Stiletto Nails?



How do we all feel about acrylic nails? Or even press on/glue on nails? I'm in two minds about them, (okay, I've never actually had acrylics before - social anxiety means I do not like getting people to do things for/to me) but I think they need to be REALLY well done to look any good.

At the moment though I'm really liking the look of stiletto nails, something about a hand full of blood coloured claws just appeals to me, (I'm not morbid - I swear). If you don't know what stiletto nails look like, here's a few examples;

Delightful right?? Now I just need to get over my fear of people and get some done!

Actually, I can't really do that anyway because I play netball every week, but a girl can dream!

Wedding Planning

I'd just like to say, I have an extreme love/hate relationship with wedding planning. I find it blissful, looking through so many beautiful ideas on Pinterest, and imagining in my head my absolutely perfect day, but every time I try to translate it over into something that I can actually use for my wedding it's just not quite the same.. I'm semi-crafty, so I plan on doing a lot of D.I.Y, but we are getting married interstate so I still need to think of how I plan on carting everything over there. BUSY TIMES AHEAD. I've picked my dress, I've picked my gorgeous bridesmaids, we've picked the location and we've picked the base ideas for the menu (a couple of spit roasts for roast gravy rolls - ummm... yum!!) but I still have only 1/4 of the invitations made, and we haven't even finalised the guest list yet. It's all very exciting though, and I have plenty of time to potter along and pull things together, I just can't wait for my gorgeous Maid of Honour to finish her round-the-world expedition so she can come home and help me - champagne included, of course! (Fingers crossed she relocates to somewhere a lot closer to me this time too!) A part of me just wishes I was getting married tomorrow, planning is stressful! But at the same time it's super exciting, and I know the only things that I really need is hubby and a celebrant, and ultimately, nothing else really matters!

I really enjoy that I'm an easygoing person. I couldn't imagine being a bridezilla. I just want to have fun!

My beautiful man. I can't wait to be his forever.
(Who am I kidding, I already am.. but still, can't wait for wedding of the motherfuckin' year!)

Impending Fitness

In 3.. 2.. 1..

Just kidding, but in reality, I do need to start upping my fitness levels. I'm the kind of girl who has every intention, but no motivation or willpower to stick to anything, in fact, the only regular fitness that I've done for the last 4 years is play one measly little game of indoor netball a week (with time off to have some babies, and for a particularly horrendous rolled ankle) but getting a little bit older, and just feeling all round general shittiness that's associated with poor diet and lack of exercise has made me take a long hard look at my priorities, and I've realised that I don't want to be an unfit couch potato any longer. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not going to turn into some clean eating, gym bunny.. But I would like to put in just a smidge more effort than I am currently, maybe some more walks with the kids, less movie nights with the hubby, and definitely no more hash brown eating competitions with him (for the record, I'm the winner!) So I purchased a Kambrook Blitz2Go and some new workout gear, and hopefully, this positive mindset is here to stick around for a while, because I want to be better than I am. (And hey, who doesn't?!)

Current fave purchase!

Books and Car Trouble

I have the worst luck with cars, they stress me out! I'd be happy if cars just ceased to exist! (Well, I do appreciate the ability to get places quickly) but even so. If you're wondering where all this stems from, I borrowed my Mum's car yesterday and before I'd even got it out of her driveway I managed to disconnect her window electrics and lose her window down inside the car door, it's happened once before so I know it's not really my fault, but it was the cherry on top of an already average day, so I was NOT a happy camper. It also resulted in me missing out on lunch with a friend, POO-tacular.

The only good thing that's happened to me lately is I've started reading the Hunger Games series',  I can't believe it's taken me this long to read them! They are so freaking good! I've also just read the Divergent series too, also another one that I've supremely enjoyed. So that's why I've been on the down-low, quiet time for the last week or so, I also had a mini tech break, I think it's important to pare back every now and again and just focus on the really important things in life, cause lets face it; the Internet is shit. However, I am back! Partially at least. I just bought my diary for next year so I've got that to organise, and I'm off to Victoria in two weeks for a friends wedding so I'm getting super duper excited for that too! I'm feeling a little blah and stagnant. Taking the boys out camping next weekend so I'm hoping that fixes me up a bit, it'll just be nice to get out of town for a little while, plus camping is my absolute top-notch memory of being a kid, and I'd love it if my kids felt the same way when they're older. I know C-Bug will love it, he's the blokiest little squid I know and he's not even one and a half yet, I can tell already that he's going to be the one with broken bones. Ugh! 

Anyway, just a quick catch up for now, I'll do a proper post a little later! Have a fab afternoon loves!
