How are we?
Been a minute since I've done a written post. I feel like just typing away so here's a little personal update for you beautiful people.
First things first, I've started working! Yes, after almost 2 years of being out of the work scene, I am back. Not permanently, and it's only three days a week but hey, it's somethin'. If you're wondering why I haven't been working for almost two years, that's because I was, up until Monday, a full-time mama. My son is only a year old and I can't bear to put him into daycare just yet. Most mummies will agree with me when I say we don't want to miss out on our kids while they're babies. Because as soon as they are in school (like my daughter), all of a sudden you don't know where the time went and they're talking back and telling white lies and refusing to eat their lunch. Sigh.
Anyway, an opportunity came up for me to work part-time at a car dealership with my sister - doing a different role, and I took it! Beez and I had talked about me going back to work for a while now, not because we need the extra income (Beez is killing it in that department), but because I just need to get out of the house sometimes and see new faces. Stay-at-home mums know what I mean. So yes! That's my biggest update so far.
Um, can we talk about my new blog template? Isn't it amazing? I frickin LOVE it. It's exactly how I wanted my blog to look. Minimal, modern, monochrome. Not too busy and easy to navigate. Do you love?
What else? Oh, we're going on our first ever holiday as a family. We're only going interstate, to sunny Queensland, because a long overseas plane ride + baby = TORTURE for everybody on that plane and I'm just not down for that. I refuse to be that parent who's child/children is losing their shit because they're scared of the turbulence or their ears pop or they simply can't keep still in their seat/can't comprehend why they can't just run around and do whatever they want. We'll be in QLD at the start of next month, the beginning of Spring. I can't wait to take the kids to Dreamworld and just explore and spend quality time as a family in a different place.
You guys might've seen in my latest vlog (last post) that I've gone lighter! My hair, I mean. About two weeks ago I went to my friend's salon and she worked her magic on me. I had fine foils put in as opposed to a full head of colour, because my hair was pretty damaged from the last few times I'd gotten it bleached in a desperate attempt to go grey. I got over it quickly and was so thankful Cindy took care of my hair as best as she could. And then, she hooked a gurl up! With so much hair treatments and care products. I vowed to take care of my hair as much as I take care of my skin and hopefully will have long, luscious locks in no time.
The last half of the year is without a doubt, always, the busiest time for me. So many family members' and friends' birthdays to even count. I just know it's going to be a hectic time. Exhausting, but I just love it.
I've also been trying to be more consistent with my training lately. I try to go to the gym at least three out of seven days, hopefully all these birthdays and events and holidays I've got planned don't ruin my streak. I've learned to really love it and my body's started to feel pretty crappy when I haven't gone in a couple days. I guess that's a good thing. Eating healthy is just another battle in itself. I am too easily tempted although I am trying to resist. It will take some time to cut all the bad stuff out, but I'll get there one day!
On a different note, I have been completely addicted to two tv series' lately. The 100 and Orphan Black. If you're looking for new shows to get into, those two would be my top recommendations for the moment. The 100 has a couple of Aussies in it that I recognized from Neighbours and Home and Away back in the day, making me love it even more and Orphan Black is just too intense to not binge watch.
Well. This post has turned into quite the life story hasn't it. My son is waking up from his nap so I should end it here. Okay, one more thing.
Thanks for all the love I've been getting lately on my blog. I check my stats every couple of days just out of curiousity and my page views per day have gone up by hundreds in the last couple weeks. Not to mention the international readers?! Crazy. This is purely a hobby and it's so weird to me that other people actually come on here and are interested in what I have to say.
Anyway. Gotta go. Hope you enjoyed this "little" update. 'Til next time.
