The false resolution

At the end of every year you spend alot of time thinking of your goals and how you are going to acheive them. Some people want more money, others want to quit smoking and a huge percentage of people want to loose weight. Now these are very common resolutions, have you ever noticed what happens AFTERWARDS.

I was out to lunch on the 1st of the year and I witnessed a group of people that were extremely hung over to get some food. I started wondering what their own resolutions were. That lead me onto my friends resolutions and people I know. What made me laugh and still makes me giggle is that on new years eve they all made the common resolutions.
That evening though, the people who wanted to quit smoking - they sat there and said their resolution with a smoke in their hand. When the clock struck midnight they continued smoking all through out the night. The ones who wanted to loose weight?  They got so drunk that the morning afterwards they had the worst hangover,  whats a number one cure for hangovers? Fatty food. So they went and stood in the line for maccas the next morning after their new resolution. Then you had the people who wanted more money. They spent all of theirs on booze for that evening and breakfast in the morning and called in sick for their job because of the night before.

So what if these resolutions are the source of a bad year? People literally set them selves up for failure the day after they set these goals. Some people even say that how you start the year is how well that year will go for you. Im not a believer in that but I do think that we should make resolutions on the night of the 1st so dont end up contradicting your self.

For me, I am one of those people with the cliché resolutions but instead of a huge one im setting my self little goals. In my make up study I want to be known as a person who is very good at make up. I want to study and practice so hard that  maybe I ca  get in the door within the fashion industry. I start this in march which then leads on to my next goal. Losing 10 kilos by march. I felt healthier at that weight! And defiantly want to continue with my blog!!

Just wanted to give you a bit of something to think about on the 1st day of the year!!

Much love

The end of a year

The end of a year tends to bring many things with it. All the happy times you have shared, the sad moments, those life changing moments and those regrets.
My thought though is how many of these moments have helped create who you are today. Would I be standing here if I didn't go through what I have?

Every year there is always something shitty that comes along. Which makes us hate the entire year all together, For me it was a horrible job, where a boss consistently bullied me and then on top of that I went back to course - which ultimately bored me - I almost lost all enjoyment in my passion. And I left my cat with my parents. Shes happy which I'm glad but I defiantly miss her a lot

But I look at how great this year has been! I went to Australia for the first time and got to do all the sight seeing stuff such as cuddling koalas and snakes! swimming with sharks! Plus got to go on all the wicked rides! I loved spending all of that with my Husband and my brother who is also my best friend!
I got to witness my husband and Is best friends get married! It was such a beautiful service, Alysha looked like a princess and Chris looked like the proudest and happiest man I've ever seen. It was such an honor to witness!
I had my 21st this year, which was super fun with the added surprise of my husband proposing! I couldn't wait to put that ring on my finger! I got to keep the man of my dreams!
Less than 5 months later we were married. All the drama that went into planning this wedding was crazy but it finally came on the 2.11.2013. Walking down that isle, seeing lee waiting for me (crying :P well "the blubbs" as he called it hehe) made my world stop. I was his he was mine. In that moment I couldn't of been happier. When we said I do, I could see how wonderful my life was going to be with this man by my side. We went on a glorious honeymoon! very relaxing - just what we needed!
A month later we are in our own home and Loving every second of it!! We defiantly have little things to work on - due to now being with each other 100 percent of the time! But over all, cuddling up on the couch, cooking interesting meals and having somewhere just to call ours, has been fantastic, i couldn't put a price tag on it!

I like where i am and couldn't imagine what sort of year it would have been with out these things. Who would I be with out these ups and downs? So always remember that even if you have had a crap year or a great year, it is a year that has made you are today.
Ultimately when I think of this year, I cant help but smile. So 2013 farewell, please 2014 bring as much joy as 2013 bought me.


With Love

Steak....

Im all for having a freezer full of meat so that I have lots of selection. But what tends to happen when our meat supply starts to dwindle is I run out of ideas for meals!! I tend to feel as though I have nothing in my cupboard at all.

Today I prepared steak. Its been defrosted and is all ready to go. Seriously. Steak. Im at a complete loss of how to make this one piece of meat anything but a slab on the plate. My ingredients are still being built up so I dont actually have a whole heaps to go with.

For now im searching my pintrest board for some sort of inspiration. Casseroles seem a tad of a challenge for me at the moment as I generally only have chicken ingredients. So my mission at the super market this week is to broaden my horizon on the ingredient front haha.

Buuttt I also have another problem. I am a fussy eater as is my husband. So this all makes my task alot harder than it has to be! I also want it to be healthy!! But those lovely veggies with the bright colours make my stomach turn!!! So I have two things that I am keeping in mind for this meal. Which in turn has made me slightly regret pulling the steak out of the freezer for tonight's dinner. Maybe I should pre plan my meals....well thats a completely different topic all together isnt it?

So for now im going to stick with this challenge and ill post what I come up with.

Fingers crossed.

Much love

Well this is just the follow on from above!

I decided to cook the steak as its big lump of meat :/ But I tried to marinate it - but i was quite disappointed in the end result. It was bland and chewy. I think that I need to marinate it for longer than an hour! The marinade was AMAZING! It just didn't have enough time to settle within the steak :(. All around i think it could have been better - my husband got home early so i had to do a rush job GAH! But next time i think ill be more prepared. 

A little about me

Hi guys, I have started this blog, to be able to put down all my thoughts, my progress in life and to most likely to keep my sanity.

I'm 21, I have just finished studying hair dressing for two years and next year I'm taking on makeup artistry so that I can be involved within the fashion business.
I have just married the man of my dreams, he is the man of my life <3 I have been with him for 6 years and we couldn't be happier.

This blog is going to have a bit of everything in it. Me and my progress in married life - learning to be a wife - which is totally a new thing for me. Little quirky cleaning techniques - because in the progress of moving into our first place I've become a little bit of a clean freak (which is NOT a bad thing!) My cooking skills! I'm in love with making meals and coming up with new ideas to put on my table! A track of how I'm feeling about my weight loss. It is a constant journey and some days I have low days and others I have great days! About my journey of completing make up artistry. And  probably a whole lot about how I'm feeling with some quirky thoughts. So like i said, a little bit of everything.

For now though this is just a little introduction of what is to come. I hope you enjoy reading.




Much Love
