It's time to push through the Winter blues


I had the day off today and decided to go for a drive and get a hot chocolate at the cafe near my house but to my surprise there was no parking at all so I had to park far away and go for a walk. It was freezing and I was starting to complain to myself about winter I had to stop myself from this because let's be honest for a minute, complaining only magnifies the situation and makes it look a lot bigger than what it really is. I had to remind myself that complaining about winter will not make it spring and it will not make me warm. So I decided to embrace the cold and I went for a longer walk! During this walk I did some thinking and I learnt that every season is very important. It may look like the plants are dead during the winter but they are resting and getting prepared to bloom and shine during spring. I think that is how it goes with life it may look like the "season" we are in is horrible cold and dark but we need to embrace every moment and make the most out our time because spring is coming. Let's use what we have learnt in previous seasons to bloom in the next season instead of being discouraged. It's time to enjoy the journey because every day counts and you never know what you have learnt from the past may help someone else who is going through the situation =)

Creative Gift Ideas


I have a good friend's birthday coming up and I had NO idea what to buy her!
So I thought it would be nice to make her a scarf because Winter has just started over here and she always admires the scarfs and hats I  crochet

It's really easy to learn how to crochet there are a lot of great websites that you can look
I use Youtube to learn new tips and tricks and there are videos that will teach you the basics and will teach you new patterns and designs


This is  A LOT of fun! Once you master the scarf you can easily learn how to make patches for a blanket

If you have any questions about crocheting please leave a comment and I'll get back to you

Keep your lipstick on your lips and off your cup



One of the things I hate is going out with friends for dinner and my lipstick comes off on my glass
I feel so uncomfortable because I see the mark for the rest of the night
I have learnt a trick!
I know this will sound slightly strange
Lick your glass before you drink this will keep your lipstick on your lips where it belongs =)

Fitzroy Adventures



I had lunch with a close friend on Sunday and had some time to kill so I thought it would be fun to explore Fitzroy. Fitzroy is only 2km away from central Melbourne. This place can be very odd but fun at the same time. It's a great place to check out art galleries, cafes, restaurants, shops and vintage stores.




One of my favourite place is the Clear It outlet store http://www.clearitonline.com.au/
 This place is HUGE!!! 
They have top brands available there Alannah HIll, Dangerfield, Princess Highway and much more


One of the great things about this store is that you can buy fabric from the designers and it's a really good price.
When I was studying at fashion school most of my fabrics came from there


This is a great place to update your wardrobe 

Happy shopping everyone!
