o0o0o Is that delivery for me?....

Heya guys...

I am so glad Tuesday is over ! It always seems to drag on... once I get to Wednesday its all downhill from there... horray!

I think I gave my horrid flu thing to Mezzy! Damn it .... she did text me saying I was a diseased mongrel hahaha

Finally I received my MOR products from OZsale. I initially was going to palm them off as gifts, but I don't think I can part with them all. They smell to damn good!

 How good is getting a parcel delivered to work! Brightens my day everytime!
Pomegranate body wash, hand wash and hand cream

The same again except I think this is sorbet flavour.... or something along those lines. Smells awesome, even though my nose is a bit blockaged!



Lychee on the go perfume and lipgloss!


Lip Macaron that everyone keeps telling me is awesome. Unintentionally it matched my nail polish (china glaze something sweet).

What do you guys think about the brand MOR? I like it... except Pani always bags it! How can you bag it?! I mean its in cute packaging and smells awesome -- I don't think its supposed to be some miracle skin care brand.. it is what it is.

I have printed a few cocktail recipes for the weekend. Lychee martini's sound like the way to go! Then i found this really sickly sweet cocktail recipe (its in my handbag - too hard to dig out).. but the main ingredient was Malibu. That stuff causes headaches everytime! Talking about drinks that you know cause you trouble the next day hangover style... Smirnoff double blacks. OMG! When i jump onto those (usually later in the night) I'm in for some serious pain the next day!

Do you guys have any hangover cures? I feel like I don't want to sacrifice the drinks I like just because I can't handle a more than extreme headache.

I am NOT an alcoholic! Even though I'm noticing a trend in my posts haha

Maxin' and Relaxin'

Hey all,

Hope your having a good weekend! 

I must say I am pretty impressed with myself for making home made strawberry jam. This stuff tastes unbelievable! but talk about sugar high... this stuff is not for the weak! Perfect start to my Sunday! 



I finally think I have got this flu thing under control. I got into work on Thursday and realised I really shouldn't have been there and went straight to the doctor! Probably should of done this from the start but I hate seeing the doctor! ... Its not the doctor as such, its the waiting room that puts me off. No matter where you go there seems to be some weirdo causing trouble. Thursday I fluked getting an appointment just as I walked in as someone had cancelled, however there was a child there shrieking incessantly about " I want to see bla bla" ... okay buddy you wanna see you mate, but can you please calm the hell down! Thank goodness I only had a 10 minute wait!

Anyway the doctor sent me home and I managed to occupy my time with lots of napping and relaxing. I feel much better for it I must say. By Friday afternoon my fever had gone and I thought I would venture out in the evening to visit the parental's who were staying at Crown Metropol.

When I got to Metropol I rang Dad to tell him I was in the foyer only to realise I was in the wrong place --- Crown Promenade.... awkward! Then I totally got disorientated and did this massive circle to track down Metropol.... Seriously what the hell! I usually have a good sense of direction! (Mez, do you still want to attempt doing the amazing race with me after that ha ha) Anyway I have got to stay there! Perfect for a girls weekend with the day spa and the hot baths that overlooked the city! I was amazed by this... Maybe I need to get out more! Have you stayed there? What did you think?

We went to The Atlantic for dinner in Crown which was damn good. I am a massive seafood fan so I was happy to chow down on these delights!


Could not decide! ....


Oysters were certainly demolished by all! 



My main ... Prawns! You cannot go wrong. 


Dessert - Some strawberries and cream stack = deliciousness 

I am looking forward to next weekend already. I am sick of plodding around at home... there are only so many times one can paint nails! I have a work party on Friday night which will be enhanced with their decision to supply the masses with Moscato (HORRAY!) 

Pani is coming to stay with me Sat night and we plan to have a proper girls night out (touch wood the rain stays away but I'm not counting on it). I feel the need to create some delicious cocktails .... honestly the sweeter the better! Any ideas? (We do not have a sophisticated pallet ha ha)

Adore Beauty ..... I know I do!

Hey Prowlers,


I don't know about you but that earthquake freaked me out! My whole building moved! I've felt a little tremor before but nothing like this. ... and nothing even bad happened and I panicked. These are the times being on your own sucks. If your going to go out you don't want to be alone while doing it. 
I messaged JKats straight away as she lives close by, I needed to know I wasn't going completely delusional and that it did happen... but if she didn't.. the comments on facebook sure did.. phewww I'm not completely bonkers! 


I have had a terrible few days with this horrid flu! It ain't pretty let me tell you that much! I got to work today but felt awful this morning,... but perked up by the afternoon (or when the drugs kicked in haha). Hopefully I haven't passed it on this to anyone else! 


Enough of the complaining... I have more fun things to speak of! I am loving nail polishes at the moment, thanks to Mezzy and Instagram (follow me @KITTY1983)! I used to hate doing my nails but now I almost find it relaxing... is this odd? 


I have been wanting to try Butter London polish for so long, and could not track somewhere local that stocks it, so I turned to the web. I found this fantastic site called Adorebeauty.com.au ! Horray for me, not only did I find the polishes I wanted but they also stock the Butter London Lippy I keep rambling on about! I don't want to sound like an ad here but seriously you should check it out ... sites like this are perfect when we get lazy and just want our products delivered to our door! I noticed if you like their facebook page they are giving 20% discounts out for the next few days... which is kind of enticing me to buy more but we shall see! 



I actually ordered two packages, both came with two samples and a fun size cherry ripe! What girl doesn't love a cherry ripe! You will notice a cherry ripe is missing, I gave it to Rivers at work.... he is sooooo lazy and never works hard enough! ( if you are from the office you know this is quite untrue haha ) 


The Lippy's ($25 each) .... Teddy Girl (the lighter one) and Primrose Hill Picnic. I also got this awesome Essie polish called Pink Parka ($18.95) which I can't wait to try! 


Left to right : Diamond Geezer , Trout Pout ( both $19.95) and Queen Vic ($22)



The flash was killing my eyes hence the reason they are shut haha.... Teddy Girl Lippy. I actually really like this more than I thought I would. It would look awesome against more olive skin! 




My goodness I look horrid from my flu... however we shall press on, Lippy - Primrose Hill Picnic. 

The Lippy's are really sticky so if that's going to annoy you stay away! However I really like these colours.. I'll definitely be using these little babies! 

Also this may seem weird but I have never coloured my hair before (and I'm 29) ! I feel like I want to wait to grow my hair longer and then give it a crack hehe. I've seen the same hairdresser "T' for ages now, she does a great job with my boof. Trust me, my natural hair is crazy curly and Afro, people from my younger days only remember this about me! Since moving up here I have tried other hairdressers randomly but have really be disappointed and quite annoyed with a- how much they charge (I wouldn't care if the job was good!) and b - hairdressers not understanding my hair.  If anyone knows of a great hairdresser in the city (Melbourne) I would love to try them! I love seeing T (she is hilarious and a great shopper at that) but sometimes I need convenience after work before I go out etc...

I have also booked in at Miss Fox to get my eyebrows threaded seeing as Mezzy loves them so dearly. I'm sick of having my eyebrows demolished ... they used to be perfect now they are really weird looking! I hope they can fix them for me... I have to wait a few weeks until they recover from my last appointment. 


Anyway I'm off to paint my nails... "Trout Pout" style! See you on the weekend guys :)
