My Gasoline Rainbow

http://www.inmotionfitness.com.au/ For those of you that read my blog, you'll be aware of the difficulties I experienced surrounding my first attempt at my body make over challenge. For those of you that are new to My Gasoline Rainbow.... there's no need to go into the details, needless to say that i'm very excited to announce that I now have a new Personal Trainer in the name of Brendan Junge from In Motion Health + Fitness. Brendan - my second chance Brendan contacted me after a mutual friend, also a PT who works for him, mentioned my situation. After a general introduction and an interest in taking on the role of my PT we agreed to meet up. His persistence was impressive, regular contact to check my availability to co-ordinate a time to meet that was convenient with me. However with the chaos of Gold Coast Fashion Week and my broken toe we held off and had our first meeting this Monday just gone. To add even more impression and flexibility Brendan came up to ...

Rainbow Love I am 100% a bikini girl. What is at the top of my Christmas wish list every year? BIKINIS please Santa!! What is the best birthday gift I have received? BIKINIS thanks Dad! Needless to say when I discovered I would be reviewing a hot little bikini from Hawaiian label Boom Boom Bikinis I was over the moon and bouncing around the office like the little bikini bandit I am. Christina Henline, one half of the beautiful Boom Boom team has recently relocated to Australia and contacted My Gasoline Rainbow about doing a review. After a chat about the blog and her label, Christina was kind enough to send me the new “Chi Chi” bikini in rainbow. With the package practically ripped out of the postman’s hands, I raced home to try on the hot little number… First off, the fit was AMAZING- having been convinced by Christina to try out a size small, the candy coloured bikini fit like a glove, and was firm and comfortable without cutting in or causing any unnatu...

My fabulous assistant Akahsha found this picture of Ciara and had to send it to me - fellow balayage babe. Love the shirt dress, love the boots. Great spotting Kash x

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits - Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence ...

This weekend, I decided to make my maiden voyage down to Masters Home Improvement Nerang to get some inspiration for my new Showroom. A friend of mine told me the day before that "I would love it and wouldn't want to leave"... well turns out, he was right!   From the minute I walked in to the pristine air conditioned warehouse I was greeted by friendly staff and lots of smiles. I instantly made a beeline for McDonalds - Yes, that's right, there is a maccas in the store, grabbed a drink and headed down one end of the store to start the adventure. Needless to say I was pretty excited! There is obviously all the tradie and standard home improvement stuff there, but the difference between Masters and their "competitor" is the addition of home decor which is where the fun begins.... Just a sample of the canvases available - and there are 3 walls of these Cool wall art available like these two pieces - Dress $17.97 and Deer Head $49.97 So man...

My monster is out wild and strong today....

All "SAXed" up It's a lazy Saturday afternoon so no better time than to doll myself up by giving all the fabulous new SAX Cosmetics products I received a try, after the last review my fabulous assistant Akahsha did on the SAX Cosmetic lip gloss . First up was the SAX Nail Life nail polish, with 18 colours to choose from I received No.50 and No. 59 - a gorgeous red and mushroom colour (much like the Chanel). Coming in a 12ml clear bottle with a diamante stone (loving the bling) I went for the red... I only applied one coat and it applied easily, dried super quick which was great. It's now Monday evening as I write this and there has been no chipping or flaking, stoked! RRP $8.95   Having spent hours and hundreds of dollars with eye brow "specialists" as well as buying the worlds best eye brow kits, only to find they didn't really do much, I asked to test out the the SAX Brow Styler which they claim "is a specially formulated pencil to c...

www.cicconecosmetics.com Far from being a "girly girl" I couldn't help but be impressed when I opened up the express post bag from the Ciccone Cosmetics PR girls to find these cute little lipsticks... Shimmering pink cases with Ciccone encrusted in diamonte stones on them - super cute! With 8 shades in total from nudes to deep reds and I had 3 completely different shades to sample. With lots of natural ingredients like beeswax, jojoba seed oil, evening primrose oil and castor seed oil included I was curious as to how they would make my lips feel... First up was " Rhea " which was a nude shade and it glided on incredibly smoothly, smelt super yummy (which probably wasn't a good thing, as I kept licking it and rubbing my lips together to stimulate the smell - sooo good).  Ciccone Lipstick - Rhea Next up was " Oceanus " which was more of a coral colour, again smelt really good and the colour was quite vibrant. This one probably suited m...

Mark "Hammer Dixon & Mark "Chopper" Read A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting and enjoying the company of Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read when he came to the Runaway Bay Tavern with his bodyguard and best mate Mark "Hammer" Dixon for their show Chopper & Hammer. Having met Hammer a few weeks earlier I knew I had absolutely nothing to be worried about but I'm not ashamed to admit that the thought of meeting the notorious criminal had left me with a few butterflies in my stomach. I'd seen the movie, i'd read his books, everyone in the country knows MARK BRANDON CHOPPER READ, there's even a comedian who makes a living pretending to be him.... But when I walked into the back room and was introduced to him, I was pleasantly surprised to be welcomed by a total gentleman who stood to his feet gave me a kiss on the cheek and hug. Whilst waiting for the Coast Confidential for an interview we chatted about their upcoming docu...
