kittentails image header solicitation

Hi e-lovessss! I have been considering for quite a while, that my blog has no real ‘look’ & it is definitely something that I would like to rectify!

I’m (perhaps fruitlessly?) proposing that some lovely reader create me a nice little header that suits my blog. In exchange I would of course provide a link to your own blog & love you forever.

I would try and do this myself, however I don’t have Photoshop on my mac & any other programs are lost on me.

So c’mon! I know there are plenty of graphic design nerd-girls out there, so please please help me out! I will send you gifts in the mail!

I put a spell on you… because you’re mine.

Creedence Clearwater Revival – I put a spell on you

So, little update to provide you with the links to my wonderfully successful (haha!) Economic Stimulus blog carnival, the lovely Whens Dinner & myself took part because we are the only cool people on the internet!

* Whens Dinner – Economic Stimulus

* My economic stimulus wish list

Extra: Le Blog De Sushi – Economic Stimulus 101

Haven’t received mine yet, hehe! No wonder it’s on my mind

This morning I created a: banana, chia seeds, wheatgerm, blueberries, blackberries, apple juice & water.

DELICIOUS. I am pretty good at smoothie life. Unfortunately, no spinach or he would have gone in too!

I’ve been learning some things about trademarks, ownership of a name & just, stuff! And I love it. Makes me so much more excited for the future… just wish I figured out this was what I wanted to do like 7 years ago but I am most grateful for having figured it out at all.

I’m going to go throw my parlux over my wet locks in an attempt to make it look non-shit. A hefty task I assure.

Day of opportunities, illness prevails, study begins!

WHI.

OH TODAY! Today provided me with some greatness, an unsolicited e-mail, a copy of ‘Music Business’ in the mail & an e-mail from someone I’d been waiting on. However, I did feel pretty poorly so that brought the day down.

I’ve already begun reading & studying and I’m sososososo interested in the subject matter already, it’s going to be tricky because I have never done any business studies before & there’s lots of confusing legal things BUT I’m super excited and already chatting on about things to random people who could care less, so that’s a good sign for me at least!

I think the Laura Mercier makeup I purchased may be a shade too pale, as everytime I wear it people comment that I look ‘veryyyyy pale’ – which I don’t mind, because I -am- a ghostie, but it just means I am still searching for the perfect shade for when I want to look glowy & non-porcelain.

Sorry kittens, I am feeling just so boring at the moment due to lack of energy! I get paid Tmw so that should involve a few treats entering my life & perhaps when I awaken my illness will be quelled…

A little illness, a lot of big plans.

We heart it.

Hihihihii, the past week I’ve been feeling veryveryvery rundown and as such haven’t posted in the past 6 days, I do try and post every day but sometimes these things come up! Not to mention that I only have 3ish or less weeks left with my boy until he flies on out of my life again for a few months (asljefi;sijvdksfj) so that takes up a lot of my time too atm!

Here is a cute link! Free things to do alone.

I have a plan, it involves interstate moving, studying my dream course (HOPEFULLY) & being broke for the next 3 years. Here’s hoping it pans out.

Tonight went out for fish & chips aka probably the worst possible items you could put in your body. I ate a pineapple fritter which was tasty.

I’m pretty excited about the future, but really really worried about my finances as I’m meant to travel to the USA for a small stint to spend some time with a boy. I really need to win the lotto or find some alternate supplementary income source, oh gahddd!

Donations of money or wisdom appreciated! xox

Lovely LUSH products & Laura Mercier foundation & yoga

we heart it.

Just seeing that picture makes my teeth feel all sticky & sweet & cavity riddled. But in a good way…

Today was a little bit productive! I made a filling chia seed, frozen strawberry, banana, apple juice, wheatgerm & water smoothie this morning which made over 3 cups and filled me up until after lunch time (however I did wake up at 10am!)

I then went to one of my regular (as can be with crazy shift work job & wax/wane motivational habits) yoga classes. I hadn’t been in a while because many of them are closed during school holidays & have been working nights. So it was quite a workout! And I left feeling very, very sleepy & stretched out.

