This morning I went for a morning walk, which is our regular and close by to our house. We are so lucky to live so close to such a beautiful walking trail, the wildlife wasn't out in full swing however there were quite a few Joey's out. Here are some snaps I thought I would share, enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am very lucky to have two weeks off uni for mid semester break that I get to share with you all and would love to spend that time posting and possibly making some videos for you. If you would like to see something specific on the blog please leave a comment below or tweet me at <a href="https://twitter.com/jacquelinejoyc1" target="_blank">@jacquelinejoyc1</a> I will make a point to fulfil all requests for you guys. Now onto the fun stuff! Bath and Body Works unfortunately are not in Australia however we did get a postal service <a href="https://shopmate.auspost.com.au/" target="_blank">Shop Mate</a>. The pricing is pretty hefty and seemed to take forever anddd I didn't have the best experience however that is a whole other story for another review! haha </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Below is a haul of the goodies I picked up from <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/home/index.jsp" target="_blank">Bed Bath & Body Works</a> I have used them up so quickly I'm almost due for another haul as I am still going from my Christmas items! I picked up some hand soaps and 3-wick-candles, unfortunately I couldn't restock on hand sanitiser as the shipping company doesn't allow this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Merry Cookie by White Barn</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I believe this candle has been out for Christmas two years running now, I really like this candle to set down in the kitchen, every time someone comes over and I've burned this they comment on the deliciousness! It's very sweet with vanilla bean scents and smells like you have been baking a fresh bunch of cookies when lit. This is no longer available online, but I would suggest stocking up around Christmas time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is my least favourite candle purchased, when first lit it smells like fresh real Christmas trees however once you leave it burning for a little while it begins to get a really earthy scent to it. I feel like it gets up my nose and I end up sneezing a lot, definitely will <u>not</u> be re-purchasing this one again. <i> </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My FAVOURITE scent! I am so bummed this is no longer online for me to re-order this is such a great quality smelling candle and it captures all scents from around a fireside. I keep this one on my bedside table, the smell projected from the candle even when it is not lit is just amazing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Pumpkin Frost Foaming Soap</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I now totally understand why American's are obsessed with Pumpkin when it comes to October, this stuff smells seriously amazing. The scent is my favourite out of all the soaps I purchased. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This also is a very Christmas'y scent and is very close to that of the Merry Cookie soap scent. As you can see we have been using this one since early January and there is still loads left in the bottle. A little goes a long way with these hand soaps. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I FOUND THE EASTER BUNNY! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">No really.. This morning I woke up and went about my usual routine of a morning at home, coffee, laze around and then potter about the house. As I was getting ready to road trip it to the in-law's my Fiance Joe created an Easter egg hunt for me. Let me start by saying, I really suck at Easter egg hunts. I have totally lost my touch! It took me about an hour to find eight eggs planted around the house with the help of our perfect little bunny Hazelnut (she did get back at me for the above photo opp by stealing on of my eggs). I will definitely be practicing so I am prepared for an epic hunt next year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We spent the day at Joe's parent's house, watching movies, eating roast and an extremely competitive game of Monopoly. This past long weekend has been so nice just getting to spend time with h2b away from the hustle and bustle of life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday, now I am heading back to the couch to finish getting chocolate wasted. Leave me a comment below with what you guys did today and how you like to celebrate over the Easter long weekend!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Life has been pretty crazy lately, so on this beautiful Summers morning I shall sit upon my breakfast bench, drinking my morning smoothie and tell you all about the fruits of my labour (hehe, pun intended here). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Joe and I were pretty lucky in the fact that we purchased our home virtually completely renovated - the only work we really need to do is on two bathrooms, the gardens and entertaining area. This weekend I jumped in little black (yes, my car has a name) - insert, 'ugh, she is one of those people' here - and went on my way to our local bunnings. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I really like the thought of growing your own produce in a farm to table sort of way, it has always been a dream of mine to be able to walk out into my back yard and have produce just a harvested pick and cook now kind of way. In saying that I wanted to share some of my gardening tips and ideas with you all, and of course my personal finished product. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. Soil </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is always good to find out the pH level, or if you're not into it that much the soil that you are going to be working with. Unfortunately we had major plumbing issues and had to dig up our whole back yard to fix the pipes so I knew i would be working with super crappy soil. I swear our soil is more like concrete/rock haha. Due to this I had to buy four bags of garden soil (25L each) to fill the small space below. Firstly I used the pick to loosen the soil i already had, then poured in the new garden soil and mixed it all together with the shovel. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. Location</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You need to ensure you pick a location that gets plenty of sun, your veggie patch should get about 6-8 hours of sun per day. Of course, myself being difficult I chose to plant my veggie patch where there were existing hedges so had to do a LOT of hard work to trim back, remove and replant elsewhere just to get my location sorted. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. Plants </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are many guides on pinterest like the one below that I found that gives you a good guide to plants and what works well with each other. I obviously chose items that we enjoy to eat a lot of and some fun other things that we can experiment with. I chose tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, chives, chilli, baby carrots and capsicum. Needless to say I'm sure the range will expand as it's never good to bite off more then you can chew at the beginning, not to mention initially veggie patches are expensive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now for the fun part, planting your crops! For transplanting (moving from pot to garden) I use the Miracle-Gro MaxFeed Soluble Plant Food, these come in different varieties, I obviously chose the ones for tomatoes, fruits and vegetables. Follow the instructions on the back of the packet. Dig the hole for your plant and pour some MaxFeed in with a small amount of water to assist in the shock that your plants occur when moving them to the garden bed. Repeat this step for every plant you wish to put in, cover with soil and add mulch to the garden bed for Nutrients. Make sure you give the plants a VERY good water, they are going to need watering everyday for at least a week afterwards. Follow with fertiliser every 7 - 14 days. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Firstly my apologies for being a little bit absent this past week, unfortunately I had emergency surgery to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed. I have had about a week off work where I have virtually just starved, taken pain killers, iced my face and slept haha. Needless to say I am SO beyond happy to be back writing frequently for you guys. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now onto the fun stuff.. today I am beginning the first of a series of home decor posts. Our little love nest is coming along slowly but surely. When we moved in we literally just had our bed, bed side tables and the old dresser we will be talking about today. Living with no furniture was somewhat fun, moving in and eating our dinners on a picnic blanket in the living room was a memory we will never forget. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little story behind the furniture piece - Joe bought this dresser years ago, it actually matches the rest of his bedroom set which we will eventually move into the spare room and be revamped. This piece was actually my VERY FIRST paint job! Pre redo this was a very dark wood. Needless to say this job cost me $100 and a quiet weekend in. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>My Tips for Painting Furniture Like a Pro</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sand your furniture piece by hand.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do not get too sand happy!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once sanding is complete wipe excess with a damp cloth then dry with paper towel.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prime your surface with your choice of primer using a paint brush. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ensure your primer coat is not thick! This just needs to be a light coat to avoid drips.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paint as many coloured coats as you need for desired finish.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose a paint that has a shorter dry period to get that project done and dusted! </span></li>
</ul>

