My Footsteps

Remember ~ to travel often: Getting lost is the best way to find yourself...

Longer Locks

When I was 14 I cut off my waist-length hair to a short bob... and of course, now 9 years later, just like my mother warned me - I am trying to grow it back!


Fact is, my hair will never be that healthy again. It hadn't been dyed and bleached and straightened to breaking point! It's a catch 22, the whole reason I want long hair, is so that I can have it curled and hairsprayed into fancy up-dos... but you can't have long hair if you neglect it.


Here are a few things I've learnt that encourage your hair to shine and grow...

Scalp Massages:
That's right ladies, if you're boyfriend wants you to have long hair - you have the perfect excuse to either drop a bit of extra money on that salon without him complaining OR my favourite... have him doting over you once a week and giving you the massage himself!!


Trim dead hair:
I know you're attached to the length but if you really have split ends, they will just break and travel further up and make your hair look thin and unhealthy.


Codliver Oil:
A lot of people will recommend silica tablets etc. But I would suggest trying something like Codliver Oil tablets first. It is cheaper and should do the job as well as make your skin and nails healthier. It has high levels of Omega-3 and Vitamins D & A.

Leave the 'Drag', Be a Queen.

I think it's always important to get away for a girls weekend occasionally.

I went to Sydney for Mardi Gras and Rihanna and had a blast. I absolutely missed my man, especially when it came to bedtime and I realised that snuggling into an oversized top with his cologne on it, isn't the same as being wrapped in his warm, strong arms.

But, there was glitter everywhere, silly song blaring and lots of champagne.

The wait is over Rihanna

The 'Other Woman'

To me, she looks short and fat... and like all 'other women' stealing your man away, she is very dirty and rough. But still, my boyfriend can't resist spending hours with her every night, shirtless and sweaty.

I am of course, talking about the house my boyfriend is building for us!

Right now she is looking a bit like Lindsay lohan. Half-naked and a little run-down but with amazing potential! She is high-maintenance, causing my boyfriend to change things constantly to suit her position on the block. But she is also fun and exciting so I can't fight her allure... lucky for me she isn't greedy and I can join in a little.

I brought my boyfriend a picnic dinner for a break and ended up trying to help him put in fixed windows and pack the walls with itchy insulation. But... our favourite song came on the radio and I pulled him into a bit of dancing. I figure he may be there, looking after me by building us a beautiful house. But I'm there, looking after him with distractions and breaks so he doesn't burn himself out!

Brand Spanking New

4 days down and I am loving 2011!!!

There is something so exciting about the way new things shine... and the new year isn't any different!!!

It is sparkling with unfilled promises. Goals and resolutions to better life are flooding through everyone. It is time to take a breath and start over if you have to... or take what you already love to the next level.
