So there you have it, a brief preview for you. Until later my loves!

A Disney Day Out...

Hello Everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, I definitely did. It was a long weekend here in New Zealand, and while this doesn't really affect me (the joys of not doing much, although good news to come below!) it did mean I got to spend the day with the family wandering around in the sun.

However the big highlight of my weekend was road tripping up to Auckland with Rachel, to meet some of the other Disney girls who will be heading to Florida with us come August. In the end five of us attended the little meeting, which turned out perfectly!

We started by polishing off a huge New York style pizza, which I felt was quite fitting for the event

Then we picked up some Starbucks and headed down to the water to have some fun. Auckland was buzzing with festivals for us to enjoy so we went down to the Silo Park Markets and enjoyed the buskers, live bands, and beautiful weather!

Megan, Kate, Rachel, and I

There we all are (except Sunnie who had to leave early)! I had a blast meeting all the girls, and we all got a long so well, which is encouraging for our future trip! I am looking forward to our next meet-up. Hopefully with a few new people, and in Tauranga so we can show off our city!

Thank you Auckland, and thank you lovely ladies! Until next time x

Never Drink Out of a Parrot...

I come to you today baring advice.

Never drink out of a parrot.

I attended one of my best friends 21st parties Saturday night, and it was an interesting night to say the least. It started off like this...

And ended... Well lets just say it ended messy.

So a little advice.

• Don't drink out of a parrot.
• Don't drink wine through a straw (this one is quite important)
• Don't drink on an empty stomach. You will be too drunk later to grab any snacks.

Your welcome. Now in saying that. I had an awesome night, with some awesome people. So maybe drinking out of a parrot is a good thing. Just don't do all three points in one night.

Weekend Highlights

This weekend was a mix of excitement and exercise. Its started off with a fabulous wedding.

My friend from High School Christine got married to her love Jacob in a gorgeous ceremony at their church. It was beautiful and there were a few teary moments (mainly when Jacob sang her a song) and it was good to see some of my friends again. It really was a lovely day.

Sunday then brought a day of exercising. Over my two years flatting I ate extremely unhealthily, I was cooking for just me, and I'm not very good at cooking in the first place. So frozen meals and oven-fry chips were a lot easier for me. 

Now I am paying for it. I can't quite fit my old jeans. I'm not comfortable wearing shorts out of the house. So I'm changing things. Luckily for me my mum is already a bit of a health nut, so eating healthy should be quite easy. The exercising part I am taking into my own hands. I have been walking, doing pilates with friends, and doing TV workouts that make exercising much more fun! I also plan to start running as I want to do the Colour Run while I am in Orlando next year! So it's all go around here! You guys need to hold me accountable ok?

I'm still busy looking for a job, but I'm also taking time to relax and enjoy the end of university. Its important to slow things down sometimes, right? Enjoy your weeks :) Do you have anything exciting coming up?

Oh Lordy...

I am exhausted.

See over there on my sidebar it says I'm a Theatre Kid? That doesn't just mean I enjoy theatre, I study it.

And today I spent ALL day packing in for my final performance. ALL DAY on a Sunday no less!

So now I plan on sleeping for eternity. Or at least until tomorrow when I have to go back for the tech rehearsal.

Man I wish I could be this cat!

It seems somewhat unfair that there is only one week left of uni, and I still have six assignments to complete...

On the bright side I have been working on three lovely ladies blog designs, and I think I am narrowing down on pricing so I will be available to do more very soon! If you are interested, check out my design page and let me know :) I would love to work with you!

I have also been obsessively reading Disney ICP Blogs and getting overexcited when I don't really have time to. I am already counting down!! (296 days to go!)

This is going to be short and sweet kids. I need to sleep. Or drink coffee. Probably coffee as I have more work to do.

If you never hear from me again, its probably because I have spontaneously combusted. Just know I love you all!!

(dramatic much?)

A Day on the Farm

I visited my Dad this weekend, and he lives on a small farm just out of town. He told me they had picked up a few new animals recently so I was quite excited to see them! In addition to two new cows (who were unfortunately hiding while I was out with my camera) there were four teenage (not baby lambs, but not quite sheep) lambs for me to visit!

My favourite of all the lambs was Sparky...

He used to be someone elses pet lamb before we got him, so he was quite friendly. It took him a little while to warm up to me but once he did, we were besties! Look at that face! (not mine, his!)

Unfortunately Sparky probably wont be with us long, you can probably guess what will happen, I'm going to choose to ignore it! But it was a lot of fun hanging in the paddocks over the weekend, though I'm a city girl at heart, I do love me some country living!

And just to end the post on an adorable note and hopefully make you all go "naaaaaaw"...

Big hello to all my new followers! I can't wait to get to know you guys :)

Until next time

Two Sides of Happiness...

I love the warmth and glow of summer and the comforting closeness of winter. 

This weekend I got to have both.

Saturday brought sun. I did three loads of laundry, hung it all out, read my book in the sun, went for a walk and felt hot. It was like summer was on the way. I felt relaxed, light and happy. It was gorgeous.

Its Sunday now and I'm sitting inside wrapped in a blanket, drinking hot coffee and watching movies. And outside the rain is pouring down.Its comforting, relaxing, cozy. I'm warm and happy.

 There are so many different ways to feel happy, does your mood change depending on the weather? Or are you like me and enjoy the comforts of both? Enjoy your weekends loves. I'm feeling very content right now.

Home Sweet Home, Thank God.

Phew. 

Man it is good to be home. I have been non-stop busy for the last two weeks and I'm glad to get to come home for the weekend and have someone else cook for me and do my laundry. Small pleasures at this point guys. Small pleasures. However now that I'm home I'm feeling like I'm on holiday which is bad because I still have an assignment to finish by Sunday at the latest. Eep.

This particular assignment has involved a lot of googling After Effects tutorials, yelling at After Effects, yelling at my laptop, trying to avoid yelling at my lecturer... Basically a lot of yelling. And stressing. Gah! And hangin out in this room that has no windows and makes people (erm, me.) go a tad crazy after sitting in it for 4 hours...

and staring at this screen, full of complicated buttons and video footage.

But while I'm home I have a lot of sleep to catch up on, two 21sts to attend (one being LMFAO themed which I assume will be HIGH-larious! Still need to find a costume...) and lots of watching Lost and snuggling with my cat. Can't wait!

Hope you enjoy your weekends as much as I am going to!!