NYX is such a great quality and affordable brand, it just makes sense to have some of their products in my kit which I have been building upon, more or less lately. Below are some of my favourite tried and tested products of theirs that have become a staple in my daily makeup routine. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's talk about these products in more detail so you can get a feel for how I use them in my routine. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>STUDIO PERFECT PHOTO-LOVING PRIMER - Anti-Redness green base </i></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My history with primers hasn't been so good, I have tried some of the higher ender products like Napoleon Perdis (all three of their primers) and just seemed to break out. I have also had experience with lower end products such as Revlon's primer and still no luck, this would infuriate me when girls would say 'not to prime is a crime' because every time I primed crime city would pop up all over my face. There are three of these products to choose from and I went with the green based anti-redness formula as when I do get small breakouts I want to be able to cover the redness under my foundation instead of applying more coverage to these areas and making the break out worse. I have been using this product for a good month now, once you apply you can't feel the product on your skin it just makes your skin feel super soft and guess what... no break outs!! </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>PUSH-UP BRA FOR YOUR EYEBROW</i></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been looking for a suitable highlighter for quite some time now, coming with a back up brow pencil was just a bonus (although I'm still using my old faithful anastasia beverly hills pencil). I use the highlighter in the corner of my eye just near the tear duct, on the bottom of the brow bone and under the eye. Sometimes I also find myself using this as a concealer it's great because it doesn't crease. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>DEWY FINISH SETTING SPRAY</i></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm nor usually a fan of setting sprays and tend to like a matte look but I love using this because it means I don't have to worry what-so-ever about touch ups throughout the day (low maintenance is what i'm all about). NYX actually recommend this for make up artists working with professional photographers, me well I'm just a make up enthusiast. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would love to hear your thoughts on NYX, your favourite and not so favourite products. </span></div>

