I can't believe 2016 is already upon us! Its been months since I last posted on here and with the welcoming on 2016, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to jump back on the blogging band wagon. With 2015 just passing, I thought it only fitting to share with you all my 2015 favorites through the 2015 favorites tag.

I discovered a few things whilst doing this creative look. One is that I have an unbelievable and uncontrollable shake and the other is that I should probably use some sort of reference when I try to create a 'character' based look. Whilst I didn't have a specific character in mind, I wanted to create a comic book character look.

It's been a while since I did a tag post and I've had this one sitting in my inventory of post ideas for a while now so I thought it might be fun to do. Tonight I'll be knuckling down and taking photos for blog posts and scheduling them- but until then I hope you forgive me for my 'laziness' and enjoy this post.

Recently I found a blog post by Nothin' Fancy Really entitled 50 Spring Post Ideas for Beauty Bloggers which, as the title says, gives beauty bloggers amazing post ideas for the Spring season. Unfortunately at this time of year Australia is absolutely freezing, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to come up with some Winter blog post ideas for beauty  and lifestyle bloggers.

Ever since australis came out with the Velourlips lip creams I have been all about that matte. I have done a review here on the Hon-O-Loo-Loo lip cream, however I don't think I gave this product enough credit. So, without further ado, here is my updated review on the australis Velourlips lip creams- with swatches of Hon-O-Loo-Loo, Ho-Chee-Min, Mi-A-Mee & Doo-Bai.

Following the stress of finding a house, packing and all the added extras when it comes to getting a new job, I've found myself reaching out to face masks to give my skin (and self) a little pick me up. One of the ones I've found myself reaching for is the Ayesha Fresh Face Mask from Lush.

Life is hectic. I have been completely and utterly run off my feet and haven't had a lot of time to sit down and blog, so I thought I'd let you all know why.

Over the last month or two I have been applying for jobs left right and center. I was called for an interview two weeks ago and, following that, was greeted a week later for a 'meet and greet'. This proved very successful and I got the satisfying news on Monday that I have landed the job. Yay me! :D

I handed in my resignation letter to my current employer, with my final day to be February 13, 2015. While I am extremely proud and excited for my new position, I also feel a little sad as I will be waving goodbye to some great people that I've grown to know extremely well over the last two years.

My new job also means moving, not only house, but town. It's only around an hour away, but still a move is a move. We are currently house hunting, so I'll be sending my partner Chris to go inspect some so we have a house to shift into once my current job ends.  I'll have two weeks to move before my next job starts, so we'll be house hunting and (hopefully) moving over that time.

I've decided that 2015 is going to be my year. After my move I'll be blogging more, developing myself as a person and setting and achieving goals to the best of my abilities. I believe this year is my year to shine, to blossom as a person and as a valuable asset to my work, family, friends and the wider community.

I can't wait to bring you along on my journey, to share with you my life and to learn a little about yours as well.

Hopefully I will be posting more very soon!
Until then...
