Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park

Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park
Surfside Cabin- number 11, is where I stayed this weekend just past.
My partner and I thought it would be a lovely little getaway and a great opportunity to spend some quality time with my 3 year old niece.
My niece is the perfect behaved little girl, so it was so easy to spend a whole weekend with her.

The Torquay Caravan Park is so unique because you are literally backed up on the Torquay surf beach. I wasn't quite sure how far our surf side cabins were from the beach, but as I started walking it took me about 30 seconds to realise we were right in front of the beach.
Morning strolls, afternoon swims and night walks along the beach are what makes the holiday so perfect. Weather this weekend wasn't fantastic, it was quit chilly! But that didn't stop us from enjoying the beach, how couldn't we!?

Our actual surf cabin was perfect for 3! I would only recommend having the 6 people stay (maximum guests) if you were out and about often, as it would be quite squishy. But the cabin had a nice toilet, a small but great bathroom, a dining/lounge room, the cutest kitchen (with all utensils needed), a man bedroom with wardrobe and of course the kids room with two double bunk beds.


 Heres a photo of our lovely cabin on the left, the right photo was our view towards the lake right next door. A perfect place for a morning job or bike ride.


Torquay is a lovely holiday destination, I personally think the best thing about torquay (besides the amazing beaches) is the takeaway places! Torquay has so many great places to eat, and a lot of hidden little cafes that aren't very known.
If you're not bothered by places to eat then shopping may be your thing! Surf brands like Rip Curl and Roxy, were all created in Torquay. So all of the biggest besets surf shops are in Torquay, as well as factory outlets you won't see any cheaper.

Torquay has just a lovely beach, chilled out vibe. Its honestly great for a weekend away. Whether you want to rent out your own house for a big family, or just stay somewhere a little cheaper but still relaxed at a caravan park.
For prices for the great Torquay foreshore Carvan park, have a look on their website!
Heres the beach that we are backed up on, known as the Surf beach in Torquay.

The BIG move

The BIG move...

A previous post of mine had talked about me making a big move... 
After weeks and weeks of thinking, I've finally decided to make the big move! This means moving an hour away from where I am now, leaving my boyfriend, friends, and living in a country town. 
Some people think its crazy, the massive sudden change. I mean moving to me isn't something small, its a huge thing. Changing your whole entire environment makes a huge impact on your life. 
But this move is for positive changes, focusing on myself and my wellbeing. I am so proud of myself for making this move and, for ME. 

Now currently living in the Western suburbs only half an hour from the city, I am now moving about 20 minutes out of Geelong to a country town called Inverleigh. Its such a big move because I've never lived in Geelong, and its going to mean learning the way around the huge city and surrounding suburbs. 

This move is a positive change because now I don't have too pay rent, which means I can work less hours and focus on my study! Study being my first priority at the moment, as I can not afford to fail. 
Downfalls of course is leaving my boyfriend. I mean an hour isn't that far away but it'll be a huge difference from just having him around the corner. But I know we will manage to work anything out, so I have a way more positive outlook on that situation. 

ANOTHER BIG POSITIVE IS IM SO SO EXCITED TO PIMP OUT MY NEW ROOM. 
I've become so into home decor and interior designing over the past month, I have a million ideas running through my head. 
I'm thinking bright white walls, indoor plants (big and green), all white furniture and a hippie sort of feel and look. Its going to be greaaaaat! 
Ikea, typo, urban outfitters, bunnings, target and k-mart are going to be my best friends. 

Goodbye for now, but stay in touch as I will be writing about the outcome of the big move and showing you all my room make over at my new house.. yay!

CONAIR true glow

CONAIR- True Glow 5x Magnification Mirror



Just launched, the Conair True Glow 5x Magnification Mirror
RRP: 29.95, 1 year warranty

Ideal for applying make up and to help you with your regular beauty regime.
It comes with incandescent lighting, which give off a soft halo effect, creating a beautiful gentle glow; Ideal for applying make up and to help maintain a glowing complexion and soft skin. 
It also comes with:

  • Circular lighting for surround vision
  • A removable head for flexibility and ease of use 
  • An adjustable mirror head for the correct viewing height 
How can this mirror get better? Well in addition its a compact travel size- perfect for on the go and can stand alone, thanks to an easel back. 

