Thailand- Phuket

Ahhhh Thailand... the land of smiles, and there is no doubt in my wind as to why.. the beautiful beaches, the daily massages, foot scrubs, facials and anything else nice you can do for your body, the shopping, the drinking by the bucket load and of course the partying!

As much as I love Dat Girl, it was good to have some time where I couldn't actually do anything as well! Some family members were holding the fort for me and instructed me that I must try not to think about it... I have to admit, it felt nice.

 

We went away with 9 of our closest friends, so to say we came back a lot more exhausted than when we left would be an understatement. Although I can honestly say that we made the most of EVERY moment. The most time that was spent in any of our hotel rooms was when we were sleeping... one of our resorts didn't even have TV's in the rooms, which was even better as it forced (even though it was voluntary) to spend more time on our private beach.

 

I have many many photos, but for the sake of your finger on the scroll bar, I will try to limit to a few per day....I'm going to split it into two as well 

 

 

Night 1 

 

 the first buckets for some in our group, and my first ever public pole performance, which was encouraged by my fiance, who when seeing a girl rub up against a pole said "Come on Sarah... you can do better than that". Ey, if the fiancee approves, all is okay :)

 

 

 

Day 2

 

The day was spent having fish eat our feet, shopping, drinking cocktails and getting massages.

 

 

 

 

 

 Night 2

 

Dinner at a Mexican restaurant, lanterns, an infamous Thailand type of show and then a night where the terrible threesome consumed waay too many drinks

 

 

 

 

 

Day  and Night 3

 

Struggled to get up on this day, let me tell you! Once I hauled A and my girl Alana out of bed, we met the others to check out the shopping centre.... go bowling, get facials, go on a 4D ride, visit a few more markets, get a pedicure and then finish it all off with a family dinner on the beach and our own fireworks.

 

 

 

Day 4

 

It was an early start on day 4, as we headed out on a snorkeling tour, but it was wayyyy worth it..... The initial 40min  boat ride was rough and unfortunately our idea to sit at the front of the boat was not a good one. We were airborne for a good amount of the trip.

 

 

 

 

Night 4

 

Phuket Town night markets... lots more shopping! Wooohoo!

 

The boys also got into the crickets, worms, frogs etc... I was happy to watch their faces and not take a taste test.

 

The next day we flew to Koh Samui.....

 



Life through my iPhone 5

I have been slack I admit this, between writing huge Government job applications, marketing Dat Girl, Christmas shopping, trying to socialise and clean and not put on too much weight and book things for the wedding and fulfil Dat Girl orders and do pole dancing and see my family and ARRAGGHHHHHHH yep all got a lot too much! hahaha.

 

It's funny, I get so tired sometimes and wish I wasn't that busy, but on the other hand I freakin' love being busy, and get bored after even one weekend at home..

 

The easiest way to catch up I think is through my iPhone 5, let's take a trip shall we? :P

 

 

Remember Oliver? He has gotten bigger now, but the poor little guy was really sick last week. Mum came home from work to find blood everywhere and ran him to the Vet. They thought he had Pavo (aka the puppy killing disease), luckily he didn't, but he was on a drip at the Vets for an entire week. The Vet still has no idea what it was, but if mum hadn't of rushed him there he wouldn't have survived!

 

How cute is he trying to reach over the fence like Bobbi?

 

 

 

Don't know when I wore this, but I must have liked the red lip, leopard print look.. pity about my cone head!

 

When my girls and I catch up, we get a whole board of pizza! Bondi pizza offers three of them like this now, it's cheaper and looks awesome so it's a winner in my books.

 

 

Headed out recently for drinks and dancing. Wore this Twiggy leather skirt from Dat Girl of course, with this backless ASOS leotard. It was a fun night out, I am not a home body all the time, that's for sure - this girl needs to boogy sometimes!

 

Pole dancing ended last week. I have officially been a pole dancer for a year now and I freaking loveeeee it! I would recommend it to anyone and I can really see and feel my muscles improving.

 

Speaking of which, does anyone else find it funny the bad rep pole dancing has?

 

 

Sure, in the past pole dancing went with stripping, but I personally think it's great that women have turned around something that was suppose to be "for men's enjoyment" and found a way to make it empowering for them, to help then become strong and fit!

 

A and my mum have both come to watch at my pole studio and both agree there is nothing sexual about it.. the things these ladies can achieve are amazing, they put the beefed up boys at the gym doing chin ups to shame, shame I tells ya!

 

 

Our first Christmas tree, all silver and pretty.

 

  



 

We went to Ivy Pool on Sunday and what a fun day it was!! Unfortunately, Ivy pool on a Sunday leads to feeling sorry for yourself on a Monday hahaha.

 

I'm wearing the Mayhem dress from Dat Girl.

 

 

My niece graduated from Preschool this week, how cute is this?! Cue awkies smile, when she just wants to be running around playing hehe.

 

What's everyone doing for the holidays?

 

Party Season?

It is warming up, Christmas is getting closer and we are all partying a little more right? Hmm.. I don't know, for some reason I feel like my partying, wearing new outfit nights have been slim of late. Maybe it is because the saving for a wedding thing has sunk it or maybe I'm being lazy? Either way I am missing it a bit and I think I'll have to do something to vamp up my party calender!

 

My social calender feels so much less busy than last year - weird.

 

Anyhoo, I did go to Stereosonic in Sydney on the weekend and it was great!!

 

Of course it began with 10 am drinking and ended in 1am Chinese.

 

It was so full and such a beautiful day. I love partying in the sun.

 

Some of the acts were a bit disappointing, but overall I think Stereosonic still holds the title for the best festival in Sydney.

 

 

I put a photo of my outfit on the DatGirlclothing instagram, but unfortunately can't put it on here as I am at the maximum usage :(

 

It was a play suit from datgirl.com.au.

 

I love play suits, but man they are a pain the bum when it comes to toilet time!

 

Do you like festivals? What's your favourite?
