Sunflowers To Bring In Summer

I have made a promise to myself not to buy any dresses until I have reached my goals but I couldn't resist buying this sunflower dress the other day. Sunflowers ooze summer, and although its not my favourite time of the year I instantly felt sunnier!

Today I wasn't in one of my classiest moods, so, I thought that I would help lighten my day by getting dressed up in my new favourite dress for dinner tonight. A couple of sunflowers, pearls, bows and a little pink lipstick and I am ready for a girls night!

It's Beginning To Feel A lot Like Christmas!

This year has come by so fast that it hasn't felt like Christmas at all. But today the women of the family joined in the kitchen, cranked the Christmas tunes and popped the champagne. It was actually amazing to welcome Christmas. Im a creature of habit, I like my traditions and I love being a child on Christmas morning! The sad thing about growing up is that this doesn't always stay the same and things change, so you have to make new traditions. 

The first exchange of presents and walking through the Christmas lights on Christmas eve made it finally feel like Christmas had arrived. Tonight the man in the red suit visits and the family comes together, so for now the cookies and milk and reindeer food are out and were all tucked up in bed. 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight! 

The End Of The Beginning.

Exams are over and every assignment handed in, but not only is it the end of the semester, it is the end of my degree. I have done it, I have completed three years of university and am now walking away to begin the next chapter of my life. 

it is so weird to think that three years ago I was finishing my year 12 exams and deciding how I was going to spend the next three years studying. These three years have gone by so fast, I can not believe that I have finished all my education and am now about to enter the work force and create a career for myself. 

This is it, this is where life begins! 

Health Kick. .

Ok so Its that time of year where I am extremely behind in my state league training after having the season off for an injury. I am determined to reach my goals this season and finally feel good about myself! 

So I have been looking at some health tips and snacks to increase my metabolism. I found these cute and yummy looking snacks on Lauren Conrads blog and these key tips for increasing metabolism! 

Trying New Things. .

Today was one of those days that doesn't go to plan but ends up being better than you thought it would be. I started the day with an outing to the markets with a new friend. I love markets. The trinkets and little ornaments that you can claim as your own and know that not every second person will have it too. I then met some new friends and went to a Japanese restaurant for sushi. Now I'm new to sushi and I have a weird dear of proper raw fish- however despite his I ordered sushi with salmon and Tina and fish eggs and I ate it. Well all of it except the eggs, those I hid under my napkin! We walked up the street to get bubble tea and lollies for the game and ended the day with netball and study with a friend. All in all I would say it was a pretty nice Sunday!
