Fashion Friday- my style from the past summer

Hey Everyone!

Okay so this is my first Fashion Friday and I am kinda short of ideas! Oh no!

I really want to show photos from other websites but I am afraid of copyright etc. So I will have to go with the flow.

As it is the last day of summer, I thought it would be a good idea to go over my favourite outfits from the past summer. Contrary to popular belief, I believe the good old fashion girlie dress were in style this past summer. The dresses in which when you spun around moved with the wind. Almost like a Marilyn Monroe shot, but worse in my case. The colours that were in fashion were the pastel and baby look, for example the pink dress I am wearing below which is from one of my favourite shops, Valley Girl. The dress was $20 and one of the best “girlie” dresses I have ever brought for summer. Mind you this dress rocks when you are dancing the salsa!

Another piece of clothing that completely rocked my world was shorts! I even managed to have the guts to purchase numerous pairs of short shorts! I now have 3 pairs of short shorts. A black pair (see below), a dark denim pair (for night time) and a casual blue denim pair for everyday wear. I will one day take a picture of all 3 types of shorts to give you an idea. That can be my next project for my next Fashion Friday piece. But seriously shorts were a big thing for me this summer and I think for everyone in general. They were definitely a popular piece of clothing this summer.

My favourite outfit for this summer was shorts, a singlet top and my favourite gold sandals (picture coming soon- need the camera). It was really causal but smart at the same time.

My other favourite item for summer was my brand new BIG framed sunglasses! The only reason I brought them was because my Aviator sunglasses broke while I was out shopping and thought, “hey what a great excuse to buy a new pair of sunglasses!”

Aren’t they the coolest sunglasses ever? I love them and wear there everywhere!

So there you have it, my very first fashion Friday! Not as good as I hoped but I haven’t had time to research and go out shopping. I do however have the new copy of Cosmopolitan that has just arrived in the mail and on the front page it says “New Trends!” Hopefully it will give me some ideas for next weeks “Fashion Friday!”

In summary- what was in fashion in the summer that has just passed us:

· Girlie Dresses

· Pastel colours- pink especially

· Short shorts- denim or material

· Big framed sunglasses

Hope you all enjoyed that. Until next time remember- Steal from the best and make it your own!

“Because everything is prettier in pink!”

exciting new blog page...

Hey Guys!!!

I know I have been a bit slack the past few weeks with my blogs, but you know how it is. Work and University all crammed into the one thing. So I came up with this great idea. Instead of putting enormous pressure on myself to write blogs every day or even every second day, I have decided to create special blog days (with cool banners too). So instead of both myself and you logging and getting disappointed because I haven't had the inspiration to write, you can log onto my site on certain days and get surprised. So here are the special days (with their cool banners too)





Things I Love Thursdays is well posted on a Thursday. Gala has really inspired me to really think about what I love, and Thursday is a perfect day to do so.

Fashion Fridays is on a Friday and is basically about fashion and what I love, not necessarily what's in fashion.

Special Feature Sundays is on a Sunday and is basically a long blog about a certain topic or issue. For example skin care products, first dates, relationships etc. This way it takes the pressure off me to write an essay long blog everyday, on top of Uni essays.

And last but not least ( I am still l thinking of added a few more days)

Weird Wednesdays

This day is really about me posting anything that is completely random. Quotes, photos, ideas etc. Anything that really doesn't fit anywhere. Weird Wednesdays might not occur all the time though.

So there you have it. Now the pressure is off both you and I. Well I better get started. Tomorrow is my first Fashion Friday, and I haven't even gone shopping! Eek!

Enjoy

Things I Love Thursday........

Hi Everyone!!!

Welcome to my Things I Love Thursday page (thanks to Gala Darling- check out www.galadarling.com). Gala created a blog she writes every Thursday about the things she loves! Gala encourages participation so I thought I should write my own. So here I go. Things I Love Thursday are:

• My puppy Missy
  

- she is the best thing that has happened to me since sliced bread! Yesterday was the day I realized that I really do love her. I took her to Puppy Preschool and she was so scared. All she did was cuddle up too me and looked at me with those eyes. I knew then that she loves me too.