A beauty bloggers must have! 

I've been searching for a small desk mirror for my beauty blogging for a while now. 
But they're actually usually quite pricey, and I am on a budget!
But I had the awesome opportunity to review Conairs brand new Mirror.
It really is the best mirror for on my desk, it allows me to see my face up close and personal as clear as day. It makes applying make up and especially plucking eye brows so easy. 
I usually find myself leaning over my bathroom sink really close to the mirror applying my make up. But now when applying make up and especially for when I'm reviewing products, I sit at my desk and use the Conair mirror. 
The lighting in my study isn't always perfect, so the light on this mirror is great! 
It gives off a soft halo effect creating a beautiful, gentle glow. 

Its also the best mirror to travel with. Its so easy to take apart, and its the perfect compact travel size. 
Then when I'm doing my make up somewhere else, its easy to just rebuild. 
Honestly, there's nothing worse then not having a mirror to apply your make up. 
I've actually been in the situation where I've had too apply my make up without a mirror believe it or not my make up turned out alright, BUT it was the biggest struggle and took triple the time. 
Mind you, I was camping and in a tent hahaha. But this year when I do my yearly Echuca trip, I can now use my CONAIR mirror when applying my make up :)
The best thing about this mirror is its so affordable. Compared to other mirrors, $29.95 is extremely cheap!

Have a look at me playing with my new mirror!








DOVE- Pure Care Dry Oil

Pure Care Dry Oil 

My hair is so very important to me and like many others I try my best too look after it. 
But when using a lot of heat on my hair (straighteners, blow dryer) & especially after summer, my hair needs that extra bit of TLC!
Its so important too use those Nourishing Treatments on your hair often, to really help damaged hair. I used to be one that never used all those products on my hair, and just kept it natural. All though, I did straighten my hair often and occasionally blow dry my hair- using those plus being out in the sun really affects your hair. After a few visits at my hair dressers I finally got the point my hair dresser was telling me every time- I NEEDED NOURISHING HAIR TREATMENTS. 
Now I always leave some sort of dry oil, or leave in conditioner beside by bathroom sink, this reminds me to use it straight after I towel dry my hair. 

I have tried many different dry oils but find that it leaves my hair feeling and looking quite greasy. BUT Dove Pure Care Dry Oil didn't seem to have this affect on my hair at all. Apparently the treatment uses a unique formulation that is scientifically proven to absorb quickly and deeply into the hair strands, nourishing each one internally, as well as nourishing the hairs surface to give it a shiny, silky texture without feeling greasy. 



This is my hair after a few washes of Dove Pure Care Dry Oil. Hairs feeling and looking fabulous!







The product has the below key benefits;
  • Strength 
  • Smoothness
  • Detangling
Directions:
For the best results, rub 3 to 4 drops between the palms of your hands and apply to clean, damp hair evenly from mid-length to ends. Blow dry or leave to dry naturally. 
* Also use pre-shampoo as a nourishing treatment, or before styling to protect your hair control frizz. 


I've used this product probably about 2-3 times a week for the past week, and I have already noticed a big difference. My hair drys with a lot less frizz, its so silky too touch and most of all it just feels healthy!!! I think this is what my hair really needed after being out in the sun a lot in summer, especially the harsh sun in Bali. 
We often forget how much our hair really does get damaged, and how we need to really care and look after our hair. We are stuck with the one set of hair throughout our life, so look after it!

Available from: Coles, Woolworths, Priceline and selected pharmacies. 
RRP: $19.95/100 ml

KATE mascara Rimmel London

KATE mascara- Rimmel London.
 IDOL EYES. The first mascara by Kate Moss.
- Rock your lashes with 4 new gem-tone shades.
- Broken heart-shaped brush for voluminous lift.


Its always hard to find a mascara that you fall in love with. 
For me to really LOVE a mascara its all about the brush, the texture of the mascara and how much it volumes your lashes. 

