Rainy days

In my town of Ballarat, it is most likey going to rain once a week.  So on rainy days this ia what I like to do!

1. Play Borad Games!

Cluedo is one of my favourites, I always go Miss Scarlett, I don't win very much but I give it a go.
2. Watch a Movie

I enjoy watching the older Batman movies on rainy days as well as romantic comedies like Love Actually, which is one of my favourites in that genre.

3. Hot Chocolate

On a cold day who doesn't love a bit of hot chocolate!

My weekend anthem!

Love this clip, love this song!

I have my eye on..

I love my Gwen Stefani perfume and I use it mainly for nights out with the girls or special events but I feel like I need a change or a new type of smell.  For everyday wear I use So.. Superstar which I love its cheap and still smells amazing but I think I want to wear a new scent just to change it up a bit.

When I went shopping in Melbourne last week I did have a look at a few perfumes and these where to of my favourite smells.

Radiance by Britney Spear smelt amazing! It was a smell which I can see myself wearing.  It was quite fruity, I enjoy fruity perfumes.

Kim Kardashians perfume was another one I enjoyed.  It smelt very feminine. Which makes me like it because it different to all the fruity ones I buy.

I'll let everyone know what I choose! :)

*UPDATED*  I ended up buying Ed Hardy, packaging is awesome! Smells like something I'd wear and the best part was it was half prince $39 down from $80... BARGIN! How could I not!

Busy morning!

Good morning all!


I started my day of with a trip to the gym, 30 min cardio 30 min weights I was stuffed!!  After that I went to the supermarket because I needed more shower gel and I came home with a few goodies!

What I brought!

Rokk Ebony is an Australian brand. I had never tried this brand before but after many coincidences fate forced me to buy it.  During my stay at my boyfriends last night while in the bathroom I was admiring his sisters shampoo which was Rokk Ebony, the bottle was interesting so that drew my attention to it.  She had a special curl one so I just thought maybe it was just for curls.  Anyway leave his house, go to the gym, head to the supermarket and look out what was on special! While going to get my shower gel (that I heart!) I walked past the shampoo's etc and what just happens to be on special 3 for the price of 2 ROKK EBONY! Each of the products were $14.99 so all up I payed $29.98.

They had curl, heat and volume products.  I needed new heat spray so that was a definite buy.  But when it came to the shampoo and conditioner I wanted them both in Volume but alas they only had shampoo in heat or curl so I got heat. 


Heat Shampoo: Smelt nice, didn't lather up as much as I like but my hair felt nice after it, a change from my cheaper brand.
Volume Conditioner: Came out in small doses, once again I like a lot on my hair.  This one didn't smell as nice as the shampoo but I felt that it did its job.
Heat Spray: SMELLS AMAZING! It smells like strawberry's but only slightly, it makes your hair fell and smell fresh! LOVE IT.

I LOVE THIS SHOWER GEL.  I've been using it ever since it came out.  It smells amazing.  Its one of those smells that you just want to eat.  I love the lime one I haven't tried any other ones yet but I they have lemon, mint, chocolate and a few others.  The brand isn't advertised on the front of the bottle but its called PZ Cusson which is a company which sells mainly soaps and stuff.  I payed $3.99 for it - totally worth it!

Last thing I brought was Peppermint Tea.  Love the smell of it but hate the taste, it tastes like nothing to me.  Maybe I need to buy a different brand but I will be sticking to green tea from know on!

Now I'm off to try and do some of my essay! BYE!

Breakfast is good!

Breakfast is one of the best meals of the day.  Everyone should be eating breakfast its important for weight control, energy and helps keep up your metabolism.

This is my breaky this morning.

Green Tea: If your not drinking green tea I would say get to it straight away.  I never used to like the taste of it but once you start drinking in you get used to it.  I have 2 a day.  It is great for to  lowering total cholesterol levels (don't ask me how haha), weight loss and reduces heart disease and cancer.

Oatbran Muffin: My mum makes these oatbrain muffins they are packed with fibre to keep you full during the day.  They are small but it really goes keep me full until lunch! I will get the recipe from my mum and update this post ASAP.

Fruit: Its a great idea to also start off your day with fruit. It is recommended that you have 2-4 servings of fruit a day so you might as well start of having some for breakfast.  They give you good carberhydrates that will also give you energy during the day.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day! Remember to smile! :)

MOVIE REVIEW: Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow - 1999

Director - Tim Burton

Starring - Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Miranda Richardson, Michael Gambon

Screenwriter - Kevin Yagher, Andrew Kevin Walker

Plot - In the town of Sleepy Hollow a number of mysterious murders have taken place where the victoms have decapitated with their heads never found.  Inspector Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) travels to Sleepy Hollow to investigate these murders.

This is one of my favourite movies.  I have seen it so many times when I saw it was on TV today I just had to watch it!

