As a child, my dad would read to me every night before bed, filling my head with beautiful images that the stories and poetry described. Unfortunately, in the last few years, I have been reading less and less. Last year I'm pretty sure I read less than five books! This is so unlike me! But that's okay, because I have been striving to read more this year, and have already finished quite a few books.<br />

The most recent book I have read is <i>The Doll's House</i> by M. J. Arlidge. I actually finished it in a day. It was so fast-paced and had me hooked from the start, so I really couldn't put it down. Basically, it's about a young woman that has been abducted, and locked in a dark cellar that has been made to be a life size doll's house. What makes it interesting is the alternating perspectives between the abducted victim, the police investigating, and the abductor himself. It was very well written, and had no dull moments. I would definitely recommend this book!<br />

In between reading new books, I'm trying to read the entire <i>Nancy Drew</i> series. I have a mixture of the classic hardcover books as well as the electronic version. Currently on number 33 out of 52!<br />
<br />
Happy reading!<br />

Hello lovelies!</div>

Does anyone else genuinely enjoy getting ready for the day? I'll admit, I'm a bit of an early bird, and I really like being able to take my time in getting ready. I just thought I'd share my outfit of the day: this super cute pastel pink collared knit top and high waisted black skirt. Though you can't see it, I love the gold button details and a-line style which sits just on the knees for me. This outfit (and 90% of my wardrobe) is from Review Australia, and while these particular pieces are no longer available, you can find a similar top <a href="https://www.review-australia.com/shop/knitwear/heartbreak-jumper-pink.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.review-australia.com/shop/knitwear/cherry-lips-jumper-pink.html" target="_blank">here</a>, or other black skirts <a href="https://www.review-australia.com/shop/skirts/pastiche-skirt-f433fb.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.review-australia.com/shop/skirts/tiana-skirt-black.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My favourite part of purchasing the collared tops from Review, is that the collars are actually detachable, allowing you to also wear the top on its own, or to attach a different collar with it. In fact, the collar I'm wearing above is from a different Review knit! I seriously adore the vintage girly style of this brand, and the quality is absolutely amazing! It's so easy to wear their pieces for any occasion, whether it be daywear, a special event or work. I like to wear these more preppy, 1950's inspired outfits for work as it makes me still feel professional and conservative, but also feminine and vintage! What better way to boost motivation to work?</div>

I hope everyone had a nice and productive day today - I know I sure did! Time to relax and rest now :) </div>

Hello lovelies,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of last month we were treated to a lovely morning at the <a href="http://www.rubychai.com.au/" target="_blank">Ruby Chai</a> headquarters in O'Connor for their Chai Tea Party. Despite it being a very cold and stormy looking morning, we were instantly warmed by the cheery atmosphere and delectable products. Neither of us had ever been to an event like this before, so we felt a little awkward, sort of like being at a party where you don't know anyone! Of course, we had each other, and Louise soon came over and gave us a very warm welcome.<br />

First thing we did was get ourselves a nice hot drink! They had all of their teas available to try, but my favourites had to be these three! The beetroot latte is a newer product that isn't too strong in terms of beetroot flavour, and the same goes for the turmeric. I often find turmeric lattes to be a little too powdery for my liking, but this was actually very nice, smooth and had enough flavour without being overwhelming. Of course the honey chai was absolutely delicious, but I may be a little biased as I have purchased this product before at one of the markets they were at.</div>

And coffee lovers, fear not! They had a whole range of coffee beans available with all different flavours and strengths. While we are not coffee drinkers, we did enjoy reading the individual cards of each type of coffee that explained the flavour. They were even kind enough to grind the beans for those who didn't have a coffee grinder at home. And they had baristas on hand to serve everyone with piping hot cups of coffees.</div>

<br />
Those brownies were so yummy! Both the brownies and the cake were made by Simply Beautiful Biscuits. I really liked how this event showcased so many local small businesses and bakeries. It was such a nice way to be able to sample all these products that I always see on Instagram, but never get around to trying in person.</div>

These were definitely my absolute favourites out of all the treats on show. Earl grey marshmallows by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/littlepolkadotpantry/" target="_blank">Little Polka Dot Pantry</a>. One of my favourite floral teas mixed with marshmallows! Yum yum and yum. The Fat Puppy marshmallows were coffee flavoured (Fat Puppy is the name of one of their blends). Such a great idea to have flavoured marshmallows.<br />

One last little pic of the treats table. All in all, I had a really great time at the event. It was a fantastic way to try the products and meet the creators of these lovely products. The whole event had such a warm and friendly atmosphere, and everyone was chatting happily to each other. I think that having that sort of atmosphere is so nice at a showcasing event like this, and I look forward to being a part of the next Ruby Chai event!<br />

Thank you Ruby Chai for organising such a fun morning, it was a great way to spend a rainy Saturday!</div>

Handmade in Perth, the Rawr chai tea comprises of a concoction of ceylon tea leaves, chai spices and coconut sugar. It also contains no gluten, dairy and nuts and is 100% honey free. The brewing instructions recommend using soy milk for the best flavour making it vegan friendly as well.<br />
<br />
Chai lattes from cafes can be a hit or miss depending on your preferences. They vary from sugary syrup based ones, to mild and milky or strong and spicy. I personally prefer the flavour and strength from chai lattes brewed from tea leaves but also slightly sweetened which I find chai tea lattes generally lack. Following the clear brewing instructions yielded a delicious chai latte with the perfect proportion of chai spice to match the hint of sweetness from the coconut sugar. With my ideal flavour profile, this Rawr Chai will have to be a staple!<br />
<br />
Of course I couldn't resist having some fun and 'spiced' up my morning oatmeal by infusing it with the Rawr chai tea before topping it with a sweet, chai spiced poached pear to accompany my freshly brewed chai latte. Chai on chai on chai! I think I'm obsessed with this porridge combo now as its spicy, creamy, sweet flavours complement each other so well.<br />