Errands & shopping where I purchased a few items, GLEEEEEE!

Pix or it didn’t happen so here ye go:

Lush Karma Bubble Bar – I just -loveeee- the scent of this, it smells very spicy & oriental to me – very hippie as it has patchouli, orange oil & lemongrass among others. Mmmmm! If you haven’t tried this you most certainly should! Definitely a Lush favourite of mine

Not waving, but drowning – my Year 11 English Literature teacher made us read this poem, I can’t remember what it was about, but I can say that I probably enjoy this bath bomb more than the ancient words it was named after. It’s so relaxing! I stress out about simple things, so this is very helpful to me.

“Each small violet-blue ball contains a mass of essential oils designed to calm down the mind, to stop worries in their tracks, put everything back into perspective and leave you ready for beddie-byes and a good night’s sleep.”

It is also quite cheap at only $6.50 each. Now some may think that is expensive for a bath! But I don’t, you are paying for your mental health & relaxation! Worth spending on!

You’ve been mangoed – So great! Everytime I smell this I really don’t want to put it down. It’s a teeny tiny bar that melts down to a delightful slippery mess when in the bath, then dissipates. Smells of mango, lemon & lime and is very very moisturising. *drooooool*

Vit E Toner Tab I have never tried these things before, apparently it’s a toner? You pop it into a bowl of hot water, then place your head over it and cover with a towel. I’ve done that before but sans additional product. I think it’s possible that steaming your face is detrimental to your skin, however I’m willing to give this a go for the good of man-kind, the economy & the potential for sweet skin. I’ll keep you posted.

My other most recent purchase was this:

Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation in Porcelain Ivory (I’m a ghostie)

I was unsure as to whether I should go with the Oil-Free version as I am prone to break out a little, or the Moisturising version. I may end up purchasing the Moisturising one too as it does feel a little ‘heavy’ on my skin, but the colour really suits & it gives good coverage that lasts a long time – good things my friends!

Since going in there though, I have lemmings for like 4 other products – SIGH!!! I’ll do a seperate post on them soon.

For now I’m going to go snooze with my American (he is leaving in 3 weeks ;( ) & rest my body in preperation for an early work start Tomorrow! ARGH! Also I have promised myself NO CHOCOLATE CAKES this week. I hope I stick to it.

Chia seeds!

To the tune of: Journey – Don’t stop believing.

Wow, I love this song!

Today I had a really important nutritional discovery that I think will serve me well into the future, so that is pretty exciting for me!

Obviously, it is Chia Seeds! I am pretty bad at explaining things and all that so check this link out: CHIACHIaCHIA.

Basically they are amazing, check this out:

* 8x More
Omega-3s Than Salmon

* 25% More
Dietary Fiber Than Flax Seed

* 30% More
Antioxidants Than Blueberries

* 7x More
Vitamin C Than An Orange

* 15x More
Magnesium Than Broccoli

* 5x More
Calcium Than Whole Milk

* 3x More
Iron Than Spinach

Basically, awesome. And perfect for me! You can throw a bunch of the seeds into your glass of water / juice and it makes little gooey droplets in there – I know that sounds kinda gross, but it’s really nice! It has basically no taste so it’s kind of like eating sago balls & you can make porridge etc out of it! PLUS IT IS SO AMAZINGLY GOOD FOR YOU! WOWOWOOW!

I am going to eat this each day and be healthy.

Lovely!

A public service announcement: Police man fine! :(

To the tune of: Blondie – Hanging on the telephone

Okay! How cute is that sneaky dove up there sneakin a sippppppp. LOVE.

I am just quickly updating to warn y’all about the dangers of late night tired driving and police mans! I received a $150 fine & 3 demerits (THREE!!!!!!!!!) for failing to ‘completely’ stop at a stop sign, despite there being noooooooone around (besides police man obv) and slowing down to a NEAR stop. GOD DAMNIT. I suppose I am silly for not noticing the police car but I was quite tired from working til midnight.

I feel this is a harsh punishment however have accepted my fate, $150 is totes enough to get a lovely amount of makeup though which I was planning on doing this weekend. Well who am I kidding… I’m sure I still will!