• The new friendships in my life

- ever since July last year I have made some great new friendships. Over time these friendships have grown and grown. I am so glad to have some special people in my life. As time goes on and I experience new things (a job for example), I find myself creating new and lifelong friends along the way.

• The old friendships in my life

- as well as the new friendships, I must mention my old friendships. I don't have a lot of friends from primary school nor high school. But I believe it is the quality of your friendships rather than the quantity. I am lucky enough to have the greatest friendship with my best friend Karen.

• Lawn Bowls

- yes I know it is an older person's sport, but hopefully if the weather is nice to us, I am going to be playing lawn bowls with people from work tonight. I am so excited.

• Salsa dancing

- if though I am not that good at it, it is still nice to go out and learn something new. I never thought I could learn so easily. The social dancing after class is fantastic too. It's your time to shine!

• The weather at the moment

- i know it is not as good as a sunny day, but don't you just love staying inside, all nice and warm reading a book or watching a movie? I know I do. At the moment I am reading Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice.

• The book Pride & Prejudice

- I reckon it is one of the most beautifulest books I have read in all my life (mind you are not a big reader). The characters are brilliant and the plot of romance is breath taking.

So there you have it, things I love Thursday!

Enjoy

a great relationship

i think when a relationship becomes a 'great' relationship is when you realize that you would never trade them in for someone or something else......i think when you realize that, it is when you truly love them....

interesting quote......

Hey all

I have been pretty slack with my blogs. I just haven't found the inspiration yet. So today i thought i should share with a pretty interesting quote from the movie "The Last Kiss" starring Zach Braff of Scrubs.

The boyfriend of a girl says to the girl's dad

"But I love her."

The father replies with a rather interesting quote

"Love means nothing. It still doesn't mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you say you love. That's what matters."

I thought it was interesting.

Might lead to some inspiration later down the track.

Umbrella...ella...ella

Okay seriously what is with people who use umbrellas on a 34 degree day?

Are guys shy or lazy? The quest for an answer behind the first move...

Are guys lazy or shy? The quest for an answer behind the first move.

What is with men these days? It seems like the old fashion romance has gone out the door along with the fishnet stockings of the 80s. At the rate Generation Y is going, it will be the girls that open the door for the guys.

The other night I was talking to a friend of mine (Bec!) about the queer behaviour we have been noticing among the male population. Gone are the days when a man opens the car door for you; gone are the days when a man pulls a chair back for you to sit down; gone are the days when it is the responsibility of a man to make "the first move".

The entire attitude of the males in our generation have changed dramatically. Bec told me a few stories in which guys would ask the girl to buy HIM a drink.

Last time I checked the "rules of relationships", it was the male that did all the hard work.

Bec continued on by telling me a story in which a male asked her friend if he could buy her a drink. Of course she politely took up his offer. They walked to the bar and waited for their drinks. When the male recieved his drink he causually walked off leaving the girl at the bar alone waiting for her drink. Not only did he leave her waiting he also left her to pay her the BILL.

What the hell is wrong with men these days? Who do they thing we are? The door mat to wipe their shoes on? I think not!


Why don't guys do any of the work anymore when picking up a chick? Do they really expect us to fall at their feet?

Here is our question....

If a guy is interested why do they wait for the girl to make the first move?

Let us begin the quest for an answer behind the first move.

Men nowadays seem to smile and flirt from a distance but don't even bother to even approach us women. Why is that?

Bec told me of her experience at a club,

"I went to a club last night and saw this guy in the distance- he was all smiles so I presumed he was interested. And then he just STAYED WHERE HE WAS THE WHOLE DAMN NIGHT!"

She also noticed that the girls were approaching the guys to dance or make out.

Is the reason for this abnormal behaviour due to the personality trait shyness, or is it shear laziness?



Do guys get more pleasure when the girl wears the pants in the relationship? Is it the confidence that they find a sexy quality?

What is the answer!?

With so many questions in my head i decided to begin my research and where better to go than my "go to man"- Kris.

He first began by stating that there is no problem with not attempting the first move. He continued by saying the main reason a guy doesn't go through with the first move us shyness. A simple personality trait has become dominant within the gene pool of the male population. How can this be? No wonder there is a man drought. Please let it rain!

