Hello. Meet Axl !!


Hello.
Meet Axl.
D decided he needed another penis in the house so he bought Axl.
A boy dog. With a boy penis. Ew.
But I love him.
He fits in perfectly.
Taco and Axl are friends.
Thank god I haven't seen Axl's lipstick yet. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW



My new perfume.
It smells like grass.
It's weird but good.
It changes after a few minutes and becomes sweeter.
Give it a go!



I got this random gift set from Sass & Bide.
I haven't tried La Mer before.
Have any of you guys tried it?
Please share experiences!
I will try them when I get back from Bali.
The Creme De La Mer smells like Nivea Creme.
I'm excited to try the serum!


I am addicted to Beverly Hills 90210.
I just got season 3 tonight! Cant wait to find out what happens.
I got a $122 parking ticket to get it so it better be good!!!

Oh Dylan. You're such a dream boat.
Will you stop your bad boy ways and get back with Brenda?
Will Donna and David be lovers forever?



I love Wagamamas
I always get the spicy yasai itame!
Delicious.



I also love the sweet potato kusabi!
So yummy.



I have always hated croissants. Recently I tried an almond croissants and now I'm a big fan.
I dont think I could ever do a plain or chocolate one though.
It's all about the almond greatness in the middle.
MMmmmmmm arsenicy.


Because of too many treats I now have to do this..
Urban Remedy Juice cleanse.
I start tomorrow.
I'm already starving.
Wah.
This time it has a soup.
I hate soups. I wish it was an option.
I might just drink it cold and see what happens.




I recently met some lovely blog peeps !!
I had a great night!!
Holly from Holly Pop blogged about it
Check it out here!!

Urban Remedy Cleanse Results + Sass&Bide tee + jewellery

Woo!
BUSY week.
I have finished the Urban Remedy cleanse!! Let me say. I DID NOT CHEAT ONCE!
WOO!!
I didn't even have the "okay foods" (celery, cucumber, lettuce)
Nudda. I am v proud.
I can honestly say I didn't get hungry ONCE. I just missed the smell/taste/process of eating. I realised how much I thought about food though. I plan a lot of my day around food. Interesting.

I have to say on Day 2 and Day 3, I REALLY struggled with Juice 3. It's really quite horrid. I only had 2/3 of the bottle on Day 2 and D forced me finish it on Day 3. It's just hard to drink.
Juice 6 really tastes like something that should be slapped on my face at a day spa.

I forgot to take photos of the juices. Dang. Every lunch time I'd remember but then get home and forget!
But here is a photo of the little cooler bag they give you to carry your juices around in !



Okay.
SO
I weighed myself on the morning of Day 1 and the morning after Day 3.
I know you all want to know the numbers.
I lost 3.4kg
I don't know if thats a good thing or bad thing.
Did it mean I was carry a lot of fluids in myself that got flushed out with all the drinking?
Cuz it surely isn't any fat loss.
I did work out during the cleanse though. So perhaps I lost 1kg of real fat? Only time will tell.
I wonder if I would of lost the same if I didn't work out? Probs not.
I also did dry brushing and had 1x 1hr body massage and 1 x 1hr reflexology and shoulder massage.
My skin looks brighter according to D but I dunno.
I think my stomach is a bit flatter.
It's odd that I didn't experience any symptoms as well. I dunno whether that meant I was healthy or my body wasn't flushing toxins. I have no idea.
Oh well. I feel proud for finishing it !!

Here is a couple of photos of some recent buys!
Here is the new cut tee from the "Tomorrow the Great" collection from Sass&Bide.
I like this cut. I told myself I wouldn't buy anymore S&B tees but it didn't seem to last long.
I'm not so sure about this colour of tee. I think it looks a bit "I washed my white tee with my black tee" but D liked it, so I thought I'd give colour a chance!
I like the hemming at the bottom.


Lately I've been really liking S&B jewellery collection.
Here is a a necklace I got..



