Really loving this at the moment..

This is my... 'I'm loving' song at the moment. I thought I'd share with you beautiful people too xox

Australia Day!

Since we are celebrating Australia Day ( my favourite day of the year) I thought I'd share some of my favourite things about Australia. We are pretty lucky to have such a beautiful country.

 My number one would have to be without a doubt..... Our beaches! They are beautiful and I have spent many days lazing on them. The beach is my favourite place in the world. 

Number two would have to be the fact that 99.9 percent (clearly not a fact as I personally haven't done surveys & can't stuffed looking it up to see if it has been done) of Australians would not know their own Anthem.... I am one of them. I know the first bit but seriously... do we need any more of it anyway?!  

My Favourite version of our Anthem is this.....

Number three would be the animals. I adore Koala's and I have a soft spot for the Wombat!

I mean seriously, how cute are these little guys!? 

But anyway... this list is endless with things I love here. Here's what I did today.... 

Beach Time! 

Cricket Time! 

BBQ Time! 

Family Time!

And sadly.....

Sunburnt. AGAIN! You'd think after 27 years in the Australian sun my skin would be able to tolerate it a little.. nope. This is with 3 applications of sunscreen too. 

Okay so I hope you all had a great day celebrating Australia and hopefully listening to the one and only... Triple J's Hottest 100. It's not Australia Day without it! 

Goodnight all xoxox

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie... Oi, Oi, Oi! 

This one's for you babe.

I have sat by and watched it all fall apart... and gosh did it fall apart. Nothing slow about it, just smack, there's a million pieces. You could've have left it all... thrown it all away but you stopped and started picking the pieces up.. one by one you've picked up the tiny shards and have begun gluing them all back together.

It hasn't been easy. Every single day has been a struggle but you are doing it. You are not alone. You have many around you holding the pieces while the glue dries.
We'll help you. I know there's still bits breaking... big bits, but it's going to be okay. I know in my heart just as much as you do that it really will be okay.

My prayers are with you and your family tonight and always.


You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world has thrown your way..........

It's days like these where I want to pick something up and throw it at a hairdresser!

Okay so I finally bit the bullet and went and had my haircut... not just a tinsy itsy bitsy trim... an actual haircut. Now my hair has been pretty long for a couple of years now & I've gradually gone from waist length hair to mid length to bammm bitches we now have an ugly crop do.

I did my research & even went on a site that you can add wigs to your own picture and found the perfect shorter hairstyle to suit me. It was past my shoulders, straight, slight concave through the front... pretty sexy look actually and I went in all confident that I will for once come out with the hair I want.

The hairdresser asked me what I was after & we went through these details before she began cutting. I specifically said nothing above my shoulders & she asked if I wanted any layers put through.. ahh no lady... I don't want anything chunky.. something nice and sleek.

End result... An above the shoulder hacked at do that I can't do anything with and as my son describes it... HIDEOUS!


                                              I have gone from this....

                                          To this in the space of days......

I left thanking her with a smile on my face only to walk out the doors and nearly cry. I am still trying to hold it together now. Why couldn't I just say... Ah you stupid cow you ruined my hair?? Why couldn't I throw a tanty then and there and really show how I felt?? I always do it... I leave unhappy and cry for days about it to everyone else instead.

What makes me so mad is the fact that I was going to cut it myself... the length I wanted myself! I was told I'd regret it and to go to a hairdresser and now I'm kicking myself... If I'd screwed it up I'd only have myself to blame... now I want to scream at this lady and I really hate that. She can't help that she's a silly twat. It's not her fault she can't listen... or is it? I should have spoken up then and there.

I have always wanted to be a hairdresser. I would actually listen to the client and give them the style they want... If at any time I was unsure of what they wanted I would stop and clarify instead of screwing it up completely.

Oh well. There's nothing I can do about it now. I am stuck with short hair for quite a long time. I'm just hoping it'll grow fast.. it usually does.
