Happy Monday.

I feel like that is an oxy moron. Unless you don’t work on Mondays, then it really would be a happy Monday.

How cute is this kid? 

I picked up these cute little decorations for home from OzSale last week, but I forgot to blog about them and now the sale is over. Sorry!

I feel that they will be right at home with my sausage dog statue that I got from Target for $12 once upon a time.

He lives on our bedside table as a constant reminder for The Husband that I want a dog. 

I nearly got this sausage dog candle holder but decided it was just too creepy. 

If you want to sign up to OzSale, you can use my invite link HERE 

I’ve been trying to bully myself into going to the gym before work but it doesn’t seem very effective on these cold mornings. 

This photo made the rounds last week, first to my niece who was sending me picture messages and then on to The Husband.

Creative, I know.

 My lips look so pink but I didn’t have any lipstick on. 

I’m still on a pizza crusade using our little pizza oven.

I love that thing.

The standard pizza that I whip up for The Husband is salami, red capsicum, mushrooms, ham, mozzarella and bocconcini.

Cheesy goodness like no other.

I suppose I should add more veggies. Which ones work best on pizza?

I prepare it when I get home and then wait for The Husband to text me saying he is 10 minutes away before I put it in the pizza oven, which takes maximum 5 minutes to cook.

This was my casual Friday outfit.

How bad was the weather? We schlepped it over to our local dumpling house and nearly got drowned on the way.

The yellow jacket is still getting worn to death.

After work I headed to The Newmarket Hotel with the usual suspects. I’m on a sober crusade so I just watched their antics.

This is the organized mess on the back of my door.

 Remember the green hanging thing I got for $2.80 from that asian store a few weeks back? It has come in handy for hanging necklaces, who would have thought.

I love using an antipodes water bottle as a vase.

This was the mess on my chest of drawers, which I need to replace, stat.

I got them years ago from Ikea, the cheapest of the cheap, and now the drawers are all bung and hardly pull out but I think that I should put up with it until we move, one dayyyy.

Anyway, I have a bad habit of taking off my clothes and dumping them on the drawers instead of hanging them up. Who has a cure for this disease?

This is the before and after, once I had taken it upon myself to clean up my clutter.  Job well done. 

Sponsored Video: River Island Vogue Off!!

I don’t know if I have ever mentioned this, but at every wedding and party that I go to, I am bound to rip out my killer dance move: the robot.   It usually ends in me on an unnatural angle, with my arm bent and hanging limply and a dead robot face. This is my standard dance move and if you have not seen it yet, I do slightly pity you.

Anyway, I was recently contacted by River Island in regards to doing a sponsored post to get their awesome new video app out and about, River Island Vogue Off.

Hot damn, I thought. This is the post for me.  Not only do I love these kinds of apps where you can upload your own face and do a high-larious video, but I also love browsing on River Island which is a high street fashion label from the UK.


You can upload your photo to the Vogue Off app here and create your own high-larious video! Please share the link with me afterwards so I can be thoroughly entertained. 


You can watch mine here!! My head could have been bigger.... and less shiny. 

I've already chosen my favourite item from the Floral Collection which is this Peplum dress.

Have you ever purchased from River Island? Orders are shipped from the UK and it costs £10.00 to ship to Australia.

Sponsored by River Island but all thoughts and opinions are my own, as usual! 

It’s all Pink to me.

There is lots of pink in this post.

I don’t usually have so much pink to share with you but this is an exception I suppose.

First up.

This China Glaze ‘Oxygen’ polish is a bit of a bitch. It takes ages to get the right coverage, not too streaky, not too gluggy and then it takes ages to dry. Far longer than any of my other polishes and that is with super fast drying top coat stuff. 

My roses are still going strong.
Strong like Bull.

I’m still in love with this bud vase. For only $10 I think I need to buy more, like 20 more, but not yet, not until I am allowed off my budget leash. 

Can you tell that my Mother In Law had two boys? Neither of them were partial to pink I am sure, so she is quick to stock up on extra girly looking things when it comes to buying presents for me.

You know what, I’m not sure that I own anything hot pink. Maybe my bridal belt which was pretty hot pink but that’s all I can think of. I have a deep pink wrap dress but that is all that is coming to mind. 

The Husband and I went to watch The Dictator on Friday night and as expected it was stupid, but quite funny. 

Why is one of my flowers bung? Why oh why. 

Whilst The Husband was buying his mum a mothers day card, he saw this and thought of me, so bought it.

He forgot to give it to me and then remembered on Saturday morning so rushed off to fill it out whilst I was in the bathroom.

It wasn’t until he opened it to write on it that he realized it was a Mothers Day card because it was in a wrapper, and felt terrible that he was giving me a Mothers Day card in light of our situation, haha. 

