Dinner with my favs

 Coco Monde; Darby Street Newcastle

 (Highly Recommended)

Why Chocolate?

 Because it tastes good!

It contains caffeine .. enough said  

A chocolate bar contains more calcium, protein and B2 vitamin than a banana or an orange..

Dark chocolate can lower blood pressure and cholesterol & helps as an anti-depressant

My mother suffers from high blood pressure, an since testing the theory of dark chocolate. It has proven right, she can deffently notice the difference after a couple of days of having a couple pieces each day! So there you go!

home sweet home

There is nothing like that feeling of getting home, into your pj's and just vegging out on junk food whilst watching your favourite shows. An that is exactly what I will be doing this weekend!

Wow! What an exhausting week, all is I want to do is just relax for five minutes. It has been crazy, last weekend we ended up heading to Sydney for a shopping trip. It was amazing!! We went to some outlets, DFO outlets at Homebush and Ikea! Besides the fact that I only had approximately 3 hours sleep the night before, as you can imagine I was downing the coffees pretty quickly!

I must say, Ikea was amazing, unbelievable.. massive.. You would probably need about 2 hours to get through everything. Ikea is really good for the normal house hold items from kitchenware, furniture to home decor. Highly recommended. The only thing I was dissapointed in was that I didn't get to try the famous "Ikea Meatballs" We ended up heading getting home about 9.00. By this time the coffee was wearing off and I desperately was in need of some sleep.

I went motorbike riding with my brother the next day, even though I was exhausted. I still went. But I always have heaps of fun when I head out. There is no point in sitting at home inside whilst the sun is out!!

I have been crazy flat out with work this week, an seriously thinking of changing my career. I work in the Admin field an some parts of my job I love, but it really isn't enough anymore. I want to do something that is challenging, something that makes people smile, something that makes me feel at the end of each day that I have made someone else's day or that I have made a difference somehow.. But what it is, I really don't know yet. My inspiration to help:

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

After my crazy week, I could not think of anything better than just having a quiet weekend at home and spending some time with my lovely family. Who do make a difference to my world an always know how to make me smile. On a happy note, mum just brought in a cup of tea and some chocolates from David Jones. Yum Yum, I love mum so much :) I am so lucky to have her.

enjoying the small things in life

1/ There is nothing more satisfying than my morning coffee - deffently completes my day

2/ Laying in bed watching a good dvd with a cup of tea
3/ Going for a run along the foresure, looking out to the lake and think how beautiful life is!
4/ When you hear a song you absolutly love that comes on the radio
5/ Enjoying a beer and a game of pool at the local
6/ Someone that walks past and gives you a big smile, its a nice feeling

7/ Wednesday nights at my sister-in laws for dinner, always something to look forward too
8/ Finishing work early
9/ Playing with my beautiful niece and nephew
10/ The sound of rain when laying in bed


What are some of the small things in your life that really make a difference to your day?

my weekend

Every weekend gets easier, who would have thought that two months ago everything was falling apart. But it's not falling apart, it just keeps getting better and better. There are so many things I have to look forward to that I am actually really excited about! Last weekend was amazing...

Friday night we celebrated my cousins birthday starting at Warners at the Bay followed by drinks at the local Warners Bay tavern. I met so many amazing new people, and caught up with old friends I hadn't seen in awhile. I was feeling pretty good about myself, but this may be to do with the amount of alcohol that was consumed. I was confident, flirty and friendly. This was one of the best nights out I have had in awhile. Luckily I got home before the big storm came over at about 3 in the morning (Saturday).

Saturday/ I actually slept in. Which was a good feeling considering I didn't get to sleep until 3am. Although I had the biggest headache I still believe that those drinks were worth the headache Ha! I ended up going out for lunch at Lenas at Warners Bay with my lovely mother, auntie and nan. Our local cafe which has the most amazing food, and really friendly owners. A beautiful cafe that you just would not change a thing. I ended up at Wests that night with a few of my friends mexican and chocolate bar - it just couldn't get any better!

 My sister-in law, niece and nephew visited the Darby Street Fair on Sunday which was a beautiful day to get out of the house. I bought some cute new sunglasses! and we got some hair clips for my niece Ebonie! I also bought myself a motorbike, "crazy I know". My brother I think was more excited than me. Ha I just can't wait to take it for a ride next Sunday! This was then followed by Max Brenner with my cousin. Yum Yum!

Wow busy weekend or what? And it's only going to get more busy heading towards Christmas.

I just haven't been able to wipe my smile off my face since Friday night! Now that always means something good! Blondie

if you love someone, set them free

You know when you are looking forward to something and it is a huge let down. Sort of like when you plan something for new year’s eve or a big event for your weekend and your so excited but it’s just a huge let down. Something always dramatic happens and then the night will end in disappointment. That is how my long weekend ended. In one weekend, my whole prospect on my life and what I want can completely change.. Forever. Who is important, and who no longer is.. Besides the fact that it pretty much rained all weekend. Some parts of my weekend were really nice.  

Friday/ Yay let my long weekend begin, get out of work early. I spent Friday night at my friends for a beautiful dinner an oh so yummy desert. Chocolate coated strawberry's and banana bread - enough said.

Saturday/ Markets Markets Markets! The one thing you will get to know about me is that I love going to the markets an always try to make it to all the ones held in my town or near by. Me, my sister-in law and beautiful niece an nephew visited the Olive Tree Markets at The Junction (usually held the first sat of every mth)
Followed by dinner/ beers with one of my good mate at Edgy Tav for thai. Pretty much the local there.

Sunday/ when it all fell apart! when you have to ask yourself where do I fit in anymore? Who are my true friends? Why does everything bad happen to me. When's my life going to start. But it has. I can only rely on few, but they know who they are. Take note, never be in a relationship with someone that you have all the same friends it makes it difficult when things end, and people have to choose. It is just an unfortunate thing.

Thankfully, my Sunday was saved. My two best friends/ sister-in laws. We had a beautiful fondue, it was really nice to forget all the stuff that happened. It just didn't matter anymore. I know who is important in my life, and apart me this weekend realised that I should hang out with the people who make me happiest.

They say: "If you love something set it free" A well known saying which in my opinion means if it comes back to you it's yours, if it doesn't it wasn't meant to be. Friendships, Love. Things happen for a reason, if someone truly cares.. they will come back.
