What's In My Handbag?

I'm in love with my handbag! It took me a long time to find a handbag that I was so happy with. I have always had quite cheap handbags so they were never amazing and always fell apart after a few months but last year I started my whole "I'm all grown up now and classy" thing and so when I went handbag shopping for a new bag I decided that Kate Hill was the exact store I needed to go to.

Normally I would have walked straight past a store like Kate Hill because I was never the kind of girl that could afford such luxuries but because I am now a proper working girl and I work damn hard to deserve luxuries I decided one day to spoil myself with a Kate Hill bag. I think when I walked into the store I fell in love, so many gorgeous bags in so many gorgeous colours and sizes and classiness.

This was the bag I chose and I still have it and love it!! It fits everything I need into and still has room for much more and the colours are SO me :D

 


What I love most about my bag is that it has 3 big zippered sections and the back one is where I very nicely fit my I-Pad (my handbag was created to hold a laptop or tablet) YAY! the front pocket I keep paperwork in. Usually just my phone bill, which is the only bill I pay at the post office now.

In the middle I keep everything else:


- Playboy Body Spray
- Avon Far Away travel roll on perfume (my fave perfume fragrance)
- My pink 2015 diary
- Strepsils
- Mentos Breathmints
- Nivea Hydrating Lip balm
- Sorbolene moisturiser (for my dry hands)
- My purse that I got for Christmas from my Step-Daughter which holds so many cards and photos of my mummy and my besties from work.
- My Car and house key which are easy to find with Converse keyring that my lil brother got for me.
- Bic pen with 4 pastel colours - my fave pen EVER!
- Mr Bump band-aids
- My Sony Xperia Z2 - which doesn't have a case yet because nobody seems to sell them over here or they sell boring ones
- Sunglasses 

And that's about it!

Oh and p.s: today my Husband and I went out for a day at the beach and to watch some of the Santos Tour Down Under at Aldinga :D Yay!! I think I saw Cadel Evans hahaha he was blurry :P

Favourite Quote

Well today is supposed to be 'My Favourite Quote' but I am a huge quote/sayings lover and so I am going to share my top ten quotes with you all because I can't just choose one it would be way too hard for me.

I tend to have lots of quotes written down in my journals or as screensavers on my ipad or phone and I have them jotted down here there and everywhere. If I could have my own office/study in our house one day the walls would be covered in so many quotes you wouldn't see a space of wall.

Ok so here goes. My top ten quotes in no particular order:

#1
'Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain'
I have always loved this quote mainly because I love dancing in the rain but also because it always gets me through any bad day when I say it to myself.

#2


This quote is from one of my favourite romantic movies of all time, Moulin Rouge. I remember being 16 and watching this movie and that line just melted my heart and has been a fave line ever since.

#3

"me? im dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest, honestly its the honest ones you want to watch out for because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly.... stupid" Jack Sparrow - Pirates of the Caribbean
Basically anything Jack Sparrow says cracks me up, you have to love him! So it is only fitting that one of his quotes makes it into my top ten!

#4
'Anybody remotely interesting is mad in some way or another'
This quote has so much truth to it it's ridiculous. Plus i'm a little mad so any quote that speaks to me on a personal level is perfect!

#5

Pretty damn simple!

#6

This is a quote that I absolutely adore and always preach to others but also a quote that I really need to listen to more because I am the biggest worrier.

#7
"Nobody expects the spanish inquisition" Monty Pythons
Now this quote is a funny one because I actually first took notice of it in the movie Sliding Doors and then when I rewatched the Monty Pythons my love for the line just grew and grew.

#8
"Aww bless their little cotton socks"
My Mum used to say this one when I was younger, it was her British thing to say but I really started to say it a lot after I heard Robbie Williams say it during a video he did with Take That in the 90's and ever since then it has been my favourite thing to say because it brings my Britishness out! :P

#9




HA! one of those sayings that I always think of saying to an annoying customer but can never say so I think it in my head and smile politely.......

#10
"It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winnings winning" Vin Diesel - Fast and the Furious
The line from Fast and the Furious that made me want to have a boyfriend as manly and protective as Vin Diesel when I was 16. Now i'm not so keen on having a huge car racing muscle man who gets his girlfriend in trouble with the law all the time but I do still love this quote and the awesome way that he says it.

So there you have it! My top ten favourite quotes or sayings. Do you have a favourite quote??? comment below if you do :D

If I won the lottery....

I always think about what I would do if I ever won the lottery. Which is a weird thing to think about when I never actually buy lottery tickets to able to win in the first place.

I guess if I did win the lottery the first thing I would do is travel. Yep! I would explore all the places I have always wanted to see. That would take a big chunk of things from my bucket list. I have most of the typical destinations on my bucket list including:

• Paris
• Italy
• Egypt
• Ireland
• New York 
• Barbados

Once I had travelled, I think I would figure out where I really wanted to live and I would buy a house there a house that I helped design. Then I would put money away for my kids futures.



Lastly I would use money to help others. I don't exactly know how but if I do ever win the lottery I would definitely use it for helping others but I wouldn't just give it to charity I would actually research for a few years or see what people need while I was travelling and then find something extremely meaningful.