My review for Kate mascara would probably be a 7/10. 
I love how long it makes my lashes but I am not a big fan of the texture  brush of the mascara. The texture of the mascara makes my lashes really clumpy and thick, which is the look some people for for but not me. 






When using Kate Mascara I use it as my last coat of mascara. 
So when applying mascara I usually use two different mascaras. The first mascara would a be light mascara with a very thin texture, and thin brussels on the brush. 
The second mascara being the thicker mascara that gives my lashes the volume and thickness. 
In this case my first mascara was WONER'FULL lashes by Rimmel London also. A mascara I LOVE, and use as my first coat every day. 
Its really what I like to describe as a "clump free" mascara. 

KATE mascara is then good for that last finishing touch to make the lashes look incredibly long and thick. BUT I found I had to be very careful with how much of the KATE mascara I used, as its very easy to make the lashes clumpy and too thick. 
Here is a before and after image that I love, it really shows the difference of my lashes. 
Just remember I do have blonde eye lashes so when applying mascara its important I really cover a lll of my lashes right down to the root.

Instagram Competitions

Thoughts on INSTAGRAM COMPETITIONS.


For the social media newbs, Instagram competitions are usually hosted by companies wanting to promote their brand. 
For instance, Lovisa Jewellery posted a competition the other week "REPOST TO WIN". This is where you are to repost the photo they've uploaded, follow the instagram account, tag the instagram account and hash tag #winlovisajewellery. 
This is often how all of the companies will do it too, and its actually a really smart idea. In this specific competition the prize was a $200 AUD prize pack of Lovisa jewellery! 

The reason the companies do these repost to win competitions is simply for promotion. Sometimes thousands of people will enter in these competitions  that means the post will be popping up in everyones newsfeed. The hash tag makes the repost even more popular and spreads the competition. Getting people to also follow the company, boosts their followers up and again, is more promotion. 

Now a lot of people think that these competitions are silly and no one ever wins... But oh I am telling you people win! 
Guess who the winner of the Lovisa prize pack was.... ME :)! 
Yay, I am very excited and can't wait for my prize pack to arrive.


But the moral of this post is, ENTER INSTAGRAM COMPETITIONS. You can win amazing things from these competitions, an yes you can win! 
I am one to often post competitions on my blog instagram, for simple things such as a re-post and you can win tickets to shows an such. 
Sometimes I don't get many people at all entering, so your chance of winning is massive. 
This isn't the first time I've won a competition for re-posting, I've won a huge supplement pack before as well. 
My sister is one of those lucky people that wins SO much, just from entering these competitions  But I guess the more competitions you enter, the more likely you are to win one. I'm one of those people that enters every holiday and win a car competions, hahaha! I swear one day I am going to win a holiday or car. 

SO pleas oh please, enter away. 
I am a strong believer of Competitions :)

Blogging 101

BLOGGING 101.
Lately I've been asked by a lot of people how to get into blogging.
Just today I was asked by someone who said "I've seen you post about blogging! It looks so interesting, how do I get into it?"
Some people are generally interested in the whole Blogging situation, but some are interested in the wrong things...

Well to begin with, a lot of people only think its interesting because they see the things I get sent, the "Freebies". But they aren't exactly freebies.... In exchange for the things I get sent, I need to REVIEW the product or event. Its not just as simple as it sounds, it really does take talent.
Yes, thats right... Talent!

To be a successful blogger you need the talent to be able to write well. For me writing is a passion, so it really is a hobby for me! It also includes the need for communication skills, knowledge on brands and of course- honesty!!

Besides all of the "freebies", blogging can be very time consuming and at sometimes stressful.
When bombarded with products and events to review, you are expected too post a review not long after. A good review takes time, research and honest opinions. Sometimes to write a review it can take me up to an hour!
Taking into consideration that I also study & work part time, it can be hard to find a lot of time for Blogging.
But blogging for me is a complete hobby, I love it!
I love that people can depend on me for an honest opinion on a specific product or event.
When people come to me and ask me what my thoughts on something is, or read my reviews, its just the best feeling.
I've always wanted to be some sort of journalist or even an author, but I'm really not that confident in my writing. So blogging is the perfect opportunity to get things off of my chest and really express my thoughts on things! I have future goals, and one day I wish to take blogging full time. This goal is my why, its why I keep blogging and what makes me motivated to keep it going.

