Talk about a Benefit

Now I'm sure I'm not alone when it comes to waking up, looking in the mirror and seeing the odd dark circle appearing even though you could swear you got 8 hours sleep last night. But sometimes a girl could use a helping hand when her beauty sleep has failed her.

So why am I loving this new little gem you may ask??? Simply because it helped to

fade some of the dark circles under my eyes. Which meant less concealer and made me feel better. Ok so what girl doesn't want to look rested.

Apparently it contains a peptide complex known to help restore elasticity & firmness, a blend of hydrating botanical extracts including apple extract, known to help boost collagen, & loquat extract, known to help protect the skin from free radical damage. Well that's they tell me. Personally all I'm happy it worked, was well priced and came in this ultra cute jar.

You gotta love it when a cute jar can bring you so many smiles

Your Misson......i

Well its in the mid-winter point of the year, sure most of us have been hiding under layers of our winter woolies however I'm setting myself a mission.

My mission is to hit the shops with $50 and revamp my makeup drawer. Thats right I only have $50 which means I have to find some fantastic gems.

Right time to get my heels on and start shopping.....see you at a shopping centre soon.

Behind the scenes

Ok so this isn't my normal sort of post but its that time of year again, the Melbourne Motor Show and I'm here at very busy night before it opens. Ok they are modern cars but they are still gorgeous to look at.

What you may not know is before any big exhibition ends up all shiny and pretty for you to walk around it all gets delivered in boxes like this. So it was time to put on my stunning High-Vis vest, roll up my sleeves and help the team at Whole Bean.

So after many hours of lift, moving and getting our section all sorted, it was time to enjoy the cars before the crowds came. However I figured you might all like a sneak peak.

See told you there were still some classics for this rockabilly gal!!!

30. A song I'd like to play at my wedding
Alien Like You by The Pigott Brothers

To end my musical journey I thought I'd finish with the song I'd like to play at my wedding. Sure I could pick a classical piece to walk down the aisle to however that wouldn't really be me. In fact the song I would like to hear playing for my first dance with my husband too is one I discovered by accident while watching a tv show called Being Erica. After some digging (thanks Kendiedoll for the shovel LOL) it turns out the the person playing Kai is Sebastian Pigott actually sang this song with his brother when they auditioned for Canadian Idol - not my usual hunting ground for music. These guys are amazing and yes I grabbed the song from itunes and play it alot. So you may be wondering why this song. Simply because it speaks to me about the connection you can find with someone. The connection that creates a spark and love can blossom from. So please sit back, listen and try and imagine me and my future husband (whoever he is) dancing to this surrounded by our friends and family.
Good night and God Bless

28. A song from the last CD I bought
Hero by Regina Spektor

Yep I still by CD's, its not all itunes for me. The last CD I bought was the soundtrack to 500 days of summer, a great movie if you haven't seen it. Just be warned its not your average love story. Personally I don't find it a big surprise that I've picked this song from the album as I already love and own a lot of Regina's music. Yet for some reason this one haunts me more than most, a rare treat of her work and I great introduction if you have never listened to her before.

27. A Song by an artist I didn't know I liked
The Rain performed by Horrorshow

Thankfully I listen to an Australian 'youth' radio station called Triple J who broadcast an amazing depth of music from around the world; and best of all a lot of great Australian artist are played as well. If you've read my blog I always comment on the Hottest 100 which is an annual of listener voted songs from 100 to 1 of their favourite songs released in the previous year. Anyway enough of them and to the song. I've picked the rain performed by Horrowshow as it speaks to me when I'm feeling down.
