Just wanted to say Hello xo
hmmm.. so where do I start for the La diary ? I actually thought this would be easier but to be honest the weeks have gone by so quickly, it feels like it was a long long time ago.
I’m going to try my best to re-tell it through photos for you all.
But before I do that, I just want to touch on the word “Family”. Family to me is a very important thing, especially my immediate family. We are a tight, loyal bunch who are always there for each other no matter what. Here, in Australia I don’t really have as much family as I do overseas. So there is always this sort of… hole in my heart, and I do miss them often, quite alot actually. It’s funny though when I tell people I miss my cousins, they look at me in shock. I guess sometimes people don’t appreciate and realise just how lucky they are to have the warmth of loved ones around them in the same state or country.
So in saying this, I just want to let my family know that wherever you are in the world, no matter how far apart we are I love you and Miss you and I wish we could be with each other always. And if you are reading my blog, thankyou, I just wanted to let you know just how important you are to me, even if you already knew that.
Travelling overseas, isn’t always about experiencing the culture, the surroundings, the food, it’s also about spending as much time as you can with the people you love. This time around though, I didn’t get to do that much, too little time and busy running around – before I knew it, Time was up and it was a long flight back home. But I guess that’s okay because there will always be a next time, another opportunity to catch up.
What I love though, Is that every time I go back, It is like I never left and that I had been there with them everyday. That hole in my heart just fills right up, infact it overflows with warmth, acceptance and love ❤ Love you all from the bottom of my heart.
So, Where do I start ?
Let’s just let the camera roll do most of the talking Shall we ?
You know when you’re in California when you see those Palms…
Honolulu in Montrose was so beautifully lit up with Christmas Lights and decorations – It looked so beautiful in the night.
I love landscapes.
LA scenery really trips me out – It always look fake.
I always just want to scrunch my hand up against it because it looks like really good wallpaper or something.
IN N OUT ! Seriously if you don’t eat this while you are there you are completely missing out.
Animal Fries because I was hungry like animal –
and ofcourse appropriate tags – #YESiateboth #dontjudgeme #onvacation
(Don’t count the calories, seriously…don’t!)
Just the start of my shopping…
(I did this much damage in a few hours… but hey if I really have to look at it –
The above photo is a minor dent compared to the overall shopping on this trip. #quickhideyourbankstatement)
USarmenia!?
BIG WANGS !!!!
Say what ?
Okay, honestly – I HAVE NEVER SEEN “PEPSI-COLA” THIS SIZE !…
IT WAS MASSIVE….. OMG who needs REFILLS HERE !!!!!!
One of the best places to have spicy-ass hot wings, a great hangout with friends, and karaoke (if that’s what you’re into) !
Follow that up with some hooka – The night is not over until you have had some hooka
p.s we look so white – we have such GLOW !
Christmas at my Aunties place is always incredibly decorated.
Gotta love Christmas Spirit !
Why look – Where could we be ?
It is the happiest place in the world #disneyland
Spending New Years Eve at Disneyland
mmm Candy… Lots of Candy
Ahoy ! Pirate Ship time.
It’s a small world After all…
Every time I am at Disneyland I visit Esmerelda.
Just quietly, Some more shopping… I did good 
Two weddings and no funerals.. Thankgod !
Thankyou to my amazing cousin for doing my makeup and going out of her way to get me where I needed to be on time looking like a doll !
And to my auntie who did my hair – Love you both so much !

I’ll have to wrap it up now – But don’t worry There is a Part Deux Coming soon !

You often here the term LBD or little black dress and how much of a wardrobe staple just one garment can be. However, from my recent adventure to Los Angeles I found myself something a little different, a little brighter, … Continue reading

They aren’t prescription Drugs, They aren’t sold at a chemist and you certainly DO NOT swallow these. In fact, You aren’t even supposed to eat them hahaha
They are cleverly designed capsules that you break. Each one has a cool little quote inside.
Pretty Neat idea if you want to cheer someone up or make their day.
I’ll have to love you and Leave you.
Lights out Lovers, Have a wonderful work week