And a close up of them all...
I couldn't get a good shot of the talon ring because it doesn't stand up on it's on.
My camera didn't want to play focus today either.



I thought I'd share my skin care stuff too.
A few months ago I started using Perricone MD Cold Plasma range and I really love it!
To be honest the smell is OFF but I'm hoping no one comes that close to notice.
*mask with perfume* haha.
This is the ONLY product I've ever used that I've noticed results within 3 days.
My skin just feels smoother and the tone of my skin seems more even. I think I looked fresher. Whatever that is. My skin looks less manky and dry.
You use the cold plasma under your normal daily moisturiser. I use Clinique DDML and it works really well together.



Look at these weird roses I got for home.
Weird huh? I wonder if they grew like this or if they put some sort of dye through a white rose? I have no idea about this sort of thing.
Do pink and white roses growing next to each other kind of "breed" ? HAHA
I dunno. Rose Sex. Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaa.



And a last but not least, my IPAD!!!
YAY. I'm pretty sure I forgot to blog about this.
I was in Perth on the day they came out and I wasn't planning on getting one. The lines were CRAY CRAY in Melbs and Sydney.
At about 3.30pm I was on Hay St and thought I'd go take a look in DJs at the display ones.
Well. I am a sucker because 5 mins later I was swiping my CC and saying "gimme gimme"
No Lines...Nothing!! Thank you PERTH!



Anyway, I am obsessed with playing Words With Friends on my iPad.
My user name is Ninibeee.
Add me and we can play faux scrabble!!!
Tell me who you are from here though so I know your not some random dude who sending me weird pervy msgs. *block*

Okay I must be off!
I really CBF proof reading this post so if it is full of bad grammar and spelling mistakes, please forgive me!!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
:)

Urban Remedy Cleanse : Day 1




YAY! I survived day 1.

I was pretty scared on Tuesday night. Thinking "Why the hell am I doing this?"
I wanted to binge so badly but refrained.
It was just instinct to eat 3 days worth of food!!!

OK so

JUICE 1 :
Apple, Lemon, Cos Lettuce, Celery, Silverbeet, Parsley, Cucumber.
This juice tasted very "detoxy" something I wouldn't choose to drink but tasted like some sort of healthy juice. Ha. I can pick up more on the celery and parsley in this juice than the other flavours. I wish they had used continental parsley instead of regular parsley. Then it might taste like some yummy tabouleh juice!! OOOH YEH! Some nice tabouleh juice for breakfast.
The first juice took me about 30mins to drink because I was excited about starting detox.

JUICE 2 :
Pinapple, Apple, Mint. This sounds delicious!! It's pretty much tastes just like straight up pineapple juice though. I can't taste the mint at all ! I wish they went heavy on the mint so then I could pretend it was a mojito and i was back at Cafe Del Mar in Ibiza.
Maybe I can add extra mint? That would be nice!
I might email them and ask them!!
Surely that would be okay to add fresh mint leaves? Because I can drink peppermint tea.
I'm excited by this.

JUICE 3 :
Orange, Acai Berry, Cucumber, Pineapple, Carrot, Broccoli. This was my least fav of the group. It's taste is just like ass and i was in struggle town. I had to just gulp it down without thinking.
After juice 3 I had a nice peppermint tea. It really helped feel warm and content.
I have to remember " NO PAIN NO GAIN" I knew it wouldn't all be easy.

JUICE 4:
I had juice 4 at about 5pm so I considered it my "dinner juice" HAHA. I kinda feels way because it has Beetroot, Carrot, Apple, Lemon, Spirulina and Ginger. But you really only taste the beetroot. I think there should be more ginger.
But WARNING: Use a straw with this juice. I didn't bring a straw out with me and I had to drink it from the bottle. You get beetroot stain all over your mouth and lips and look like you've been sucking someone's blood a la True Bloods fav lesbian vampire Pam.