<i style="font-size: 13px;">Oh so creamy chai infused oats, sweet chai spiced poached pear and a freshly brewed chai latte</i></div>
<br />
They also have a new range called Rawr fusion for 'bold, unique latte flavours' which sounds rather enticing. I'm thinking some chai infused baking will have to happen very soon.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I wanted to talk about some amazing products that I've been using, loving and repurchasing. Last year for my birthday, I was lucky enough to receive some products from Kora Organics. I had always wanted to try this brand for a number of reasons: firstly, because I have always liked Miranda Kerr and her holistic lifestyle, secondly, because the products are all Australian Certified Organic, which I think is great, and thirdly because have you seen the packaging?! Anyone who knows me also knows that I am a sucker for beautiful packaging, and have been known to purchase things based purely on their packaging.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been using the <a href="https://koraorganics.com/collections/face/products/cream-cleanser-1">Cream Cleanser</a> ($39.95), <a href="https://koraorganics.com/collections/face/products/calming-lavender-mist">Calming Lavender Mist</a> ($39.95), and the <a href="https://koraorganics.com/collections/face/products/soothing-day-and-night-cream-1">Soothing Day and Night Cream</a> ($59.95) as part of my everyday skincare routine for both morning and night, and have been absolutely loving it. The cleanser is both hydrating and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and very clean. The mist is so refreshing, and I like the lavender scent as well! I used to often get little spots on my forehead, but I've had no skin trouble at all since using these products. These three products are geared towards those with more sensitive/dry/ normal skin types, and they feel really gentle and hydrating on my skin. I think it's very important to choose the products that best suit your skin type in order to get the most effective results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another thing I love about all the Kora products is that they contain Noni Extract, which is a really great antioxidant that helps to protect the skin against damage from free radicals, as well as many other benefits. I also really love the scent of all these products! They have a beautiful floral, herb, sort of scent (I'm sorry, I'm terrible at describing scents) which I really like! Very light and feminine :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I keep the <a href="https://koraorganics.com/collections/body/products/daily-hand-cream">Hand Cream</a> ($39.95) and <a href="https://koraorganics.com/collections/face/products/vitamin-enhanced-lip-balm">Vitamin Enhanced Lip Balm</a> ($24.95) on my desk because they look so aesthetic, and also because I like to have them within reach throughout the day. The hand cream smells quite similar to the facial cream and cleanser, which might not be for everyone if you don't like that more herbal sort of scent. It doesn't leave a greasy finish, and is very light and hydrating. The lip balm is completely unscented and is VERY hydrating. I have extremely dry skin, especially my lips, and this lip balm has been so helpful for this winter!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kora Organics have recently launched a new Noni Glow face oil and body oil, which I think I may have to try! I do love a good body oil, especially in these winter months!</div>

Have a lovely day!</div>

Hello everybody,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Been a little absent lately, as it's been quite busy for me! After exams, I was sick and then I had surgery on the 4th of July. Nothing major, but something that I've been needing to get sorted for a few years now! I got a septoplasty and turbinectomy to free up my left nasal passage. Looking forward to finally being able to breathe properly!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I spent the few days before my surgery trying to find blog posts and vlogs to see what the process and recovery would be like, and found there's not a whole lot of blog posts around. YouTube did have some great videos though. I suppose it's difficult as the experience would be very different for everyone, depending on your surgeon, the hospital and of course your pain tolerance and the way your body heals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My surgery only took 30 minutes, finishing at 1:30pm, and I stayed overnight at the hospital. Unfortunately, the narcotics (I assume) that they used really affected me, and I was quite sick for most of the afternoon. Sleeping upright with a bandage under your nose is not the most comfortable, but better to get all that gross stuff out!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been almost a week now, and I've been very lucky with my recovery in that I have not had any swelling or bruising, and I haven't needed to take any painkillers whatsoever. Doing the nasal rinse was pretty awkward and gross at first, but it is so satisfying now to clean out my nose haha! At this current stage I don't even need the bandage anymore and can breathe through my nose, though it is still blocked and runny. Next week I will get my splints removed and everything will be back to normal again! Actually, it will be even better because I will finally be able to breathe!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't really have any photos because they wouldn't be very aesthetic, so here is a photo of my breakfast when I was in hospital. I had been fasting since the night before and hadn't eaten dinner because I was so nauseous, so I had to order extra food!</div>

<br />
It's a little late, but better late than never! We had a little "treat yourself" moment (once again), and purchased a few goodies from the Valentine's Day collection at Lush! Actually, I wanted to surprise Serena with a bath bomb after she came back from her month of travelling, and then I saw the massage bar and was sold! Serena was given the rest as a birthday gift, and they just happened to match perfectly!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKEWdfME1HyLFr5wFXKrqAkVyvQQ0K_y2EKMjNR_DowFHJUJ7cQX5KrgWjVwtYmXiK9JCdlscxmyYUVOpvOdSxgJzOzgDdGLjpDeLbSuwF06eqRZZn5BiypA1FxNcR6BIk2jk7S_f7v9E/s1600/IMG_1298.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKEWdfME1HyLFr5wFXKrqAkVyvQQ0K_y2EKMjNR_DowFHJUJ7cQX5KrgWjVwtYmXiK9JCdlscxmyYUVOpvOdSxgJzOzgDdGLjpDeLbSuwF06eqRZZn5BiypA1FxNcR6BIk2jk7S_f7v9E/s400/IMG_1298.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Prince Charming Shower Cream: </b>This scent is sweet without being overpowering. Containing marshmallow root, vanilla pod, grapefruit oil and pomegranate juice, it is sweet with a citrus feel. It makes your bathroom smell so good too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>'Love You, Love You Lots' Soap Bar: </b>Full of roses, as most of these products are, this smells so great! I'm not the biggest fan of soap bars because I never really feel clean after using them, and I don't like the feeling left on my skin after. This was is super pretty though, does feel slightly more moisturising than your average soap. Probably not something I would actively purchase, but simply because I don't use soap bars!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>The Kiss Lip Scrub: </b>This is such an effective lip scrub! It's great to use just after you get out of the shower, and just before applying lipstick. It's really pretty as it's pink with glitter and mini hearts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Ro's Argan Body Conditioner: </b>My all time favourite product from Lush so far, I have repurchased this a few times. It smells like Turkish delight! Most importantly, it actually leaves your skin feeling super soft. You don't even need body lotion after, and you will smell so good. Seriously, such an amazing buy, especially during the winter months when my skin gets dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Rose Bombshell Bath Bomb: </b>This is a triple rose threat! Containing rose oil, rose absolute and dried rose petals, this creates a pretty pink bath littered with petals. I am a huge fan of rose scented products, so this was such a great bath bomb for me. I was a little concerned with what the aftermath would be like in terms of cleaning, but it was surprisingly (and thankfully) fine! There was a slight pink ring around the tub, but it was easily wiped off, and the petals sort of disintegrate into the water and just go straight down the drain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Love Spell Massage Bar: </b>I was immediately drawn to the hearts and was sold as soon as I got to try it with a free hand and arm massage (so, so, SO relaxing haha). It has a sweet, slightly chocolate and rose scent to it and is so hydrating as well! As it is pure cocoa butter with essential oils, it does leave you with a rather oily finish, so I personally would only use it in the evening before bed :)</div>
<br />
Well, there you have it! A brief run down of some of these little treasures from Lush. Have a lovely weekend everyone, and don't forget to spend some time on yourself!<br />

