Means that I have to pay attention to Holiday Tipping. What is it exactly? Read this Holiday Tipping guide and find out. We don’t have a doorman so we just have to worry about our Super and the two maintenance staff. We lucked out with them so we don’t even blink at the thought of…
Show Day!
Sorry to be jumping around on blog posts… here we are back in Australia! On Sunday (aka the day after the Grand Final) the plan was to avoid all news, tv shows and phone calls we could about the football. The Royal Melbourne Show (aka The Show) was the PERFECT solution to all those post-Grand…
One year ago today…
We got married! We exchanged vows, we celebrated and we laughed through the whole day. The past year has been wonderful in the ‘life is so normal’ way. We had adventures, we’ve eaten cold pizza for breakfast, we’ve crossed things of to-do lists, we’ve mopped the kitchen floor, we’ve fallen asleep watching TV. We’ve. That…
Nail update
New mani yesterday! Here is CND Shellac in Cocoa. My salon has just become fully stocked in Gelish polishes so I may try them next time. Love this color for Thanksgiving week!
One little confession…
I love Days of our Lives. I have got back into it after being off the bandwagon for some time – a few years ago I was absolutely obsessed. To the point of getting Soap World magazine and Soap Opera Digest. A little heads up – if you want to start watching it OR you…
Two Aussies, A Geordie and An American….
… walk in to a Texan BBQ place in New York City. It really did happen! This week Chris, one of my footy pals from Melbourne (who is now going to be living in the UK) was visiting New York so we caught up for BBQ with him and his bride-to-be, Deb, who is from…
OPI Axxium Vs CND Shellac Vs… whatever
Another beauty post! I love manicures and pedicures and early last year, when I found out about a new longlasting manicure I was super excited. Back then, there were only a few salons in the city doing OPI Axxium so I decided on one on 5th Avenue and got the Barefoot Contessa color. This lasted…
Clarisonic Mia
I had the Clarisonic Mia stuck in my Sephora wish list for a long time. Then I read Veronica’s review and I just had to have it. I was lucky because surprise surprise, I got my Sephora VIB 20% off voucher in the mail the same week, so I took the plunge. The worst thing?…
Foo Fighters at Madison Square Garden
Last night we went to see the Foo Fighters at Madison Square Garden. In 2008, before I even moved here, Bill went to see them at the Garden and I saw them in Melbourne with Frannie. How things change in a few years! It was also milestone as I was finally seeing my first concert…
One day in Sept… oops… October
Back on to posts on the Australian trip. Sorry for getting a little sidetracked. On my last post we were at the Grand Final Parade. When Saturday rolled around, it was Grand Final Day. The game came and went in a blur. Bill would watch the game at home with mum and dad, I’d be…
