My daughter and I attended Fashion Weekend 12/5/12 at the Royal Hall of Industries - Moore Park. What an array of designers, it was quite overwhelming and very packed. There were all your fashionista's there strutting their stuff, and some very tragic fashion being worn. But each to his own. We decided to do the quick scan, up and down the aisles to see which boutiques were there and what was

Well we are at what they call lock up stage with doors and windows in place. We chose the bi-fold doors, which work well as you can open them right up, but am wondering wether full glass sliding doors would of been better to capture our view over the pool and onto the green. Below is our Kitchen - The range hood has just been put in and is being held up with supports, and of course still has

As soon as that slab went down things started to move along rather quickly. Walls and ceilings are going up. The steel has been placed into the pool form ready to be poured. There still is a lot of noise and dust, and we are getting so close to lock up stage. THE BEDROOM - IT HAS A RECESSED AREA FR BUILT IN WARDROBES.  THE KITCHEN WILL BE ON THE FAR WALL and BIFOLD DOORS ON THE LEFT

So the slab has gone down and the pool is being dug, it's all moving along nicely, but alas will not be ready for christmas as we had hoped. The bathroom is also taking shape, with plumbing in place on the floor. The chipboard support has been replaced with concrete retaining walls and the frame work for the wall are up.It was so exciting to watch the slab being layed. I really had no idea how

Part 2 of my renovation story has been met with difficulty. Both in the telling of the story and the renovation. There has been loads of unbearable noise and alot of extra events that had to take place. With the removal of the piers and parts of structural walls, even though they replaced these vital supports with steel beams they needed to undertake extra work. Because our house is built on a

We bought our house a few years ago, and have always dreamed that we would put in a pool, landscaping and fencing. Well that dream has become a reality, and somewhat grown... Some our friends that came over when we first bought the house, suggested we go underneath and build a cabana type room. Great idea, so this was added to the plans. After a redraw and review of this room, my husband

I am now the proud Mum of 2 teenage boys, my youngest has just turned 13 years old. They are great lads, but like any teenage boys they have their moments of utter full on energy (hormones), that needs some guidance before it really becomes an in your face situation. I have managed to calm the beast within my boys. Yes. they still wrestle each other around and can be extremely loud, but it is

Last Friday I had the pleasure of attending the Inked Australia/NZ Magazine fashion launch, Having a business closely related to the Tattoo Pop culture I was very keen to go. What a great party..... I arrived at the venue and immediately felt out of place, Im what you call a clean skin (no tattoos) though I do have piercings. My bestie and I sat down and proceeded to take in the array of some of

Why do I feel like I am walking along Kuta beach or negotiating the platform at an indian train station,when the reality is, I am in my local shopping centre in the suburbs of Sydney. To have retail shoved in our faces from every angle of our daily lives is escapable, we switch off, dont listen or dont read the advertisement. But not so at the local shops, where I have found the main offenders

Thats right, have you ever jumped at a FREE opportunity only to find out afterwards that it is not FREE. I receive a periodical email from a company called Freestuff.net.au. Its generally filled with FREE stuff or discounted opportunities. I am a lover of FREE stuff - who isnt? Well about 8 weeks ago I applied for a FREE sample of a product called PureLift Ultra, it promised results similar to

The other day a dear friend of mine asked me to accompany her to have her shots of botox.I have seen the procedure on tv, but never in real life. So with a plan that afterwards we would head into town for lunch and view the Gucci sale I agreed.She was getting her forehead, eyes, and lips done, so we arrived early for her to have numbing cream applied to these areas.We entered his room where I met

So here goes with my first blog. I decided that I needed to do this as I have so many ideas running around inside of my head and tend to file them into a part of my brain that I don’t seem to be able to locate the following day. I always think yeah Ill remember…but I don’t. In order to make this practice as viable as possible I purchased myself a reasonably priced laptop. Now, there was no
