Distance makes the heart grow fonder...

 ... Does it, does it really?

The BF has been away for 23 days, but who's counting? Um... me.

weheartit

I have been in communicato with him daily (aside from when he was flying), so I haven't been suffering too badly. But there is still 26 days to go. 26 days. I'm not even halfway.

Interestingly enough, he mentioned he walked past my 'favourite' shop... and sent me a photo. Sephora! Ooh La La.

He said he'd get me whatever I needed from there.

BIG mistake Mister. 

Next thing he knew, I was sending a list accompanied by photos, so there was no room for any errors! hahaha. Nah, I was pretty refrained  but I think I need to rethink the list. I felt under pressure and wanted to get some prods out there before he said 'okay, enough!'

Number one was the Urban Decay NAKED palette. I am a lover of nudes... So, I pretty much need this palette.

Then I also added the NARS Foreplay Blush set which has a couple of blushes.. Like a little taste tester. I have never had a Nars blush and the couple of times I've watched Orgasm I was a bit taken aback by the shimmer. But I kinda still want it... Y'know?

The set includes -Peach Matte Blush -Gold Highlighting Blush-Pink Matte Blush-Orgasm Blush (peachy pink with golden shimmer)

I also want/need/gotta have Benefit 'They're Real' Mascara... But then I was thinking, it's only $38 here- which is exxy but is it worth whatever the saving will be to have him cart if across the world for me? I just checked and it's $23 on the US store, so I don't know if I should get him to get that. It's not really worth it. Not to mention I have mascaras lining up waiting to be used... Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes, you're next!

I also added the Ciate Caviar nails... but again I'm thinking it's unnecessary. Especially considering I just noticed (like literally today) that the Aussie brand Hello Darling has those caviar fish egg polishes too... Only, they call them Rock Candy! The one I have my eye on is called "Le Petit Choupette" and it is inspired by Karl Lagerfeld's precious kitty Choupette... It has a mixture of Pink and Gold. LOVE!

And the real Choupette for added adorableness.

She's sooooo pampered! And Cute! And she looks worldly.

Any advice on what I should get from Sephora??

The BF's in Poland by the way... So I don't even know how good the savings are or anything. I'm soooo unworldly, unlike Choupette.

Giveaway 101: THE GOODIE BAG!

Hiya Guys!

Thanks for the support over my last post.

To say I’ve been through a trying time is an understatement. I have been really emotionally drained and truly thought my relationship was over. Thankfully, after the initial shock wore off, my BF ended up being really understanding. Things are still a little rocky, but I think we will be okay.  All I can hope is that we will end up with a stronger relationship at the end of this.

What was kind of ironic is that it was only recently that I was making a bit of a song and dance about him trusting me... And even made the lighthearted comment that something was a 'trust exercise'... I'm really lucky he has forgiven me and that we can move on. I do feel like a dodged a bit of a bullet. I want to try and make it up to him, but not as though I am compensating for something I did. Does that make sense? I just want him to know I appreciate him and that I'm sorry- even though after all the apologising I've been doing, I think he gets that. We have had little tiffs in the past, but nothing like this. This was like betrayal, serious hurt feelings, a real grown-up situation, something I've never experienced. I was also blind sighted and it just came up out of nowhere. Any advice on how to make it up to him?

Enough of that, and onto the fun stuff. My Giveaway!!!!

It’s funny, I feel like I have been collecting these treats for ages, but now when I actually group them all together it doesn’t seem like much. Eeep. Hope this isn’t the lamest giveaway in the history of giveaways!

Goodie Bag!

 A few little points about the goodies: I personally own a few of these items... Which is why I included them. The Schwarzkoph Volume Powder is really fun to use and a great dupe for the more expensive Keven Murphy Powder Puff and does give your hair a nice boost without making it feel heavy or causing any build-up. The Dove Nutri-oil is also great and I can feel it nourishes my hair and is lighter than the Moroccan Oil I usually use. The Revlon Lip Butter... Um, what needs to be said? And Peach Parfait is one of the most sought after colours. Oh and the little nail polish removers are AWESOME! I don't think I will ever use traditional nail polish remover again. Yes, really. I usually only need one pad to remove polish on all 10 fingers. The other day I had on OPI Rainbow Connection (glitter to the max) and I only needed one extra pad... Granted I had to work at it for awhile, but I feel as though the pads are more nourishing than traditional removers. They are quite oily, but I like it. Also, the smell is yum- well I haven't tried the Lemon scent but I have tried Mint and Apple and they very non-offensive and no yucky remover smell.

May the odds be ever in your favour!

♡ Week Six ♡ ~ Perseverance pays off!

Hey Lovelies,

I somehow managed to confuse myself for my last weigh-in post. I wrongly titled it week three and four, yet had the correct content, which said week four and five! Way to confuse myself!

I might just do a re-cap, mainly for my own benefit:

Le Ultimate Goal= lose 14.2 kilos

Initial weigh-in 16^th Jan: (start) 14.2kgs to go

Week One 23^rd Jan: (3kg) 11.2kgs to go

Week Two 30^th Jan: (1.1kgs) 10.1kgs to go

Week Three 6^th Feb: (1.1kgs) 9kgs to go

Week Four 13^th Feb:  (0.7kgs) 8.3 kgs to go

Week Five 20^th Feb: + 0.5kgs (arghhhh!) 8.8 kgs to go

Ahh, hoorah for cohesiveness!

So, yes, in the past 2 weeks, I have felt like I was going at a snails’ pace… and that is N.O fun!

Luckily this week caught me back up a bit, or I was going to have to change my tactics!!

So without further ado, I bring you my sixth week weigh in results…

2.1 kgs 

Leaving 6.7kilos to go. Eeek, still a way to go. Boo and then hiss!! I am feeling good though, thankfully.

I finally washed my hair yesterday and while it was quite easy being short and all, it was also like 32degrees and I saw little point in blow drying it, so I thought I'd tempt fate and let my hair dry on its' own (albeit with some product), well it wasn't all that crash hot, and I did in fact take my Vidal Sasson Big Hair styler to it, once the temp cooled down a little.

Fast forward to this morning and the lovely Melbourne Deluge that rained down upon us, I was literally like a drenched rat AND I totally ruined my favourite umbrella!!!! Damn you gale force winds *sad crying face + pouty face too*

Ruining my brolly means I have to go to back to one of my newest favouritiest shoppes in the Name of All That is Cute, Duchess! at either Melbourne Central  or Footscray, (mate). But what to do in regards to being rain proof, until then??! That. I do not know! Eeek. I could still use my brolly, I 'spose. It's not totally wrecked, just a little bent out of shape!

I had a little date night with the BF last night. We saw The Grey at the Glen. I didn't mind the movie, it had some scary moments- one of which I nearly left some 'Help! I'm Terrified' claw nail marks on my BF. Ooops! Was not a fan of the ending though.

Ciao for now!!
