The Countdown Begins...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Can't believe I spent the last day of 2010 at work... and it was so busy too... Totally not what I expected.

I'm just about ready for some shut-eye but I'm trying to keep myself awake with food, good music and a glass of bubbly because I must-stay-up-for-the-fireworks! I do so because I'm always super excited about Australia being one of the first countries in the world to watch the clock tick over into the New Year. And who doesn't love fireworks...

What I'm most looking forward to are the exciting challenges that 2011 will bring. I'm going to make mine another year of growth, success and love on both a personal and professional level. Hope yours is a good one too and that it's everything you desire. Thanks once again for your friendship! See you next year (on the flip side)!

Love you all xx

Happy New Year's Eve

Dearest blog readers,

Can you believe it is already New Year's Eve in Australia? One last day of writing 2010 and then I will have to get over my bad habit of continuing to write the wrong date long after we have moved on.

I am off to work right now but hopefully will get home earlier today to prepare for NYE celebrations. Also looking forward to staying up late to catch the fireworks as I have done every year. I have a feeling I'll probably be asleep by 10 though... it's not usual for me to have worked the day before!

We'll see...

PS. Thanks for your continued readership and support. Sometimes I wonder if anyone out there even reads what I write and I consider shutting my blog down. Then I think of all the lovely messages I receive from people like you and I feel happy again :)

20 Candles on my Cake

My new beauty purchase: OPI - 20 Candles On My Cake

I have been looking for the perfect red polish for such a long time; one that is soft and matte in colour, but not too overpowering or blood-red. I think I finally found it this afternoon on my third shopping spree for the week, hooray!

This understated and gorgeous vintage rose-red is absolutely perfect for everyday wear on the fingers or the toes. It applies beautifully smooth and glossy and has no shimmer making it very workplace appropriate. 1-2 coats is sufficient to yield that streak-free creme finish that looks like you've had your nails done professionally. I'm so glad I bought this shade of red - it looks beautiful in the bottle but even more superb on! Can already see myself purchasing this staple colour over and over.