So in summary, if you're completely interested in Blogging and you think that you have what it takes, then give it a go. But my advice for you all is do not go into blogging because you think its all about the "Freebies", because you will not get anywhere.
But I wish you all good luck & if you are genuine feel free to ask me any questions :)

Scentrelle- Reverse time face serum



Luxurious skincare derived from nature 


Reverse time face serum
Its always fun reviewing a product from a brand you've never tried before. 
Scentrelle is a completely new brand for me, and I was asked to review their "Reverse time face serum". 
I am not one to usually use face serums or night moisturises and thats probably why my face gets extremely dry sometimes. But I've made a promise to myself, to start looking after my face more! 
So here it goes, the start of looking after my face!


WHAT IS IT?

A natural face serum packed with natural feather light oils your skin will love. Fragrance Free heavy duty treatment to help restore your skins healthy balance.

WHAT IS IT FORMULATED TO DO? 

100% natural, Scentrelle reverse time face serum is luxurious, lightweight and fast absorbing for smooth velvety skin. Formulated with hydrating anti-aging ingredients including; Tsubaki oil (Japanese Camellia), Maracuja Oil, Rosehip and Caffeine. These help to restore skin elasticity, firmness and provide a natural youthful glow.

I have used this face serum for a few consecutive days now, 
and I can already notice a huge difference. 
My face is feeling a lot smoother and a lot less dry, 
and I never want to put make up on!
Now this serum isn't just a night serum, but you can also apply it before you put your make up on in the morning. I have been using it twice a day- 
Once in the morning and once before bed. 
My face seem to glow all of the time now and I've even been complimented about it. 


How to Use:
-Apply one to two pumps in morning prior to makeup or at night for a luxurious overnight treatment.
- If you have oily skin type (Kapha) we recommend using at night only for a deep   treatment
-Blend with your primer or foundation for instantly visible radiance.
-Recommended for all skin types.
CAUTION: Do not use this product on or around the eye area

Im not entirely sure why I was always skeptical about using face serums and why I never had tried them earlier. But when picking a fantastic natural brand like Scentrelle, I've really noticed an extreme difference in my face. I would recommend this serum to anyone that wants to look after their face and maybe turn back some time... 
Check out Scentrelles website for more amazing products;

Heres a photo after using the serum for a couple of days! This is what I mean by a glow.... Only a little bit of make up being worn in this photo and no filter or edit used at all.

Look after your face & love your face xo

Jabra Sport Pulse- First thoughts

JABRA SPORT PULSE


 The all-in-one solution geared towards improving your performance. 

Best of the best. 
These ear phones have blown me away.
I will let you in on a big secret;
I thought Beats by Dre were the best things ever! 
After I reviewed them I could't stop raving on about them..
But I could almost say Jabra Sport Pulse ear phones are.. BETTER. 
Yep I said it. 
Why?

Because are Beats by Dre wireless? 
Do they have in-ear heart rate monitor?
Do they track your workout?
Count your calories?
Do they have a personal app which gives you fitness tests?
My questions are endless and the answer is no.. 
Jabra Sport Pulse does all of the above and more, 
they are truly the best of the best technology. 


So I received my amazing headphones yesterday, and due to having to rush off to work I only got to play with them for about half an hour. This allowed me to set the device up and test them for a little while.
Firstly I had to pair the wireless ear phones to my mobile device (iPhone), 
which took less than a minute. I then downloaded the Jabra app, and Sport app which allow 
you to do all sorts of things with your wireless head phones. 

