Pamper Night...

Tonight I treated myself to a pamper night.

A night full of waxing and tinting, and lashes and make up and straightening the hair.

Thanks to the talented Liv!!!

All I need now is a hair cut!!

Do you like my amazing lashes? 

Wish they were forever!

My Little Piece of Heaven

Everyone need a place in which they can get away from the stress of every day life.

For me it's my room, my little piece of heaven on earth.

There are a few parts to my room.

And today Im going to give you a bit of a tour of my creative area.

I love this space,

I am slowly getting it organised to the way I like it.

I also store my sewing machine under my desk.

I have in the past normally never really been creative,

But thanks to Pinterest and some amazing blogger

They have given me the inspiration that I need to start to enjoy it.

I'll share some more of my room soon :)

101 Random Facts About Me...

I have now been blogging for just over two years.

I have really enjoyed getting to know people and getting to know myself better.

But now I want to get to know you all a lot better.

And I want you to know me better.

As apart of my 101 in 1001 project

I am going to share with you 101 random things about me.

1. I am the youngest of 6 kids! I have now got... two brothers, three sisters, two brother-in-laws, one sister-in-law, two nephews, three nieces, and one niece or nephew on the way. Big family and I love each and every one of them.
2. I hate having dry hands, lips and feet, you know that yucky dry feeling, hello hand moisturiser and body lotion! And lip balms are my best friends.
3. I love stationary, I really wished I studied so that I had a better excuses to buy more!
4. The opening to my doona always has to be at the bottom of the bed.
5. I crack a lot... my knees, hips, ankles, shoulders, thumbs... all crack. The worst are my knees. They sounds like creaky stairs.
6. I love reading chick flick books, sometimes it's just nice to curl up to a good book and let yourself dream.
7. I love bright nail polish, and i have lots of colours.
8. I can bend my thumb back and behind my knuckles and make a fist. Hello being double jointed.
9. I love music, I am aways listening to some form of music, and I have a wide taste range. But there are times that I love to just sit and enjoy the silence, and listen to nature.
10. I am allergic to rock melon otherwise known as Cantaloupe.

A Girl With Curls...

I am not one that likes to put photos up of myself,

I'm kinda camera shy,

And don't have a huge amount of self confidence 

(to be completely honest)

But I thought that you may like to see 

What I do when I feel like a change,

When I feel like a mini-make over.

I was born with curly ringlet hair,

Growing up I hated it,

I dread my hair being brushed,

Because it hurt like hell when it was knotty.

I could never do anything with it,

It would just go frizzy,

Kinda looking like a fur ball.

But in my adult years,

I have come to love it.

I have learnt how to control it,

And make it look cool.

Sure it take a lot of effort,

And cost quiet a bit too with the products I have to use,

But it's well worth it!

Now I love my hair and don't wish for anything different.

*Bad Photo*

Even though I love my curls,

Once in a while I feel like a change,

Feel like being different for a day of two.

That's when I do this...

Turn my curls to straight hair!

What do you think?

Different isn't it!

And my hair is so much longer straight!

Rediscovered Love...

I have fallen back in love with my curly hair!

My hair is high maintenance!

To keep my curls looking good,

It takes a lot of work, products and money!

BUT...

The end product is so worth it!

Today, 2 years ago,

I made a decision,

I looked at my life,

& decided that I needed to change the path that I was on.

That I was not happy,

& I deserved a better life then I was living.

Today, 2 years ago,

I turned my life upside down,

& inside out.

I reviewed every area of my life,

& made choices that will effect my life forever,

For the better.

Today, 2 years ago,

I started one of the hardest & longest trials of my life.

I had no idea what was install for me,

But I knew that the end goal will be worth it,

No one ever going to be easy.

I will experience my very lowest day,

& I will experience my happiest day possible.

Today, two years ago,

I started to break bad habits,

I quit smoking & drinking.
Which was the blocker of a lot of emotion stuff.
Smoking and drinking made me numb to what was going on with me and my life.

