THANK YOU & FAREWELL

19 Sept 2011

As this is my 95th post and last one for this blog, I would like to thank those that have enjoyed reading my blog & the pics that go with it. It seems like a good place to stop as I know that it is time to move on as I have not been actively posting in the last couple of months.

Contagious network for St Ives green tea skincare range

4th June 2011

St Ives... in my mind is synonymous to their apricot scrub that I have been using over the years. So as part of the Contagious Network I was lucky enough to receive heaps of samples of the green tea scrub and a bottle of the green tea cleanser.

It's been many years since I've used the apricot scrub mainly because my skin has adapted to it and haven't found another product that I can use every day to reduce the break outs on my skin.

The good news with the new green tea skincare range is that the green tea scrub contains 1% salicylic acid and the green tea cleanser contains 2% salicylic acid. I've been using it for the last couple of weeks and there has been a good improvement with my skin. It has just the right amount of salicylic acid as the last thing you need is for your skin to dry out, considering it is now winter.

IRL (in real life -> forum speak)

20 March 2011

Speaking of forums, regardless of which ones you read, there's always plenty of information & people from all walks of life share that common interest.

Over the last couple of weeks I was looking forward to creating this post. At the time of thought, it would of been appropriate to sum up my observations of the forums that I frequent.

I suppose now, it doesn't matter anymore because it's irrelevant.

Water across the Ipswich motorway.

Unfortunately for IP#4...

Blunder Road, heading towards the Oxley roundabout to Ipswich motorway.

Flooding has joined the golf course as well.

Our thoughts are with the flood victims & their families during this difficult time. Mother nature can be brutal & ruthless at the same time. It's been raining like crazy since Christmas/New year & the humidity isn't helping either. Today our offices in West End were evacuated due to the rise of the Brisbane river & who knows when we can go back to work!?!

Here's a green tree frog hanging outside our window :)

It's time to get crafty yeah?

8 Jan 11 (Happy new year by the way)
I've been meaning to get serious with my crafts, mainly my art, now that we are settled in our new house. Anyways I've had this fascination with hand made flowers. Below is a few blogs/tutorials I've found during my "research" as I wanted to create something with a touch of my personality.
