Solo shopping has its upside!

Hi Guys, 

I was supposed to go to Geelong tonight but instead I headed straight into the city after work! Which was silly, I told a friend I was busy,thinking I'd be going to Geelong and that next Friday I'll catch up with her. Instead whats happened is I ended up getting freed up this Friday and next week I'm going to a work thingy so shops afterwards mightn't be the smartest idea! I hate going back on agreeing to plans, no matter how honest you are, it always sounds like bull to the other party. 

Anywho, I don't know about you but I really enjoy going to the shops on my own sometimes! I do enjoy going with friends, but going solo means I can do everything I want! (...and yes its me just being selfish haha). So today I went to Myer to pick up the layby I yabbered on about last post. I decided to keep the crop jacket... and returned the dress. When I got home, I put on the crop jacket on, and far out, my chest is huge! I really hope my running assists in reducing them, they are getting in the way of fashion! haha But I am keeping it as I love it so!! 

David Lawrence Crop Jacket $229 

There were actually quite a few people in Myer for a Friday night - I think the sales draw a few more extra faces! There seemed to be some great sale items on the second floor - I really wanted to go back and go through a few racks, but I knew that could be a spending disastor so I kept on walking - straight to the Benefit Brow Bar. 

Earlier today I thought enough is enough - time to attack my bushy eyebrows! haha ... And I questioned Mez about visiting the benefit brow bar in Myer - her response was tried it, they were good - so thought I'd give it a go. I'm at the point now where I am willing to try anything! If you follow Mez's blog you will know she is a big fan of Miss Fox... and I too did visit the girls at brow theory. Although I liked the results, getting an appointment at a time that suits was just getting ridiculous. I found this really annoying, especially since my brows grow at stupid times I'm never quite sure how long to leave it. And honestly, the whole threading thing, PAINFUL! I tell you what, hats off to you girls that get their mo threaded! So after a few times getting that done, I went back to the girl that used to do them for me at my local beauty salon. I would always rely on her as she would give a standard non special job, just neat and tidy. But the last time was awful, NEVER AGAIN! She totally thinned them out, and made the middle really uneven. I literally have left my eyebrows for a whole month to recover and they were quite the mess! Which brings me to my adventure to the benefit brow bar! 

The brow bar is located in the far left corner on the ground level of Myer and it is a busy little mecca. I never realised it was there before! Anyway I randomly asked if I could get my eyebrows done, and I was popped onto a list, and within 5mins of waiting my name was up! Horray! I didn't get the girls name, but she was fantastic! I liked the fact that you sit in a chair that doesn't make you lie flat - usually when this happen I have my eyes closed, and the therapist decided to get a hard core light right on my eyes. Although my eyes are closed I find this really uncomfortable and causes me to cry. Maybe I'm just sensitive! Anyway results speak for themselves so here is the outcome....Just bare in mind that one of my eyebrows is more 'how you doin' than the other - and always has been! 


... and this is my el natural curly hair. What do you think? Honestly I dunno, I think people think it looks crap but pretend they like curls. What do you honestly think? Don't worry I won't be offended by your truth! 


I know practically the same picture, just different light... 


See how the right eyebrow has a much higher arch... Hence why I call it the how you doin' eyebrow haha (yeah again lame). I actually really like them! What do you guys think!?!

The lovely brow expert then gave me the appropriate coloured brow powder and wax. I was ultra happy with this as I'd be meaning to do this for a long time! I am so in love with benefit products, especially for the fact they include instructions for novices like me, and they are all so damn cute!!! 







This little brow shaping kit cost $55... What is great about the benefit counter is the girls often do one side of your face, and you have to try and do it yourself to the other. Its good when your really not sure what your doing. 

The brow wax and shape cost $27. They also do all different types of eye things like tinting, and lashes application. Horray! I defiantly will go back to the brow bar! I hope that my follow up experience will be just as good!