JUICE 5:
Before I had Juice 5 I went to Starbucks and got a Venti Peppermint Tea. Yay. They assured me it was herbal and no caffiene. I don't trust Starbucks so I have to ask these questions.
By juice 5 it's now 7pm so by this time I should be hungry but I'm not.
Juice 5 was actually my favourite juice of them all. Lemon, Water, Agave Nectar, Cayenne Pepper. I liked this one a lot and I think it's something I would of bought if I saw it in the shops. Its just a nice refreshing lemony type juice.
I think this juice is very similar to the Lemon Detox Diet.
I don't think I could do this "diet". I just love lemon too much and I fear I'd get sick of lemons forever after having only lemon water for days.
By this time I took a one sip of juice 6 to see what it tasted like and to curb any sugar cravings.

JUICE 6:
Coconut Milk, Raw Cashews, Cinnamon, Vanilla Bean, Water, Agave Nectar.
I thought I would like this juice the most because it was like a dessert juice but i thought it was just okay. I only drank half of the bottle.
I was too tired to finish it.
I wish it had more Cinnamon but I am NUTS for cinnamon.



Zzzz
Anyway
I fell asleep at about 10.30pm last night which I haven't done since I was about 12.
I was so tired. Not sure if it was because a very long busy day or because of detox.
I had to carry around all my juices because I was out all day and night. I hated having to answer to everyone about the detox and why I'm "starving myself"
It became tiring after the 3rd person.
My mum thought I was on a doctor ordered detox. HAHAHA Bless.

Let me tell you one thing though that no one from Urban Remedy told me.
YOU PEE LIKE A MAD WOMAN.
I was peeing all day.
It was embarassing.
I had to pee like every half hour.
Pee Pee Pee.
I thought it was just me but I asked my friend K who is doing the detox as well and it's the same with her too.
Prepare for peeing.
If you are in a job where you can't take breaks to pee then rethink this detox during working days.

I weighed myself yesterday morning before Juice 1 and this morning before Juice 1 and I have lost 2.5kg.
Isn't that mental?
Surely that can't be right. I might of been carrying loads of water weight?
I have no idea.
I was really shocked when I weighed myself.
I thought I'd be about half a kilo lighter.
Weird huh?
I'm not quite sure what to make of it.
My stomach does look flatter but I'm still a bit confused.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
Reading all your comments is making me really motivated!!
I feel like I cannot cheat now.
Not at all !!

I am doing a detox!!



Wahhh.
I am sitting here in bed at 12 terrified of the thought of the next three days.
What have I donnneee???

I read about the Urban Remedy detox on Marlo Perry's blog.
I thought I wanted to try it. I dunno why.
Probably the cutesy packaging.
Lets not lie. I am easily sucked in by things like that.
Hahahhaa.
Ok but more seriously, I think it was because it didn't require pills and powders.
That kind of detox seems weird to me.

For those of you who don't know, I will be drinking 6 juices a day for 3 days and that is it!
You can have water and herbal teas too.

I think I was drawn in by the challenge of not eating for 3 days.
I think there is no way in hell I can pull this off.
I'm trying to remember of the money I'll be flushing down the toilet if I cheat. I will use this as a motivator.
I will try and blog the next three days so I can be honest about my experience.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
I think if when it comes to being told I can't eat something, it's going to be all I think about for the next three days.
Today I kept thinking I need to stock up on three days worth of food so I dont get hungry. Hahah. I resisted temptation mainly.
Although, I did have an extra coffee before dinner.
COFFEE I WILL MISS YOU MY FRIEND, BUT I PROMISE I WILL SEE YOU SOON

Ahhhhhh
I just hope the next three days go by quickly.

I will try and take some photos of recent buys too!
I need to get my ass into gear with this whole blogging thing I know.
I just find myself really not into computer things lately.
The work I've been doing is off computers and out of the house so I guess less time at home as well.
I've learnt a lot about toilets and showers. It's been interesting!!
