Randomness...

Thought I'd share some photos today of either new purchases this week or just random stuff I need to do or have done this week. Pretty much my week in Photos...

Me and Coco Chanel on Pinterest watching 'Meet Joe Black'

Murchinson-Hume Cleaning products. I've wanted these for a while and saw them on Ozsale this week but didn't want to pay the shipping so got them at Domayne yesterday. I ended up getting 'Counter Intelligence' Food safe surface spray $12.95. 'Boy's Bathroom' Cleaner $12.95 and 'Luxury' Laundry Soak $19.95. I love the packaging, I'm a sucker for cute packaging!!! They smell really good, haven't had a chance to use them yet but will keep you updated.

Looks so pretty in my Laundry on the shelf

My new Owl iPad sleeve from www.etsy.com I think it was about $15 with free shipping!

Opps, didn't realize how dirty this was but I love keeping my nail polishes in my pretty jar. I really need some more OPI colours to fill this baby up

This is unfortunately one side of my wardrobe, it is stressing me out because it's so unorganized. I'm looking to get it built in but can't decide on anything and nothing premade fits for some silly reason. This side is of my dresses which I obviously have too many considering I have another large garbage bag ready for the Salvos. Embarrassingly there are still tags on a few to many clothes in here. I wear gym wear to work every day so never get to wear 'Normal' clothes. My goal this week is to organize and throw out more stuff so it can actually fit. You can see my shoes at the bottom and scarves at the top. I need baskets and shoe storage pronto!!! I do have a tonne of those clear shoe boxes but absolutely nowhere to put them so they sit in my garage.

I got this beautiful Alannah Hill dress in Melbourne a few weeks ago. It's so cute on, will be wearing it tomorrow so will post a photo of it. I think it will be a fav for a while.

My Bedside table - I love it, it's got all my favorite things on it. My free Olympic Coke cup from McDonalds, beautiful Buddah Bum candle, Real Living Magazine, Small tray holds my lip conditioner, hand cream, bobby pins etc, Wedding photo in a mirrored frame and an elephant statue (3 elephants sitting on top of each other covering their eyes, mouths and ears representing hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil given to use as a wedding gift from my Brother and Sister-in-law)

Need to reorganize my makeup on my counter. Would love to put it away but my cupboards are so narrow nothing fits and it's so hard to get too so on the counter they stay.

One of my fav purchases this week. One of my besties got me the Glasshouse Montego Bay Candle which she had burning when she decorated our room on our wedding night and it is the nicest smelling candle. I've finished burning the one she gave me so went out to David Jones and bought the big version $39.95. It is seriously the best candle I've ever had and at this moment in time I have about 6 candles on rotation throughout the house. I'm sure i'm going to use it up way too quickly.

One of my students bought me this turtle for my phone. She gave me some turtles when she first found out I was engaged because turtles stay together forever and we used turtles on the front of our wedding invitations so since then she always buys me Turtle stuff. How cute is this one!!! It's head wobbles too! I do have a crack in my screen but it's not too bad so won't bother getting it fixed. I also have a little green spotty home button. LOVE IT!!

That's all for today

My Little House

I am obsessed with home decor!!!! I'm totally into Pinterest trying to make my house look like magazine standard which is pretty impossible in my tiny townhouse.
I have been having lots of fun with a can of black gloss paint, randomly one day decided I didn't need to have my husband with me to go and get paint so headed down to Bunnings and grabbed everything I needed. I only wanted to paint our hideous 90's apricot staircase a beautiful shiny black. It was surprisingly easy and turned out really nice seeing I had never painted before.

I had about half a can left so grabbed my old white dressing table I got about 10 years ago for my b'day and painted it!!! I LOVE how it turned out. I have wanted a Ghost chair forever and thought this table would make a cute desk for my laptop to be on. We set the table up downstairs in a little corner. We went to DARE furniture on the weekend to buy my Ghost chair only to find they had 1 black one on sale from $350 down to $99. I can not go past a bargain so had to get the black which I'm in love with now. 

Can't wait till we can get a new bed, dying for one with a padded headboard thing, don't really know what they are called.  Also want to wallpaper the wall behind the bed.  Did anybody notice what the pillow says? hehe

This week we also purchased another long wanted item for our bedroom. Mirrored bedside tables!!!!! Now we just need a pretty chest of drawers instead of our wood ones which do not match. Seeing as though I've got paint crazy I'm thinking of painting them with the remaining black gloss paint.

 

 Our Puppy (well he's 1 now but he's our puppy) loves going to rides in the back of the ute.  He's wearing another new jacket, my mother spends more money on him then on all of us kids combined.  

 Me and the Husband finally used one of our wedding gifts, our Breville Juicer.  I've been pretty sick lately so thought some carrot juice might do the trick.  It didn't make me better but it was pretty good.  The juicer itself if really good, we don't have much in our fridge so only had some carrots and an apple, the apple definitely makes it takes a little nicer.  Cleaning the thing is a pain in the A$$!!!!

 

Only 2 weeks until I go to San Francisco!!!!  I haven't been buying much lately because I know I want to do some shopping over there.  I might have to do a post of my USA wish list, it's getting longer every day.  Anybody have any must dos while in San Fran?  I've never been, I have been to America quite a few times but not there.  I'll start getting excited after this week, last week of classes and it's Parents Watch Week which is so exhausting having to teach and have all the noisy parents in the room.  7 classes tomorrow!!!!!  I also have to figure out substitute teachers for while I'm gone.

I would love to do OOTD (Outfit of the Day) but unfortunately I only ever wear workout gear.  Fridays I get to wear normal people clothes and also on Sundays

KITTEN D'AMOR opens this Thursday at Carindale!  Is anybody else excited???  Husband says I'm allowed to buy some stuff cuz he likes that style.