Apparently according to Kris, it is great when a girl inciates the first move because it means they are more independent. Therefore independence is a desired quality in a female. Another desired trait is 'confidence'. For a girl to approach a guy has to take a lot of guts and self confidence which guys seems to admire.

During my research I also came across the concept of power. A guy loves it when a girl approaches them because it gives them a thrill and a sense of power and control, which is what their ego is forever searching for.

In conclusion, the main reason behind the lack of guys attempting the "first move" is pure shyness. If you really want to impress a guy the best thing to do is to shallow your butterflies and ask him to dance because the power and control it gives them is exactly what they are looking for. Bloody ego driven males.

Gone are the days of the fairy tales and happy endings; gone are the days of Prince Charming coming to rescue us. It seems nowadays us women have to physically climb down the tower to rescue a shy Prince Charming who is too nervous to battle the dragon to win our heart!

Skin Care Products- Lush

Lush Products

Hey all,

As i drink my green tea (with honey) and flip through magazines i thought i should tell you about a great new product line i discovered thanks to Gala's

website www.galadarling.com


The company is called Lush and it specializes in skin care products.

I have had many problems with my skin and the make up i packed on didnt really help. i have tried everything from the supermarket brands, dermalogical, soap

and water, nothing, medication and even the best acne product Proactiv. And can you believe it- nothing worked.

It got to the point where i was so annoyed. My face was red and sore. It was so frustrating and wasn't good for my self esteem.

I was still on Dermalogical (so expensive) when i discovered Lush. It was on one of my favourite websites (galadarling.com) so i decided to give it a go. i

had nothing to lose. i have used every other product so another one can't hurt.

i went to the shop in the city (if ya want the address email me) and asked the girl there what the best product would be. she recommended a product that

looks exactly like soap but isn't. she also gave me a sample of a face mask to use.

i went home and tried the product. it made my skin feel so soft and the redness slowly disappeared. the worst part about it was the dryness so my moisturizer

was getting a good workout.

it has been less than a week and i can already see a big improvement. the spots are still there but it is the redness that is disappearing before my eyes. my

face is probably 70- 80% better than it was last week.

Lush products are fresh handmade cosmetics which is why some of their skin care products need to be put in the fridge. They make their effective products out

of fresh fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics without animal ingredients. Bascially they are like organic products.


If you want more information head to their website

www.lush.com.au

you can even view their wide catalogue.

They sell everything including

Cleansers
Face Masks
Moisturisers
Toners
Shaving Creams
Hand and Body products
Shower Gels, Jellies (yes jellies)
Soaps
Shampoo
Body Butters
Gifts
Lip Balms
and even Deodorants

The amazing thing about Lush is that some of their products are sold by the gram. For example some products cost $15 for 100 grams. So don't be mislead by

their prices as it comes in certain sizes.
The gifts are so beautiful and include things like lip blams and bath bombs. The are great ideas for birthdays or valentine's day (its tomorrow guys!). The

cheapest gifts are $10 and the most expensive is $300. There is a wide variety and you won't be stuck for ideas.



The products i purchased from Lush are:


Fresh Farmacy- it is a cleanser for troublesome skin. It calms the skin down and includes calamine, chamomile, lavender oil, tea tree and rose. It is perfect

for skin prone to acne. when you buy it, it is literally in the shape of soap.


Cosmetic Warrior- this is an anti- bacterial face mask to combat ance. Don't be turned off by the fact it's main ingrediant is garlic. It also has green

grapes and kaolin to help your skin.



I seriously recommend Lush products if you have troublesome skin or if you are looking for different skin care products.

The Benefits Of Having A Puppy

Hey all.

I thought i should write a blog about the benefits of buying a puppy. As you all know by now i brought myself a new little friend, Missy. It was only until today that i realized the benefits of having a puppy in your life. I know there are a number of downfalls like the vet bill i received only the other day, but it seems like the positives are outweighing the negatives.

I enjoy the company on a lonely day, the kisses i recieve in the morning, the big smile when i cuddle her, and the cries when i leave the room. It is sometimes nice to have a shadow following you other than your own. When you look at the photo above how can you say that she is a burden on your life? She is beautiful and brings a smile to everyone's faces. And i reckon bringing a smile to someone's face is the biggest benefit of having a puppy.