<br />
So it was Serena's birthday a few weeks ago and I bought her some beautiful red roses to celebrate, as they are her favourite flowers. It's always so sad when fresh flowers start to droop and reach the end of their time. I always feel so bad throwing them out, because even though they don't look nice enough to display, they're not really dead yet either. This time I thought about what I could use them for instead of just throwing them away, and found this DIY from my favourite, <a href="https://laurenconrad.com/blog/2015/03/inspired-idea-diy-rosebud-garland-ilana-saul/">LC</a>. I was so inspired, I had to try it!<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<br />
All you have to do is cut off the heads of the flowers, and tie them up along a piece of string - or twine if you like that vintage look. It's so simple and looks really lovely, plus it helps them dry out faster so you could then use the dried rose petals for another DIY!<br />

It does give a romantic feel to the room, and adds a lovely scent as well. I think it would be a great idea for a Valentine's Day party. The colour doesn't really match my room very well, so I think if I were to make another one I'd pick different flowers, but it's such a good idea to make use of the flowers instead of just throwing them out.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only thing I have to point out is that as it dries, it will shrink to give more of a rosebud look, which is still very pretty, With these red roses, they darken a lot so they give off more of a gothic sort of look hanging up! Other than that, they're still super pretty!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope this served as a little piece of inspiration for Valentine's day!</div>

Hello lovelies!<br />
<br />
It's been a little while! We've been busy travelling Japan :) Now that we have started a new year, it's the perfect time to get organised for the coming year.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Buy a planner .</b><br />
Write down any important events so you can be prepared for anything! This weekly <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/2017-a5-weekly-bonded-leather-diary-pink-lavender">diary</a> is the cutest way to keep track of things. It comes with gold stickers too! So much love.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Declutter your life.</b><br />
This is a huge task, so I would recommend separating this into visible clutter and hidden clutter. Visible clutter is simply getting rid of anything you didn't use or think about last year, and reorganising your space. Hidden clutter is more of a deep clean of all the things you tend to hide away in drawers or cupboards - you've got to go through them at some stage! Also, don't forget your tech items - removing unused apps from your phone, or files from your laptop or computer.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Go through your kitchen.</b><br />
I'm guilty of buying random ingredients and products in the moment, only to completely forget about them after! Make sure to remove anything that has expired, and tidy up. You may just find yourself getting inspired to use up some of the things you find!<br />
<br />
<b>4. Create time-saving habits or routines.</b><br />
Some people (like myself) find themselves way more productive following a daily routine. It helps me to remember to complete mandatory tasks, and settles me. Others prefer writing out to-do lists, or just create handy habits. For example, wiping down the counters after preparing a meal, or doing the dishes straight away. It's the little things that count!<br />
<br />
<b>5. Share your schedule with someone else.</b><br />
It's great having your own planner, but it can be helpful to share your schedule with others. Serena and I use Google calendar to share our personal schedules, so we always know when the other is busy. Weekends can get pretty busy during the year, so it can help to prevent any double bookings if you share your calendar with your family.<br />
<br />
These are a few little tips to help you start getting organised for the new year :) Please let us know what other tips you find useful in staying organised.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of my favourite Christmas traditions is to watch a ballet in December and this year it was fittingly the Nutcracker. It was such a beautiful performance and a treat to see some of the younger ballerinas dance as this was the first performance I've seen with children characters. The costumes were beautiful with lovely fur coats, beaded dresses and the stunning, sparkly Sugarplum fairy costume. As Christmas draws near, I've compiled some ideas for last minute gifts or your wish list *wink wink* for anyone who loves anything girly, pink, gold or ballet inspired. Tulle skirts are so twirl worthy but can be hard to put an outfit together without looking too over the top ballerina. The rose gold accents add a modern twist to a feminine outfit and ties in my two favourite colours: pink and gold/rose gold!</div>

<a href="http://www.repetto.com/en/repetto-natural-spray-1-7oz-rp001a01.html"><span style="color: #bf9000;">1. Repetto perfume (eau de toilette) </span></a><br />
From the well known French ballet shoe company, comes this graceful perfume which is the perfect thing to spritz on your way out to the ballet. The floral, woody musky fragrance opens with a sparkling burst of pear, cherry blossom, satin rose, orange blossom with final notes of amber and vanilla in a pretty pink bottle.<br />

A delicate camisole made from the renowned Italian silk company 'Luna di Seta'. The v-shaped neckline showcases the necklace while the adjustable straps and the feminine cut ensures it will accentuate most figures.<br />

The prettiest pastel pink bag you ever did see! The rose gold miniature bow details and clasp make this the perfect accompaniment for any cream, light coloured outfits. It also comes with an adjustable shoulder strap so you can wear it as a bag or a clutch so it's like two bags in one.<br />