Honestly, what could make Friday any better then this? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.theiconic.com.au/" target="_blank">The ICONIC</a> is currently having their winter sale with some awesome mark downs, so I thought, why not share! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I ordered a few pieces and then the following night continued browsing and ordered a few more, haha. I hadn't shopped this site before so wasn't sure what to expect sizing wise but luckily majority of their Zalora and Ezra by Zalora brand pieces are quite true to size. The great thing about this site is that if you order something that doesn't fit they offer returns and exchanges through your online account with them. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Postage was super quick and I had my items within 2 business days, definitely stowed this one away for any last minute outfit requirements!</span><br />

The only small issue I have is that my jacket sleeves are a little too long however I won't return the item instead have the sleeves hemmed (I'm used to this being so tiny, haha).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you guys liked this haul, if so please comment below and I will be sure to post more of these for you. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I am wanting to share with you all my tried, tested and loved beauty blender dupe. During the week I tend to reach for my pot of <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/cosmetics/face/foundation/colorstay-whipped-creme-makeup-23.7-ml" target="_blank">Revlon Colorstay Whipped</a> however my brush or fingers just weren't cutting the application side of things and I was constantly left feeling like I was wasting way too much product. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't really like the usual sponge application for any foundation however I had heard a lot of hype about the beauty blender from fellow bloggers, but let's be honest is extremely high in price for a sponge. Browsing the isles of my local drug store I came across the Natio Complexion Perfection sponge for a fraction of the price I figured I would give it a whirl as it presents similar shapes on the sponge for blending.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nO7ARAzKVbw/U_A831DWlNI/AAAAAAAABTk/SEEKSreuEkw/s1600/Complexion%2BPerfection%2BFoundation%2BSponge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nO7ARAzKVbw/U_A831DWlNI/AAAAAAAABTk/SEEKSreuEkw/s1600/Complexion%2BPerfection%2BFoundation%2BSponge.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The very tip of the sponge is perfect for getting into tight crevices like under the eyes and around the nose to ensure no creasing occurs. I like to use the slight indent of the middle of the sponge to blend out any lines around my jaw line. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like to wash my sponge after every use to ensure I get the longest possible use and don't apply bacteria and old foundation back to my face. After use I will just pop a bit of my makeup brush cleaner onto the sponge, pop it under warm water and give it a scrub, after i sit it on the bench and it dries out for my next evening or morning use. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi there pretty little loves! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's great to be back from our travels and settled back into our little love nest for good as first home owners. Buying a house together was a big step however for a while now we have been contemplating adding one other to our little family. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Together we umm'ed and ahh'ed about getting a puppy, looking at different breeds and ensuring our yard would be suitable for a dog. Once we investigated we came to the conclusion that realistically it would be unfair to have a puppy and not be able to give it the time and dedication required to extensively train it and ensure it would be taken to puppy school, not to mention all home work completed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I came across a rabbit breeder in a tiny little town two hours from our house and began my research on the <a href="http://www.rabbit.org/" target="_blank">house rabbit society</a>. Some weeks passed by and needless to say I took that road trip out there and picked up our perfect little house bunny Hazelnut, Hazel for short. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Joey is now outnumbered by girls, yet he is so smitten with little Hazel I doubt that he minds. This little bunny has both of our hearts for now and many more years to come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please let me know if any of you guys have a house bunny and share your instagram account, I would love to follow some of Hazel's bunny subbies out there! I look forward to doing some posts for you all on bunny care and training techniques we are trying out at the moment. </span><br />

The flight was extremely short lasting only about an hour and the views prior to landing magnificent clear blue water. We were only in Koh Samui for a few hours before catching our ferry to Koh Panangh, our boat was extremely delayed by hours so we made the most of the location and went swimming at the port. </div><div><br></div><div>Once on the island we checked into the Bayshore resort which was nice however the rooms not quite as luxurious as The Kee Resort, but located right on Haad Rin beach and the most beautiful pool - just check out that view!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K2k5jw7NAMk/U8c95TMGcwI/AAAAAAAABQQ/KNySiA5hp2Q/s640/blogger-image--1378584619.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K2k5jw7NAMk/U8c95TMGcwI/AAAAAAAABQQ/KNySiA5hp2Q/s640/blogger-image--1378584619.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Our first full day on the island we booked a tour heading out kayaking, waterfall climbing and swimming, exploring the island's Chinese temple and caught a boat out of the local fishing village to a snorkeling spot to explore.

