November Favourites Video

I made my very first favourites video this week. I hope you like it! It's something I've wanted to do for so long and I'm so glad I took the plunge. Please let me know what you think (but be kind!) as I would love to make this a regular thing on the blog but I know I need a little practise!

(If anyone knows how to change the start image thingy, please let me know! What a good head!)

Now, I share a lot of Arbonne products in this video. As you know from my life update post, I'm now an Arbonne Independent Consultant! This isn't the reason I'm sharing these products though, I just honestly am in love with them and think they're the best things I've ever used!

Things I love Tuesday v.3

So, I've missed a few, but I'm back with some more lovely things to share this week! Only a handful since I marked all posts as read I'm still catching up on posts after being gone so long, but still some lovely things to look at!

Firstly, this video by Zoella. Cuteness overload! Warning: it will make you clucky!

SOOOO obsessed with Bonne Chance Collections! I want this dress to wear for Christmas.

 Who doesn't want a pink and lilac kitchen?

Molly blows me away with her macaron skills! These ones are lavender and earl grey!

In honour of Movember and because who doesn't want a moustache on their tea cup?

Umm, strawberry cheesecake chimichangas? Yes please! We used to make cheese cake chimichangas at the mexican place I worked at. They are so good!

Harry Potter Meme of the Week:

Tehe, I love it! Two of the greatest movies of all time merged into one! 

What are you loving this week?

Things I Love Tuesday v.1

I've decided that "Love From the Interwebs" doesn't really cut it as a feature, because from time to time, I may want to share other things with you all. So, after just one week, this little feature has been renamed and given a new breath of life. And on to the things...

I am LOVING the fact that Tommy Franklin, AKA Salty Rain Man, AKA Byron Bay's very own Dancing Man got into the finals of Australia's Got Talent. For years Tommy has been putting smiles on the faces of everyone who has the pleasure of seeing him dancing around Byron Bay, and I'm so glad that he is able to spread those smiles to everyone in Australia. Check out and the Splendour in the Grass ad that he was the star of here, and I dare you not to smile while you watch!

Kaelah's DIY Geometric Glitter Wall is to die for! Ever since seeing this, I go to bed at night wondering how the heck I'm going to convince Jake to let me do this one day. He has already agreed happily to make me the tea cup lights from this post, so I don't want to push my luck!

Everything about this outfit. Oh, also - the fact that I am finally feeling comfortable and confident with my personal style. Girly florals, pastels, frills and all!

Ella, the Queen of Cake, made a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. I am so excited to give the recipe a go!

Pastel hair. Especially this shade of pink.

Harry Potter Meme of the Week:

This one was picked out especially for Becky.

Also Loving:

♥ This open letter to Miley Cyrus by AriZona Iced Tea is absolutely freaking amaze balls.

♥ I got a cute little email today telling me that I won a 25 pound (I don't have the symbol for it on my Aussie keyboard) voucher to The Oriental Magpie in Erica's Birthday Giveaway!

♥ This is the most beautiful HONY story ever!
♥ Lipstick and nail polish - my two new obsessions thanks to blogging, and especially thanks to Ella.
♥ Oh, and only 11 more days until I get to move home!!!

Love From the Interwebs

One of my favourite things in the world is Leona's Wednesday Loves posts, because we both have such similar taste. I know these type posts aren't uncommon, but the fact that I love discovering and sharing new things so much means that I've decided to jump on the copycat bandwagon. BUT I am going o give myself a limit of five things to share each week and try to make them different from each other. Oh, and there will always be at least one thing related to Harry Potter. So, without further ado!

These tea cup lights are so cute! I'm saving this project for when I own my own home, and have enough power over Jake to convince him to make them for me. They'd be great mood lighting! Since Pinterest didn't have a proper link to the DIY with instructions, I guess I can count myself lucky that my boyfriend is a sparky. These lights will be mine someday!

This house tour with Andrea McArdle on A Beautiful Mess is just like a vision of my perfectly decorated home! Who isn't into the mid-century look these days? Besides, I'm about to move and the most excited part of moving is redecorating! If only I had a couch that awesome!

My friend Darci sent me this pin, and the caption was "After the Battle of Hogwarts, the Dementors had to start taking more drastic approaches.."I think it's so clever and funny! I probably wouldn't think it was funny if I was the poor girl lying on the ground with no soul, though!

I can so relate to this meme. Pinterest, thou art an expensive bitch. 

Last of all, how delicious do these sugar cookie bars look? They reming me of 100's and 1000's biscuits which I always used to beg mum to buy me as a kid. I can't remember the amount of times my sister and I snuck them into the shopping trolley. Mum used to get so pissed at us because they're basically just sugar and they're quite expensive. I'll have to give this recipe a go to relive childhood memories. Although it calls for shortening and I have no idea what that is, except there's a song about shortening bread which mum used to sing to us as kids. 

My favourite sewing blogs!

Does anyone else hate sewing without their serger? I find it almost impossibe to operate without it and mine is simply not co-operating at the moment! The unfinished projects are piling up, and every single thing that I thought I would have finished by now to show you, is sitting limp and lifeless on the ping-pong table which I use as a cutting space. That is why I decided to compile a list of my favourite sewing blogs to show you. These blogs are simply amazing - they are where I draw the majority of my inspiration from and are jam-packed with good ideas! Well, I hope you like them as much as I do, and please forgive me for not having any new projects for you - I swear it's my serger's fault!

The Mother Huddle - This wonderful group of women follow an editorial calendar which corresponds to the days of the week - Make It Monday for example. They describe The Mother Huddle as being about sharing, and boy do they share some great things! From sewing projects, to kids crafts, to beauty and lifestyle posts, The Mother Huddle has it all! They also post some great tutorials for DIY projects and sewing - very detailed and easy to follow!

 Girl. Inspired. - Stef does soooo many great projects, mostly centred around her kids and is such a great writer! Everything she makes is beautiful and she photographs it all so well! She describes her                  blog as "a little collection of the things that make [her] happy" and I can honestly say that her posts make me happy too!

Sewing In No Mans Land - The effort which Kelly goes to when styling the photos for her blog will absolutely amaze you! She is a wonderful photographer as well as a great seamstress/crafter and looking at her blog is an absolute treat!

Little Pink Monster - Natasha at Little Pink Monster has such a relaxed and easy-going blogging vibe that it's quite easy to get wrapped up in her life as you read! Her sense of humour shows in her posts and makes reading her blog extremely enjoyable, and her crafts (again mostly things for her kids) are great!

Cotton and Curls - I can't even begin to explain why I love this blog - the fashion, the refashions, the endless great ideas? I don't know, but I love it and you should love it too! Also, I have no idea what the blogger's name is but she is super beautiful! She looks great in all the things she makes, i'll be stoked if I look half as great in the finished product when I get around to doing some of her projects!

Well, there you go - my favourite sewing blogs! I am sure i will find many more in time to come that deserve a place on this list, but for now, five seems like a nice, succinct number and I'm off to go clubbing with some friends :)
