Forward Thinking




I would like to think of myself as Fashion Savvy !
I am always aware of whats on Trend & whats HOT & well Whats NOT !!!
Im a Budget Mumma who enjoys the Champagne Lifestyle !!!


I love anything relating to Fashion & Styling  but the big thing is i am the biggest Budget Shopper !!!!!

I always budget for things & always always have something on the cards I'm wanting or wanting to work towards getting for our Family..

Its so easy to rush out buy what you need at the nearest store & be done right ????

Wrong!  Sometimes having a quick check online can save literally Hundreds (Well on big purchase items anyway)by simply shopping around and not rushing out can be huge on savings.

Every little bit adds up !!

And trust me i LOVE to Shop!!!!!

Something i have always done is only ever buy things on Sale !!
Always!!!
If its not on Sale or reduced unless i desperately require it i will not buy it.

I can sit and wait Months for that item to come on Sale but thats me thats my thing!
I get huge satisfaction out of getting something for a bargain  or waiting & eventually buying on Sale.

Don't get my wrong sometimes the wait can drive me crazy but its always worth it in the end.

Hayden is forever saying "How much did you manage to score that for"

I think working in Retail for a number of years you get to see more of what Wholesale Prices are & i just cant justify the mark up Companies put on things !!

Unless its handmade & for a special occasion then i would justify splurging on full price.

When it comes to Clothing
A good *tip is to Shop around at the end of each current season & bulk up on sale items in bigger sizes for the following year,  if you can afford to!
In the long run its incredibly sensible & will work out better for you.

Just this past week i got the Girls some gorgeous clothes for next to nothing $2.00 a item brand new & Licensed  Clothing !

The Week Prior i got King high thread count Sheets at a steal!

But my all time Bargain of the week this week was these gorgeous Ballet Flats for just $1.00 a pair (yes i have brought bigger sizes for next Winter)




Another good *tip when buying New Clothes is to just buy a few key pieces for each season in Colours that will tie in with a range of things & then just get your basic essentials to wear with it.









Birthdays + Xmas i to shop well in advance buying Sale items along the way throughout the year ready to help take pressure off at the busiest crazy time of year which can also be most financially straining & stressful if not prepared !

Xmas 2016 is well under way buying my first items in February this year !
This intern might seem ridiculous to some & thats ok I'm not here to please everyone I'm purely giving my insight to those that might be struggling & at a loss.







Budgeting is beneficial for everything including Holidays !
One thing we would never do is book through a Travel Agent.

If you have the time you could allocate to sit down & research you will save yourself so much $$$$
I even compare prices through Travel agents & Email a number of places with Dates & Carriers i would like to use & they aren't even in the ball park of what you could book yourself if you have the time to invest into planning your Holiday.
This includes any Sight seeing & Shows you wish to go to whilst away.


Why am i telling you all this??
Because Life is really expensive it costs a fortune to Live these days & my Goal is to Live Life to the Max see as much as i can & that means on a Budget !!!

We are a one income Family but Boy do we have Goals!!!

My Bucket List is huge!!!!!

And why shouldn't it be ?

As i start to get better i feel much more positive and feel i have a good handle on this situation with my face. Its healing and is getting much better. Being inside was awful its so hard to not go out and enjoy the fresh air and do things, I also love the sun so having to avoid that is awful. Its funny to think that from now on i will have to wear a hat and cover up. Today for the first time i went to Story time at the library with Aaliyah and didn't wear a scratch of make up no moisturizer nothing (not that i had a choice in the matter) And it honestly didn't actually bother me at all. I even forgot that i wasn't wearing make up. Now coming from me who never leaves the house with out a full face of make up on , that is quite big. I actually feel really good about it and believe that this is my reason for this to happen to me, to help me grow as a person and feel more confident bearing all for the world to see. People that are naturally beautiful and used to not wearing m

Beautiful Sleep

Sleep  I love everything about sleep yet don't get the luxury of enjoying it very often at all. All my life i have suffered server sleep issues and from earliest memories i recall being stuck awake at night oh so wishing to just be able to sleep. I recall staying down the Marlborough sounds ,NZ at my grandparents house June and Lionel Hawkins. All us 3 girls being tucked away upstairs in our room all together nattering away non stop until one by one my sisters fell asleep then there was just me, Left wide awake desperate to just get to sleep now the fun was over. My Nana would come in late at night to see if we were asleep and every time sure enough id be wide awake in bed. So on numerous occasions she would take me off downstairs with her and make me a milky Milo to help to settle me enough to sleep (hopefully). You see my Nana suffers the same sleep issues and has told me she to lies awake in bed hours on end just trying to get to sleep. What makes matters worse

That crazy thing called Life experience

I find even though i may be growing older, Its true the older you get the more wise you become. Although i miss things about my youth ie. Having nothing to worry about other than myself & what i want to do that particular day & wear, The no responsibility's & being accountable for know one other than myself! And all other things associated with this type of thing. Basically that's all i do miss. You see i wasn't the nicest of people when i was younger & although i wouldn't change a lot of things i wish i had treated people nicer & respected myself more. The older i become the more i grow wiser & understand things better I also feel i am growing into my own person more and have my own Style and Flare. I am now confident enough to head in any direction i please with confidence that i will be excepted and its ok to make mistakes and not succeed at everything. I had loved Photography when younger but wasn't confident enough