We started off our adventure in Patong, Phuket checking into The Kee Resort and Spa which is so central to everything in the heart of the hustle and bustle and is an extremely nice resort. The days flew by walking the streets, bartering for my goodies, eating many different types of food, bathing in the sun and trying every cocktail on the menu (the chi chi is my all time fave 🍹). Unfortunately during our stay here I got struck down by food poisoning so we couldn't get out on the James Bond island tour we booked and the weather was too bad and seas too rough to venture out to Phi Phi island. </div><div><br></div><div>I still find myself very grounded and lucky that I got to experience my first little piece of Asia here and am dreading this trip finishing.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although this is not your typical winter colour it's the perfect colour to don my nails with on my summer getaway to Thailand and I think is winter doable and would look totally cute dolled up with a nice white outfit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is my first essie nail polish and I find the consistency is totally different to any polish I have used. I would love to hear your tips and tricks for application and of course all your favourite colours, please leave these in the comments box below!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tonight I pulled on my most comfortable Lorna Jane, glammed it up with a sweet little lip stain and some pretty little flats to watch the way too funny, The Other Woman. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is definitely the best all girl empowering film I've seen in a long while, mind you I could have watched it again on repeat once the credits started rolling! A girls night out for an all too funny film such as this is such a fun and affordable way to spend your evening that I can promise will give you many laughs throughout. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would love to know your favourite gal films, this one now takes out my top spot. Leave yours in the comments below. </span><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi there my pretty-little-blogettes, </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is no secret that the Victoria Secret Angels' favourite workout is the infamous Ballet Beautiful Barre workout according to their overloaded instagram accounts. Historically ballerinas have such long and lean physiques, these women are just captivatingly beautiful due to their hard work and dedication. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Xtend Barre uses the techniques of ballet and principles of pilates to create a thorough full body work out. To my surprise a studio was built in my local area, today being open day so I went along to the studio this morning to see what all of the fuss was about, and let's admit in hope to walk out with a body similar to that of below. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVIK129_Hq0/U1tBeNV6qkI/AAAAAAAABLs/JgjjJ61b67Q/s1600/lily+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVIK129_Hq0/U1tBeNV6qkI/AAAAAAAABLs/JgjjJ61b67Q/s1600/lily+2.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All hail the mighty Lily Aldridge's curves in all of the right places! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, now that we're all done drooling over the above, I would love to share my experience with you all. I attended the Xtend Barre studio in Miami, previously a wedding gown designers work shop it adorns beautiful big windows for the sun light to filter through, with mirrors and ballet bars fit to the remaining walls. Once all of the ballet terminology was explained we began the class with a 'warm up' and by warm up I mean, in all of my life I have never sweat so much in 10 minutes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The class went for an hour, however I had so much it felt like much less! We did a lot of lengthening exercises, turnouts, <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">pliés and work with the ball along the barre, along with planks, push ups, weighted ballet exercises and made use of the pilates band. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">All in all I would highly recommend heading down to your local barre to give it a go! For those of you who don't have a barre in your local area <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-TkJMASmkM" target="_blank">here</a> is a really easy to follow at home barre workout by VS Sport</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Until next time ...</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Jacqueline xx </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello fellow-book-worms! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nothing brings people closer together then the love of great literature! Today I would like to start a series of posts labelled; you guessed it.. Book Club!! For our first time I would like us all to bury our noses into a fantasy novel (one of my favourite genres) by Patrick Rothfuss The Name of the Wind, the first in the Kingkiller Chronicles. This story is told in the voice of Kvothe and is said to be considered one of the best fantasy books in the 21st century, behind Harry Potter of course. I have buried my nose into the first few chapters and can safely say that ladies and gentlemen this is a good one! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you all enjoy this read as much as I am and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the novel in the comments below. Don't fear, if fantasy is not your forte this is the first of a number of posts and I hope you can join me soon on this book club adventure! What is your favourite novel? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I wanted to share with you a review on my favourite European purchase, my Swarovski jewels. Mid August I was strolling the streets of the town square in Krakow, Poland, the most impressive square I have ever been too and something sparkly caught my eye in the window at Swarovski. Now previous to this I had never purchased from Swarovski as I am a big believer in the whole 'diamonds are a girls best friend' thing and really prefer quality over quantity. While browsing the store I kept being drawn back to these beautiful earrings I caught a glimpse of in the window. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-beJQb1W_9MA/UoTBDNWnOLI/AAAAAAAABJc/o18pHpNHt-k/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-11-14+at+10.22.43+pm.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-beJQb1W_9MA/UoTBDNWnOLI/AAAAAAAABJc/o18pHpNHt-k/s320/Screen+Shot+2013-11-14+at+10.22.43+pm.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Needless to say I took the plunge and I couldn't be happier. The quality of them is great, I'm constantly getting compliments on them and Swarovski provide an international warranty on them, which includes replacement of any crystals if they were to fall out. For any girls out there who have thought about their beautiful pieces but are too scared to take the plunge as I was you will be impressed as I was. I am already contemplating my next purchase! You can purchase these earrings <a href="http://www.swarovski.com/Web_AU/en/1081941/product/Angelic_Pierced_Earrings,_gold-plated.html" target="_blank">here</a> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have been reading my blog for a while now, you would have learned that I am a massive foodie, however I do care for my health (although I do wish I could eat macarons everyday for the rest of my life). Pumpkin soup is one of my very favourite dishes - I love that rich, thick pumpkin consistency and the warmness it leaves in my tummy after a steaming hot bowl full. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I want to share the most amazing pumpkin soup recipe I have had in a very long while.

