Well I had been diagnosed with Depression in 2006 and in 2007 due to medication problems I ended up with extreme anxiety.
I have good days and bad days, the bad days are the ones where I can't pull myself together. I snap at everyone,and really don't mean too and can't help it half the time.
With my anxiety I find it hard to say yes to a lot of things,I too often think of the negatives in things rather then the positive.

I have become my own worst nightmare. I can't communicate with people, I no longer have friends. I'm a loner. I won't go out to parties, or clubbing. I find this sad as I'm 21 and am wasting my life in some ways. I do't want to have regrets, well anymore then I have already.

There are so many things in my life I would love to do.
*Start dancing again
*Start singing lessons again
*Look into Drama - something I have always wanted to do
*Stop hiding myself away and get real friends
*Start playing my cello again

I have cut myself off from everything.I watch a lot of movies. I find this helps me escape my "problems".

After seeing a preview for the Jim Carey movie "Yes Man" I have decided to start having a more positive outlook on my life and to get up and start doind these things I want to do.
Starting with getting back into shape!!!


Well I have needed a new mascara for a while and bought the L'oreal double Extension Beauty Tubes Mascara. I have used it twice now and do not like it at all.

I find my lashes left clumpy, stuck together and as hard as straw. I don't think they look nice at all.

I think this is L'oreals version of the Kiss Me/ Blinc Mascara. I haven't tried them yet but am definately looking for a good mascara.

I also prefer those silicone/rubber mascara wands to the brushes anyday.

One of the first problems I have with this mascara is that you apply a white undercoat before the black. When applying the black you have to make sure you apply enough mascara to cover the white, or it looks extremely strange. By doing this I find I have giant clumps on my eyelashes and they stick together leaving me with a group of four!!!

I find no mascara better then this.

I would give this mascara a 2/10.

Sorry didn't like it at all.


Just wishing everyone a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Hope 2009 is a better year for everyone and I can start fulfilling my dreams!



Well I have now seen the movie twice and am going for a third time in a couple of days.

I had never heard of Twilight before,which shocked me as I am a bit of a Vampire fan.

I saw the movie the first time with my mum, and came home wanting the books. I received the books from my parents for christmas and am halfway through the first one.

The second time I took my grandma with me to see the movie,after reading part of the book.

The third time I am taking my younger brother with me to see it.

I have become obsessed with Twilight. I can't sit still enough to read it, I see the characters as I read the book.

I think I have Twilightess!!!!
Oh and how beautiful does Robert Pattinson look?

Well I have now placedmy third order with vistaprint and have nothing but good things to say about them.
Today I ordered things for my small business and it came to a total of $290 but I only paid $60. If you select VistaPrints free offers all you have to pay for is postage. I think it is shipped by air. You have the choice of standard postage which may take 21 days, Regular postage which may take 14 days and quick postage which may take 9 days. The quicker the postage the more you pay, but not that much.

LOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDD IIIIIITTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!



Today I went to see Australia with my mum and grandmother. I loved it! When walking in and waiting I remembered all the reviews poo pooing it, and was extremely worried, but I loved almost every second of it. The bits I didn't like were only because they were sad =(

As someone who hasn't travelled except to Queensland it really opened my eyes to just how beautiful this country is, and what we take for granted.



Thank you Baz.

Well, after being almost unemployed for a while I bit the bullet a couple of days ago and decided to become a Tupperware Demonstrator.

I had a casual job, but that only gave me 3 hours once a fortnight if not longer apart. Not really enough for me, I am a spender!!!

I'm very excited and hopefully everything will go well.

I have an announcement party on the 13th December and I have 3 parties booked for January.

That is all thats really been happening for me lately.

Will probably update after the party....


Wish me luck!!!

Oh how I have fallen in love with this product!!!!
I have sensitive skin, as mentioned before, but am also lucky enough to get dermatitus on my hands.
On Friday my right hand was terrible, flakey and itchy, driving me insane. I put the hand cream on twice a day, and today (Sunday) it is almost gone.
I wish I took pictures to post.

I can not rave enough about this and to top it off it was only around $15!!!!

Well after just over a week of using Clinique I would definately reccomend. My skin hasn't reacted at all - and thats washing, toning and moisturising twice a day.
The moisturiser I received was the wrong one for my skin. So I haven't used it since, but will be buying the right skin combination moisturiser soon. I have used my cousins moisturiser and love it!!
My skin is soft and more even toned and I believe clearer aswell.

At lot of people say they cant afford Clinique, but I was actually quite surprised at the price. It ends up being around $30 a product, $50-60 for the large quantities.

if you a looking for a skin cleaning sytem I definately reccomend trying clinique!!!!

One of the ladies on a forum I frequent posted this recipe.
I can't wait to try it.
Why is it that whenever you try to eat healthy or diet someone posts a recipe like this ??? =D

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons plain flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug


Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.




Well I have been using Dermalogica for a year. I have had problems finding a cleanser to suit my skin,which suprised me. My favourite product from Dermalogica is the Daily Micro Foliant. I use it 2-3 times a week and moisturise afterwards.




So I decided after my cousins several storied reccomending Clinique to try some. It is cheaper then Dermalogica, but then again Dermalogica nearly lasts a year in the larger bottles. But I bought the 3 step program - Face wash, toner and moisturiser, Lip Treatment, Spot Treatment and got a few samples from the lovely girl at Myers.




