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?

 

Puppy Love

 

Do you remember earlier this year, meeting my mum's little puppy Bobby? If not, you can meet her here.

 

Well she is no longer so little and mum was wanted to get her a friend for some time now.

 

After my brother bought a Lorakeet on the weekend, Bobby cannot stop staring at it, she is just dying to play with. Seeing this, mum bit the bullet and started looking for a pup. Of course, I insisted I go with her to see the pup she chose and approve of his cuteness.

 

  

And cute he is!!

 

He is half labrador, half border collie.

 

My mum tried everywhere for another Dalmadore, but no such luck.

 

 

We named him Oliver, Oli for short :)

 

 

Dirty from playing in the mud.

 

I love his green eyes and wish I still lived with mum so I could play with him allllllll the time!!!

 

 

Bobby loves him too!

 

Unfortunately, she doesn't realise he is only the size of her head and trys to pounce around and play with him, to which he cries and runs away to hide.

 

She won't let him sleep either, she is too excited and apparently didn't care that it was 3am, that was play time!

 

Awww is there anyone that doesn't love puppies?

Randomness

I have been a less frequent aka bad blogger of late. When I have spare time lately, the last thing I feel like doing is thinking or typing or staring at a computer - the perils of running an online store I guess?!

 

Anyways, I do enjoy blogging and I will try to behave more blogger like, starting with a randomness post..

 

 

Last night I caught up with my girl Priscilla, for a girly gossip catchup chat. I love our chats like this and we hadn't done one in a while, so 3 hours, food and coffee was needed!

 

I felt so refreshed and cleansed when I went home haha.

 

 

Vienna Chocolate... mmmmmMm!

 

 

Dat Girl is featured on Scoopon at the moment, it is exciting to see my baby out there and see people respond to it - it is also really nerve racking!

 

 

A returned to Sydney for goof last week - YAAAHHOOOOOO!!!

 

(pity about my fat arms in the above pic, it's okay I gave him Sangria so he wouldn't notice hardy ha)

 

Before we moved in together, we use to have a date night tradition of doing something, anything together every Tuesday night. We kind of forgot about this when we moved in together, but now we have started the tradition again.

 

 

We went to La Cita at Cockle Bay Wharf for tapas platters. The top platter was my favourite, the bread was warm, the meatballs were soft and the Chorizo, ohhhh the Chorizo!

 

 

 

We had a family lunch on Sunday and I wore a Dat Girl blazer, pretty petals. I am now obsessed with this blazer, I have worn it a few times and keep getting compliments, now I just need the man parts to tell people where to get it from :P 

 

 

My niece couldn't stop looking at herself in the camera on my new iPhone 5. She is such a cutey, I spun out when I said hello to someone and out of her little mouth came "HELLOO" - I had never heard her talk before!

 

She has also started crawling in recent times, so it's been a big month for her. Must be tough!

 

 

One of my friend's puppies.. I dare you to say he is not cute? C'mon..I double dare you!

 

I love the attitude he has, I can't help but give him like a Mugley (is that the cartoon dog's name?) accent.

 

 

We are spoilt for sunsets from our balcony- SPOILT!!!

 

 

We had another Dat Girl photo shoot a few weeks ago, I am so excited to show everyone the new summer looks!

 

Why do I keep putting myself in photos with models? why? not my smartest move haha.

 

 

 

This is a new trick I taught myself on the pole when I was under the influence... I'm actually only holding on with one leg. I was very proud of myself.

 

We have our pole performance tonight and for the first time both my mum and A are coming to watch me... eeeep I hope I don't forget everything and look like a clutz! hahaha

 

What's your plans for the weekend?



A sad goodbye

You may or may not have noticed my lack of blogging last week. Well, there was a reason that I didn't feel like blogging. On Monday, after work (and my last post) I came home to find both of our puppies, George and Georgina (Nina for short) dead in our backyard. I won't go in to the horrific details of the event as I still find it very hard to deal with, but basically they were attacked in our yard, some time Monday morning.

I took Tuesday and Wednesday off work to try and deal with what happened, but I still don't think it has completely sunk in. I love those puppies and they were part of our family -unfortunately not for long enough :( It has hit my mum the hardest and she says her way of dealing with it will be to get another puppy to avoid the deafening silence in our house at the moment. I am sure I will blog about that in the week to come, but for now.. here is a tribute to George and Nina xoxo.

RIP.

George & A

Nina the day we picked her up