<br />
Today I wanted to share with the intrigued bride to be's, stationary lovers and organisational freaks (I fit into all of the above categories) my perfect wedding stationary.<br />
<br />
Let me start by saying that I did not go crazy and purchase wedding things as soon as I got engaged, to be honest with you I want to savour every moment of being engaged, lusting over my perfect wedding and planning every little detail as let's be honest you are only engaged for a little while. However it is no secret that pretty little wedding details pop up and innocently surprise us, this is when you need somewhere to put all of your pieces and great ideas together ready for your wedding timeline of purchasing and creating.<br />
<br />
One fine Sunday I was innocently strolling through Robina Town Centre and came across <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/" target="_blank">Kikki k</a> only my most favourite stationary stores. I wandered around landing up at the wedding section and at first glance fell in love with this wedding notes book.<br />

If you have no idea where to start with your wedding planning this is the notebook for you. It features a wedding countdown checklist and tabs for budget, guests, stationary, attire, beauty, flowers, ceremony and vows, transport, reception, venue, cake and caterer, entertainment, photography, gifts, honeymoon and miscellaneous. Within the pages the book goes into such detail and has pockets in the hard cover for things like business cards and paper samples for your invitations. This book is honestly my lifeline!!<br />
<br />
I also purchased the everyday ballpoint pen in cute which is bright and fun. I prefer to write with the same size ball point and ink throughout something special to keep it looking nice and consistent throughout, not to mention this baby is refillable!<br />
<br />

<i>My travels led me to many places, my long haul flight stopped over in Guangzhou China which was interesting to say the least. I was disappointed I did not get to buy many cute Asian pieces as the airport was just way too expensive. Arriving in Europe I landed in Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris where I explored for 5 nights before continuing on to Krakow, Poland for four nights, Vienna Austria for two nights, Hannover Germany for one night, Venice Italy for two nights, Florence Italy for four nights and finally Portici Italy for three nights before venturing back to Paris and home to Australia. </i></div>

<i>The night before I returned home Joe my darling proposed to me while in Portici nestled away in the south of Italy, of course I said yes! Life has been beyond perfect ever since and busy with wedding planning. I hope to share the next year with you all very closely and cannot wait to share all of the pretty little things with you along to way to my journey of a bride to be</i><i>. Bye for now, Jac xxxx</i></div>