Good morning Sydney and beautiful subscribers worldwide !
Happy Sunday to you all !
The weather here in Sydney isn’t looking its best today but oh boy it was super hot yesterday !
So Hot that my best friend and I headed down to our favourite beach had a beautiful lunch at our favourite place (lifesaver cafe – the most scrumptious satay chicken wrap you will ever had !!!!) and even managed to stroll down and visit some amazing boutiques ( post coming soon).
Checkout our pictures below and see what we wore on this sizzling hot spring day.
❤
Brought to you by one of my besties favourite brands LEE.
She wears the Born Free cut out Muscle Tank.
Such a great edgy, festival piece paired with your Lee denim cut-offs to give you a hot spring look.
It has an awesome cut out low scoop back and laser cut details all over the garment with a cool American Eagle placement !!!
WE LOVE IT !
Top : $59.95 from Lee
Denim cut-offs Also from Lee
❤
I wear something with the same kind of festival vibe, just a little bit different.
I’m wearing a cool skull and lace detailed racer back tank. (which you totally can’t see much of) Loose fit for that hot spring/summer day and an Urban Originals Hat.
I think people underestimate the hat alot - It’s such a wonderful piece to accessorise with especially if you are going to spend time under the sun.
You can look hot and be cautious at the same time !
I’ve thrown on just a basic loose knit Cardigan to cover up from the sun as I am on some new skincare and medication for my acne which I will also share with you below !
Top: not quite sure – it’s a perk from work !
Cardigan : Target Knits
Hat: Urban Originals Australia.
(whistling because the hat said so!)
❤
Yesterday was extremely hot – At some point it was 30 degrees !!!… That’s pretty hot for the first week of spring guys. (but it was soooo lovely ! )
As the weather gets warmer we must all remember to SLIP SLOP SLAP right ? I have been trying this new skincare product. -For those of you who don’t know – I have had trouble with my skin and acne for a very long time. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING…. Well NUMEROUS THINGS !!!! and they just don’t work.
I’ve tried dozens of antibiotics, topical medication, the pill, proactive, lots of different products and medicine but nothing has shown more results than ZO skin health by Zein Obagi. This has probably got to be the most expensive skincare I have ever bought but I must say my skin feels good, my face feels good, and everything is slowly going away, it is doing wonders ! AND the great thing is that even if you don’t have acne it is still very good for your skin.
Now, because there products are expensive my local chemist had a giftpack promotion, so I thought I’d give it a go and I suggest the same to anyone who is going to try it.
My Experience :
It is my second week using this product and I’m not going to lie, within the first couple of days of using it, I was already feeling good.
The pack I bought has an exfoliating cleanser, this is the first step. When I say exfoliating I don’t mean harsh granules of sand rubbing against your skin making it all red and horrible. It is a smooth clear gel with little beads that explode or get mushed whilst you are applying it. It does a wonderful job at clearing any dirt and oil from your face and doesn’t leave it feeling dry.
The next step, (also in the pack) Offects, TE pads Acne Pore Treatment. This product Reduces sebum production, removes dead skin cells and deep-cleans congested pores using 2% salicylic acid. It has special Botanical extracts that calm inflammation and soothe irritation, it’s Recommended for oily skin and breakouts. You simply wipe your face with one of these focusing on problem areas until the pad starts to get dry.
This third product I LOVVVVVEEEEEE !!!!!! It is the Oclipse sunscreen and primer spf30 duo ! I use it under my foundation and it gives me an even coverage as well as insanely protecting my skin from that harsh sun.
I have been using these products every day and can already see such great differences. I have few acne popping up here and there, and all that’s left are the blemishes, and that will slowly fade away with the use of ZO skin healths products.
If you don’t know of a good primer or moisturiser to use for your skin, I absolutely recommend this to everyone ! Anyone at any age can use it, you can wear it under your foundation or on its own. It ahs plenty of vitamins and nutrients and your skin will love you for looking after it.
They have a great range of products dedicated to anti-aging, skin health and acne so please do check out the rest of their products. Click here to visit their site.
❤
Well, I’m off for Some Sunday fun regardless of the weather !
Stay tuned this week as I finally bring you the shots from spring/summer !
xxxx Much love,
Yours Truly
