MY OUTDOOR HAVEN

It's amazing what $100, some up-cycling and creative minds can do. When I moved into my new place, I wanted to create a relaxing, bohemian chillout area on my balcony, but with 12m of it, wasn't sure where to start. So with the help of my amazing friend Robbie who has the gift of home styling, we started with some key pieces that I already had:

  • Dressing Room Screen
  • Coffee Table
  • Shelving System
  • Bird Cage (pulled from a dumpster and resprayed)
  • Decor items (mostly sourced from garage sales)
The rug, ottomans, fencing (Bunnings) and plant were all purchased second hand and added to create this gorgeous outdoor haven that is absolute Heaven xx

    What happens when a big storm, gust of wind, rain or hail come along? Will they get blown away, soaked, battered, knocked over? I always wonder about balconies in storms.

GOODBYE CHARLOTTE DAWSON

Image
It’s been a rough weekend. I had a total meltdown on Friday night after a build up of stresses got the better of me. After taking my frustrations out on my partner, I ran off taking the keys to the car and ended up in a park down the road in the dark by myself sitting on a swing in a completely hysterical state just crying. Classic Bipolar episode, luckily I was lucid enough to tell my partner where I was so he could walk to where I was, as I was in no state to drive. I’ve been stressed for weeks and it just got too much, a complete emotional overload. I was stressed about dealings with a creative agency I’d been trying to work with to get my blog to where I want it to be within my small budget. I was stressed about issues with my parents and their separation and the toll it was taking on my relationship with my mum. I was stressed about the house and cleaning.  I’d been stressed about my health and my weight.  I’d been stressed about my partner and his work

Body Makeover... REJECTED by my trainer

It is with much surprise, sadness and contemplation that I write this blog post... I don't live in a world of fairy floss and unicorns but I have to say that my life is fairly blessed.  I laugh every day, I love my home and my beautiful cat and best mate Neo. I have a wonderful and talented assistant who is just as passionate about my business as I am and makes life so much easier. My family is amazing and I have some wonderful friends. I get to review beauty products, restaurants and bars, interview celebrities and do cool activities like feed tigers and flying trapeze.  I love what I do and I love my life, so at the beginning of the year when I made the decision to lose the excess weight I'd gained as a result of the medication I take due to a health condition I have (and will continue to have to take for the rest of my life) it was a big step. I'd already lost a decent amount on my  own, I'd quit smoking on my own - which is a massive feat in itself, so the nex