Not really exciting I know but it would all satisfy me immensely!
What would you do if you won the lottery??

My Most Proud Moment

Today's post is by far the easiest, obviously being a mother my most proud moment was giving birth to a tiny little human who turned out to be a groovy little dude.



That day was a pretty crazy (and painful) day and it also happened to be Mothers Day. My son also seems to have perfect timing. I can't withstand pain very well at all in normal circumstances so I was absolutely dreading the day he arrived. However I stayed strong and with no pain relief whatsoever I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy after a long 10 hour labour. At the time I wasn't too impressed but now looking back on it I am extremely proud of myself for going through all of that and especially at such a young age of 17. I wouldn't change becoming a young mother at all. Sure I missed out on parts of being a teenager and living the free life but my son has taught me so much about the real world and now he is almost grown up I can go and explore the world without being too old to enjoy it.



As my little munchkin grew up I realised I was going to be in for some serious trouble as his curly hair and big eyes drew attention to everyone in the shopping centres, kindy, parks etc. Everywhere I went somewhere came up and told me how gorgeous he was.....like I didn't already know! haha. Then when Kindy time came I knew I was doomed. The girls all wanted to be his best friend.

Then came primary school!!
The girls followed him everywhere. When I went down to the school one day to see him at sports day my now husband and I giggled from the hill as we watched a bunch of girls following along behind him everywhere he went and my little man just ignored it and played war with his mates, turning around every now and then with a grin at the girls.

This year my little man turns 12 and I just do not where those 12 years went but I do know that my little munchkin is the best thing that ever happened to me and I am so proud of myself for the mother I have become, I never thought that I would survive and I really didn't think that he would turn out normal having to have me as a mother but we have succeeded and there are many more years of fun to come :D




What is your most proud moment???

First Celebrity Crush

My very first celebrity crush was Robbie Williams!!

Yep! that's right. I was 8 years old and somebody in my family had a Take That VHS that they decided to show me because they thought I might enjoy the music. I fell in love with Robbie Williams that very day (and Mark Owen as well but Robbie was my main man) and my Mum was convinced it was just going to be a 'phase' and I would get over it in a year or two............well I proved her wrong! Robbie Williams has been my number 1 celebrity crush for the last 20 years and he will always be.

Take That - back in the day

The VHS that started it all!

Take That have also always been my favourite band ever. I have all their albums as well as all of Robbie's albums and I was devastated that they broke up. I followed all their solo careers for many years. I purchased a Robbie Williams (Take That version) doll which I still have in it's box. One of my most prized possessions. In 2001 I finally got to see Robbie LIVE!! I was so bloody excited!! It was the best concert I have ever been to.




Unfortunately I missed him the next time he came to Adelaide which absolutely devastated me. I had tickets but we had some problems with money that year and I had to sell the tickets.

Then a few years ago my biggest dream came true! Take That got back together.......WITH ROBBIE!! I don't think I have ever screamed so much. I got to have my boys back in action. I purchased all their new cd's and dvd's and loved them all. Then they split again :( Now there are just three of the boys left but i'm still their biggest fan :D and as for Robbie no matter what he does I will always love that man! best pop star EVER!!!!



So there we have it my very first and still favourite celebrity crush. My family and friends still buy me Robbie merchandise for my birthday's and Christmas's and my husband is fully aware that Robbie is always going to scattered around our house.
Who was your first Celebrity Crush?? and do you still love them now??

Piercings and Tattoos?

Today I am supposed to talk about piercings and tattoos. Personally I'm not a fan of piercings. I only have my ears pierced and from what I remember at the age of 7 it was uncomfortable and it hurt and so I have never really had any desire to get anything else pierced. 

I see people with piercings all the time and none of them really inspire me to get any more. I don't mind a lip piercing but I hate nose piercings and belly button ones are ok too but I would never get one. I also despise tongue piercings and stretchers. They just seem too crazy for my liking and I don't get how people can eat properly with metal stuck in their tongue. I must admit there are quite a few people who seem to be able to pull piercings off but just not me :) 

Now tattoos. I used to be against tattoos but the older I get the more I like them. However I'm scared like hell of needles so it's taking me a long time to work up the courage to get my first one. I'm not a huge fan of coloured tattoos though. I prefer the classic black ones. My first tattoo I would like to get a tattoo for my Mum which I am still working on and then I want to get a Disney Belle tattoo but I want her to be hipster. Still working on what I want but I definitely want to get my first one next year for my 30th. 

Okay that's all from me today and now I'm heading off for a full day of work.

An Old Photo of Me

So for today's post I am supposed to share an old photo of myself. I have plenty of old photos of myself because I was quite the poser when I was younger. However this one in particular is my favourite basically because I thought I was super cool (and still do haha).

Another thing about this photo is that my friends decided that the "Princess and the Frog", Disney Princess Tiana looks so much like me that Disney must have seen  me and designed her after me. Now I must also mention that most of my friends are as insane as me and they put the two pics together for me. Weirdos :P

Anyway. It's and old photo of me with a twist so hey presto! Enjoy! Oh and p.s this pic was taken when I was about 3 and I am on holiday with my Mum in Yorkshire.
