Melbourne Star Observation Wheel!

Recently my family and I visited the infamous Melbourne Star! It was a really great experience, there were some awesome views of the city, so I thought I'd share a bunch of the pictures I took :)

   

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Couch to 5k - The Beginning

    Hello everyone!! 

So today, me and one of my best friends officially started the 'Couch to 5k iPhone app'. Its a 9 week fitness program, aiming to get your fitness levels high enough for you to be able to run 5kms in 30 minutes. There's a half hour workout planned for three days every week, which usually alternates walking and jogging. 

Our first workout of Week 1 went really well, it involved jogging for 1 min and walking for 1½ mins, plus a 5 minute warm up and cool down walk. I didn't find it challenging at all, and can honestly say I enjoyed it! 

One thing I find hard personally is staying motivated. And I wasn't going to let myself slack off after a week. So, 'for encouragement', I bought myself a gorgeous new pair of Nike runners. I also put together a playlist, because I think upbeat music is the perfect way to stay motivated, and distracted, during a workout!

If you're planning on starting the app too, let me know in the comments!

Mini LUSH Haul

I had a lovely visit to Lush yesterday, I definitely had to limit myself... everything in there is so tempting! I want it all! Anywho, I thought I'd give you a little look at what I did buy!

Melting Marshmallow Moment Bath Melt - $8.50

This has got to be my absolute favourite Lush product ever. It smells so lovely and sweet, and makes your skin feel just incredible. I especially recommend this to people who are new to Lush as it's a very good quality product and if you like sweet smells, you'll love it.

Rose Queen Bath Ballistic - $4.95

I haven't tried this out just yet but I'm looking forward to it! It's quite a strong scent of rose but I'm hoping it will be a little weaker once I actually use it. I love that there are little bits of rose petals inside, so cute!

Dream Steam Steam Tabs - $2.50 each

 These. Are. Amazing. Basically all you do is fill a bowl with boiling water, drop one in, wait for it to melt in, then bring your face over the top (just above the water) and cover you and the bowl with a towel. The steam helps open and clear out your pores and it's very relaxing, too! Another one I'd definitely recommend.

What are your favourite products from Lush at the moment??

March Bellabox 2014

My final Bellabox! I've really enjoyed getting these! And yes, I do realise it's the middle of April... oops.

 

Pantene Aqua Light Shampoo and Conditioner
I absolutely loved these!! I've bought them again because they just made my hair feel amazing! My hair does get weighed down sometimes (I do have quite a lot of it!) and this specialises in making your hair feel lovely and light, and it did a pretty good job of it!

Swisse Bioactive Nature Oil
I actually used this as a nail and cuticle oil and it was lovely! I didn't use the oil for anything else so I cant say much about it's effect on stretch marks or scars.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡

Natralus Paw Paw Pure Gel
I used this on a horrid mosquito bite and it provided relief for about 5 minutes. I'm very sensitive to insect bites, so maybe if it was another person it would be a bit more effective? It's hard to say!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♡ ♡

Glamourflage Madam Em Bubble Bath
Oooo this smelt like heaven!! Sweet and fruity, my favourite! It was a strong grapefruit scent and made heaps of bubbles. I loved it!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

ModelCO Party Proof Lipstick
When I first saw the colour I didn't think I would like it, as it has a bit of a brown undertone. However once I put it on I actually loved it! It looks nice and natural, and very creamy so it's not drying at all. It also comes with a little mirror on the side, which is such a neat idea!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Glam 3 in 1 Nail Art Pens with Jewels
I loved the idea of this, but it's quality kind of disappointed me. The jewels came off very easily and the stickers kept ripping! I would have loved it, otherwise.

Cute Easter Gifts!

I got the idea for these cute little jars from this post on Pinterest. I think they are perfect for gifts at Easter time and fairly easy too! Let me know if you end up trying them out yourself ^-^

WHAT YOU NEED

-Jars

-Shredded paper

-Easter eggs

-Craft glue

-Little Easter chicks

-Paints

-Ribbon

-Paintbrush

STEP ONE

Paint the lids with the colours of your choice. 

Prepping them beforehand with an undercoat is helpful.

 STEP TWO

 Glue the chicks to the tops of the lids.

A glue that dries clear will look much better.

STEP THREE

Glue the ribbon around the jar.

 STEP FOUR

Fill the jar with shredded paper and top
with lots of Easter eggs!

 FINISHED!

March Favourites

Hello lovelies!

These past few weeks have been quite overwhelming, especially in terms of school work, so I've neglected this blog just a little. Holidays are coming up though so don't worry, I'll be blogging my butt off!!

I didn't really use any new beauty products in March, so my favourites are a little different!

PUBERTY BLUES

I'll be the first to admit that Aussie TV is usually absolute bullocks. So, I was sceptical of Puberty Blues, it seemed quite dull. BUT needless to say, I spoke way too soon. I watched one episode and was hooked. 

BEYONCÉ - SUPERFRUIT

I was speechless after watching this for the first time... It is literally perfection. 
Their voices are out of this world. Everyone needs to hear this. 

REBOOT YOUR LIFE JUICES

JUICES. I love them. But, it is a bit of a hassle to get out the old juicer and make them yourself. That is why I was so thrilled when I found this brand in the veggie section of the supermarket! Their juices are under $4 each and taste incredible. Plus, they are great for your complexion, immunity, cholesterol, energy and blood pressure. There are heaps of different juices, but these three are my favourites. Yum!

Thanks for reading!!
