this stuff is AMAZING! there is no other words for it basically.
ok so i could possibly have the driest skin on the face of the earth and when i miss a day my legs already look like they are going to crack open or flake away...this was until i used bio-oil!
my mum got me hooked on this stuff around winter time when my skin was getting even dryer than i thought was humanly possible and i'm obsessed!
i use it every day after my shower(s) mainly on my legs and arms, i also like to put it around my eyes when i go to sleep (i have really bad hayfever so the constant rubbing my eyes is not very good for them) and when i wake up my face is fresh and feels great!
i don't think i could ever stop raving about this stuff because it is literally giving your skin a drink!
love it love it love it love it love it.
my second 60ml bottle is on it's last legs and i am definitely going to get the bigger one next time, if only it came in 1L bottles!

hair detox
right now my hair is the longest it has ever been, with it falling to around my waist. so i have had to take extra care of it seeing as i have not had a hair cut in long over a year now.
during winter and spring i wanted to see what difference a "hair detox" would make to my hair and whether styling etc was really bad for it...well, it is.
i have not dyed my hair since around june and have minimalised my styling of it (curling/straightening) to only when i am going out and not for everyday. i have also never blow dried my hair as it always looks really dry and brittle afterwards.
this was fantastic! my hair is currently at it's longest and probably it's healthiest. i have no split ends what so ever and my hair seems stronger and shinier than it usually is.
so even though i have been walking through life for the past few months with regrowth and half wavy half straight hair, it has paid off.
now when i return to my hairdresser, who i have dearly missed over the past 5 months, i will not have to have a whole heap of hair cut off and maybe "just a trim" will actually be just a trim this time!
i don't want to have my hair cut at all because it is in such healthy condition but it has been growing at different rates so it does look a little bit thin towards the ends :(
i have booked a colour and TRIM in for 1st december and i'm waiting in anticipation for my hairdresser's reaction to my ever growing hair and it's condition!

something that really annoys me
ok so early this year i went to mecca and bought nars orgasm blush and the woman conned me into buy an $83 blush brush from prescriptives...it is a really nice brush and it works really well...i don't use it that often so i have only washed it once and the other day i go to use it ANDDDDDDDDD it fell out of the handle...this really annoys me because you can get any brand of brush that will end up giving you a similar result and i finally get a good quality, expensive brush and it falls apart.
i am so annoyed...

it's the most wonderful time of the year
ok so right this minute there are 43 days 7 hours and 35 minutes until christmas day!
it is officially my favourite time of the year because i have the three best times of year in 1 week! (christmas, my birthday, nye)
so there is this shop around the corner from my house called christmas presence and it's only ever open in november, december and january. last year i think i spent about a million dollars in this shop on decorations, wrapping paper, ribbon, glitter, presents and just stuff i don't really need but makes my house look so christmassy!
so i went there this afternoon and it is just as good as i remember! there are free lollipops and candy canes and everything is gold, silver, green, red and just so colourful and great! i spent over an hour in this shop which isn't even huge but is crammed full of everything you could ever need to decorate anything around christmas time!
i eventually left spending just over $30 with a few assorted things (christmas essentials as i would call them) i got...
silver wrapping paper
gold wrapping paper
gold curling ribbon
silver curling ribbon
pearl curling ribbon
silver glitter stars
red glitter stars
silver and blue foil gift tags
gold 'noel' decoration
and a set of make your own metallic paper chains!
i am so excited to use all this stuff for when i wrap presents and decorate my house. my whole family is coming to my house for christmas lunch so there should be at least 20 of us all together to have fun!
so this is just my first purchase at christmas presence for christmas 2010 and i am sure i am going to buy so much more because christmas is so much fun for everyone and it is definitely my favourite time of year! (i have already started humming carols)

my favourites include:

toddlers and tiaras
my big fat gypsy wedding
britain's youngest brides

oh and cake boss but i think that's on arena?
i am in love with these shows and if i don't stop watching them instead of studying, then i will definitely need to repeat year 12 next year haha.

father daughter dinner dance...
ok so we had this father daughter dinner dance a little while ago. basically if you are a year 12 you and your dad (and an "adopted daughter" in our case) go to a dinner dance, hence the name, and it's just a really fun night with nice food and dancing etc.
so i have a few photos of me and my dad!...and my friend farrah who came as dad's "adopted daughter" because her dad couldn't come.
they also had this really cool photobooth machine so dad and i were in the line for like half the night, dressing up as things and taking photos AND then you got to keep the strip for free! so cool!
definitely was one of the best nights of year 12...

another order!
so i have come to a realisation that i have an issue with ordering mac online...yes, i have made another order!
this one was more of a necessity than me wanting more makeup really.
so i ordered:
select sheer/pressed powder in NW20 (i know i am as pale as a ghost!)
studio fix fluid spf 15 foundation in NW20
espresso eyeshadow
russian red lipstick
i ordered the eyeshadow and the lipstick because i have a performance season coming up and i am in desperate need of a new deep red and a new brown eyeshadow :)
the other two is just because i wanted it really but i am just saying "my foundation is running out"...really? 1/3 left...
so when it arrives, which will hopefully be next thursday or friday i shall express my thoughts on all..
OH BY THE WAY! i am still obsessed with the venemous villains mineralize eyeshadow duos i bought! i really love wearing them as a liner on top with a really thin line of liquid liner just above the lashes...it makes my eyes really pop i think :)
so now i must go and repay my mother for the purchase of these new things
P.S. MAC HAS FREE SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA AT THE MOMENT FOR PURCHASES OF $150 AND OVER!!! GO GO GO!
