Lush Shopping Trip

I went to Lush today, with Zane. We have been gradually trying all the products they sell there, I love Lush, and it makes me so happy that Zane does too!
We have been trying to change over to more natural cosmetics and grooming products, it's a slow process but we are getting there.

Today I purchased my first Fresh Face Mask, Cupcake!
I tried it as soon as we got home! It was really good, on the packaging it says it "helps absorb oil and calm breakouts". It has Coca butter, linseed and cocoa powder, with peppermint, spearmint and sandalwood oils, so it smells like mint-chocolate, which is awesome!
And once it's one your face/and after it's washed off it smells just like (surprise!) cupcakes! Needless to say, I loved it!

Cupcake - $16.95 75g
I also purchased my first conditioner from Lush, American Cream. I got the smallest size (100g) because I'm not sure how I'd like it, and it is quite expensive! I usually pay under $10 for full size hair products!
I can't quite describe the smell of this, it is like vanilla-strawberry, but not. It is nice although I may have to get used to it, as I am used to conditioners that are synthetic and contain silicone!

Pole Dancing!


Tuesday night was a new experience for me, I tried my first 'Pole Tease' class at Fantasy Fitness & Dance Studio! (Along with Zane's sister, Kate)
I was nervous at first, but after the warm up I realised it was actually pretty fun and nothing what I expected. The teacher was really nice and helpful, we ended up learning three different spins, and did a different routine after each (where I learned how well I can follow dance instructions but also how ungraceful I really am!), then another stretch to cool down.

I definitely enjoyed myself, and it didn't feel like a workout at all... Until the next day, when my arms, shoulders, legs and stomach ached! But the good kind of ache where you know something must have worked! (Trying to tone - definitely not lose wait!)

Now I want lessons... and a pole...

A Quick Catch Up & A Fresh Start

Hello again,

It's been a while, a lot has changed since I last made a post... And when I say a lot I mean a LOT!
The biggest, and hardest change/challenge to overcome has been the passing of my baby, Charlie, late last year. He was playing in the yard while I was at work when he found a snake, my little hero put up a fight (he killed the snake) but unfortunately it was too late, and he was gone when we found him. He meant the world to me, not a day goes by where I don't think of his adorable little happy face.
RIP Sweet Prince 19/12/09 - 15/11/12
On a lighter note, much lighter! The most visibly noticeable change has been my hair. It has taken a bit to get used to (people notice blondes more, trust me, you notice the difference!) but I'm really liking it.
Thank you to my man's talented sister, Kate - The Perfect Mane

I have been living with Zane, and his family, for the past nine months. Zane and I will be moving out on our own soon, hopefully! Into a house we will be renting from his parents, but can treat as our own.

Zane and I adopted a puppy, Louie, just under a month ago.
He is a KelpieX Shepherd, and he looks like a Dingo! He's such a handsome baby, definitely still a baby! He's goofy, runs into walls/furniture/people, and enjoys eating non-edible things, but we love him all the same :) I would have added photos if my phone weren't being so troublesome. 

I have been working! (Oh, the shock!) Before I had this job, I was unemployed for about two years, and now I have been working full time for about eight months, as an IT Help-Desk Officer. It's boring, and I'm not smart enough, but it's a job and it's good money!

I'm also studying online part-time, Certificate III in Children's Services. I plan on becoming a Kindergarten teacher, but before that I want to work at a Child Care Centre (it is also a requirement to the certificate I'm doing).

There are a few other changes too, but that's enough for now.

Later,
Celeste
