I’m alive! Haven’t updated for a while. I went out to lunch with my mum today it was so nice, but I feel so extremely tired. I think the reason I feel so tired today is the fact that I had some weird dreams last night which made me wake up a couple of times during the night and that was annoying. Im now watching America’s Next Top Model and it is soooo painful to watch, I think Jaz knows what Im talking about. I also went to the MARKETS today and got the Maybelline Mineral Power Foundation for $12 but in the shops they sell it for around $25 - $30 I believe. I applied it when I got home and it feels so good on the skin. I love it however I think the medium 2 shade I chose is a bit dark for my skin tone but oh well, it is not THAT dark so I’ll wear it anyway.

Im going to start prepearing for Christmas as of next week because I am spending it with the family and a number of close friends. Me and mum are going to start baking various cakes and cookies and I am quiet excited and will probably take some photos of the proccess.

Im also thinking of going to Parramatta Westfields tomorrow since I will be able to find a MAC cosmetics store there and I so need to buy something from there and I am already getting excited. Im spending way too much money on make up now days!

Bloom!

I am so sleepy right now I just want to go to bed, but before I do that I wanted to update on here again. Im back on my diet since Monday and I feel so much better right now. Although I am not allowed to lift anything due to having surgery, Im hoping that I will be back in the gym sometime next year. Speaking of next year, it is almost here and me and the family are planning a trip to see the family at the Gold Coast, Queensland so I am looking forward to that. Ok, so I had some work to do this morning so I left the house around 8:30am and once I got that done I needed to purchase sunscreen and body loation so I ended up going into Westfields and of course into Mayer to look for Bloom Cosmetics. I was after the Bloom Illuminiser that I have read such good reviews about. I was a bit dissapointed when I reached the Bloom Cosmetics section because everything was all over the place and all the lipglosses were half empty and open and I almost did not see the illuminiser from all the mess and there were only 3 of them left, untouched and unopened. I quickly purchased one and made my way out to Target where I got a really nice dress for summer. I tried the illuminiser and it is really great, makes your skin glow!! I also wanted to show you guys a photo I took of the make up I did with the Bella Pierre glitter eyeshadow I spoke about in my previous post. Im so into make up now days, Im not sure why! Comment and let me know what you think!

Went Shopping!

Sandra — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 11:39:58 +0000

So today I finally went shopping after recovering from surgery and being stuck at home for almost 2 weeks. Boy it felt good! On top of that, I went to a brand new shopping center that I did not go to before and I really loved it. Can’t wait to go back and shop there again once I drop the kilos I’ve put on since being back from the surgery. I have been complaining to some of my closes friends how my hair feels really dry and frizzy. No wonder really, I straighten my hair every week and to top it all off, wanting to be blond requires me to visit my hair dresser every month to touch up my roots and being blond is really expensive! So since I went shopping today I was searching for a product to eliminate my hair problem. There are SO MANY products out there that you just simply don’t know what to choose. I hate that. To top it all off, I have a really really sensitive scalp and skin. I read some reviews about some products that cost over a $100 and I am not ready to fork out that much money so I came across about some really good reviews in regards to this particular product that I found at The Body Shop today:

Brazil Nut Define & No-Frizz

So I am hoping that it will do lots of good things for my hair and I am going to apply it before I go to bed and let you know of the outcome in the near future. The smell is really nice and I am excited about using it. You can get it at The Body Shop for $18.95 and I am planning to get a few other things from there too.

So as I was walking through the shopping center I was stopped by one of those sales people who have stands throughout the shopping center and this one happened to be a make up stand, specifically Bella Pierre Cosmetics which is supposed to me all mineral make up and all natural. First time I heard of it, and he offered to apply some make up on my face and I did not refuse. He made a comment how I have beautiful skin which made me go all red and he began applying the make up. I must say the mineral foundation was just amazing and everything was going well until he told me the price! The mineral foundation was $80 by its self! The blush ended up being around $60 and the glitter eye shadow was $25 each. Those prices are hectic and my budget doesn’t allow me to got hat crazy with make up! The mineral foundation I found just amazing, and perhaps $80 is worth paying for it because at least it’s natural and you know what you are putting on your face and I found that my pores went smaller and my skin was glowing.