<br />
<b>1. Favourite christmas movie </b><br />
Sara: The ultimate Christmas movie for me has to be <em>The Polar Express</em>. It's just so magical! I also like watching the new Hallmark Christmas movies for the year.<br />
Serena: Polar Express for sure, it's the ultimate Christmas Eve movie.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Favourite holiday treat </b><br />
Sara: Gingerbread men.<br />
Serena: Cookies! Especially shortbread ones like sugar cookies.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. When/how did you learn that Santa wasn't real? </b><br />
Sara: One Christmas when I was maybe 5 or 6, I noticed Santa's handwriting looked exactly like my mum's...<br />
Serena: I don't remember ever finding out that Santa wasn't real, it just didn't seem possible. But I didn't let anyone know until I was older because I still liked participating in the Christmas magic.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Favourite Christmas song </b><br />
Sara: Let it Snow.<br />
Serena: Have yourself a very merry Christmas<br />
<br />
5<b>. Best gift you've ever received</b><br />
Sara: That's so tricky! I like all my gifts, but the most memorable one was probably last year when I received a full year's subscription and tickets to the WA Ballet for the year.<br />
Serena: That is hard! One of them is my Breville stand mixer which replaced my vintage hand held mixer that made me dread any recipe that said 'now beat for 10-15 minutes'.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Your favourite tree ornament</b><br />
Sara: Pretty, vintage looking fairies, snowflakes and other intricate ornaments.<br />
Serena: Nutcracker or ballet inspired ornaments.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>7. Most memorable Christmas</b><br />
Sara: So many for all different reasons.<br />
Serena: All the ones we've hosted just because I love event planning and scouring Pinterest boards for inspiration.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>8. If you could be in any Christmas movie, which one would it be?</b><br />
Sara: A Christmas Carol but the Barbie version. The normal one is slightly creepy.<br />
Serena: The Nutcracker as Clara of course!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>9. Easiest person to buy for</b><br />
Sara: Serena.<br />
Serena: Sara. Her presents are basically my wishlist.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>10. Favourite holiday scent</b><br />
Sara: Pine and gingerbread.<br />
Serena: Gingerbread and sugar cookies.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>11. Favourite Christmas tradition</b><br />
Sara: Waking up early on Christmas day, seeing what Santa left us in our stockings and enjoying a leisurely breakfast in our pyjamas.<br />
Serena: A Christmas picnic with family and friends.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>12. Wrapping paper or gift bags</b><br />
Sara: Wrapping paper!<br />
Serena: Wrapping paper. Gift bags make wrapping <i>so</i> much easier because you don't have to wrap at all but it takes away the element of surprise.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>13. Favourite Christmas book</b><br />
Sara: Oh, I'm not too sure... maybe Little Women?<br />
Serena: Nutcracker by ETA Hoffman<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>14. Real or artificial tree</b><br />
Sara: I've always wanted a real tree, but I've not had one yet! One day...
<br />
Serena: Artificial but it has to be a traditional green. Love the idea of a real one but it seems like too much work.<br />
<br />
<b>15. Best gift you've given</b><br />
Sara: I'm not sure... I just hope everyone likes their gifts!<br />
Serena: Can I say all? I'd like to think I give pretty great gifts haha. Probably a heart locket necklace.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>16. Hardest person to buy for </b><br />
Sara: Dad.<br />
Serena: Guys.<br />
<br />
<b>17. Would you rather live in Santa's workshop or a gingerbread house?</b><br />
Sara: Santa's workshop.<br />
Serena: Same. If I lived in a gingerbread house, I'd be homeless in a couple of days because seriously who could resist that if your whole house was edible.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>18. When do you open gifts? </b><br />
Sara and Serena: Christmas morning! <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>19. Favourite stocking stuffer </b><br />
Sara: Every year we get a bottle of the Philosophy shower gel in a holiday scent.<br />
Serena: Pastel Essie nail polish.
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>20. Favourite Christmas meal </b><br />
Sara: Roast vegetables.<br />
Serena: Dessert, obviously.<br />
<br />
<b>21. Do you travel on the holidays? </b><br />
Sara: Some years I do, and that's always fun! Especially when it's to places that actually have a cold Christmas!<br />
Serena: Every year! I can only remember one time that I've not travelled during the Christmas break.
<br />
<br />
<b>22. Egg nog or hot chocolate</b><br />
<b></b>Sara: Hot chocolate all the way. Anyone who knows me will also know how much I enjoy having my hot chocolates.<br />
Serena: Hot chocolate. Whipped cream, marshmallows and Netflix is mandatory.
<br />
<br />
<b> 23. Your plans for christmas </b><br />
Sara: This year, just the usual. I'm hoping to attempt baking and cooking more, which will be quite interesting!<br />
Serena: A whole lot of baking! I've been allocated desserts for upcoming Christmas events and will be baking Christmas cookies to go along with gifts. If all goes well I will share a couple of recipes on the blog.
<br />
<br />
<b>24. Favourite Christmas Eve traditions </b><br />
Sara: Go to mass, and watching a Christmas movie with hot chocolate. <br />
Serena: Christmas movie with the family then having a sisterly chat in the living room with only the glow of the Christmas tree lights.<br />

Fake butterflies hang off wires stretched across the ceiling in an unexpected decor move and the breakfast menu continues this subtle otherworldly vibe. It has an interesting mix of spicy, sweet and classic brekky dishes with Asian flavours worked in such as mango and coconut chia pudding, son in law eggs and a Indonesian fried egg dish with lap cheong and sambal.<br />

<i style="font-size: 13px;">Buttermilk pancakes with apple and strawberry compote and whipped maple butter ($19)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pancakes unfortunately lacked flavour and were drenched in maple syrup. Now I'm not averse to a good drizzle of maple syrup but there was so much syrup that the pancakes had begun to disintegrate in its sogginess. The sweet strawberry purée and honeycomb butter made this a sugar overload even to me and my love of sweets. A small carafe of maple syrup or perhaps some cream instead of the purée would have toned down its sweetness.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13px; font-style: italic;">Mushrooms on toast with Fremantle life cycle mushrooms, goats curd, 63 degree egg, truffle oil and grilled gluten free sourdough ($24)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The mushroom dish was executed well and had a good combination of textures with the crusty bread. They thoughtfully supplied us with a sharper knife for this dish to cut through the harder sourdough.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;"><i>Open egg white omelette with stir fried blue swimmer crab, broccolini, pea tendrils, coriander, green chilli nah jim ($26)</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The whipped egg white elevated the normally hearty omelette into a very light and fluffy dish. The crab meat portions were generous and well spread so you got a good chunk of juicy crab in each bite. The cilantro, chilli and oil gave off Thai flavours but perhaps a lighter hand on the oil would have made this perfect as it got slightly too greasy near the end.</div>
<br />
We didn't take photos of our drinks but the hot chocolate would have been a real winner if only it had been served at a hotter temperature. The milk was not hot enough to melt the dark chocolate and marshmallow leaving a clump of solid chocolate at the bottom. The chai latte was brewed with real chai tea and unlike the majority of tea leaf based lattes it actually had a good balance of mellow sweetness provided by the honey. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Overall</b><br />
The service although slow was friendly. Not including the pancakes, Vans is worthy of another visit but I'd probably stick with the savoury options.<br />
<i>Dishes for next time: </i>Roast cauliflower and manchego fritters with romesco sauce, soft poached egg, endive and avocado.<br />
<i>Rating:</i> 6/10.<br />
<br />
Until next time my fellow foodies,<br />

