And ain't it true.

WIN.

Yays, So this morning I tried on a black skirt from H&M that I got a while ago from overseas, and the good news is it fits so much better! I have lost my 'holiday' weight :):):):):)

August already.

Soooo I can't actually believe it's already August, It has gone so incredibly fast which in a way I guess is a good thing because it brings us closer to Christmas and my birthday which is in January and all the fun things that happen around that time. But it's also kind of scary how fast time flies, I feel like I need to be making the most of the time I have with people because life is so short, but straight after I have this thought of comfort in knowing that this life is only preparation for the awesome and ever-lasting life in paradise that comes next. I am really so thankful for the family and friends I've been blessed with and the opportunities and experiences I have had at such a young age. I absolutely enjoy my work with the children, and am really finding my classes at uni to be interesting for a change. It's nice to feel settled and feel like I'm actually working towards my career and not just living without thinking of the future. I think teaching will be such a fulfilling occupation.

Well I have quite a few things happening these next couple of weeks, saturday is a big family gathering in celebration of family members birthdays, then next wednesday is my beautiful Freya's birthday she will be so spoilt, I think this year she is getting a huge jumping castle, it looks so freaking cool. Her favourite toys are her prams, I think she has seven, no joke. but I think if I were to buy her another one Dad might have a meltdown because we truely are running out of space to store them all hahaha I think she will like the jumping castle just as much, we also bought her some really cute new clothes, and togs because they are another one of her favourite things, TOGS. haha such a strange but adorable child.

Then the weekend is my cousins 21st down the coast which will be a night to remember I'm sure!! Need to start saving my pennies!

Right now I should be working on my Music Technology assignment which is actually kind of fun because I record myself telling a fairy tale then I add in sound effects/backing music and all that to make it sound cool! ahhhh the joys of actually having GOOD subjects!

Welllllll it has felt good to just vent and whatever.

~ beautiful.

Been really busy lately - what with work and university and all. Recently bought myself a whole year of gym membership, so that is one of my primary focuses for the time being, skinnnnnny and fit. Also with church I have started a program called "the 40 days of purpose" which helps you realise what God's purpose is for your specific life. Every single person has their own purpose, God knew and planned each and every one of us. Awesome to think about but also quite mind-blowing.

My jet lag is now ceasing and I am starting to feel a little normal again which is nice. There are many, many photos from my trip just need to sort through them all and upload my favourites, but again it all takes time!

Anyway I should probably get back to studying. (JOY).

ps. the images are just from random webpages I stumbled across.

I am so sick to death of always having the thought about my weight and wanting to loose it. I feel like I've been at it forever and I'm over the struggle. I want to be at my goal and I want it now. I'm sick of people saying "Nothing happens over night, it's a long process" like FUCK OFF SERIOUSLY.

I need to re motivate and become the strictest I have ever been, because I refuse to spend another summer being one of these girls that wish to laze around in a bikini but instead choose to cover up because they feel gross and fat. Every year my family spends two weeks in the summer at the beach so that is one big motivator.

I also feel that now because I have announced this to the world (Even though it will most likely never get read by anyone) I will feel even more compelled to stay strong.

My ideal weight is 50. I think that is slightly below the healthy weight range for my height but in all seriousness I don't give a shit.

Lovely now that's off my chest I might ponder over a few pictures that give me inspiration.
Oh and for my sake I will update on my progress, because it kinda feels nice putting my thoughts on paper (theoretically.)

few of my purchases...

I think I have gone a little crazy and I still have 10 days in the UK to do some retail therapy. But saying that, instead of spending alot on a few things I have actually been able to find stuff I like and its been on sale!

I bought these two perfumes the other day, I have really liked them for ages and finally I bought them both! Princess - by Vera Wang has more of a vanilla tone and Chloe is really light and feminine. The sales assistant also gave me a few samples of some other popular scents one was Chloe 'Intense', 'Flowerbomb' by Viktor and Rolf (This one is made in Holland so I'm excited to try it) and 'Pure' by Givenchy.

I also bought these cute clog slippers. Handy for keeping my tootsies warm in winter.

More photos coming soon I've just been a bit slack.

Some more images from my trip...

