2016 : Week 8 - Birthday Vacay!

My sister turned 23 this weekend and to celebrate we headed up the coast to Forster to celebrate with family, pools, the beach and a corner spa in our hotel room... Yaaassssss! Mostly excited for the spa, lesbihonest.

Anyway, this week has been fairly uneventful and I had such high hopes that I was finally going to get my shit together for uni to begin, but alas, I have not. I have, however, started a job delivering pizza until I get another, better paid, job! 

My first day was one of the hottest days Sydney has seen this summer getting to 40 degrees (celcius, guys!) in my area.. In a pizza shop, with a pizza oven and not a lot of room, sigh. It was alright, being able to deliver pizza meant that I spent about half of my shift in my air conditioned car. I did have to make a delivery to a house with a very dark overgrown driveway that had a car parked at the end of it so I couldn't drive right down to the gate which was a little freaky.. And when the occupants of the house yelled to see who it was it nearly scared the shit out of me! Literally.

Now, onto the meagre four pictures I have for the week!


So, my aunt wasn't home and we went there for a swim and sent her this photo of my mum and sister in the pool to make her jealous that she was at work. Also, my aunt didn't know we were coming up so it was a little surprise for her!


Don't mind me. This is my sister and I after the beach, me feeling a little frail and sunburnt and my sister lapping up the corner spa in the room. Literally in the room, there was a seperate bathroom with a shower, toilet and basin but the spa was outside.. Hot! haha.


This was me, riding a whale.. Enough said, well, I broke the whale after this. Not on purpose but pool noodles begin to rot when they're left in water for too long and this one had seen better days. Trust me!


And lastly, some post cheer training ankle ice happening up in here. If you have followed me for a while you know that I broke my ankle last January and that it hasn't healed properly. Hence it being painful enough after training for me to consider sticking my foot in a bucket of ice. If it hasn't healed properly by the end of the year chances are I will be getting surgery - I just can't get surgery now without having to commit to at least 6 weeks off my ankle and then rehab after, especially when I am about to finish uni and want to cheer this year.

Sigh.

Anyway, I hope the week was good to you, the year is getting faster and faster these days. I nearly forgot about this post until tonight when I realised it was Friday. 

Whoops!

Anyway, have a great week!

2016 : Week 7 - Work It Out!

This week we had my mums aunt down staying with us so we became tourists in our own city for the week. I also went back to cheer training after the summer off and have done more exercise this week than I had for the entire summer (may or may not be an exaggeration!).

Here are some photos for the week!


Believe me when I say that many a purchases were made this week.. My February haul is going to be epic!


I saw this cutie pie again.. Can I also just add, my cheekbones are on point!


Some Lavender Bay action!


Only the best gelato in Sydney!



Luna Park!


A day in Sydney is not complete without Pancakes! I mean, come on! So delicious!


Some more Lavender Bay Action!


This year was also my mums first without my dad. Long story, he's not dead or anything! So we made sure that it was still a special day for her!



And some beauty related photos. My hair is a curly mess, I had to cut a hair tie out of it this week, something I haven't had to do in a long while and my sister and I did some face masks!

Anyway, I hope your week has been as fun and eventful as mine. I am going away for the weekend so hopefully next weeks post will be much more exciting!

2016 : Week 6 - Gaining Momentum!

This week has been a super busy, interesting and chaotic week. First things first, I got a new car.. Well, not a new car but a car that is not my previous one. The car I did have needed to many repairs that it ended up being more economical for me to purchase another one - I got a super good deal and the car I did get has very low kilometres and is mechanically fault free, that the mechanic knows of so far.. Touch wood nothing else happens between now and April when it is due for registration.

This week we also had my Mums aunt come to visit and we went over to Terrigal on the ferry from Palm Beach to catch up with other family. It was a super long and hot day, we survived it though.

This week has been super chaotic and busy due to lots of little appointments that needed to happen and as the beginning of semester looms nearer the year seems to be going faster, I cannot believe it is nearly the middle of February already! Anyway, I will leave you with my pictures from the week!


This is Lola, I rescued (purchased) her from Kmart! She now resides in my bed and thoroughly enjoys it!


Excuse the gross face and all but the Swisse Manuka Honey and Charcoal face mask is to die for, go and try it for yourself!


Just a super grainy OOTD picture. Singlet is from Cotton On and the skirt is from Kmart. 


The new motor vehicle. I had to grab a screenshot of a photo of it from the sale ad to post, hence the black framing, sorry!


Palm Beach panorama shot. Its hard to do this with waves as you may be able to tell by the warped waves towards the right of the centre of the image, I tried.. Its still a beautiful photo!


A shot from lunch. At one of the most overprices cafes I have been to, the food was also super fancy which I don't do. I would have preferred a pub feed, not kale and pumpkin salads and cold pressed juice.




And finally some shots from Terrigal to round up the week for you! I hope you have all had an interesting week!

2016 : Week 5 - Friends

This week I managed to visit some friends from cheerleading for a nice day out followed by dinner, it was the first time I have really caught up with friends this break, mostly due to the fact that I don't have that many friends and a lot of them were holidaying overseas.. Plus, the money factor always comes into play, its hard to go out with friends when you have very little money and usually whatever money I do have left after paying all my bills goes towards buying clothes and/or shoes.. Naughty!

I am also beginning to get a little more organised for the semester that is due to begin in approximately four weeks, now four weeks sounds like a long time but I know it will creep up on me like nothing else. Plus next week I have multiple appointments and stuff that I need to keep on top of so I figure I might as well begin to get organised so I don't forget those.

Ahh the joys!

Anyway, here are some pictures from the week that was!


So, I have fallen in love with waffles again! Yum!


My cheer girls! 


I mean, come on look at the place we were at! Its on an island in the middle of Sydney harbour, so good!



I have named this bird Polly, for obvious reasons! She always hangs out on our balcony but this particular day she flew onto the chair right next to the window and stayed there. She didn't seem startled at all that I had my face up against the window, I guess she just wanted a cracker or something!


I did a little bit of this as well.. My mum and sister had gone out for a few hours and I got a little bored so just hung out in my bed waiting for them to get back.. Sad!


Lastly, my sister and I returned to the mothership for some cheap buys! Kmart is like crack to us and I can never get quite enough of it!

Anyway, there are some photos for the week. I already know I have some super exciting ones for next week since I am posting this late. I have already started on my photos for next weeks post and I am super excited to share some of them with you so keep an eye out for that next week.

I hope you have all had a wonderful week!
