Finally

This break has been waiting too long for me. I can hardly describe how good it is knowing that I have two weeks of freedom and relaxation time -rolls around-. To be honest I don't really feel as though I deserve this break because my results from term 1 so far are nothing short of disappointing. I somehow managed to dropped a full grade in about two of my subjects and my goal of topping health again this year seems further off than I thought now zzz.

Nonetheless, thank you to everybody for being so patient with the ridiculously long periods in between each post on srhtrng but look forward to more during this amazing fortnight!

Hope all of you are well and that you have a lovely weekend ♥



p.s/I'll be dying my hair a more chocolatey shade of brown soon!

March Glossybox

I decided to order a Glossybox after Alice introduced it to me. How adorable is the packaging!?









Most of this month's products were "active" lifestyle based so there were a lot of creams and shampoos. Ah, I still can't get over how gorgeous the Glossybox's packaging is /sparkly.









Products I received:

1. Thin Lizzy - Concealer Creme (Oriental Doll)
2. Eau Thermale - Gentle milk cleanser
3. Eau Thermale - Gentle toner
4. Laboratoires Klorane - Extra-gentle dry shampoo with oat milk
5. The Body Shop - Chocomania body butter

I'm so sorry that I've been MIA for the last fortnight but it's only a week and a half until the sweet, sweet holidays are here. You probably won't be hearing from me much until then so I hope all of you are well and that everyone's doing alright with their exams ♥

Can you turn it down?

Just wanted to upload a few of my experimental works for you guys to have a look at before I present them to my class tomorrow. I really should have done a lot more by now but oh well, at least I have the holidays to work on them. Hope all of you are having a lovely week so far!

She's a gymnast

Hi lovelies! Today's post is gonna have a lot of jumping because I wanted to include a week's worth of stuff so I'll just number it to make it easier to follow along.

1. Nina turned 17!! The poor girl had a philosophy test early in the morning but had a billion gifts to cheer her up at morning tea.

2. Sandra slept over on Thursday since I needed to start some experimental work for my art folio. We ended up not being able to go out since we started shooting pretty late and had to resort to taking photos in my room with an artificial light source (ugh, damn you distracting rubber craft). I have a presentation some time during next week where I have to display my progress to the class so we tried to take some photos anyway for the sake of me having something to present. They turned out so mediocre but I'll put up two of them anyway zzz...



Headpiece I made for Sandra which we didn't get to use







Ridiculously distracting craft thing Sandra and I got from Officeworks just because it was $2

3.0 West End vintage and designer markets! CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO

I was an idiot and forgot to check whether my camera had an sd card inserted or not so I couldn't take any photos of the West End markets :( It's a lot smaller in comparison to Suitcase Rummage but I reckon that it's so much classier. All of the sellers were located in an enclosed, undercover area; their clothing was on rails and hangers; quite a few people were selling stuff from ASOS, Mossman, Lipsy etc.; there was a dj and the quality of the clothing is a lot better than the stuff you'd find at Suitcase Rummage (which is on tomorrow!). Only thing that was a downer was that most of the clothing was at minimum $15 :( I kind of wish I spend more time there, boo. There was a 12pm screening of This Means War that I had to make so I just grabbed a cute dress and left really quickly since it was getting pretty humid and stuffy anyway.



$15 dress (new) from the markets and a floppy hat I got from Dotti later in the day.



Hope all of you are well and have a great weekend! ♥
