Happy 2014!

Hi Everyone!

2014 will be a better year for all of us (I hope).

I always have high hopes for the year ahead of us, I always want a better year than the last. Is that asking for too much? Starting off the new year with a bang can always be a little exciting if it's not expected. Fireworks, family and friends are the best part of celebrating.

I suck at New Year's Resolutions, always have and probably always will. There is one way to make sure that there is a constant reminder of my resolutions, to put them somewhere where they can never be taken away fully, the internet. 

So, here they are:

1. To continuously post on my blog all year long

2. Achieve good marks in my school work

3. Meet new people and have new adventures

There you go, my new years resolutions. I think that they are pretty reasonable and necessary for the new year. Being hopeful and willing this year is a definite must.

Happy New Year everyone!

Merry Christmas, Sorry It's Late

Hi Everyone!

Woah! I haven't made a post in almost 3 months! That's bad. I've been really busy finishing school for the year and just being 'normal' again. Christmas has whizzed by on all of us this year yet again. Is it just me or does the anticipation sometimes feel more exciting than the actual day of Christmas?

Christmas was great for my family anyways, we went to the beach because it's never, ever cold in Australia at Christmas time. Camping around this time of year seems to always be a tradition in our family, ever since I can remember we have gone away for the holidays and I've always enjoyed it. The only bad thing about going to the beach for the holidays is the sand in your bed and the awful sunburn, ouch! As I am writing this post, I am red roar and very sore from the unforgiving sun. 

Life's a beach!

So, what did I get for Christmas? Well this year I was particularly spoilt by my parents and of course by Santa Claus. The best thing I got was my camera (thank the lord I've finally got one). I'm not saying I'm a photographer or anything but taking photos has always been hobby of mine and I don't need to be a photographer just to have a nice camera. 

Camera: Canon EOS 1100D

Now for the smaller presents. These presents included, bird shaped  and four leafed clover silver earrings, Real Techniques core collection brushes, Australis make-up finishing spritz, Revlon mascara and eyeshadow, Charlee blue purse, Our Moment One Direction Fragrance, Models Prefer Eyeshadow palette, Midnight Memories Album by One Direction, a 2014 Kikki-k Diary, and lots of clothes. 

Some of my presents I received from my whole family

I have been one spoilt cookie this Christmas! Seeing the look on peoples faces when they open up there present from you is one of my many favourite parts of Christmas. Bring on 2014!

Merry Christmas everyone! x

A Small Getaway

Hello Everyone!

My family and I all went on a short holiday on the weekend. It was a nice little escape while it lasted!

We went away as it was my uncles birthday on Saturday and he wanted to go away for his birthday so he suggested that my family, his family and our grandparents all go away to celebrate his 50th. We went to Brunswick Heads in New South Wales. We stayed at a camping site that had cabins and so we stayed in one for two nights along with our grandparents that took their caravan away and stayed in that whilst my uncles family stayed in their own cabin.

We stayed in cabin number 5 which was named 'Starfish'. The view was amazing, our cabin was right on the rivers edge, the river sparkled all day and all night long. 
As it is June and soon to be July so that means that it's winter and it's freezing so it was track pants, jumpers, socks and hot cups of tea all round!

I took some snaps of the scenery and I'll put them in, Sorry for the crap-ola iPhone shots because I still don't have a good camera *sigh*

This was the first morning we got there. It was freezing! So, a cup of tea snap on the balcony it was!

The tide went down later that day, it went down so fast and so low! You could literally walk in the middle of the river.

Unfortunately the colour of the water was a yucky brown colour at low tide but at high tide the next day it was a lovely clear blue but silly pre-occupied me forgot to take a picture (i know, i know, kudos Sam)

Because i had my iPhone, I decided to take a couple of Panorama shots of the bridge as we walked a long it.

  
Don't mind the back of my sister as we were walking along the bridge.




On the last night we stayed there, my cousin, sister and I all went for a walk to the mouth of the river to watch the sunset, it was lovely. There were a lot of people there but it was still really peaceful and calming to breathe in the salty air.


So, there it is, the holiday we went on for the weekend.
In my opinion it was really cold but worth it. It was literally the longest time I've spent out of the house in a while (oops). It was really great to spend time with my family as we haven't done anything like that in a while. Anyways, that's it from me!