The first image is from a music festival I went to in The Hague. It was loads like the Aussie festival Park Life but smaller and free!

Still can't believe how openly people smoke weed in Holland. It's like, everywhere. You can even buy your own marijuana plant starter kit.
The last image was taken from a canal boat in Amsterdam. It was such a glorious day with perfect weather. Before this I checked out Anne Frank's house, I found it really sad because I'd just started to read the diary and it described the house perfectly so it was weird to be walking through the actual place she was writing from...

Had a bit of a walk through Kalverstraat ( the main shopping strip in Amsterdam) but I didn't really have enough time to have a good look so hopefully I get to come back and have a bit more of an explore!

Next Tuesday I leave for England. I am SO ABSOLUTELY excited for the shopping I shall get up to!

Loads more photos soon!

Bludge afternoon

One week in,

Only one week into my holiday and I feel like I've seen so much and yet I'm still here for another 3 weeks or so until I leave for the UK. In the beginning the weather was absolutely freezing and I found it really unpleasant because I haven't really packed too many winter clothes. Luckily the weather has really picked up and the sun is out. I have been eating the BEST food but after a week of indulging I found it had started taking its toll on my body. So yesterday I went out with mother and we bought a set of scales so we wouldn't have to keep guessing our weight fluctuation. Seeing as previous to this trip I had lost 12 kgs I reeeeaaally didn't want to undo all my good work so at least this way I can keep an eye out on it. For the next few days I've decided to be HELL strict to compensate for my week...

ANYWAY these are just a few images from my adventures this week!

Overseas trip

So finally I am in the beautiful country of Holland. I have been counting down the days for like a year and to be finally here is amazing. I will be here for the next four weeks and then 10 days in the UK. It is so nice to see the family again, honestly feels like my second home.

The shopping here is to-die-for. Can't wait to head out again to the gorgeous little shops in the centre of The Hague.

It's so nice having all the time in the world to just chill and relax, did I mention that our apartment overlooks the Queen's palace gardens? - HHHHEAVEN! <3>

love her hair,

Regrowth looks gorgeous if you have the right shade of blonde with it. Girls these days are too paranoid about regrowth.. I actually love it.
Over the next week I shall upload a photo of my new hair, already taken my first step towards my natural hair colour which is a dirty ash blonde.

On another note, 4 more sleeps <3
I shall be updating my blog every couple of days with photos of my travels, so keep looking, oh and even if you don't have a blog and you're just browsing you can still write comments ;)

8 more sleeps.

I'm now 1000 words away from being on uni holidays, and 8 days until I'm off on my adventure(!!). so effing excited. On another note, father is away the whole weekend which means...GIRLS WEEKEND! But what is quite sad is the first thing I thought of was a big junkfood and romance movie fest. Then I remembered I've cut off all contact with junkfood of any kind. depressssssssso. but it shall all be worth it, I know my body will thank me later.
All I feel like doing is some serious browsing of blogs, but instead I must get my head in the books...

Ciao for now.

Fabienne Vanderhaeghen, so beautiful.

So excited, booked in to have my hair done on Friday... haven't been in quite a few months and I'm keen for a change... right now I'm platinum blonde and so over it. yuckkkkk. I'm thinking some nice ashy brown low lights to make it all look more natural.

Plus I'm down to 11 days until I go overseas! Need to start planning what to take and maybe buy a new suitcase... I definately learnt from last time that the less I pack the more I can take home. mmm so excited I keep thinking about all the delicious food I will be eating and glorious shops and sights I will see. Not to mention the free alcohol on the plane... I also need to pick an outfit to wear which needs to be nice/comfortable.

I should really just get these assignments finished so I can spend the rest of my week daydreaming of what's to come.

YIPPEE

So I'm new to this...

I'm new to the blogging world. I've tried tumblr and didn't really like it so now I'm going to have a go at blogspot. I'm uber excited to share my travels and experiences, purchases and wants. Right now I have a few days until I'm finished uni for the semester and I can have some real fun. I'm leaving for Europe in under 2 weeks and I'm hoping to capture some rather awesome images of my travels with Dad's Leica. So very keeeeen.

Ciao for now