Today, two years ago,

I returned to the faith that my parents raised me in.

I returned to church,

I continually work on my testimony on the gospel.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (mormon)

I am non-smoker

I am non-drinker

I am improving my fitness

I am getting fit and losing weight

I am improving my health

I am improving the relationships with my family members

I am working on opening up to my friends more

I am working on becoming a better person.

I am developing my career

I am working on my anxiety disorder

I am the happiest I have ever been!!

The past 5 years have been the hardest of my life, 

The past 2 year have been a different type of harder then the 3 before it.

But all the trials I have been through have taught me so much

I never regret a single thing in my life

Because they have made me who I am,

And where I am today

And for that I am grateful for!

There are a handful of people that with
their support, encouragement, advise,
& a shoulder to lean on.
They know who they are,
And become of them, they have helped my get where I am today,
For that I will be eternally grateful for you!

Sunday...

It's that time of the week that I look forward to,

Two day to myself with no work and to be able to do what I want to do!

This is how I have spent my Sunday...

Yep, stuck in bed!

I started to get sick thursday night with a sore throat

So me and lisa went to the supermarket to get supplies to get me all better.

I thought it had worked...

Until I got even more sick late last night,

Now i've spent all of today in bed trying to get rid of this stupid flu...

NOT HOW I WANTED TO SPEND MY SUNDAY!

Some of my supplies to get me better...

Plus a few things that are missing from the photo

Orange juice, water, Raspberry & Peach herbal tea.

Kinda my survival kit

A few things to get me through, so not to get bored...

A good book,

Also taking the time to catch up on my letter writing and postcards.

Also a few other things that have gotten me through...

One Tree Hill episodes,

Mini pizza's that Lisa has cooked me for tea! Yummy

Music (been listening to Adele's new album-21, such good music!)

Dear Flu,

Please pack you bags and leave my body along,

Pretty please :)

From Jess.

Hope your Sunday has been better then mine :)

Tonight I have had a very productive evening...

After work I...

Did two loads of washing,

Planned a weeks worth of meals and wrote up a shopping list,

Folded and put away clothes and towels,

Went supermarket shopping,

Had a quick bite to eat,

Cleaned and vacuumed my room,

Organised my room and unpacked some more

(only have two more boxes to go, and some more organising to do,

photos of my new place coming soon!)

Then I spent the rest of the evening re-formatting spreadsheets and entering data.

I love it when I get lots done!

I knew I had a lot to do..

I was kinda thinking that I wouldn't be able to get it all done,

Which was starting to frustrate me,

But I just got straight into it,

Focused myself,

Kept a mental and physical check list going,

And now I feel great that I got so much done!

Now...

I'm super tired and can't wait for my head to hit the pillow.

Night bloggers! Sweet dreams!

Btw... don't you just love my new PJ's, they're little owls, so cute and super comfy.

Paint the world with colour!

With a few stresses in my life at the moment

I decided to add a bit of fun colour to my world,

Starting small...

The hunt for some ideas...

Once I have moved,

The next part of my life to be brighten up will be my new room.

Oh and by the way...

Me and Lisa found our new house!!

Move in Friday!! YAY!!

Curls

I love my curly hair and all the things that I can do to it!

This hair style only took me about 3 mins to do.

Simple and looks great!

And to make a totally different look all I have to do is straighten my hair

Which takes about 1 & 1/2 hours lol.

-Sorry about the bad photos.

Different look...

Yesterday, to start my holidays the first thing on my list of things to do was to head to the hairdresser for a trim.

I used to straighten my hair on a regular occurrence but now I want to get a better curl back into my hair so I have reduced it to my visits to the hairdresser.

Before with curly hair...

After with straight hair and in a dress, ready for the YSA dance.

Sorry about the bad quality of photo I only had my Iphone to use.

Photoshoot

Few of my favourite photos taken by my very talented cousin Lauren (Lolly) Watson...
