Oh my...

So in a few weeks, I'm going to be 24. I really am finding it hard to believe... as it feels like only yesterday I was getting ready for my 21st.

And what am I going to be treating myself to my for my bday... new ink of course. I'm getting a old school lock and key on the inside of my forarms... black and grey shading. The lock will go on the inside of my left arm and the key will go on the inside of my right arm. Very excited... I think I booked them when I got my orchids on my left calf finished and I remember feeling at the time 'Oh it's going to be ages away till I get my lock and key' and now it's less than a month. Time flies I swear... 

So I'm 23...

So not too long ago in November I turned 23... and it only feels like yesterday I turned 21... where the last two years have gone I really dont know.

And just for good measure, here is a photo of the one-and-only birthday girl on the night of her birthday celebrations

Well, maybe another one too...

And yes, my birthday cake was a set of red lips with vampire fangs! Many thanks to my gorgeous friend Steph for making the cake <3

I Wish...

that I could pull off how amazing Halles hair looks in these photos from the Daily Mail
Click Me...  
That short hair cut looks amazing, not to mention Halle is incredibly gorgeous anyway, but she totally rocks that ultra short cut. Me want it now, but sadly it wouldn't suit me :(

Cheap and Cheerful...

Who can resist a bargain eh?! I know I have trouble with it!

Oksy, so while browsing in Chemist Warehouse last Friday night after work, I came across the new Natural Instinct stuff... well it's not new but its got new packaging etc, and I saw they had a hand cream. I bought this to keep at my desk at work as my hands tend to resemble a crocodiles hind leg if I dont use handcream and that's not a attractive look for anyone... well maybe for a crocodile but not for me lol I think the actual name is Natural Hand Cuticle & Nail Cream. It's about $9 and I'd give it 4.5 stars... it loses half a star due to the strong scent of lavender, but other than that it's fantastic, keeps hands soft and hydrated & absorbs quickly.

Lazy or clever? You decide...

Lazy or clever?!? Multi-functional I say...
One decides to paint ones toenails but doesn't want to wait as long for it to dry... so one gets out her Parlux 3500 (for those not in the know, it's a fancy schmancy hair dryer) and uses the cool shot button to help with the drying process...  
Why I didnt think of this earlier, I dont know...

Meanings behind the ink...

So at present, I've got 7 tattoos... and I love each and every one of them. All my tattoos have meaning to them, and are very important to me.
This is what I have:


* The Scorpio M with 7 stars - this is just under my left armpit on my ribs. This was a 21st present from my parents and each of the 7 stars is for someone special.
* 3 Love Hearts - these are on the back of my neck. Basically one for me, one for my mum and one for my dad.
* R 13 F - this is on the inside of my right wrist. The R stands for redemption, 13 is for good luck and the F is for forgiveness.
* 3 Lillies - these are on the back of my right calf. I got these to show that no matter what crap I've been through or will go through in life, I will always be beautiful.
* Quote from my favourite book, this is on my lower back. The quote is "She cut her long hair to buy her lover a watch chain. He sold his watch to buy her combs for her hair". To me, this is all about true love and sacrifice and what someone will do for the one they love. 
* Day of the Dead Skulls/Old School Gypsy Heads - these are on the front of my thighs, I have a boy on my left thigh and a girl on my right. It's to do with my belief in true love... what is beautiful in life is beautiful in death. A true love never dies, just because someone (or the couple) has passed away, does not mean their love has passed away with them. It's also to show that what some people can perceive as being ugly can be quite beautiful.

Updated photo of Project 6 & 7

I thought I should post a photo update on Project 6 & 7

This was the third session - done June 9th 2010, photo was taken 1st August. I love the spider web on my girl... it frames her beautifully and the boy will be getting the same. Can't wait... next session is September 3rd YAY next month, so I'm pumped to get them finished. I love them to pieces!!!!