Hi ladies,<br />
<br />
Inspired by the master LC (Lauren Conrad), we are starting up a Friday Favourites series so we can share our current faves with you.<br />
<br />
<b>Favourite show: </b>Scream Queens<br />
Star studded with guest stars like Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas, Colton Haynes and full of dark humour, this show has us hooked at the moment. If you are't a fan of the slightly gory death scenes, its worth closing your eyes for those just to see Chanel's closet and their sorority house. Get your giant fluffy jacket and pastel heels out because the Chanel trio's fashion is to <i>die</i> for *wink*<br />
<br />

<b>Favourite beverage: </b>Hot chocolate<br />
With Christmas approaching, there's nothing better than a mug of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and marshmallows and an episode of Scream Queens to end the night.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
So today I wanted to talk to you about my visit to Alison Jade in Cottesloe. Something I have found is that while there are so many bloggers and Instagrammers out there, very few people seem to actually do posts on their experiences at beauty and hair salons. I really enjoy trying out new places, and am constantly on the lookout for great local places, but I do like to research the place before going. There's only so much an Instagram photo can tell you! This is why I thought I'd share my experience, so that others looking to try somewhere new can have a little more insight into the place before trying it out!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I called in to book an appointment, and was lucky enough to get an appointment for the following day. There is parking just across the road by the train line, but you've got to keep an eye out as those spots can fill up quickly! Having said that, an eyebrow appointment generally lasts somewhere between 15 - 30 minutes, so there is a lot of movement there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Walking into the building was like walking into what I imagine a lobby for a fashion magazine would be like. Very chic, clean and spacious with elements of luxury here and there.</div>

Soon I was greeted by my brow specialist, who led me to my room. It's more like a row of open rooms, with beaded curtains for a little privacy. As I settled into my large, plush chair, I felt more like I was having a spa appointment rather than your typical brow appointment. We chatted a little about what sort of shape I was after, how long it had been since my last appointment and how I had been maintaining them. As I have Asian brows, I am really quite particular with how I like my brows shaped, and often end up just shaping them myself. I'm not a huge fan of the arched look, preferring more of the typical Korean style straight brow, but I do like a soft, natural arch. </div>

First, my brows were trimmed, then a medium tint was placed to match my hair. After this, my brows were waxed and then plucked to perfection. So much attention on the brows! My specialist really knew what she was doing, and was quite a perfectionist in getting a super clean shape. The whole experience was finished with her filling in my brows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unfortunately, I completely forgot to take a photo of what my eyebrows looked like before to compare, however I have a photo of what it looked like straight after.</div>

<br />
Overall the experience was a lovely one, a place to feel a little bit special and have wonderful service. I do really like my brows, even though I feel like they still may be a little too arched for my taste, and perhaps drawn on a little longer than I normally would draw them. Besides that, I like how the rest of the shape and thickness ended up. At $60 for an initial appointment, and $55 thereafter, it is definitely on the pricey side, but completely worth it if you are like me and just needed a completely brow reshape. The price covers not only the actual service, which is very detailed, but also good service and yummy tea!<br />

We are so ready for spring! Personally, it's my favourite season (although maybe I'm a bit biased because it's my birthday season). I'd thought I share a few pretty things to get your month started! I'm all about the pastels all year round, but for the start of spring nothing beats a pretty pink dress. Check out our Polyvore account to see all the details for the set - just search for The Petite Pair!<br />

I just thought I'd share my quick and easy lunch from today. I was really feeling like something fresh and light, specifically, a burrito bowl was what I had in mind. This was super easy to whip up, and is fresh, healthy, vegan and gluten-free. Here is how I made mine, please keep in mind that the amount required is purely dependent on your taste! I added how much I used in mine inside the brackets, but feel free to change it up!</div>

Yesterday was one of them. Trying to decide on a place to eat in this intense Australian summer can be absolutely difficult. Finally we decided to try a local Italian cafe, Davvero. Located in the outer courtyard of Floreat Forum shopping centre, Davvero is a bright, open and simply beautiful cafe. It echoes the ambience of a European summer, with whitewashed furniture, and various gifts, truffle oils etc. available to purchase at the front.<br />
<br />
We were so hungry that we decided to skip entrees, and just head straight for the pasta dishes. Definitely satisfied our pasta cravings! And they were brought out very quickly. Bonus!<br />

<br />
This was their homemade black spaghetti with seafood. It was well cooked, and the seafood was delicious. Portion size was a little smaller than most places, but still substantial. The seafood was fresh and tasty, and the spaghetti had a mild flavour. It was a nice dish, however, I felt that it lacked a little... flavour? I'm not entirely sure what it was missing, but while it was a great dish, it certainly wasn't amazing.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The gnocchi was also homemade, and was served with zucchini and smoked scarmorza cheese. All up, the dish had a very mild taste to it. The gnocchi had a more sticky, mochi-like consistency, which I tend not to prefer with my gnocchi. I like it when it is more light and fluffy, although in all honesty I am clueless with what is the more authentic style. This dish was nice, but a little too bland for my liking.</div>

We originally had ordered the chocolate parfait, however they weren't available that day. Instead, they made this pannacotta with white chocolate and raspberry sauce. This was such a surprisingly dense, creamy and rich pannacotta. It almost was too rich by the end! I especially like the cute little lovehearts on this one.</div>

<br />
This was deliciously refreshing. Peach semifreddo served on a biscuit that was puffed brown rice and chocolate wafer. It was so nice to eat in the warm weather! Again, the semifreddo was much creamier than I expected. I am a huge fan of anything creamy, so I was very happy with this.<br />

All in all, Daverro is a great place to go if you want to enjoy the sunshine, and have a conversation with something in a serene and pretty environment. I would highly recommend the place for tea and a dessert! The staff are all extremely friendly, and are good conversationalists. I think I would like to try it again, perhaps for dinner so I can sit in the beautiful outdoor area.</div>

