Sunday Afternoon

My morning started in the gym, (OMG, Yes you did read that right) THE GYM!! I thought it was about time to visit the gym room since its downstairs and technically I am paying for it with some of the rent I am paying. So why not use it? It has only taken me 3 months to finally get there. A Gym Junkie I am not.

After an hour of exercise it was time to get ready for a family celebration - The Christening of my Nephew. It was wonderful to be a part of this special day in the life of my cute little nephew. Always nice to share in life momentous occasions.

He did seem to enjoy the present I gave him of a cuddle Winnie The Pooh Bear and DVD. Here's hoping to hours of peace and quiet for Mum and loads of cuddles for Pooh.

After a busy morning, my afternoon was a pleasant and relaxing few hours with the latest magazines. My favourite way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Magazines, snacks and sunshine. My idea of Sunday heaven.

August Magazines

Then it was all eyes to the TV as I watched The Block Final for 2013. Well done to Alisa and Lysandra. But I am so glad that everyone made some cash this time. Especially Maddie & Jarrod who were adorable thanks to their cluelessness. Here's hoping they all put it to good use.

Now comes my big problem as to what do with all the hours a week I have spent watching The Block for the last couple of months? Big Brother is just crap and not worth the airtime, in my opinion, so I think it may be back to Apple TV and more America's Next Top Model!!!

PS sorry for the ho hum account of my day. Back to my theories on life, love and happiness tomorrow. :)

Handbags

As a girly girl I love shoes, champagne and handbags and fashion and plenty more. But I wanted to share a few handbags I am currently loving. Miu Miu Bag - Image Making Magique The Hermes Birkin. Bliss Loving the pop of neon Another pop of neon My current favourite pop of neon yellow. Am trying to find my own before winter ends. As you can see my current style crush is a more structured tote. One day I will own a Birkin. Wonder what colour I will choose? A black or tan that will go with everything or something a little more special that shows off my fabulous purchase? I am in handbag heaven with these beauties. Can't wait to find my own slice of perfection. I feel a shopping weekend coming on! xxx

Thoughts and Feelings

Hi all, It's such a great feeling to know that I have a place to to put my thoughts. Whether anyone reads them, or takes them on board, isn't really the point. It's about a safe place to download and share. The good, the bad, the exciting and the ugly. While those close to me will know that the last 12 months have been tough and the last 6 more so, others will probably not have noticed a change in the business as usual version of me. (aside from a lack of posting anything). Up until recently, I prided myself on that. On projecting that veneer to the world that everything is ok. But honestly inside I am sad. And it made me realise that we put on this veneer, this mask as if being the real version of ourselves would not be liked and accepted. That people would shun us and think less of us for showing our really feelings and our real lives. In this day of social media and the desire to share the best bits of our lives with everyone (those we know and those we don...
