peas in a pod..

todays post goes out to an amazing woman who has kept me grounded the last couple of years, one who has made me recognise how important my friends are and how much comfort a true friend can provide (if they know it or not)

thanks for being the 2nd pea in my pod..

i will miss your smiling pea face every day, and I promise to squeal with excitement in your memory when things really excite me

..like puppies for example..

love you forever

DIY Doiley project..

i recently stumbled across the best DIY christmas decorations...or perhaps just a fun decorative idea to make your house more interesting all year round. I found this on 'Pininterest'

To get started you will need balloons, doileys (preferably from your grandmas house), paint brushes and wall paper glue.

1. Blow up the Balloon & tie a knot at the end

2. Collect together your doileys and paint them with lots of wallpaper glue so they are soaked completely

3. Hang the balloon on a string and put the soaked lace on the balloon. They have to overlap each other so they will stick together and connect. Put on another coat of extra glue when they are all on the balloon, just to be sure

4. Pop the balloon when the glue is dry. if you like you can attach a nice looking cord and lamp fitting to turn into a lamp. Otherwise just hang on their own.

Either way these are a great little weekend project that will look amazing.

talent time..

Make sure you check out the amazing art by the one and only..

Brooke is an artist who lives and workes in Los Angeles, California. Brooke rarely sleeps and spends most of her time painting, writing, traveling and creating illustrative journals.

"Asphyxiation has taught me the art of effusion. I am a metopolitan mermaid with a moxie to live through constant migration. My paintings are memories, marks and maps to document my salvation from arteriosclerosis caused by oxidization. My destination is to create a contagion of demiurge through apostrophe and swell above the catastrophe caused by modern day miasma. That is my bio." - Brooke Reidt

vampires on my mind..

ever since watching breaking dawn I have had anything vampire associated on my mind. Though from the first watch, I think the movie was totally overrated when factoring in the budget they had. but I'll hold onto that thought and watch it again...just in case

another one off the list..

while browsing for the perfect wedding invitations, i stumbled across these bad boys.. if only i had a spare $3,500!

if you just got a payrise like julia gillard, click here to purchase some of your own customized invites.

why does it feel like i'm getting more crossed off my 'i'll never be able to afford that' wedding list and not my 'actual wedding' list?

happy birthday mum..

here's to not letting your memory fade away,

miss you more and more every day

adult comfort..

how as an adult can you get that instant comfort like when you were a child? a kiss from mum made everything better when you fell. you had nightmares and upon awaking, would run into your mum and dads room and sleep the rest of the night with them in their bed.

why as an adult is it much harder to be truly comforted?

listen to coco..

i saw a girl squatting in the streets over the weekend. it reminded me of a near-horrific experience of mine which involved contemplating pissing in a maxi taxi i was so busting. the only thing that stopped me..i was wearing my new jc's and the thought of getting any on them made me hold it like i never have before..

back from bali..

well peeps. firstly, many apologies for being slack with my blog posts, but let me explain...

my amazing fiance got even better, when he surprised me with a trip to bali with some of my girlfriends with 2 days notice! movie moment-hell yes.

the trip was not short of amazing, it consisted of: a large consumption of alcohol, some amazing purchases thanks to virgin losing my bag ($500 travel insurance payout- thank you very much),  the best cocktails of my life (pistachio martini and wasabi cucumber cocktail), somewhat of a tan (although I have been avoiding the shower lately as it's practically washing away with every rinse), a brief encounter with lara bingle and her saucy fling (FYI ladies, yes she has cellulite), many many bruises (though this is kind of in junction with the alcohol consumption...), an amazing wedding with many photos to prove it, some great quality girl time (includes our new balinese girl friends who apparently talk about penises as much as we do), some of the best playlists i have ever listened to at our private villa, and many memories i will take with me forever

i will leave you with some photos of our trip and a joke that proved to be very entertaining after a few cocktails...
