Sunday Survey // 01

Playing around with my new camera!

01 Mood: Excited but apprehensive- Chris and I are in charge of my parents place now that they've gone overseas, and it is the first time we have to really fend for ourselves. Plus, I'm coming down with something, and have a feeling being sick without Mum's comfort is going to suck.

02 Best thing about this weekend: I went to Doncaster to swatch some Laura Mercier and eat Sumo Salad with my man. I say 'swatch' and 'eat' but I really mean haul and maul ;)

03 Last movie I saw: Natonal Lampoons European Vacation, which was a nice funny movie for a Saturday night.

04 What I’m watching: Right now I'm watching Miss Glamorazzi on YouTube. She is one of my favourites and so easy to watch, she is so upbeat and positive.

05 Skincare lust: I'm lusting over some Antipodes and Grown products, but in terms of what I'm using right now I am loving my Kiehls Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate. I haven't seen major results just yet but I love the warming feeling when I apply it, and I hope that this will help my fine lines.

06 Listening to: T.I. on my iPhone on the train, and Chris' old phone mix in the car, which is full of old school RNB and rap songs that we both love to sing along to.

07 Favourite recent purchase: Chris bought me the new Laura Mercier palette for Cheeks and Eyes today, from the recent Lingerie collection. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about makeup!

08 What I’m reading: I just finished reading the whole Harry Potter series and have moved onto Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5. I am into war novels at the moment, so have a few lined up including Pat Barker's works.

09 I want: To haul some Haus of Gloi for the first time!

10 Aim for this week: To keep learning how to cook dinner now that we have the house to tend to, and to get active and start to drop some of this uncomfortable weight that has crept up on me.

How about you?
How was your weekend?

About Me & Wellbeing Wednesday

The beautiful Megan from Beauty in the Sky and the amazing Priyanka from twinxNtrax forwarded this blog award to me, in which I have to share seven things about myself that you might not know! Thanks to the lovely ladies for thinking of me, I've made so many new friends from this whole blogging shenanigan and these two were among my favourite new friends I met during the Australia Beauty Bloggers Weekend!

The rules are to;
1. Thank the person who awarded it to you and give a link back to their blog.
2. Write 7 random facts about yourself
3. Then spread the love and award to 7 other bloggers.

1. I am a scaredy cat of the highest order. Flying sends me into tears, rollercoasters are out of the question and boat rides make me rock back and forth like a baby.
2. I am only 20 years old, but I feel and act a lot older. My parents go out more than I do!
3. My parents are Scottish and I've travelled there with them a few times when I was younger. I haven't been back for quite a while though, and I miss my family over there!
4.Despite loving beauty and everything related to it with a passion, I can never nail a 'perfect' look when I go out formally. I am terrible at smoky eyes and wish I could learn how to do them.
5. I crave savoury foods every time I drink a coffee, so rather than having 'coffee and cake' it's more likely I'll want a handful of rice crackers with my flat white.
6.Nail polish hardly lasts more than a day on my fingers:(
7. I asked my best friend Candice to come up with most of these because I couldn't think of anything!

I'd like to tag these ladies to share some random facts on their blogs!

I began taking part in Wellbeing Wednesday after reading Jess' post over at the belle lumiere Everyone involved attempts a group challenge as well as one we create ourselves, and puts $5 away if the goals are achieved by the end of the week. Next Wednesday, you will find out if I was successful in these goals!