There weren't a whole lot of places open on New Years Day, so when we came across Kuza in Vic Park, we thought we'd give it a go. It has a very modern and more upmarket interior, with a monochrome colour scheme and a feature wall filled with various Japanese wines and sake bottles.<br />

<b><br /></b>
We ordered drinks first while perusing the menu, and the drink that caught our eye was this amazing iced rose tea with lychee, strawberries and mint. This was a most refreshing and tasty iced tea, especially given the high temperature that day. The tea flavour itself was very mild, but the rose and lychee was a really lovely combination. It was sweet without being sickly and the fruit added great flavours to the drink. I absolutely love rose flavoured anything, so this was definitely a winner for myself.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our first entree to arrive was this modern take on the お好み焼き(okonomiyaki), or Japanese seafood pancake. This particular version was quite nice, though the seafood flavour was not that strong, and the overall consistency was not as thick and doughy as the traditional ones. Other than that, it was still a nice start to our meal.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was a really interesting dish. Fried oysters covered with panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), and served with a potato and mayonnaise sauce. I personally found the crumbed exterior to be too overpowering for the oysters, however, the dipping sauce was the most delicious surprise! It tasted like a very gourmet potato salad, and was well flavoured and complemented the oysters really well. It was definitely one of my favourite touches from this place.</div>

This is one of my favourite dishes to order at Japanese restaurants! The one I like the most so far is at Satsuki, and while this one was definitely one of the better entrees, it just doesn't quite compare. Still tasty though, so I can't complain!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
On to the mains! I simply had to get the うなぎ (unagi = eel) lunch set. Anything that comes in a set is always fine by me. Possibly one of the many reasons I am always travelling to Japan. The cutest touch to this set was that the 卵(egg) was branded with the restaurant's name!<br />

Serena decided to try one their ramen. She went with the original ramen with pork. The main thing is that it came with a soft boiled egg, which not enough ramen dishes seem to come with! Other than that, the broth was quite tasty and the pork well cooked.<br />

<br />
It is finally December, which means we can finally put those textbooks aside and focus on getting ready for the festive season. A must have item for Christmas is an advent calendar because not only is it a fun way to count down to the big day but who needs an excuse to get a little treat every day? I've compiled my ultimate advent calendar list for everyone who hasn't gotten one yet, it's not too late!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<h3>
<b>The beauty advent calendars </b></h3>
<br />
These usually are quite rare in Australia but this year I've noticed a lot more beauty calendars popping up in Australian stores though at slightly higher prices.<br />
<br />
<i>Benefit Big 12 Party Poppers ($78, valued at $93)</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZTISvZw5ZOB3pev9Gkqryn9up9NNy0Pk06M8wGiyBUTimSVaOvb9Tj1SSEzb9p0Gplq8dxRNWQRmLPZnm3wZp0JCA7mP4hwfpBGUDLUwoG7jDGKiIU0_JEXu8aGw9-oHj43FTCLP8Y83B/s1600/benefit_party_poppers_holidays_2015_pretaeloira_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZTISvZw5ZOB3pev9Gkqryn9up9NNy0Pk06M8wGiyBUTimSVaOvb9Tj1SSEzb9p0Gplq8dxRNWQRmLPZnm3wZp0JCA7mP4hwfpBGUDLUwoG7jDGKiIU0_JEXu8aGw9-oHj43FTCLP8Y83B/s320/benefit_party_poppers_holidays_2015_pretaeloira_1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
This calendar is the perfect treat for make up lovers, with 12 days of sample sized Benefit products including favourites such as they're real! mascara, lollitint lip and cheek tint and POREfessional pore minimiser. It also plays an original 'Bene-song' jingle when you open it but beware it is also light sensitive so when you open the curtains in the morning don't get scared when it suddenly starts singing!<br />

<i>Myer beauty box ($160)</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was so excited to see Myer offering this beauty box because I think it's one of the first major Australian department stores to do so. Although, it's on the pricier side it does contain make up and skincare products from brands like YSL, Lancôme, Giorgio Armani and Kiehls as well as a few mini perfume bottles. They only have 2000 of these for the whole of Australia so I would order one as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Loccitane advent calendar ($70)</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A more reasonably priced beauty calendar with 17 beauty products, the majority of which are foot/hand creams but also including oils and eau du toilettes. It also has 7 Provençal gifts, which are miscellaneous items like gift tags and stickers. Although I like the price of this calendar, I think I would have preferred it to contain all Loccitane products instead of the little crafty bits and pieces.<br />
<i><br /></i>

There are two versions of this calendar: standard or deluxe. The difference between the standard (green) and the deluxe (red) version is mainly that the deluxe calendar is much bigger in size because it contains more larger/full sized products and a few more make up products instead of skincare. The green one seems to be selling out very quickly probably because of the cheaper price. I recommend looking at the contents list on the body shop website if you don't mind the spoilers as the calendars do contain different products from each other.<br />

This calendar has 24 deluxe mini products from a variety of popular brands such as Benefit, Essie, Lancôme, La Roche-Posay, philosophy, SK-II and St Tropez. It's similar to the Myer Beauty box but has more types of products (nail polish, primers, moisturisers, body oils...). Note: there's free shipping to Australia :)<br />

Organic, dairy free, gluten free, soya free and vegan. What I love about this calendar is that it contains tasty dark chocolate and doesn't give me that intense sugar rush I get after eating the chocolates from those generic grocery store advent calendars.<br />

I absolutely love this calendar because behind each window is two baby truffles so both you and a friend get a fancy chocolate at the same time. Each truffle is uniquely flavoured including Pecan Gingerbread, Cinnamon Praline and Salted Caramel Cream. They also have normal advent calendars which comes in white, milk or dark chocolate which is perfect for those with a preference to a certain type, which can be harder to find in the grocery store.<br />
<br />
I hope this helps you score some last minute advent calendars especially to my fellow Australians where it requires some research. The calendars I've listed are still available as I'm writing this but as expected they are are disappearing off the shelves fast so go, go, go! Are there any that I'm missing from this list? If so please spread the Christmas cheer by mentioning it in the comments section below ;)<br />

