Magic Soap

 Dr Bronners Magic Soap
This is my new favourite cosmetic. It is an 18-in-1 organic hemp liquid soap. You can use it for washing your hair, body, face, teeth, as a dishwashing liquid, for clothes, for pets, for the house, everything. It is made from completely organic oils, so its kind to the environment, plus it is highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way (at only $7.90 a bottle, its well worth a try ). It also comes in various personality-friendly  scents (Lavender, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Almond, Baby Mild), I have Rose, and it smells like Turkish delight! Ive bought three as presents already. Oh, and I think the packaging is oh-so-cute. I love writing.

Black + Plaits + Chiffon



Getting ready to go out. For some reason I felt the need to take a photo of my newly plaited do, because I was so proud that I could plait it by myself! Yay, hair and stuff.

Inspiration.









Things that look like a lot of fun.
Fiona Green inspiration wall (am very excited to have a clear wall at my new house) /  Devon Aoki / Lukas Gansterer gimp party / Cute outfits with fur coats, chunky heeled boots, fringes and socks / Lavender nailpolish (still my favourite) and smoking pretty papers / Getting milky on Lukas Gansterers latest project, Milk /  The ever stylish couple that are Charlotte Kemp and Sean Lennon / Ending your time in a big new city.

Wrap me up.



I miss wearing big scarves! I lived in them back home, and now its 40 degree heat and I dont want to wear any clothes at all. I once got told by a boy at uni that he had never not seen me in a gigantic scarf, like I secretly didn't have a neck or something.

This is a personality test that I stumbled across in the mind section of the museum.
My personality type is apparently - independent.
Rather appropriate I thought (whilst roaming the museum halls with my independent self).

Pieces of Melbourne.


 Staring out the window (a very nice window frame, wooden blinds, peeling paint and a concrete sill), meeting my neighbour Phil, from the level below / drinking Jasmine tea / eating a quinoa + vegetable + nectarine + peanut salad.
Melbourne is a nice place.