A Msg for Valentine's Day xxoo

Valentine's Day

Yes it is that time of the year again, Valentine's Day.

There are people like myself (single) who dread this day of the year, and there are the other people (in couples) that lap up every minute.

February the 14th is all about sharing your love with the person you desire. It is full of flowers, chocolates and red love hearts. It is also a day of romantic picnics, lots of kisses and 'I love you's'.

Sounds like a magical day doesn't it? It may be for you if you are in couple, but what about those poor single people out there like myself? It can seen as a day when we hide inside our houses and do not even think of adventuring out.

If we do have the courage to walk outside the front door we are met by the 'poor you' looks from people walking hand in hand, which is why I have decided to celebrated my 'singleness' this Valentine's Day.

I am going to celebrate the greatest time of my life- being single. Because when you look at it- if i marry at the age of 28, i will be attached for a lot longer than i have been single. So what's the point of crying on Valentine's Day because i am single? It is the best time of your life, why not celebrate it?

Apart from working on Valentine's Day, i am going to find time for myself. Sit back with a good book or dvd, have a glass or two of vodka and lemonade and think about how fabulous life is being my own woman. Who needs a man to complete you.

If vodka and lemonade and a book doesn't tickle your fancy, do something that you really enjoy and love.

Get a massage

Get pampered- hair coloured, nails done

Play music- write songs

Have a girl's only party- face masks and chick flicks

For the boys- organize a Pub Crawl and make it a yearly event

Still crying about not having someone on V Day? You know love comes in more forms than just from a person of the opposite sex. Buy your best friend or Mum a bunch of flowers and tell them how much you love them. Or take them out for lunch and spend the day chatting about past times.

Just remember- you are not the only 'lonely and single' person in the world alive on Valentine's Day. Spend it with someone else who is in the same boat as you.

Another idea is to host a 'Mingle with Singles' night at your place. Host a dinner party or just a plain party and invite all your single friends. Make sure that they bring a guest- preferably a single male to get the party started. It is a great way to meet new people and let love bloom.

I would host my own party but i have too work all day and all night. It seems i am more in love with my work than anything else.

Valentine's Day is all about expressing love to each other, so do yourself and the world a favour and let your love shine.


A message for all you singles out there, don't panic about being lonely on Valentine's Day- embrace it!


And remember if someone loves you, they should remind you that they do every single day of the year- not just on the 14th of February.


Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Much Love

The Green Eyed Monster- Jealousy

Jealousy- Everyone feels it so what is it?

Everyone in their lifetime has had the feeling of jealousy. It is an emotion or feeling that is looked down upon and it is quite frustrating and painful when felt. You know you are feeling jealously so you try to rid it; however it is a lot harder than you thought and you continue feeling it. It makes you angry at yourself for feeling such a destructive emotion and depressed at the same time.

According to good old Wikipedia (my life is based on its knowledge), jealousy is a feeling of protective resentment towards one who threatens a relationship or value. It also refers to the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that occur when a person believes a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival.

Now that we have a simple definition, what about an example? The best example I can think of is the movie "My Best Friend's Wedding". It is a story about a woman who's best friend (a male) is getting married to a lovely 20 year old girl. It was at this time she realises that she too is in love with him. She tries everything to break up their wedding and win him back. All throughout the movie she feels a sense of jealousy and does the craziest actions in order to win the man of her dreams. A quote from the movie comes to my mind "I'm a busy girl. I've got 4 days to break up a wedding and steal the bride's fella".

The concept of jealousy is very popular in movies as everyone in the world can relate to it. But it doesn’t stop at relationships. Jealousy can occur anywhere. However there is a big difference between jealousy and envy. Jealousy is all about loss whereas envy is about gain.

Another thing about jealousy is that it is NOT love. Stop there if you even thought of it as love. It is far from love, it is just an emotion of wanting someone all to yourself. Wanting someone just because you might lose them is not love.

So what is it that makes us feel this jealousy?

The answer is simple:

INSECURITY.

It is the person’s belief that their partner, lover or love interest is not thinking of them at every minute of the day, and then they are not interested in him/ her or not in love with them like they are.