This was our first time dining at Kailis Bros for lunch, and it proved to be just as good as we had expected.<br />
<br />
There's the fish market on one side, with plenty of fresh fish and seafood on display for purchase. And then on the other side is the restaurant, a great balance of homely and formal, with ample space between tables. The staff were all very friendly and were quick to provide an activity sheet for our little guest.<br />
<br />

To start off with I ordered a variety of oysters! There were the natural oysters, which were fresh and tasty with a squeeze of lemon, the kilpatrick and my personal favourite (and quite the novelty) a tempura version with wasabi mayo. It was so light and crunchy, without that heavy batter taste and just tasted absolutely delicious.</div>

For my main I went with a fish pie which was so large! But it was so tasty, I still managed to finish it all. The pastry was light and flaky, and the inside was a creamy fish stew with potatoes and other vegetables. Definitely worth a try!</div>

I'd been wanting to try for a while, but never really needed to. I figured seeing as I was running out of a few products, I'd give it a go!<br />
<br />
In terms of the site itself, Sasa has a huge variety of products and stock many Asian brands that can be difficult to find, even online! There is free standard shipping available if your purchase is over $100, and I was pleasantly surprised that even with standard shipping it only took just under two weeks for my package to arrive.<br />

I've always been curious about charcoal toothpaste, so I figured this would be a great time to give it go. Apparently it's meant to be more whitening than normal toothpaste.

For the past two years, I have been religiously using the Etude House BB cream, which I still really like using. However, in the spirit of trying new products, I decided to try a different brand. I've heard from friends and family that Innisfree is a great natural brand that is of good quality. I'm always a little concerned about matching my skin tone when buying online, but hopefully this turns out well.</div>

Probably my favourite Japanese drugstore brand, Marjolica Marjorca was also one of the first makeup brands I ever used when I first started using makeup. The products are always affordable and of good quality. It's been quite a few years since I last used a mascara from them, and I'd been reading about this newest formula in their range. Apparently, this Lash King is supposed to be both lengthening and volumising!<br />

On my most recent trip to Japan, I became absolutely obsessed with collagen drinks, and got into the habit of buying one every morning to have with breakfast. Unfortunately, here in Australia, buying collagen drinks is impossible, so when I found out about this collagen and hyaluron powder, I had to buy it. It is a little pricey, at $60 for this can, however you only need one spoonful of it per drink, so it should last a while. Now I can still have my collagen drink every day!</div>

All in all, I've been very happy with the service from Sasa, and am super happy with all my products so far! I'll definitely be posting up more detailed reviews of the products, because I really like them all so far.</div>

If you're needing a bit of a sugar kick, this bakery has got lots of baked goodies and an interesting selection of vintage trinkets to peruse in while your food is getting ready. Glass jars filled with childhood favourites like fruit loops and sherbet cones mixed with the accompanying scent of sugar in the air were enough to get me feeling like a kid in a candy store. So when I saw the crowded counter topped with cupcakes, cookies and brownies (oh my!), my excitement level had peaked. Despite the small seating area, we managed to get a table straight away, giving me some time to snap some photos and deliberate some more over what I should try from the cabinet next time. Apologies for the lower quality photos, the place was quite dimly lit and it was getting dark outside but hopefully you get the idea :)<br />

<i>Chai latte</i></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-align: left;">Milky and topped with cinnamon sugar (how could they not?). The chai flavour could've been a bit stronger as after eating all our sweet treats I needed something to balance out the sweetness. </span>Intrigued by the pretty pink liquid, Sara ordered the rose lemonade (on the drink shelf in the first photo) and although I'm personally not a fan of carbonated drinks I did try a few sips. The rose flavour was strong and I can imagine this would make the perfect summer picnic drink. While we were trying our drinks, the man on the table next to us asked if he could use our sugar pot for his coffee so perhaps there needs to be some sugar packets or pots available on every table?</span></div>

<i>Cookie dough cronut</i></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Coated in a icing glaze, white chocolate drizzle, a sphere of egg free cookie dough then finished with a sprinkle of crunchy granulated sugar on top; this cronut was definitely more exciting then the usual filled ones. The inside revealed lots of golden flaky layers and a surprise lighter cookie dough flavoured mousse which helped to emphasise the flavour in every bite. There were lots of different components but they all worked together without being overwhelmingly sweet.</span></div>

<i>Raspberry and white chocolate blondie</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A good sized slab of buttery, crumbly goodness with bursts of chewy dried cranberries and a slight saltiness from the pistachios, this was a blondie done right. Blondies tend to err on the too sweet side since they are made from white chocolate especially when there's dried fruit involved but this blondie had a great balance between salty and sweet.</div>

<b>Overall</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A great tea time place with a large selection of tempting treats. My only suggestion would be to have a drink menu on display so people are aware of prices and what's on offer before they reach the counter. Also a glass of water would have been nice to accompany the food just to wash down the sweetness a bit. Other than that this place is worth a visit to try their creative cronut flavours, I guarantee your sweet tooth craving will most definitely be satisfied!</div>

But there are ways of making the commute a pleasant experience!<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Music</b>: Listening to the right playlists can set your mood for the day. Feeling tired? Listen to upbeat, energetic music to keep your spirits up. </li>
<li><b>Headphones: </b>Investing in a good quality pair of headphones will help distract you from the mundane travel.</li>
<li><b>Reading material</b>: This is the best time to catch up on your reading! Whether it's just getting lost in the world of fiction, or learning new things, bringing a book or magazine will help to pass the time.</li>
<li><b>Coat, scarf and/or gloves: </b>Now that it's winter, using public transport can be super cold, especially when waiting for buses and trains. Ensure you're layering up against the wind!</li>
<li><b>Umbrella: </b>You never know when it's going to rain, and walking in it is certainly not fun at all!</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These five essentials will help to make that daily commute a little bit easier and make it feel like it's going faster. Hopefully it makes your day brighter too!<br />

Arriving in Leederville just a few minutes past 7, the usual hustle and bustle of the brunch food strip was absent and everything was dark apart from an inviting glow coming out from a tiny little store with mismatching blankets and little succulents out front. Walking into Pixel, you instantly feel a little at home with it's grand total of four tables and a counter, fresh flowers on every table and quirky mermaid prints on the walls. Even though the area was so small, it's not claustrophobic as the white walls and long wooden tabletops do well to open up the space. I was surprised to see people already ordering coffee and food from the cabinet but with just the right amount of quiet chatter, no noisy coffee machines and the smell of food cooking; I can see why this cosy café makes the ideal early morning hang out.<br />