I love the face wash and toner,but at the moment am not fussed on the moisturiser I find it to oily for my skin and leaves me looking like a shiny wax doll.




The spot treatment works a treat, helping to dry out those unwanted spots, and the Lip Gloss/treatment is great aswell. I think it really helps my dry lips.
So far my skin has not reacted at all to Clinique - touchwood! The cleanser I give an 8/10, The Toner I give a 9/10 and the moisturiser a 4/10 - at the moment.
The spot treatment a 9/10 and the lip tratment and 8/10.
If you have the money to spend I definately reccomend trying Clinique.

A few days ago I put in to have a psychic give me a reading and got the results today. I am extremely surprised at how accurate most of the information was. Some of it is in the future and I can't relate to yet.

Anyway only a quick little post from me today :)

This has to be one of my favourite products. A light weight moisturiser that absorbs fairly quickly. There are 2 sorts available 1. Sensitive Skin and 2. Normal and Combination Skin. I use the normal and combination moisturiser. I find that it leaves my skin soft and feeling moisturised, unlike some that I find just cake on, and it has a lovely light rose fragrance. Unfortunately I'm finding it harder and harder to find, which is typical, find a product you like and it disappears. I pay $15.99 a bottle and think it's worth every cent.


I'm very fussy with my make up, partially due to my sensitive skin. I don't wear foundation to often but always like to wear mascara. I don't wear waterproof mascara as I have always been told it damages your eyelashes and I never believe product packaging. I always buy and try, I find this is the best and only way to figure out what is best, if I don't like it I give it to my mum, who happily takes them. I'm always after a mascara that doesn't clump, and washes off easily. Max Factor Masterpiece Max is one of my favourites. I use the black mascara and absolutely love it. I find it doesn't clump unless you use it more then 3 times in a row and washes the majority off with just water, completely off with make up remover and I don't need to scrub at my face to do so.

I've had my mascara since Feburary - yes I know that must be one of the make up sins, but it still applys wonderfully.

I definately reccomend trying Masterpiece Max

Christmas is only 9 weeks and 6 days away :O :O
I have already started to buy christmas presents and wrapping paper. I can't help myself I love christmas!!!!
Well not that anyone reads my blog other then myself, but, I had an idea for one christmas present I couldn't wrap and thought I would post it here.
I was looking at this present trying to figure out how the hell I was going to wrap it. At the same time I saw an empty shoe box amd the idea struck me like a bag of apples. I decided to wrap the shoe box and its lid in christmas paper,placed the item inside and bob's your uncle I have a nicely wrapped christmas present.....in October!!!

Well thats all for now.

YAY!!!!! It only took 2 days for my order to arrive from Victoria!! Unfortunately when I placed my first order I forgot to buy cellogen and needed to place a second order,well any excuse to buy more. The sadest part is I cant start til I have the cellogen and as I am an inpaitient person the waiting is terrible. Not all the items I've ordered are in stock either so it means the wait will be even longer. =(
On another note I am halfway through Uni holidays. It always goes so quick!
It's not long til christmas either and I can't wait. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! I mean the presents are ok but for me it's the spirit and the tree and buying presents for others. I enjoy it all so much.
Well off to do some work. =)

On the weekend I visited Boyfriends family. After speaking to his sister, I found out she is learning how to make sugar flowers and offered to show me how to make some. I enjoyed it that much that I am now looking into it myself. I have found a website and bought some basic items to make a birthday cake for my grandma. I still have about a month to go before her birthday so I can get some practise in before then. But hopefully things go well. =)

Well today I bought Revlon Beyond Natural Foundation in Light 210.

The claim is the foundation starts out white and as you blend it in, it will transform to match your exact skin tone.

Now this is my opinion so I can't say it's 100% accurate but in squeezing out some foundation I noticed little dark dots-microbeads. These beads are what contain the coulour so blending them bursts the microbeads and releases the colour.

Does it match your skin tone perfectly? No not completely, but I must say it is almost perfect.I have olive undertones, but am pale at the moment as we are just coming out of winter. I used 210 light on my skin, and as said before it is almost a perfect match.

As for coverage it is not the best. Once on I found the foundation light weight and matte. After almost 5 hours I needed to add a little powder to control the shine. I have oily,combination skin so this would be why.If you are after a light weight,light coverage foundation just to even out your skintone I would definately reccomend this. I paid $29.95 and will be using again.

On a slightly different note I have extremely sensitive skin, not to the elements outside, but chemicals in products. I have had this foundation on all day and have not reacted at all. I say this just in case there are others out there like me and are not sure wether to buy this product due to this reason.

First off I would like to thank http://btemplates.com for my template =)

I never know what to write in these situations. What do you put in a blog? Well as I often buy products and see movies I didn't think it would hurt to give my personal thoughts/ review on such items.

Someone may or may not find this useful, but I know I often like to hear others thoughts on products, as this is often the best way to get a real view of what the product is like.

Also as I constantly contend with my anxiety and depression, I may express how I am feeling or some of the issues I face as a result.

Anyway I'm pretty pleased with my first post.
Hopefully there will be plenty more to come. =)
