The Usual Offenders

It’s the start of another week, another day another dollar!

I had a pretty good weekend, fair to say that my highlight was that The Husband came home! After an 8 hour delay, I was at the airport with my palms sweating, butterflies in my stomach, full of excitement and nerves! 
It was like our first date all over again (which I was two hours late for…). 
Who would have thought that a month without seeing him could leave me feeling like that!

I was so excited to see him when he walked out of the international gates, and did a double take as he looked younger. His hair was due for a cut, he had lost weight and bulked up from daily gym sessions (who goes to America and actually comes back fitter?!) and believe me, I ran to him for that hug and kiss.

This was my airport outfit, consisting solely of Zara pieces, except my handbag and shoes.

These classic fit jeans were a fantastic find, they fit perfectly and don’t need to be taken up, which is a miracle for us short legged beings.

Don’t mind my awkward stance.

In order to get ready for his arrival I had the usual wax and threading, I even shaved my legs and slapped on some fake tan. The things we do.

I have never been able to have my 'lady waxing' and my other waxing done by the same people. I just cannot bear the thought of it. 

I had my brows threaded at Miss Fox as usual and as usual they are awesome. Even if threading is a bitch. 

I went to Zara with the girl known as cotton socks and we wound up in the children’s section and I walked out with a jacket for myself, who would have thought. 

I got this chanel-esque tweed jacket for about $45. I need to shop in the children’s section more often! 

Kids must be big these days. 

Essie - Lovey Dovey

This one belongs to Kitty, but I feel the urge to buy it. 

This was my Peacock outfit last week.

OPI DS Temptation over China Glaze Senorita Bonita 

I got totally sucked in by one of those skincare booths in the middle of Melbourne Central.

I usually try and ignore them as I know that if I get sucked in to stopping, I’ll leave with a product.

The girl roped me in, and was so sweet and convincing that I couldn’t resist. Grrrr.

How do people resist them!?

I used to do promo stuff back in the day and every now and then would have the terrible job of handing out pamphlets or samples to people, so I feel guilty now if I don’t stop or grab whatever someone is offering.

This product (honey facial peel) felt pretty nice on my hand and actually exfoliated some skin that I didn’t know was on my supposedly moisturized hands, so I bought it.

I’ll report back on if it is any good.

I’m all for supporting Australian businesses too… but still!

It was $140 but I told her it was too expensive and she gave it to me for $100 plus a free lip balm which has actually been really good. $100 is still expensive so bloody hell it better be worth it. Sigh. 

I popped into a health store last week and said to the staff “I need either chlorophyll or chloroform but whichever is not the date rape drug” and it took a minute for the girls to stop laughing and point me in the right direction.

I had asked if it was okay to take as am hoping to conceive in the future, and then 5 minutes later she looked pointedly at my belly and asked how far along I was.

Hopefully she just heard me wrong and I didn’t look like I was pregnant. I had my peacock outfit on so perhaps need to suck it in or wear spanx.  

I have it in my water at work and it is pretty much tasteless, but it looks disgusting. Perhaps I’ll just suck it down straight next time.

Our apartment is still smelling amazing thanks to this little bad boy.

The Husband was so impressed with how clean and organized it is and then was even more impressed when I cooked him a roast dinner, all whilst wearing a cute frilly white apron. 

Such simple things yet they get me so far haha.

Considering the name of this blog, you would expect me to not be so domestically challenged but hey, what can you do. 

Amongst the presents that The Husband brought be back from America were 16 nail polishes that he picked out himself and then had to cart around the states, and this was one of them.

Sephora by OPI – Mermaid to Order.

He picked out colors that I normally would not look twice at, and he did such a great job! I love them all.

I didn’t sleep through a full night once in the past month but having The Husband back has changed that, thankfully.

Apparently my comment form thing wasn’t working well over the weekend, so hopefully we are back in business now.