<span style="font-size: 13px;"><i>Chai latte</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not very sweet and topped with a thick layer of glossy foam (as in one quarter of the drink was foam!) and my favourite crusty cinnamon sugar top. It had a good amount of spice and tasted more authentic then those chai lattes made from pre-made powder mixes and syrups favoured by most franchises. Something I liked was that it was served at a good warm temperature since I always am too eager to try my drink and end up with a burnt mouth.</div>

I don't drink coffee but it certainly looked beautiful in the pale blue crockery. D ended up ordering a second cup of coffee in a different blend to have with the cake and said that it was just as good as Typika.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I tend to choose the sweeter breakfast options but today I felt like a savoury egg dish. The poached eggs were slightly firmer than expected but thankfully still had a runny yolk. The pumpkin was quite hard making it tough to cut through but tasted nice with the soft cheese and crunchy nuts and seeds scattered around the plate. The herbs were fresh and helped to lighten the dish despite it's hearty elements. Maybe I was a bit more hungry than usual but I felt like it could've done with another slice of bread especially as the slices were on the smaller side and there was enough toppings to eat with it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As suggested in the name, this is an ideal winter dish with the rich yolks from the egg mixing with all the crispy crunchy elements served on a bed of smooth polenta. It looked delicious and stands out against the usual mushies dish served with poached eggs, tomatoes and toast.</div>

<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sara ordered the porridge, which is totally out of character since she is firmly against ordering porridge and museli out (unlike me who loves a good café porridge). Luckily for her, she was very pleased with her choice and found it just as filling as a traditional hot breakfast although she thought the pear was a bit too hard. I also had a taste and loved the natural sweetness and nutty, oaty blend of grains used.</div>

I know you're thinking, 'Cake for breakfast? Really?' but once you've scrolled through pages of photos of their made in house, beautiful whole cakes topped with flowers, meringues, fresh fruit and dripping with icing on their instagram page; we could not walk out of Pixel without trying some. Since we were there so early, there was only two half cakes on offer: lemon raspberry cake and hummingbird cake.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13px;"><i>Hummingbird cake</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A thick slab of carrot slice with a nice layer of cream cheese frosting which was so moist that it didn't become a crumbly mess when you cut a piece. Mixed into the cake were pecans for an added crunch, pineapple, carrot and then it was topped with freeze dried raspberries for a slight tang and the obligatory flowers. I was very impressed with the serving size and taste of this cake.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Totally instagram worthy with its pretty pastel layers, this slice was definitely the best looking thing on display this morning. Served cold, the flavours were subtle with an almost icey texture and would make a great treat in summer. Like most raw treats, it wasn't too sweet. I personally preferred the hummingbird cake better but Sara loved this slice particularly the base.</div>

It was easy to see the thought that went into the presentation with a simple bowl of porridge jazzed up with a sprinkle of seeds and colourful flowers. Even though we walked in almost right on opening time, the staff were friendly and prompt; bringing us menus straight away and showing us to our seats. They were also well informed on the taste of the different coffee blends and gave us helpful suggestions on which foods to try from the cabinet. Thanks for a great start to the morning Pixel!</div>

My skin hasn't been this clear in almost two years now, and it's thanks to the Ibuki range from Shiseido. I've never had acne prone skin, even throughout my teenage years, but for some reason I started developing little breakouts on my forehead around two years ago, and they would just keep returning. I have tried various brands, but just haven't been as satisfied as I have with this range so far.<br />
<br />
Shiseido is a globally renowned Japanese brand, famous for their well-researched skincare products. Their Ibuki range is one of their newer ranges, and focuses on rejuvenating the skin by hydrating and increasing resistance to breakouts and visible pores.<br />

I decided to test out a mini pack while I was holidaying in Malaysia, and I was so pleased with the results that I ended up buying the full size products once I returned home to Perth. I really like all the products, but I'd like to focus especially on the cleanser, softening concentrate and emulsion, which were standout products for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
Shiseido Ibuki Gentle Cleanser:<br />
This cleanser definitely lived up to its name by not irritating my sensitive skin at all! It has a light, pleasant smell, and lathers up into a dense foam very easily. It is very light and refreshing on the skin, and effectively removes impurities and excess makeup.<br />
<br />
How to use:<br />
After removing makeup, just squeeze a small amount into your hands, add water and lather into a rich foam.<br />
Apply all over your face, taking care to gently massage the product in.<br />
Rinse the product off with warm water.<br />
<br />
My skin didn't feel dry or sticky at all afterwards, and the cleanser helps to prep the skin for the next step; the softener.<br />
<br />
Shiseido Ibuki Softening Concentrate:<br />
Used directly after cleansing, the softener is used to intensely hydrate the skin and helps to enhance the effects of the products that are used after. The Ibuki softener has been formulated with PhytoResist Complex, which is meant to increase skin resistance against pore infections and enlarging.<br />
<br />
How to use:<br />
Pat a small amount gently all over the face.<br />
<br />
This feels like a more liquified version of moisturiser, and definitely feels extremely hydrating.<br />
<br />
Shiseido Ibuki Refining Moisturiser:<br />
The purpose of the refining moisturiser is to renew the skin's surface and reduce enlarged pores, clear blemish marks and combat breakouts.<br />
<br />
How to use:<br />
This should be applied straight after using the softening concentrate, even if your skin still feels a little wet, as it helps to lock in all that moisture.<br />
<br />
It feels very hydrating on, and yet it is very light on the skin. For someone with dry skin, such as myself, my skin has never felt more moisturised than it has with this product.<br />
<br />
What I really like about this range is that despite it being extremely moisturising, it never feels heavy or as if it is clogging your pores at all. My skin is no longer dry, my pores have decreased in size, and I no longer have any temperamental little breakouts on my face at all.<br />
<br />
For more information on these products, and the other products in the Ibuki range, please visit the Shiseido website: https://www.shiseido.com.au/lines/ibuki/<br />
<br />
Shiseido is available in both David Jones and Myer, and both offer the mini trial kits as well if you'd prefer to test out the range.<br />