Beware of police mans! Drive safely!

In other news, some things pissed me off Today. I also ate 2 x chocolate cake, 1 x box of pizza shapes, 1 x Peters mini vanilla icecream, 2 x chocolate chocolate chip cookies, 1 x milo… and consequently, feel terrible! This after promising myself I would eat ‘real healthy’ Today. ASDLFAJSEIJFSKDJFILSEFJDKSFDSKJFSIJDK. The perils of free food, honestly. It’s a blessing and a curse. I don’t fit into my favourite jeans anymore. My badonkadonk is growing. Must. Stop!

ZZZZZZZZ @ ME.

I’m interested in Portland, vintage dresses and bottle openers disguised as ducks.

This picture fulfills all those criteria.

Vintage dress (altered lovingly by my mama), from Portland, OR. and a darling duck whose wing was inappropriately but amazingly used as an assistant in the transferral of beer from bottle to mouth.

I’m a little deliriously tired, but have made some great progress Today in figuring out what I want to do with myself.

I would like to learn these things @ TAFE studying part-time for who knows how long:

Japanese, Photography (I’m quite terrible at this right now, or perhaps it’s just my cheap camera…!), Events & Auslan.

I feel those four things would be amazing to learn and beneficial to my career / prospects / warding off dementia.

Please listen to Eleventh He Reaches London. They are a friends great band from Perth! ! You probably need to be into songs longer than 5 minutes & into music that could be described as “post-rock has a love affair with banjo wrought epic metal whilst receiving sexual favours from the bastard child of an indie-emo super couple” whatever, they are good and I would like to see them again soon!

Tomorrow I get paid & this is exciting because I have RUN OUT OF MY FAVOURITE MAKE-UP! Oh dear. I’ll be sure to post about it, I’m tossing up between LAURA MERCIER & Bobbi Brown! I used BB foundation last time & quite loved it. However, the tinted moisturiser I own by LM procedes to make me look glowy most days and this could only be greater with a foundation of the same shade. OH GOSH WHO KNOWS ITS ALL SO EXCITING!!!

I’ve eaten way too many pizza shapes, milky bar bunnies & top decks Today. My skin will hate me in a few days!

I’m going to go dream now zzz… my boyfriend would like me to view ‘FAST AND THE FURIOUS’ with him Tomorrow. Shit.

Modcloth wishlist / Economic Stimulus Purchases!

Wheee! So as my last post indicated, I’m lookin to speeeeend some dollars soon! The main part of it will be going towards THIS:

:D:D!

July/Aug imo. for a month or two DEPENDS on many a factor! But I am pretty excited! Return tix to New York for $1600 ish. Pretty amazing dealio!

Ok so… to increase cuteness &/or frivolity in my life I may purchase any or all of these too!

Posie Picking Skirt – This really reminds me of a recent designer range (wow, I can’t remember, Sretsis? Romance was born? Something alone those lines) who had a very similar print. Sooo cute! I probably wont get this because I have a love-hate relationship with skirts due to my love-hate relationship with my hips!

Bright red & patent. Tiny heel. Bow-esque detail. Perfection! I would love to trot about in these & they are cheap too!

Quick trip to the creepy-as-hell side of “cute” things. FAWNED OF HYGIENE TOOTHBRUSH HOLDER. Nothing better than crazy puns & a creepy ass alien looking deer to inspire to clean your teeth in the morning.

This one doesn’t really need any explanation, it just is.

&&& last but certainly not least, these are the cuties I’m most likely to buy, even if I don’t get anything else! “Billy the Crew” socks! SOCUTESOCUTESOCUTE. Imagine these with a mini skirt and flats or even heels. Sooo hot in the dorkiest way ever!

Just a quick update on the Witchery lust situation, I went into the store & they didn’t have a Size 8 in the skirt!!! She checked and there is only ONE left in the STATE! So they are getting it transferred in for me to try on!! YAY! The mushroom spot tee isn’t available instore only online, apparently, so I’m going to have to buy that online. Eep. I think I’m going to do it!
