I'm checking in....

Hi guys! 

Far out the last few weeks have been crazy busy. As you have realised, I've been laying pretty low on all forms of social media. 

My exam is literally in a week, so basically my life is work, travel, eat, study. I'm living the good life I tell you! 

My birthday is next Thursday (exam on Friday--- WAHHHH). And then celebrations can start. YIPEEE!!! Can you believe.. the big 3-0! 

Anywho, I cant really yabber on as I look at the books and feel guilty even checking in on here haha... hope y'all are all doing great!!! :)

Kitty goes Metropol

Happy Easter Everyone! 

I'm in a little bit of a daze...  so this post is going to be pretty picture heavy. But hey, I figure you'd appreciate the less reading as the long weekend winds up. 

Pani and I went to Crown Metropol last night. This was our room....


Queen beds... with pillow overload yay! 


Bathroom, which has sliding doors for privacy. 


The view... yep, not that impressive. The boring side of the city. Nevertheless, still pretty with all the lights happening at night. 


After the thrill of getting to our room, we wandered down to crown for a bite to eat, and again, we received a bottle of champas and chocolates. I'm starting to think people really do think we are a couple haha! 

We lazed around, and started to get ready for a night out. I really lathered myself up in bronzer and tanning product, I literally was glowing! I found this rather amusing as this is usually Pani's terrain. 


Unashamble selfie! Look theres no denying I love this dress! (Care of Witchery sales rack - how this got to be a sale item I don't know!) How many wears can I get out of something before its too much!?


Pani's going to kill me, but had to post this. YEP I think someone was enjoying the vodka hehe


Poserssssss!
I used my benefit smokin' eyes kit. Look for a novice like me, its pretty awesome. Click here to check it out!

Okay so the night in short.....
We started off wandering through Crown all dressed up, ready to find where the action is happening! So we go to Merrywell, NOBODY there! Hrmm, well this isn't a good sign. So we walk through the gaming area where we literally felt everyones eyes turn to us. We must have been way overdressed and out of place haha.. so we thought, Flinders Lane, something will be happening there surely! Turns out, there wasn't! 
Cut a lot of rambling short, we ended up back in Crown, paying $30 to get into the dodgiest clubs going around! It ended up just being flat out hilarious. We got on the dance floor at one of the clubs and we were flocked with randoms, which made me feel so uncomfortable. Then this random guy grabbed me by the hand and dragged me to the middle of the dance floor. The music was rnb and believe me he was ready to do a bit of bumpin and grindin hahah He kept saying, your shy your shy, well yes I am, so STOP trying to grab at me! This is not the way to lure your meat in I tells ya haha.. Thank goodness Pani was there to rush on in and save me. Her saving skills are awesome haha 

After our little boogie, we wandered back down to the gaming area, and a bunch of guys asked us to help them get into the clubs upstairs. I really felt for them, I mean nobody was up in those clubs, and they rejected them. I found that so wrong. But hey, when a girls feet hurt, every unnecessary step is a struggle so we left them. I hope they got up there! 

I'd love to stay at Metrolpol again, probably at a time that isn't school holidays where kids are all let loose at the pool area. We wandered up to the pool to find there was no room as the kids had taken it all up haha. Not that it phased us, we had some drinking to do!

Living the good life

Howdy everyone! 

I have been busting to write to you all about the great weekend Pani I had maxin' and relaxin'!

It was Pani's birthday weekend, and she decided that a day of pampering was in order. And really who am I to argue! 

First stop, the Crown day spa. Can I say, it was fantastic. We felt like we were living the high life, rolling on into the vallet, wandering through the corridors of the impressive Crown Towers to level 3 up to the General Reception of the day spa. We were greeted by our therapist who walked us to a more intimate reception area. From there, we were walked to a beautiful general lounge area where we laid back on the day lounges and giggled as we filled in our massage forms thinking how impressed we were already. As much as I wanted to happy snap as I was there, I didn't want to be a creep so I tucked my phone away. Click here to view the gallery on the Crown Spa website. 

As for the massage, it was just OK (that said, I've only had one other massage in my life so not much to compare it to). I should of said I wanted it a bit harder, so if anything probably my fault. After the massage, we were then taken to a general locker room, which lead to the spa, sauna and pool area. I loved how it all was almost hidden, and you had to wander through random doors and walkways to get to where you needed to go. 

I forgot how much I loved being in the water. I haven't been swimming in so long, I really wish I made more time for it during summer! We also did a bit of celebrity spotting, sharing the pool with Nathan Buckley and his family.

After a relaxing afternoon, we decided it was time for our next stop being the Sofitel on Collins Street. We had a beautiful view from our room... I posted this on Insta, I love a good view, after I got over the height factor when I was close up to the window! 



Pani and I were totally impressed, as after we came back from a walk around collins street, we came back to a bottle of bubbly curtosey of the hotel. Now that is customer service! I think they thought we were a couple hahaha 



Although at that point I realised I left my watch at the day spa which was a bit of a downer. I love that watch. But I guess it gives me an excuse to find a new one! The last edition of vogue had some beautiful watches ... If only I had a pit of money! 



Sunday we had a yum breaky at this little delight at the GPO building, and wandered around the shops. I got my shellac redone, as I have been studying I thought it would be best to run with shellac so I don't distract myself with doing my nails constantly. Sorry a bit blurry, but you get the idea! 


 I also found a replacement watch, which is on my hit list on payday! Love mimco! 


Mimco Sportivo watch - $249

I also finally got this Nars blush from strawberrynet which I'm rapt about! The colour is so bright which I adore. Although, I'm not exactly sure how it will look on... so I will keep you posted on that one! 


Nars Desire Blush

Well thats about it for now... although we did have a work function last Friday night which resulted in me drinking to much and giggling like a mental case. I remember telling a group of people a repulsive story I had heard from someone, and now I can't shake their looks of horror they were giving me! haha ...I took this photo the next day... the bottle was tucked in my handbag.. can't even remember putting it there, and my shoe busted on me again! Stupid shoe! I was just walking along and BAM! Again, Busted! Worst buy ever... This is return number 2! 


Any who, hope y'all enjoy the long weekend! I know I will, Easter with family and a night out on the town with Pani! Can't wait to check in with you all soon xx
