A Diamond Near My Heart.

You all know by now that I'm on a health kick trying to lose some weight.. Well, after making a habit of not just walking on the treadmill but running at full speed ahead, I noticed a small red mark in my cleavage. I figured my skin was just irritated from my bra and let it go.

A week later, it's a full blown bumpy and itchy rash. I went to the doctor and he told me that it's a rash caused by heat, sweat and constant rubbing/friction which would have been caused by the running I do five days a week at the gym.

He gave me some cream but I thought I'd show you what it's like right now at it's worst.


Women really can't get a break, can we?!


Oompa Loompa Doobity Doo..

This photo is the only way I can show you the difference between my tan lines.
I'm sorry if some of you find it inappropriate.


- Ok so the SUPER WHITE part of my waist line is where I had no tan at all.

- The medium tan colour shows where my bikini bottoms sat (and left me untanned on my bum) and tanned on my hips/thighs.

The brand of tan I used was Glamour Tan in the shade Sarsaparilla. I cant spray it too heavily because it turns orange on my skin after a few days if I have too many coats. I learned that the hard way the first time I got it done.

I recommend this spray tan to anyone who is naturally a light/medium olive and just wants to add some depth to their natural skin tone.

Know Your Wax.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

The above photo doesn't look too horrible but trust me, it stings like a b!tch and then it stings some more.

Yesterday while I was out shopping I noticed that I had a blonde stache' happening. When I got home I got my wax on. Unfortunately the wax wanted to take off some skin as well as the hair.

So ladies, PLEASE, know your wax!!

Is Your Foundation Infallible?

Today wasn't much of an interesting post. Just a few mini ones here and there. 
It was too cold and I spent most of my day shopping. I know I know, I'm meant to be saving. I cant help it!! 

Tomorrow morning I'm doing a home remedy pore minimizing treatment thanks to DeAnna. Egg and lemon juice I think she said. Either way it sounds interesting enough in a scary-make-fun-of-you kind of way haha.

While I'm on the topic of skin.. You know how I bought the 'Infallible' foundation a few days back? I wore it for the first time today and WOAH.. Flawless. I recommend it to anyoneeee! I didn't even test the colour before I bought it and it is perfect. It looks like it was designed for me because it blends so well with my skin colour. It covers perfectly and flawlessly without feeling or looking heavy or thick. It is a matte powder-like finish. I wore it for around 16 hours without it going oily or shiney and my skin normally needs to be washed and have the foundation redone every 4 hours (if im lucky!). I have read a lot of reviews about this foundation and a lot of people are unhappy with it. Tough titties to them, I LOVE IT.

It was $25 AUD so it's a tad pricey but I only used the amount of the size equivalent of two of my fingertips (one and a half pumps) which means little goes a long way. That is always a good sign for your moneys worth in the long run. Either way, I'd prefer to spend $25 than be paying $50 - $70 for a few of other brands that I have previously used. My skin finally likes something, so I'm defending it's honour. 

Tomorrow I'm hoping to do a FOTD but I will cross that bridge when I come to it =p 
If not a 'face of the day', I'll at least do a before and after photo to show you what I mean about the foundation. Hoping my internet wont die if I upload a lot of photos coz I still have to show you what I bought today too. 

Until then, goodnight and PEACE.


'Infallible' can mean any of the following:

  1. It is something that can't be proved false.
  2. It is something that can be safely relied on.
  3. It is something completely trustworthy and sure.

HONEY, I SHRUNK MY PORES.

Well I'm trying to shrink them.

Will one of you lovelies please recommend a pore minimizing cream or face wash etc? I don't wanna spend a million dollars but price isn't really a deal breaker.

It's desperate times. My pores are so big that I could plant seeds in them and grow a vegie garden on my face!

It's ridiculous.