But before testing out all of the amazing things my ear phones could do I just wanted to simply hear the sound out of them. 
The sound that the Jabra ear phones have are just... amazing. 
They have the best Dolby Digital sounds, the world around me was completely shut off and I couldn't hear a thing! 
An thats exactly what you want when you're having a huge workout and you just want to focus on yourself and your goals. 
For now, I've just tested these ear phones, but please look out for plenty more posts/reviews on the Jabra Sport Pulse. 
I will be trying these properly on my upcoming workouts, and I can't wait to share my thoughts with you! 


HOW TO:
1. How to wear 
The earphones must be correctly fitted to enable accurate heart rate detection. If your heart rate cannot be detected, try a different esrgel size or earning. View the Fitting guide on the Jabra Sport life app. 
Select the correct eargel size
For the optimal audio experience, try each of the different ear gel sizes. The fit should feel tight and secure in your ear. Sizes are; Large, Medium, Small and extra small. 
(Same goes with selecting the correct earwig)

2. How to connect
1. Turn on Bluetooth on your mobile phone.
2. Press and hold the Multi Function button on the controller until the indicator light on the right ear bud flashes blue. Release the button.
3. Follow the voice guided connection instructions to connect to your bluetooth device. 

Charing
Pull back the EarWing on the right earphone to expose the USB charging port. It takes approx 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery.

Sunsilk- Perfect Straight

Sunsilk- PERFECT STRAIGHT




My Hair to me is so important. I try my hardest too look after it as much as possible! But sometimes this means I need to lay off the straightener, as  it really just burns your hair and does no good. 

So this is when Sunsilks Perfect Straight comes in. A shampoo and Conditioner thats designed to leave your hair as straight as it is when its wet! You know when after a shower and your hair goes perfectly straight and you're like daaaam. But then as soon as your hair dries it goes all goofy... Well that doesn't happen at all with Perfect Straight!

Its important for me to swap Shampoo & Conditioners often, but I need something that doesn't leave my roots feeling greasy straight after my hairs been washed. I've had quite a problem with this for a while, and I've been on the hunt for some good Shampoo and Conditioners. 

After testing Sunsilk Perfect straight with my hair, I've found its perfect. Not only does it leave your hair straight without having to straighten it, but it also leaves it feeling silky and smelling delicious... Yep I said Delicious. 
I can honestly notice when people have washed their hair with Sunsilk because their hair just smells beautiful! 
Here's my hair after using Sunsilk Perfect Straight, Isn't it perfectly straight! No straightener involved.... 


Heres the Shampoo D=described a little better on Sunsilks website;


SHAMPOO

Its breakthrough Straight-Lock technology to actively control and hold every strand perfectly aligned as it dries. It penetrates deep within the hair fibre, reducing frizz and straightening strands, keeping them fully aligned as they dry*.

How to use:
1) PREPARE with Straight-Lock ShampooUntitled
Apply a coin-sized amount of shampoo (more for very long or thick hair)
  • Using only your fingertips (try not to scratch with your nails), massage to a thick lather on the scalp, not the ends
  • Allow the lather to gently run through the lengths of your hair to detangle from roots down
  • Rinse thoroughly
2) LOCK IN with Straight-Lock Conditioner
Apply a coin-sized amount, starting at the tips and ends where it is most neededUntitled2
  • Avoid touching the scalp so that the pores can breathe
  • Use a wide toothed comb to detangle and then rinse

RIMMEL LONDON Velvet Matte Nail Polish

RIMMEL LONDON
Velvet Matte 

Sumptuous Nail Colour with a Velvet Matte Finish
• Luxuriously opulent must-have shades of the season!
• Say BYE BYE high shine…and HELLO to REAL NAIL MATTITUDE!
• Drying to a velvety matte finish…simply matte-nificent!



Black nail polish is my thing, but then again so is matte nail polish... Put the two together and you have my favourite nail polish atm! 
Rimmel London have had some fantastic products as of lately so I was extremely excited to try their new Velvet Matte nail polish! 
The black is called "MATTE-ITUDE" 017, and Velvet Matte also comes in 4 more colours. 
But nothing else quite appealed to me more than the Matte-itude. Theirs nothing better then a black nail polish for a busy week full of events. Black literally goes with every outfit imaginable, its a life saver colour! 