Some people struggle so much with the feeling of jealousy that they either;

a) work harder to make the relationship better, or

b) completely destroy the relationship with their anger and possessiveness

It is the point when you are destroying the relationship that makes the feeling of jealousy regretful and painful.

So if you are feeling the emotion of jealousy at anytime remember these steps to overcome it:

The most important thing to do is to first admit your feeling of jealousy. The second thing to do is to attempt to overcome them.

Communication is the key to overcoming jealousy. Communicate your feelings is the only way you are able to overcome them.

Don’t let an emotion like jealousy control your life and your relationships.

I will leave you now with a quote on jealousy

“Jealousy comes about because of the insecurity of the jealous person”

Quote of the day- best quote ever!

At the moment I am watching 'My Best Friends Wedding" mainly because i was in the mood to watch a movie! I went to the dvd shop up the road and found it for $10. When i got home i was like "dammit I wanted 'How to lose a guy in ten days' as well. Not to worry I can go tomorrow.

The quote of the day is actually from the movie "My Best Friend's Wedding"

"I'm a busy girl. I've got four days to break up a wedding and steal the bride's fella."

Can it get any better than that. Brilliant.

Hey all! Just a little update on my new puppy Missy. As you all would have heard by now I have a new member to the family. Her name is Missy and she is a Cavalier King Charles (yes the same breed of dog Charlotte York has in the hit T.V show Sex and the City).

She has settled really well into our family and everyone loves her- apart from the cat. The cat (Tigger) really showed Missy who was boss amongst the pets and Missy is so afraid now.

Apart from that everything is going really well. Her first night living with us was a great success- meaning there was no crying, however now that she is staying outside with the other dog (Sheba- ten year old Labrador) she is feeling a bit of separation anxiety.

Missy had accomplished many adventures in her short little life. She had her very first bath a few weeks ago and went for her very first 'big' walk with the rest of the family. Today she had another huge adventure- her first trip to the vet for an injection. I don't know who was more scared, Missy or me! We drove all the way to the vet and nervously waited in the waiting room. Soon enough it was our turn.

I placed Missy up onto the cold bench in the vet's office. Within 5 seconds the injection was over and done with- I couldn't bare the thought of looking. But Missy was great. She cried a bit afterwards but after a few cuddles she was fine.

Now we are at home and all is good- apart from the cat just hissing at her. Sheba and Missy are resting underneath my feet and enjoying the sun.

Stay tuned for more updates on my little puppy Missy.

Salsa Dancing Rules Okay!

Hey all,

I am so exhausted right now. I just came home 30 minutes ago from my first ever Salsa dancing class. A few friends from work are really into dancing, especially salsa. Today they invited me to come and have a beginners lesson. I am not the type of person to experience new things, learn new things and jump out of my comfort zone, but today I thought, "why not!"

The girls picked me up at 8pm and we made our way to the Salsa place. I thought it would be like a hall with heaps of people. Instead it was just a normal pub with a TAB and pokies. Upstairs they had a few rooms in which the dancing classes were held. My new friend paid for me and gave me my very own name badge. I went upstairs and introduced myself to the teacher who was very friendly. The start of the class concentrated on the basic steps to Salsa. I was very surprised I had picked up the dance moves so quickly. I am usually hopeless with my feet.

As the night went on we continued with the basic steps but added in advanced steps along the way. A bit of turning and spinning. We also had to change partners which was so scary. I was dancing with complete randoms! I freaked out. After 15 minutes or so you completely forget who you are dancing with because you are too busy watching your feet and listening to the music.

After over an hour the class had finished. It was now time to venture downstairs to the main dance area to show off your newly learnt dance moves. I was amazed with how well some of these people danced. Absolutly amazing.

I ended the night with a glass of my favourite drink- vodka and lemonade before heading off home.

I must say it was a very interesting and fun night. I highly reccommend going out and learning any type of dance: salsa, tap, jazz etc. It is truly an experience and for only $12 a lesson it is really worth it.

If you want any information about where abouts to do these classes- email me.