Bella Pierre Cosmetics - All Natural

I think I may buy it next time! I ended up getting the glitter eye shadow in a somewhat “nude” colour because I was just after a shimmer effect around my eyes and I love it already. I am now looking at purchasing additional make up brushes, especially from MAC Cosmetics. I am so becoming addicted to make up these days and I just can’t get enough!! Oh and the MAC cosmetics brushes I looked at are between $60-$80 each! That is so expensive *faints*, I really need to save really hard. I may take some photos the next time I do my make up so I can show you this glitter eye shadow. It’s purrrtyyyy. Until next time, adios my friends:)

Break up.

Thanks to everyone who has left me kind messages just before my surgery. As you can see, Im alive and well and the surgery went fine. I was in hospital for 3 days and now I am gall stone free and happy about that. As some of you know, I have been in a long term relationship with someone who at one point was everything I wanted. We had future plans and so on but everything came crushing down in May. When I asked for the reason why, he never could give me a clear answer and I immediately knew he just did for his own sake, never thinking about me or my feelings. Was such a guy worth my time or my love? No. How could he possibly hurt me that much? As I was getting better and tried to move on I would get a call or a text message that always said I can’t be without you, or how much he still loved me. Why? Why would a guy say that when he ended the relationship in the first place? I am trying to go on with life with a smile on my face so everyone doesn’t notice how much damage and hurt he has caused me with his carelessness. He treats me like I am all stone and no heart. Every single night I am in tears (sounds stupid?) but I can not control my emotions! I just can’t. Yesterday, during our conversation he kept saying how he is telling me all these hurtful things so I can hate him more. I think he is right, I hate him more every single day. I am now trying to deal with this pain on top of my surgery. I feel half of the time I am deeply depressed. I don’t feel sorry for him breaking up with me, but I feel sorry for my self. I feel sorry for my self because I have invested so much into this relationship and dreamed of this person being my husband one day and the father of my child. That is what I feel Sorry about. I am now looking at ways of how to overcome this. I have delted his numbers, emails, photos or any way we can contact each other. I want him to stay away from me and not hurt me so bad anymore. I am already broken into pieces and I can’t handle it. I am not sure what to do, or how to keep busy as I can’t go out or move around much. I am hurting so bad that I just can’t express it into words. I think I may have to go to counselling once I recover because I need to professionally talk to someone about this and see what help I can get because I feel like I am close to being depressed… Does anyone have any suggestions or some articles to read? Any help would be appreciated.

Surgery

Sandra — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:31:17 +0000

Helllo! I know I was meaning to update last night, but something always come up so I am doing that right now since I am going to bed soon! So I have afriend staying over for a week and we have been going out quiet a bit. Today, we ended having so much fun taking pictures on my mac and omg I laughed so much! Here is one:

We went out last night with my Uni friends and had dinner at a nice restaurant at Darling Harbour, Sydney. The night and weather was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed it so much. Im not allowed to eat spicy or fried food due to my gallstones so I ended up going home hungry because I ordered something I thought was not fried but it ended up being fried! Don’t you just hate that?! In other news my surgery is on Tuesday if everything goes well and I am so scared!!! I will let everyone know how I am doing once I am back! Im off to bed now xoxo

For you…

Well DONE America!!!

Busy Bee!

Sandra — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 01:08:50 +0000

I have been so extremely busy with University work it is making me so damn tired! I only have one more assignment to do and then I will be done…HOWEVER this last assignment is so damn complicated my brain is just not functioning the way it should be every time I sit and think about this assignment, yet alone do it! Anyway, onto other things. I went and bought the My Word Coach: Develop your vocabulary for Nintendo DS Lite and it was the last one left at Target. It took them like half an hr to find it and I got it for $49.95. I honestly thought it would be much cheaper then that but oh well. It is so good and I was constantly playing it on the way to Uni and I love it. I recommend it to anyone if you are interested in these sort of educational games. I am also thinking of getting the Mario Kart DS game but I am not ready to fork out $64 for a DS game as of yet. I think it will get cheaper. I also came across the Fifa 09 game and was so tempted to buy it. I love Soccer but, oh well next time. The weather is ok today. We decided to meet at Uni tonight to continue on the assignment which is due next week, so I am not really looking forward to that, but we have heaps of work to do and we are running out of time. I have been so depressed in the last week it is just driving me insane. I need a change, a holiday and whatever else to make me feel better. Until next time… here is a nother quote!

Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants
it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will
cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never… never forget it.
