I haven't done one of these posts in ages - but I thought as this September is more than marginally special, I'd swing back into an old habit. September Socials: I didn't really realize it until creating this post but September was an extremely sociable month for me! I got to see my best mate in the world, Lucien.. A LOT. It's a wonder we aren't completely sick of each other by now.  I also made a new girl friend... Sandy.  She's such fun and it is blossoming into a lovely little friendship which I'm thrilled about as I don't have many girl friends left in my little town anymore.  I'm at this horribly awkward age where everyone either abandons this tiny town to go off and obtain a degree or otherwise sets foot on different land and gets the travel bug!  I'm not really sure why I've stuck around as long as I have... but I am pretty content right now doing my online degree in journalism, working my little tush off to save enough up to get to Ba...

How To Cover Anything Acne + Scars, Tattoos, Flawlessly!

Image
There is no worst timing than that of blemish or acne, hyperpigmentaion, rosacea, scars, and even the occasional tattoo you regret getting! Sometimes you end up feeling overwhelmed and frustrated believing that there's no way of concealing your skin even at its mildly best, let alone worst! Trust me I've been there, I couldn't even leave the house without some sort of makeup whether a BB cream or full on face. Its safe to say that my imperfect skin was my biggest insecurity. Throughout the years I began learning more about nutrition and how to properly cleanse and pamper your otherwise unmanageable skin, it was harder at first but once you take the first step to conquer this problem the rest will be easier to handle.  And as of now I am left with acne scars and hyperpigmentaion, mostly around my cheek bone area & temples. Once you change your lifestyle you will truly see a difference in your skin and your overall health! If you like to check out  How to get clear skin ...

Him....

I think the time has finally come to introduce you to the man that has been responsible for all of my happiness lately... Allow me to to introduce... Sam... my Robocop. The waves to my ocean,  the grapes to my wine.  He is the wasabi to my sushi, the tobasco to my bloody mary.  and the tennis biscuits to my tea. He is the snort to my laugh... The reason for this smile on my face.

Blissed Out.....

Image
I had the most amazing weekend with Sam. We spent the entire weekend together, completely and utterly blissed out. I started coming down with the flu on Thursday evening and by Friday I thought  that I was dying. Even so, I drove through to George and met Sam at the ten pin bowling alley where I whipped his ass! We also played pool and that's where he whipped mine. In between it all we couldn't keep our hands off of each other and in the end got told off by the owner for inappropriate behavior in front of kids! We felt like scolded school children and couldn't stop laughing. We had dinner that night at Cocomo's where we watched live music. He stood behind me, holding onto my waist and swaying along to the rhythm of the music. He even sang softly into my ear, "Cos I wanna love ya... and treat ya right. I wanna love ya.. every day and every night." Which is lyrics from a Bob Marley song called 'This is Love.' He actually sung it to me all weekend long an...

Always Follow Your Gut.... Here's Why:

This is a really important post for me to share with you all, so please give it a read when you get a chance.  It is so inspiring. My hope is that it will help many of you who are currently facing big decision making: Back in June, I had plans to move to a big city. Everything was all coming into fruition - I resigned from my job, started packing up my life; it was pretty much set in stone.  Then suddenly, I had this overwhelming feeling of anxiety and nervousness. It felt like something was off. So I couldn't do it.  It was one of the hardest decisions that I have ever had to make. That move would have altered my life permanently - and I had to give up some truly amazing things by not taking that plunge.  The day after I was supposed to have started my long road-trip up to the big city, I attended one of my dearest friends (Mister Van's,) birthday party. This was another thing I was actually contemplating not attending because a major storm hit the town that day wit...

I Dig You

Image
It�s the small things that count. A tiny romantic gesture goes a long way, especially if it is so heart-meltingly adorable. When I received an image of this: I don�t think I stopped saying, � Awwwwwwwwwwwww ,� or smiling like a goof-ball for over 24 hours � and yes, they are just jelly babies on a plate spelling out, � I Dig You ,� but to me, that is actually one of the sweetest and most amazing things anyone has ever done for me.  He opened a packet of jelly babies and instead of scoffing them all (which he probably did afterwards to be fair,) he thought of me, wrote me a note and snapped a photo to send to me. It made me feel so incredibly special and happy - blush. It is SO important to make someone feel special and do the littlest of things to let them know you care. What�s the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for you???