Sorry for the complaining over the past few posts about my lack of love life. I actually think maybe the problem is that I'm not 100% happy within myself. I'm going to try and work on some things before I worry about any guys. Don't get me wrong, I am not depresso or anything! I just think maybe I'm quick to point fingers at external factors when really I should be looking within! Yes rather lame but its true! 

I'm off to Geelong tomorrow, and yipeeee I'm getting my hair done!!! Will keep y'all posted! Happy Friday :)

The Winter Freeze

Hi Guys,


How cold has it been? I went to visit some friends last night who live in Sunbury .. If your not from Melbourne its about an hour and a bit from the CBD. I think I am so used to city driving it felt weird being on a highway driving 100kms ... on the way home it was pitch black and I freaked out as a car looked like it was coming directly for me. The road was kind of bending and it was deceiving... that said I still swerved like a drunken person even though I was not drunk at all! I blame frostbite to my head... I took a picture of my car temperature gauge... actually thats really hard to read but it says 2am ... 1 degree! BRRR!


Although the weather was cold, the company was not! My Sunbury buddies are so funny, they make simple things hilarious. They have a son who is nearly 3, and came to greet me thinking he would be seeing a real cat. No no, just me buddy! Apparently he has a blue cat.... well thats what he told me, I'm not exactly sure where this blue cat is but ehh whatever hehe .. very cute! 

When I finally got home to sleep I shivered most of the night... I seriously have never been so cold! I feel like I have a hangover just from the terrible lack of sleep. I feel I should invest in some sort of small portable heater, although I love my apartment, heating was not on the landlords agenda when leasing this little baby out! 


So during the week I finally ventured into the city to visit Miss Fox for my eyebrow threading appointment. With Mezzy as my escort I still nearly opened the doors to the wrong place.... but I made it! and to my delight Miss Fox was as cute as can be! I really forget the name of the girl who did my eyebrows but she was lovely, and told me all the things I wanted to hear like .. I think they need to grow out a bit and maybe the shape should be this way bla bla bla. Anyway so off she went and truth be told , it is rather painful... but I am reasonably happy with the results. I think I just don't like how they aren't thicker on the ends how they used to be so I am glad she mentioned to grow them out. Here is the verdict.... 


As you can see I'm no photographer but you get the idea.... 

I have found the skin has been rather tender after the threading and I may have had a slight reaction to the aloe used afterwards. My skin is like old person, it doesn't like change! 
Have you tried threading? How do you shape your eyebrows? 

Afterwards Mez and I had dinner at the pancake parlour! Seriously their deluxe fries are the bomb, its heart attack material but o'so good! 

I had to laugh during the week... I don't know if any of you follow the footy but I like to know whats going on so I watch my fair share of shows like before the game, the footy show etc... however one person I cannot stand is Hutchie. I found this photo of him online, and I thought it was rather funny... I am not sure what he is doing... off to get few croissants (you wouldn't believe how many spelling attempts I made before I got that right - I am the worst at spelling) before the match Parisian style, I don't know haha His right eye looks rather odd.. I only just noticed this... hrmmm



Mezzy gave me this lipstick holder at work on Friday... and funnily enough I can make good use of it! 


I have also fallen in love with my Kit Shine on Polish. Love love love! If you have OPI do you lilac it, you surely would love this too. 


I have been asked by a few for the strawberry jam recipe I previously posted ... I shall try to put it up soon. Unfortunately I did follow a recipe but kind of adapted the amounts for uno... cooking as a solo can often make things rather difficult! 

Meanwhile I have really got on board with the whole get my hair dyed thing... I am trying to get some ideas as I want to easy myself into it but also have a somewhat half dramatic change. Maybe I am jumping the gun again... last time I wanted change I cut my hair too short and regretted it! If you have any good ideas please post pictures or tag them on insta for me ... i'm @kitty1983

Have a fab sat night ... and keep warm :)
