Snippet

This is a snippet of things i like and things that sum me up in a way.

Polyvore is so fun. I only just found it so excuse the mass collages.

I find myself visiting my family lately nearly every weekend- and it's great, i love it. But i can't figure out why i miss them so much and feel like i need to be there all the time. I mean, if i'm going to get personal and really answer that question i guess it would be because i feel like i owe it to my mum to help her out.

But anyway.

I miss living with my family every now and then - but on the other hand living out of home with my boyfriend is the best thing that's happened to me in a very long time.

He and i could not live our lives without each other. I honestly wouldn't know where i would be without this boy.

UM: Is this girls hair not killing it?!

I'm so jealous it's unreal.

I don't really know what i am supposed to do when i finish this visual art course. Ideally go to uni but i'm just having these thoughts like 'Do i really want to do a four year uni course in a really hard field?' & 'Is this going anywhere, am i going to ever have a career?'

Its so scary because i feel like i need some stability in my job/finance area. I feel like i should have a full time job that's permanent. But it's so, so hard due to all this unemployment & lack of jobs around. It's so killing me and makes things very shaky.

Hopefully something kicks off soon because i hate not being grounded.

I love beauty products and cosmetics. There i said it.

But seriously, i really do. If i wasn't studying art i would be studying beauty.

Ever since i can remember, i have always liked to look after my skin and look presentable.

I've had a few people recently ask me my favourite products so i'm laying it all out here.

I don't give a shit if i wear too much make up sometimes, because that's who i am and that's something i don't have to justify. This also links in with my constant hair colour changes. At the moment as seen in bottom picture- i have bright copper hair.

Here's my skin and hair care top favourites:

Cosmetic brands: MAC- I wish i worked for this company. I love every product. All time favourite.

Benefit- Smartest, most beautifully packaged goods and very good quality!

Primer: MAC prep + prime, works so nicely on my skin and shimmers in the light :)

Foundation & concealers: I use MAC Studio fix fluid SPF 15 and Also the Studio fix powder. If i use concealer it is normally MACs studio finish.

Eyes, Eyebrows: I normally just use whatever liquid eyeliner i can find but the best i have come across is by YSL. I use a simple Rimmel brown pencil over my brows & when it comes to mascara Benefit Bad Gal is amazing.

Lipsticks: Once again i'm going to say MAC are my pick. I like Snob, Cyber, Lady Danger, Rebel and Morange and often mix shades together.

Hair products: I don't use a lot in my hair but Joico and Burts Bees shampoo & conditioners are such a treat on my hair. Also Aveda is just as good but sometimes makes hair a little dense.

New hair colour, did it myself. :)

================================================

Today i was productive, i got things done. I just put all my shit aside and went to college and pretty much dominated.

It was awesome. I came home all stoked and happy and then just got to relax and make the best dinner ever--

I love cooking, i am constantly reading recipes & watching cooking shows. My mum is an ex desert chef and her partner is a current chef, i just love organic produce and real, fresh cooking.

My favourite chefs are Donna Hay, Stephanie Alexander, Charmaine Solomon, Neil Perry & Jamie Oliver.

My favourite cooking shows are: Gordon Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares, Iron chef, Masterchef, Maggie & Simon, Pohs Kitchen & Ready Steady Cook.

But anyway back to college- our work is getting hung in the local library in a few weeks so i spent the day prepping my work for presenting, which was a shitheap because i hate making crops/tidying work/attaching hooks.. But i got it done eventually.

I feel so high right now.

Imagine this as your bedroom- it's so enchanting i just want it to get in my life!!!

Blame-Qui

Back home again. Had a nice 2 nights down with my family but am glad to be home in a sense. I got a nice surprise yesterday, kind of like a pay bonus which lightened my mood a little because i have been getting very down and out about bills and expenses lately- the weird thing is though, my horoscope seriously predicted that. Or so i think anyway.

I'm wearing my Nirvana shirt today, you know those big black band ones with the sick smiley on the front and text on back in yellow. Yep, this is my all-time favourite shirt. It is the most comfy, worn out and faded shirt i own. I realised yesterday i have an obsession with mens shirts.. or my boyfriends shirts anyway.

==============================================

So in following Lulu i decided to do a snapshot of what my daily handbag entitles. I think it's interesting what we choose to carry on us on regular times. I love my bag. I love having a bag. So there.

I got this bag given to my from my mumma on christmas of last year, it's by country road and honestly the sturdiest and best looking thing i own. It's matte leather too, she remembered i hate patents. As for what i carry around: Wallet, a.o almond and apricot bar, rosewater hand therapy by crabtree and evelyn, sportsgirl sunglasses, my cigarettes, snow fairy solid perfume, I am Ozzy biography (amazing), carmex cherry lip balm and my grocery list :)

Good-day!
