Comin' Tuesday I feel better, even my old man looks good


Hello! I've managed to find some time to blog - hooray! Life is as busy as ever and there's only two more weeks until the end of term. In my down time, I like to prioritise what I want to do the most. What I enjoy most is spending time with my boyfriend and my family but then I also try to squeeze in friends, reading, embroidering, going for walks and sometimes cooking.
  
Here's some things I've been up to lately...
 
 

1. Going out to eat with my family. I like going out once in a while and trying different foods at different places. And then I also like revisiting my favourite places to eat too.


 
2. Going on walks and admiring nature.
 

 
 
 
I adore these lantern trees and would love to have some one day. My sister noticed that they're actually three trees, twirled together to make it look like there are different flowers growing from the one tree. So beautiful.  
 




3. Going to a concert. I haven't been to one in ages! My sister organised the tickets on the day of the concert, on a Tuesday, it was very last minute. There I was worrying that I didn't want to go out of a week night because I'd be too tired for work the next day, but I really enjoyed myself and felt like my old concert-going self again.
 
 
 
 I wish I had've taken a photo with a man who attended the concert. He dressed up in a full KISS outfit, all black with the silver details plus platform boots with silver stars on them (where can I get a pair??) and enev wore a black curly wig, 80s style! I didn't get the picture, but I think you get the picture. 

4. Spending time with friends. My friend from work, Alyssa had a winery tour for her birthday and I'd never been to one before! I love how she is so outgoing and great at organising events and get-togethers, I wish I was more like that.

I thought I wouldn't be able to handle all the tastings of wine, but I had lots of fun, enjoyed meeting new people and the very last moscato we had was really nice.




 
 
 
And that brings me to today... it's Father's Day! I have spent the morning with my dad, dedo, mum and sister, chatting over tea and cake and spending time in the backyard. I made lunch and pavlova for my dad and we'll have a dinner of lasagne with my dedo and uncle later on. 
 
 
 
I hope you are having a lovely day and capturing all the little moments in life that give you joy.

    I know finding time to blog can sometimes be hard. After all, we all have jam-packed lives to live, don't we? I'm glad to see you were able to squeeze in time spent with family and friends, and that you even went to a Kiss concert on a school night! That pavlova is looking seriously yummy by the way! xxx

    Oh, your pavlova looks amazing! I know, it's hard to find time to do all the things we want to do! A friend who is a good organizer is crucial - make sure you thank her! (I'm the organizer in my group). You went to see KISS?? I'm so jealous - I would love to see them, but bands so rarely come to our island and it's SO expensive to get to the mainland/stay overnight.

    Yay for Father's Day!

  A little while ago, my mum, sister and I had lunch at one of our favourite places in the city, Conservatory. It's an all you can eat restaurant with a wide variety of food. Mostly I dream of the seafood and I was SO excited to go. I love the lighted ceiling and marble staircase that greets you on the way in. I wore my new-to-me cream midi dress with cute puffy sleeves that I recently bought at a market for $7. I wasn't sure if the colour would suit me, but I like how it looks with the coral necklace. Ready to eat! The oysters were so delicious and my absolute favourite! My mum took a sneaky photo of my sister and I chatting.  See you next time, Conservatory! Although we always leave feeling so full and we swear we'll never return again! To end this post, I'll share some more recent photos... My sister and I enjoyed having a sister night, watching the Barbie movie and eating burgers at Grill'd. Yum - my favourite! I had to wear pink of course! Have you seen the mov

She's the lady who wears those flashing eyes

    Recently, I've been loving the colour pink. I think it may be because I've been seeing so many reels of cute, pink kitchens on Instagram or perhaps it's because I've been adoring my pink, strawberry jug I shared on my blog recently . Regardless, I've never really paid much attention to the colour pink until recently. I was determined to find a pink dress and luckily I didn't have to look far because I found this pink and red dress at the next opshop I visited, Savers. A bit pricey for opshops ($15.80), but I was happy to purchase this dress because it's beautiful and Sportsgirl sell their dresses for $80+ in their stores.     I had to take my new-to-me dress out for a twirl on a day out to Daylesford with my mum. She wanted to visit the lavender farm again whilst the purple delights were still in bloom.           The scent of lavendar was wonderful. I keep a bag of dried lavender by my bed, it's supposed to help you fall asleep.   We took some natu

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand

A day by the beach, what could be better? One sunny day on my work holidays, my mum and I visited Geelong beach. First we popped into the Vintage Mills Market. Looks at these vintage treasures... Next we strolled by the beach.  Passing the  carousal , we couldn't resist having some childlike fun. The Carousel's website says: " The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.   Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored." The view from the carosaul centre is beautiful. For lunch, we ate at a lovely restaurant by the beach called Fisherman's Pier. We love returning to enjoy the seafood linguini - delicious!  The four beach ladies waved us goodbye as we made our way back to our car. Goodbye beach, it was nice seeing you!