He added in a helpful ‘next year’ but it wasn’t enough to stop the tears.

He was so confused as to why I was crying and I was sobbing “I don’t know if its because you wrote such lovely things or because it was a mothers day card Wah Wah Wah Wah”. Poor guy. 

He was only trying to make me happy! Emotions are calming down now. 

I was trying to kill time in Geelong yesterday so went exploring the furniture shops and found this amazing seat in Harvey Norman.

I do want it. 

The colour is totally off here. Damn you instagram, you are meant to make my photos better not worse.

Anyway, this is my Clueless dress. I’m not sure if it before or after the make over though. 

Bye.

Jellyfish, Camilla Franks, Roses & Photos.

Okay. Everyone is amazing. 

Thank you so much for all the love and support in response to my last post! I wasn't expecting that. 

I was just having a bad day and needed to get it off my (ample) chest, ha. 

cotton socks read my post and then was at my workplace an hour later with these amazing flowers. 

She is awesome. 

They are beautiful and definitely cheered me up! 

I got these three cute bud vases from Pash on Bay Street, Brighton and will post better photos eventually. They are very cute. 

I tried on this Camilla Franks dress, thinking it could be good for an upcoming destination wedding that I am going to, but whilst I love the colors and the fabric, the cut is probably not the best that I can do.

It definitely looks better on me once I tied the ties around my waist, even if it is not meant to be worn like that originally. 

My back looks deformed.

I’m not sure if that is my spine or not, but why is it curved like that? Surely that is trick photography. 

I’ve been trying to embrace necklaces lately.

I have two on here, both from Myer and by a brand that I have no hope of remembering.

I’ve got on my faithful Target dress which is too short to wear without tights.

Can you get knee surgery? I hear that Victoria Beckham had it done. I want it. 

This stuff is weird. It has gluggy bits in it and I feel like I am eating jellyfish. 

I’m still drinking my Chlorophyll. I’m not sure if I have really had any benefits from it, but it has given me more energy and turned my pee green. 

This is my drawer at work. It used to be full of Snickers and Boost Bars. I’ve changed my ways…

Now I keep those in my handbag. 

I’m not really sure if I am feeling the love for this nail polish as much as the other ones that The Husband chose for me.

This is Sephora by OPI – I only shop vintage (accent nail is China Glaze Snowglobe)

I feel like it is too close to my skin tone or something. Not that I am golden, more yellow really. 

My Canon Powershot SX230HS has a broken shutter and a scratched lens. I think I will just get it fixed as I have been told by Canon it will only cost $178…

Do you think it is worth buying photoshop?! I want to have awesome photos.

I feel like I am too much of a novice for a big fancy camera, and would never take it anywhere.

Help me!! 

Yellow Jacket, Clomid, Mexican & Stuff.

I only blogged one last week. Sorry about that.

I’ve been in a bit of a funk really. I started some new medication and it really took it out of me.

I’m usually pretty upbeat and my glass is always half full but I feel like it is slowly emptying.

Whenever someone asks me “what is taking you so long to get pregnant” or “When are you planning on having children”, I feel the heat rise up through my body and my face gets red and I feel like spitting venom out. All I can say is “when the time is right” and hope that shuts them up.

The side effects of my medication that I have had were chronic headaches, one night it was so bad that whenever I lay my head down I was yelping in pain and the nurofen did nothing. The Husband thought I was having a brain aneurism. I had to take the next day off work as it was still really bad and I had no sleep. It hurt to move.

I’ve also had terrible hot flushes. One hot flush was so bad that I put my head in the fridge at work. I was literally dripping with sweat, red all over and generally going insane. That was my worst one so far, but during the night I tend to get little heat flushes and then go back to freezing. I cannot win.

The most annoying side effects has probably been that I have been highly emotional. I was watching I Am Legend (which I have watched 10000 times) and bawled my eyes out during it, which is unusual for me, and then was left feeling quite anxious and apprehensive about what was going to come next so badly that I had to turn off the TV and go to bed. I’m never normally like this!

I wrote this and then I deleted it.

I must have deleted and rewrote it 4 times before saving the post, closing the page and considering whether or not to post it over night.

I decided that I should post it because I have never held back on this blog before.

I know that I should not be embarrassed about it, and I am sure there are lots of other women out there who go through this and have nobody to talk to, but I cant help but be embarrassed by it. I’m a young girlwomanthing, I wont lie, I thought I would get pregnant within months.

I’m taking clomid which is fertility medication to help me ovulate. Apparently I don’t ovulate enough to get pregnant or some crap like that.