Cheers,

Miss Beckz

You + Me + XYZ= Love (the formula to love)

YOU + ME + XYZ= LOVE

It seems like science has given us the answers to everything. Everything from x + y= to the workings of a car. But have they gone too far? I was reading the

Herald Sun on Sunday afternoon and came across an interesting article. The title was:

'Science of why we fall in love'

Immediately I was interested partly because i am so intrigued in the concept of love and relationships, so I continued reading.

Researchers have revealed the secret (well it can't be much of a secret because they are telling the world) to the perfect match.

Appartently there is more to love and relationships than the single factor of 'chemistry'.

These scientists have come up with a "scientific" formula for romance. They studied 700 Australian couples and created the '29 key dimensions' to a

successful relationship, thus love. For a relationship to be successful the potential couple must be matched on the '29 key dimensions'.

So what are these '29 key dimensions' I hear you screaming at me. Well they are:


Core Traits:

Emotional Temperament

1. self- awareness
2. emotional type
3. decisiveness


4. level of romance

Social Type

5. personality
6. kindness
7. dominance
8. socialablity
9. autonomy
10. adaptability

Cognitive Mode

11. intellect (IQ)
12. Curiosity
13. Humour
14. Artisitic creativity

Physicality

15. energy levels
16. sexual passion, vitality, and self confidence
17. work ethic
18. appearance

Vital Attributes:

Relationship skills:

19. talking
20. emotional control
21. resolving arguments

Values and beliefs

22. spirituality
23. family goals
24. traditionalism
25. ambition
26. altruism

Key experiences

27. family background
28. family status
29. education

So there you have it. The 29 key dimensions. I bet you were thinking of a certain person and ticking off each box, I know I was.

The article continues on about how similarites are so important in a long term relationship. Having a similair personality gives you a better chance of

understanding each other emotionally.

The cruial factor in a relationship is emotional reactivity (how a person reponds to emotion) and socialing habits.

Thats all well and good. But what about opposites. Do opposites really attract?

Well according to science they don't. "Opposites attract but then they attack".

There goes all my hope in the world of ever finding a partner. I can't bare the thought of dating someone exactly like me. My plan B was finding someone

completely opposite me to share my life with. All though the thought of dating someone like me is a comforting suggestion. I am a very complex and emotional

person.

So there you have it. Although there is no formula written like x + y = love, there is however the very important 29 key elements to ensure compatibility. It

is up to us now to bring the checklist along with us when we hit the town. Each individual we meet we simply tick off each of the 29 elements. Doesn't sound

to hard now does it?

It is nice to think that there could possibly be a theory to love, but are the 29 elements the only factors to love? I think not. I believe two individual's

who have two different backgrounds and emotional temperament etc can still have a long successful relationship. It may require a lot more effort in the

relationship but then love doesn't come easy. What do you think?

I think the most important things in a relationship are:

* honesty
* being able to click with the individual
* friends first
* communication- you know what they are thinking and feeling
* trust
* being comfortable

What do you think are the most important things in a relationship?

Do you believe that there is a theory to love?

Facts taken from The Herald Sun dated: February 3rd 2008

over protective parents

i was talking to some of my work mates today about overprotective parents.

this next fact is going to shock a lot of you (karen lol).

"They Don't Stop Being Overprotective"

my work mates are between the age of 25- 30 and they shared some funny stories about their parents. including:

phone calls at 2am "where are you"

phone calls at 7am "where are you?"- "im at my boyfriend house's (mind you these girls are between 25 - 30 years old) "YOUR BOYFRIENDS HOUSE!!!!??"

calling the police after you have been missing for less than 12 hours- yes i am serious- calling the police!!!

the girls mum called the police when she didn't come home all day. the girl went to work at 6am. after work she went out to lunch then shopping. when she arrived home at 6pm...she heard her mum say "its ok officer she just got home. thank you very much".

she screamed at her mum "you called the police!!!!!!"

they now have this rule "no calling the police unless i am missing for more than 12 hours!

there were many more stories but i cant remember them at the point of time.

but the main point is....they don't stop being over protective when you reach the age of 21.....

i still have a lot of years (in fact decades) ahead of the early morning phone calls of "where are you??"

karen- we cant continue giving the same excuse of "we are at pancake parlour (at 2 am in the morning). but daddy it is 24 hours" when we hit the age of 25 years plus!!!!

what a scary thought
