I can't wait for my little surprise in the mail (I don't know which colour I'm getting yet - that's why it's a surprise!!!)... ♥

The First Post

I am so excited about my new blog! I follow so many blogs and have so many things that I want to share with others and think its about time I had my own place to share - I think everyone's had enough of me on facebook! You'll have to bare with me while I learn how to make this pretty and awesome! Stay tuned... ♥