It was pretty disheartening after having all of my progesterone blood tests done and my doctor told me that not only did I have cysts on my ovaries, PCO but that I was also not ovulating and therefore would not be falling pregnant without some help.

I stood on Bourke Street in the city and cried outside the doctors surgery for ages. I rang The Husband and told him and he said that it was good news, not bad news. If I didn’t find this out now then who knows how long we would have tried to no avail.

I changed doctors early this year after my normal GP told me he thought that I was six weeks pregnant in December. I wasn’t. Thanks dude. Way to not do a blood test, and throw out predications like that without anything to back it up except for an absent period.

Anyway, I haven’t told that many people that I am on clomid so to all of my friends and family who are reading this, sorry if I haven’t told you and you think that I should have. Its all out there now.

In the end, so many women have fertility issues and lots of women can not get pregnant at all so I feel like I shouldn’t be complaining, and I should be considering them, but I am allowed to feel a little bit lost too. If you are having/have had fertility issues, I really hope that this doesn’t come across as insensitive or moaning too much, I really don’t want it to be like that.

I just need a little bit of luck on my side. 

So, the moral of this story is, keep your fingers crossed that it works and gets the job done!

In brighter news, I got a new jacket from Zara and it is freaking amazing. I have already worn it every day since I got it.

How could you not love it?! It is yellow for crying out loud!

You had better believe that I will be buying it in every colour that I see.

I’m still wearing my Zara Childrens Cardigan, don’t worry

I headed to Miss Fox on Friday to get my eyebrows and mustache threaded (it still hurts like hell) and after Victoria heard me whining about my skin and how I have given up on it, and life, she whisked me upstairs for a peel.

I told you I have gotten in a funk. I’m glad I’m back on the peel bandwagon again though, they really are fantastic.

My pimples are just spreading and multiplying and have even moved into my hair. WHY?!

This blue light contractions shows up oil and all that other grossness.

I hope you are not eating when you see this.

And before I get the obligatory ‘you should be thankful for you skin, some people have NO skin’ comment, everything is relative and if I want to complain about it, I damn well will. You really don’t have to read it. This is a very complaint centred post.

My skin is looking rather glowy after the peel, and it didn’t even hurt. Success. 

My friend Sam has started her own candle making business, called Coast – Natural Soy Wax Candles! I’m all about supporting small businesses, and friends, so thought I would share the love on here.

I ordered this Coconut & Lime candle ($25).

My Coconut & Lime candle is sitting on my desk at work, and it is omitting the most amazing smell even though it has not been lit yet! People are walking past and licking their lips I tell you. 

You can buy them on the Coast Facebook page, HERE  

I tried to be fancy and use rhinestones on my Dior – Plaza manicure but it was a fail. 

I went to Senoritas with cotton socks instead of going to boxing last week. Just how I like it. 

Essie – Fiji.

Standard pastel pink but it takes 4 coats to look good. Mine is a streaky mess. 

The Husband and I went to see Dark Shadows on Friday night and I really enjoyed it.

He fell asleep about 10 minutes into it and as were stuck in the third front row, I had my head on his shoulder so I could look up at the screen comfortably. At one point his head kind of lolled around and I whispered “you can rest your head on mine” as I thought that would be more comfortable for him. He snapped back something in gibberish. Maybe it was Serbian, I am not sure but it sounded like he was speaking in tongues. Weird.

He maintains that he just said “shhhhh” but let me tell you, he was a freak.

Speaking of freaks, Johnny Depp is awesome. The end of the movie was too weird for me though. 

2 coats of Sephora by OPI – Opening Night

1 coat of OPI – DS Magic

1 accent nail of China Glaze – Snowglobe.

I was intending on wearing my new blue dress to dinner this night so thought I would go all Beyonce on y’all and rock a blue nail.

Of course, we had Mothers Day on Sunday.

I took my mum out to China Bar, along with Joseph, Emma and Grant. The service was not very good this time as they were crazy packed but the food was still good! 

How weird is that guy in the back. He has a proper cone head. I’m impressed. 

My China Glaze polishes arrived from OzSale.com.au last Friday. Yipppeeeee.

I got Snowglobe & Nova. I was obviously holding back.  

On Saturday, that man that I so fondly call The Husband came home with a new coffee machine, a pod one.

The only issue with this is that we received a coffee machine as a wedding gift and have not used it yet. So now we have 2 coffee machines. The pod one is super easy though, which is what I like to hear.

Apparently the lady in Myer made him a cup of coffee and then he felt obliged to buy it, or something like that.

I’m happy, now I don’t need to trek down the street to get him a coffee on the weekend.

Well, okay, I’ve only done that twice, I usually say No. But still! 

Two blog posts so far this week. I’m already on top of my game!!