First of all, the plot line and the mystery within the plot was written so well.  There are a few twists and turns during the film that leave the audience on there toes.  All the sub-plots were introduced in the film with ease.

Johnny Depps character, Incabod Crane, is wonderful. He is a lovable, quirky, cowardly, unique fellow that Depp portrayed fantastically.  Depp steals the movie with this acting, I couldn't see anyone else it this role, Depp was the obvious choice to portray this character while the writers were writing it. 

Another acting and character mentions goes to Christopher Walken as the headless horseman, he is so wicked, dark, creepy and evil and Walken did a great job. 

The settings in the film are so eye catching.  The loom and gloom featured in the town of Sleepy Hollow helped the film become even more creepy and mysterious.  It in my opinion was such a Tim Burton thing to do and it really payed of in the end, it added such an effect on the plot.

The ending was very well planned and intertwined into the film, it wasn't one of those films which introduces a character at the last minute explaining how he or she was the mastermind. The mastermind was in the film the whole time and was a character that I never expected until all the clues fit together, it gives the audience a chance to work out who it is throughout the film, like a film should do.

Best Part: Johnny Depps acting.
Worst Part: The wigs that the magistrates wear, they piss me of during the whole film.
Memorable Quote: "You're just in time to have your head cut off" - The mastermind

What I bought in Melborune!

I LOVE SHOPPING IN MELBOURNE!

I live in a sort of country-ish town, so going shopping in Melbourne gives me a chance to go to all the shops that we don't have.  This trip i bought a lot of Winter clothes since Winter is coming up and I needed new clothes. 

I am a sucker for dark clothing especially gray I love my gray clothes but I also love bright clothing. I'm a tad disappointed I brought so much dark clothing but I guess its the colour in Winter.

We spent hours looking through all the shops and I think I came back with a lot of goodies!  I loved everything I brought!

I bought this at Valleygirl, only payed $40. I love it I wore it last night and I've gotta say it was great.  I don't know if the picture is very good but it is a darkish brown colour, I don't have many jackets for some reason so I'm glad I brought this one!

I got this cardigan at Valleygirl as well only payed $15!!! BARGAIN.. It's a sort of creamy gray colour which I need! 

This was from Bardot, I payed a bit more money for this one $70 but I thought it was worth it.  I love wearing knitted dresses and tops so I knew that this was the sort of thing for me.  Would love very nice with a pair of boots.  You could wear this out and about so wear it casually so I think it was a good buy.

Front

Back

 Brought from Bardot and costing $70 again. This is a awesome top, all serious at the front and all party at the back, ha.  It looked good when I tried it one so I thought why not! Once again this could be casual or a party top.

I needed new flats because I go thought them pretty quick.  I always buy them at Ruby shoes because they are cheap and there shoes are cute as.  I got these ones 2 for $30 which was pretty good.

I brought this at Hairhouse Warehouse.  I was watching a YouTube video I believe it to be a video by JLovesMac1 she was talking about this Macadamia Oil product and how she uses it and its really good. So when I came across it I thought I'd give it a go so I just brought a small packet. I haven't used it yet, I'll blog about it when I do but yeah I thought I would give it a try.

Katy Perry Concert

Hey!

On Thursday night I went to the first Katy Perry concert in Melbourne on her California Dreams 2011Tour.

My ticket and next to it was the confetti that was shot out at the finale.

It was FANTASTIC, she is such a great entertainer and performer.  It was so much better then what I was expecting. She is a great singer life and was very confident and outgoing on stage.  Even some lucky people got to go up on stage and dance with her.  The tickets I got were alright, they were like front on tickets but we were quite far back but you could still see alright. 

When we got there was got these cool promotional GHD/Katy Perry bands.

The stage and props used were so cool there was cupcakes, bubbles, clouds, meat? (there was a point to it i promise haha) and lollies.  She worked the stage good and all her dancers were great.

I haven't been to many concerts, it was my first big one in Melbourne and I thought so highly of it, hopefully all concerts are like this!

I also learnt a few things about her:

1. She can play the guitar.
2. All her songs are awesome!!
3. She is soo fit, her legs were all muscle NO FAT.
4. She CAN sing live not like others *cough Fergie Cough*.


All the photos I got were pretty shit I won't lie just because I was so far back and everything was blurry and to get a good shot I have to zoom in heaps soo this is what I ended up with..

A shot of Melbourne, my flash wasn't working.. shattered!

 Just a few pic's before the concert!

This was the stage set up, this was before she came on.

This was the first time she was on stage she popped up from under the stage.

This was when she was singing "E.T", the lights were crazy during this song it was amazingly cool.  They were like lazer beams everywhere. She was dressed as a Cat!

She was singing "Thinking of You" while playing the guitar, beautiful.

I also bought this T-Shirt!  The sizes were men's which was a bit silly, this is a small in a men's.
