Adult Colouring?

Hi

So between my new obsession with Teen Wolf and Kingston chocolate biscuits I have found myself really enjoying something that I previously thought was ridiculous. You may have guessed by the title that I'm referring to adult colouring books. 

I never saw the point of them... I figured if you wanted to do some colouring why can't you just buy a normal kids colouring book and some pencils instead of something so intricate. But then at Christmas last year during a family game of secret Santa I won an adult colouring book. My mum then gave me a pack of gel pens and if I'm honest they're the absolute key to the joy of the adult colouring books. Ever since the morning after Christmas Day I was basically obsessed with my gel pens and my adult jungle colouring book. 

The satisfaction of 1. Getting to own gel pens as an adult and 2. Completing something so intricate is brilliant. It's something to occupy you that also gives you a great sense of achievement. Technically I guess it's not much of an achievement but it feels like one and that's all that matters. 

So if you're like me and you maybe sometimes work nights when it gets quiet or are also like me and just like feeling like you've achieved something then I strongly advise trying a colouring book and some gel pens. Watch yourself become obsessed with a colouring book.

The first picture I finished, feel the pride.


But also don't close the book too fast after you've finished a picture or else it will smudge and you'll want to cry. 

Happy colouring!

Goodbye Long Hair!

Hello, I am back!

The most interesting thing that has happened to be lately (apart from passing all my exams - yay!) is that I cut all my hair off. Goodbye lovely long hair and hello 3x shorter showers. I'm in a very love/hate relationship with my haircut at the moment. I cannot definitively decide if I like it, but it's been done now so I'm going to choose to like it!


before and after


Now I have new hair and one week of holidays left I've decided to give myself even more of a make over and have started back on the fake tan. In case you aren't aware I am legitimately the most pale person to ever walk the earth, I am translucent. Some people love being pale and that's excellent but of course because I am pale it's the 'the grass is always greener' situation and I've just always wished I was naturally tan. So I've taken it upon myself to spend forever sitting on the bathroom for with a tanning mitt every few days. I've been using Bondi Sands which is an Australian brand which I really like. It goes quite dark and doesn't go patchy or fade too fast like a lot of other tanners. It does have a tan smell to it, which is slightly coconut-like, but once you shower once it vanishes!

in dark because I go hard

The last attempt at making myself over is tending to my nails. Now I'm not allowed to have painted nails for work (I'm a Carer) but because I'm a rebel (Just kidding I have a few days off) I've gone all-out with this lovely purple-grey tone nail polish. I don't know where it's from because one of my clients gave it to me as a gift but it's called 'messed up' and I really like it. I find I look a little washed out with it when I'm pale but with a slight tan it looks excellent!

clearly it leaked all over my bag - joy

That's all from me for now, I hope you have, are having or have had a lovely weekend - see you soon!

Feeding Australian Animals!

G'day!

This post is for any animal lovers! 

I have lived in Australia my entire life and this weekend was the first time I've ever actually been up-close with any of our animals. I had the absolute best day and thought I would share some up-close-and-personal photos of some of the animals at the wildlife park we visited (Cleland Wildlife Park). 

 - Please note that I left my actual camera at home so all these are photos from my iPhone and alas not exactly magazine quality! -

Mum and Joey 



Ducks!

Okay, so there are ducks everywhere - I know. But they are my favourite animal and they were at the park so they had to be included.

Emu

Yeah, that's right. I actually fed an Emu. I won't lie, this was the highlight of the entire day. It also started to follow me around after I fed it which was a little terrifying. Luckily I guided it towards one of my friends and let it chase them. Problem solved. 

Kangaroo
These were the most chilled out Kangaroos I've ever seen. Here in Australia we're quite wary of them as they could do a loooooot of damage if they kicked or whipped you but these guys were lovely. Legit just laid there while you fed them. They come up to you, too!

Potoroo
These little guys are called Potoroos and they kind of look like a mix between a tiny possum/kangaroo/mouse type creature. There are so many of them roaming around the park and they're just gorgeous. The fact I can't have one for a pet upsets me. Imagine the cuddles. 

???

I don't actually know what this adorable bird is called... I am going to attempt to find out, but until then I will be calling him Buckbeak as I did all day at the park today. He is bigger than any duck and clearly a lot smaller than an Emu. He also took quite a shine to me which I'm certainly not complaining about and I'm also pretending it was me personally and not the food I had for him.

Tasmanian Devil
I've wanted to see a Tasmanian Devil for so long and this one was gorgeous. He basically just rolled around in some sort of sleepy daze and rubbed his face in the dirt. He also didn't like to pose for pictures - rude. 

Dingo

Dingos don't really have the best reputation in Australia but... let's face it they are damn adorable. 

Pelican

You best believe I kept my distance from this one. I think Pelicans are great, they're very attractive (in a weird-beak way) and I like them but I don't trust them. If they peck you, you don't stand a chance. ONE GULP. Which actually isn't a legitimate logical fear, but I have it anyway.

Me Squinting and some Kangaroos

And lastly there is me trying to get a selfie with all the Kangaroos in the background - Sadly it didn't quite work out for me. 
Regardless, I had an absolutely amazing day at the Cleland Wildlife Park. All the animals were lovely, I only wish we had more time so we could have seen the reptiles and birds. I also wish my phone hadn't died or that I brought my camera so I could have photographed the rest of the animals. Unfortunately I didn't get to take photos of the Wombats, Echidnas or Koalas. But I'm sure there will be another day for them! I would definitely go back.

I give today a 10/10.