So its quite obvious I was excited to try this nail polish out. But theirs a check list of things that I go through when trying a nail polish. This is the things I look out for; 

  • Brush- Is the brush thick or thin, is it easy to cover the nail?
  • Drying time- A nail polish that drys quick is a must.
  • Chip- Simple, does the nail polish chip almost straight away?
  • Coats- Is the nail polishes texture thick of really runny, how many coats do you have to apply?
When taking these things into consideration its really easy to decide whether or not a nail polish is good or not. Rimmel london always seem to tick the boxes. 

Velvet Matte Nail Polish' brush was perfect. Very thick so it covers most of your nail, and you're not having to spend heaps of time applying the nail polish. 
Drying time was probably the best factor. It dried before a minute, it was so quick. 
Chipping was probably the only thing that disappointed me slightly. I'm not sure if it was because I was very hands on at work, but after one day of having the nail polish on it had chipped quite a bit. But like I said that could just be my fault! 
As for Coats, I tend to always put 2 coats of nail polish on just to be sure. With matte nail polish its also important to make sure you have a thick coat on so its properly matte all over.
TIP: Have a look at acrylic rounded nails with Velvet Matte. My sister recently had this look and it looked amazing. She had three quarters of her nail done in Matte and then the tip (almost like a french tip) in a glossy black. Looked brilliant!!

My review on this product is extremely positive. I recommend purchasing the Velvet Matte polish by Rimmel London 100%. I love the matte look! Yes shiny is good, but matte seems to be the new fashion & you have to keep up with fashion of course... 
Velvet Matte can be purchased from stores such as; 
Big W, Coles, Priceline, My Chemist Warehouse. 


NOTE: Please excuse my dodgy nail polish home job. I am not quite a professional at applying, hahaha. I have my bad application days...

Klika- Ceramic Knife Set





I love having the opportunity to review products from websites I've never heard about! The unheard websites, turn out to be the best ones.
When I was asked to have a look on the Klika website and see if anything appealed to me, I was like a little kid in a candy store. 
Klika have everything! 
Their main categories are;
  • Living 
  • Fitness 
  • Trade 
  • Outdoor 
  • Music
Klika delivers world wide and delivers very quickly I must say! 

Firstly I reviewed the Ceramic Knife set in White.

Features:

  • 6 inch ceramic knife
  • 5 inch ceramic knife
  • 4 inch ceramic knife
  • 3 inch ceramic knife
  • Ceramic peeler
  • Knife Holder
  • RRP. $32.95
  • Ceramic knives are renowned for their sharpness and durability. With a unique non-porous blade manufactured from zirconium oxide - a material tougher than hardened steel - the ceramic blade knife remains sharper, holding its edge much longer than steel. Ceramic knives resist stains and cannot rust, remaining easy to clean, bacteria free, and are non-magnetic.These stylish knives feature an ergonomic handle, excellent balance and light weight. This set is complemented by a ceramic peeler, and an elegant acrylic knife block for storage and easy access.

  • I love cooking and preparing food, so the knife set was a must pick! 
Surprisingly, I have never ever used ceramic knives, so I was quite excited to try.
That night I was cooking a chicken pasta dish, and the chicken hadn't fully defrosted. 
So this was a perfect opportunity to see if the ceramic knives were good or not. 
An well... They weren't good, they were great! 
The blade was so sharp and the actual knifes themselves are really light. 
I loved using them, they were absolutely fantastic. 
An to be honest with you, I haven't STOPPED using them since. 
My old knifes have found their permanent home in the bottom draw, never to be seen again. 

My favourite thing about these knifes, is they look so stylish in my kitchen. 
Unlike normal knifes, they seriously look a lot more modern & appealing. 

How pretty are they! 
As soon as I unpackaged them I had to give them a test trial. 
So I got some onion out and had to see if this blade was as good as described on the website- and it was. 
I really think I'll stay with ceramic knifes forever now.
They're quality is so much better and the fact that they don't rust is fantastic. 
An how can you go wrong with just $32.95 for a 6 pc set.
