Coffee, fashion, gardening and food.


Went into work for Mum and Dad today- a couple of months ago a gorgeous new coffee shop opened up the street from their business and it's absolutely gorgeous. There's colour, character, art, friendly baristas and a beautiful atmosphere. The coffee is incredible.
It's called 'Disco Beans' .






 I have been going to 'Lush' quite a lot lately and at the moment they are wrapping their gifts in vintage/recycled head scarves for Christmas. They're $5.50 each and there is an incredibly colourful selection to choose from. I've taken to purchasing one for myself at each visit to wear in my hair or around my neck, along with my heavenly smelling bath salts. 




I wandered down to the veggie patch today to remove the flowers from the rocket plant (as well as pick a few sprigs) and miraculously found a strawberry that hadn't been eaten by a tiny evil creature. Although I went down to collect a few yums, I ended up spending a half hour pulling weeds and throwing away snails (I couldn't kill them, they had huddled up in family groups). Forgot my gloves though so my hands got a bit grubby.


When I arrived home today after a day of physical work (something my privileged self is not used to), I was happy to find a package that had been adorned with Hello Kitty and My Little Pony stickers, which in my opinion is enough to brighten anyone's day. But as well as that, there was my lovely new TARDIS hair bow inside!
After my weeding expedition in the garden, I decided it was time for a relaxing bath and what better excuse to use my newly purchased Lush products than a good soak after some gardening? I now smell like a peach.
After my bath I found in the kitchen a bow of veggies and a saucepan of stock that my lovely Mama had prepared for me to begin cooking and teamed with some noodles- my what a tasty and healthy dinner. With the addition of a yummy chocolate mousse and berries for dessert of course.

Adventures

Have been on a few adventures lately and have decided to begin taking more and more photos and videos to document these lovely memories.
The pancake parlour has become a regular spot for food, talks, and scotch.
I've been dreaming about owning my own chic stick of red Chanel lipstick for years and finally went out and just bought it.
Searching for good coffee has become a mission. I have decided to enjoy coffee instead of using it as a stimulant. When I'm tired I'm going to eat an apple.
Met the cutest little kitten in the world..
Received a lovely copy of my favourite magazine, ordered in a collection of my favourite comics, and bought a book I would usually have passed by, and was affected by it beautifully.
Last edit of the course guide is in session.
Surrounding myself with gorgeously scented and colourful things to brighten my day when my mind needs a little bit of help.
Treated myself to a special big breakfast on my lunch break from work.
Have been wearing only pieces of jewellery of sentiment and drawing good vibes from them.
Have been to my favourite coffee spot twice this week and have bought a couple of incredible organic chocolate blocks.
Visited one of my old favourite shops and found a few lovely pieces.
Went for a film trip to dandenong and enjoyed the Lego movie sign with Emily and co.

Had a pretty coffee at the new coffee place near home- they have a gorgeous new quote written up each day.
Christmas time in the city!
Love buying gifts.
Lights!
And some yummy tea and dumplings for lunch!
