QUICKIE UPDATE: A little bit of everything + disco ball nails ft ORLY Can't Be Tamed & Be Brave

So, once again, I might have gone on another unannounced hiatus. 

#BeautyBloggingFail #12837127319237912 

This was my excuse - cramming and squeezing every drop of my brain juice dry for my final and (hopefully) last exam for my Chartered Accountant Program! That was how I spent my 24th birthday too -have a hot time sexing it up with my EBA notes.

Don't mind the fatty TimTams - its part of my exam diet. ;)

I know, I have left you ladies hanging from my Beauty Bloggers Utopia Day 01, which was over a week ago. Shame on me. Don't worry, I promise to kill your bandwidth in my next post with more photos from my #BBU12 weekend. ;)

For now, just a quickie update about what have been happening in the past 10 days or so when I disappeared from le blog:

Attended Bio Oil's 10th birthday at Chiswick which left me leaving with a 5-months-food-baby! A more detailed update on that to come. 

I won a giveaway from my fellow base toucher - Michaela from LatherRinseRepeat! She incorporates some pretty damn awesome GIFs in her blog post, show her (and her GIFs) some love! 

A word of advice, I hope you aren't drinking or eating as I will not be held responsible for anything that lands on your computer screen (mainly whatever you have in your mouth at that moment). ;)

 I received a MASSIVE love package from my favourite LA chica - Gwen <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

I will be sending some love to your way shortly!! 

 Turned another year older - to the ripe age of 24.

And no longer do I enjoy a massive birthday cake - a variety of nomlicious cake pawns a massive cake of the same flavour ANYTIME. Maybe, I am just a #fatshit ;)

Those lemon tart & ricotta cheese cake were orgasmic!!!

Signed and sealed - starting a new job on Monday!! I am excited yet nervous at the same time as this is something quite different to what I have done in the past 2 years! Nevertheless, it's a fresh, new beginning!!!

Also, lunch buddy required in Bondi Junction, enquire within. ;)

Weekend DISCO NAILS featuring ORLY Can't Be Tamed & Be Brave - ready to PARTY ROCK tonight with birthday drinks and a night out with the crew!!! 

Hope you guys have a lovely weekend ahead and happy Friday!!! 

What have you got planned for the weekend?

XOXO,

As you may have already know from twitter, I was on vacation for three weeks in Malaysia (God, I miss my holidays). I had quite a hard time getting back on the blogging wheels as I have been trying to get back to the 9-5 routine, unpacking and reorganising (which is no where near done btw =.="), looking for a new place, and a strings of events to kick start the new year (stay tune for the launch of new products in 2012 :D). But I have a lists of posts lining up for Feb. :)

Digression.

Here's just a few a whole lots of photos to depict what's been happenin in the land down under since I got back:

Baked Eggs @ Reuben Hills, $14

Brunch at Reuben Hills with W last Sunday. Reuben Hills is a tiny cafe located at Surry Hills with a rather unique menu. 

Ice Cream Sandwich with salted caramel 

This was amazing albeit the salted caramel was a tad too salty.

W and I chilled at Hyde Park to soak up the limited sun - and guess who's the genius who was so keen for cider that she totally forgotten to check that this is not a screw top? =.="

Tammerly & I @ Photobooth

Diesel Loverdose Fragrance Launch @ Diesel HQ, Paddington on Tuesday. 

WHICH SERVES VODKA CRANBERRY IN A SYRINGE!!! 

Yes, I am easily amazed. No, but seriously, how awesome is this! :P

GlossyBox Bloggers Party @The Loft on Australia Day Eve. 

A special mention to the girls from GlossyBox for organising such a great event and I had a wonderful time despite the extremely gay and disgusting weather. (Think: thunderstorm and rain ALL DAY). It's always great to catch up with the fellow beauty bloggers over some delicious nibbles and some bubbles. 

Complimentary Bushell Tea Cocktail in conjunction with Australia Day + Pavlova

Definitely a unique drink to remember but that toffee liquor certainly didn't have much effect.

The INCREDIBLY generous goodie bag that was gifted at the end of the night! There are quite a few products that I am pretty keen on trying! Will definitely keep you girls posted. :)

Rocking a bright orange lips on Australia Day! Spot the kangaroo ;)

Poached Eggs, Haloumi, Grilled Tomatoes and Avocado on Sourdough Rye 

 Late brunch at Mickey's Cafe, Paddington. 

1L of White Sangria between W and I

What's Australia Day celebration without booze? Although we weren't hip enough to have a scnitty and cider at a pub yo! LOL It was lovely to have some exposure to Vitamin D today (by intervals, may I add) after a couple of crappy, rainy days.

Nail of the Week - ORLY Nail Lacquer in Forever Crimson.

Before logging off, here's a sneak peak of what's coming up next:

My loot from Singapore Duty Free. :)

And of course, swatches and reviews of some amazing products that I have recently haul-ed and discovered. :)

Alright mates, that's all for today. Time to hit the sack as I have another day of work before the weekend. IF only I had enough leave to enjoy a long weekend. Bummerrrrr! But,

GUESS WHO'S GOING TO KANYE WEST TOMORROWWWW???? 

:D

PS: My Kiwiberry Giveaway is ending in 5 days! Don't forget to ENTER if you haven't already! :)
