Suddenly 30!

Today is my thirtieth Birthday!

I celebrated with my most fav cousins on earth! I was treated to lunch at Penrith Panthers, they have a great little noodle bar in there. I got some awesome balloons that my god son picked just for his there was fairys, dinosaurs and butterfly printed on them and not to mention the blatantly obvious 30 balloon.

 

I also received a gorgeous watch from a very special guy in my life. Spoilt me! Pierre Cardin goodness!!

Most recently you may have noticed that I have been blogging about Project Hotness. I chose an outfit that would compliment my personality and show off a pic of my style. Teal is my colour of choice lately,  and crocheted clothes make up most of my cardigans too. 

My gorgeous and charming god son, Alexander. He is my special little guy.

Work In Progress - Birds of a Feather

Each November, the legendary Festival of Fisher's Ghost comes alive in Campbelltown. The festival is steeped in history, dating back to 1956. The annual event is named after Australia's most famous ghost, Frederick Fisher, and celebrates the legend of the sighting of his ghost, back in 1826. Held over 10 days, the festival features the spectacular Street Parade, the prestigious Fisher's Ghost Art Award, the Fisher's Ghost Fun Run, a Street Fair, Craft Exhibition, open days and a giant carnival with fireworks.
 
Be part of the legend and enjoy the many events on offer - if you dare. 2013 festival dates can be found on the official website the link is as follows Fishers Ghost Official Home Page

Project Hotness - Less 3kg! Now 95kg!

So I started out on a challenge to get myself all clean and healthy before I'm thirty. I wanted to be more active, which I have done since the start of the year. I have been doing so much research of late on diabetes too to find what foods are really beneficial to a diabetic for optimum energy levels and help with weight loss. I stumbled across the Paleo diet, also known as the cave man diet. Basically anything that is harvest and grown agriculturally, is a no no. e.g. potatoes and rice.

I befriended another walker who I had passed quite regularly on my morning and on my evening walks. He has been quite a inspiration for me, he walks to relieve stress and encourages me to walk to loose those couple extra kilos Ive been storing since getting out of the big house (hospital). Although I should have worn a tighter top to show off my newer leaner figure!

Im happy to say Im so please with myself being under 100kgs now, I was never proud of my weight but I always believe you have to love the body you were given, although mine has been through such a rough trot the last 5years Im happy to say Im very well looked after now! 

So why the title? Another good friend of mine had ask what I had been doing as my lovely selfies that I had posted on some social media, were looking rather "hot" - well that was a compliment and a half from him! So in turn I decided that this was a perfect name for my very own personal project to better myself.

New Tattoo! The White Rabbit

As some of you are aware, I like tattoos. I always have and I suppose, I always will.  I decided quite a while ago to get the right foot done too. I looked incomplete with only one foot done!  I knew what I was getting even before I had gotten my left foot done. Im a big believer in getting body art that you love and that has a meaning to the person, Im not one of those tattoo fans that just get work done willy nilly, mine have been in place since I cant remember when. All my tattoos have meaning and I gladly tell people to really think about what you are getting, I don't see myself as part of the ink generation. I am using my tattoos for inspiration and meaning to who I am.

Do tattoo's hurt? Of course they do! Why would you think that oscillating needles wouldn't hurt? If your thinking about getting some art done, think about the pain. I am lucky I have a extraordinarily high pain threshold. 

I wasn't actually planning on getting a tattoo today, I just saw an opportunity and took it. I walked in to Inkhouse at Macarthur Square and the wonderful Marty decided he wanted to take on my foot. He told me there was a lot of work in the shading and outline of this piece. In keeping with tradition of my previous tattoos (The Mad Hatter on my left foot) I went alice in wonderland inspired. 

What the white rabbit means to me; Im never on time! Im always late (well apart from going to work).

So here is the final product, still a little bloody and Red, excuse my chipped nailpolish as well - not a good look! My Tattoo is not shaded like normal, this one here was all hand etched every little detailed line was covered. Marty did such an awesome job!

My big arse man feet all pretty and finished! A Little blurry but will take some cute ones when its all healed. 

These boots were made for walking... So that just what ill do!

I love my new marshmallow shoes, I call them that because its like you are walking on your own little pockets of marshmallow! These were a steal at $49.95 from my local Payless shoes. Im not to sure about the colour but they are just so comfy to wear when I go for my night walks or morning walks.
