THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS

They may not be raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings

But these are a few of my favourite things...

MEET BOSTON

Named after one of my favourite cities in the world, this is my dog Boston. For those true dog lovers, your pet really is one of your best friends. Boston enjoys catching flies, peanut butter toast and sleeping under the bed.

BREAKFAST

Sunny weekend mornings or even lazy week days, there is nothing better than catching up with friends over an indulgent breakfast. Pancakes, French toast, omelettes, bacon and eggs; breakfast is undoubtedly the MOST underrated and overjoyed meal of the day.
My favourite places to go to breakfast is Zanetti in Ivanhoe (132 Upper Heidelberg Road,
Ivanhoe) or when the city calls, Degraves.

TINTED MOISTURISER

Despite a red satin box overflowing with make-up, Benefit's You Rebel Tinted Moisturiser in Lite is still undoubtedly one of my favourite products. In my opinion, the versatility and quality of this product is yet to be matched by any other brand. Rosy smell, SPF 15 and old school tube of paint packaging, this tinted moisturiser works great as either your primer that goes under your foundation or replace the foundation altogether for a light smooth coverage.
Benefit products are available in most Myer stores.
This tinted moisturiser retails at $55 from Myer.

RAIN BOOTS

Splish, Splash, Splosh! Rain boots not only keep your feet nice and dry when you miss those muddy winter puddles, they can also be a very stylish and very adorable accessory. There are a range of ones that you can get that not only double as water proof wear but possibly the must have shoes for a chic winter.

My fave ones are my Hunter boots (mine are the Original Gloss Short Wellington Boots in Black, Hunter has a myriad of really cute colours). I only paid around ₤55 or AUS $90 for my pair. If I were to buy mine from Melbourne, the only place I found them was from the boutique Cactus Jam in QV for around $140 so I think I definitely got myself a bargain.

Other Rain boots that are on my wishlist...

Vivienne Westwood and Melissa West End Rain Boots

Burberry Rain Boots

KIWIfruit

ki·wi fruit (also kiwifruit)

• n. (pl. same) a fruit obtained from the eastern Asian climbing plant Actinidia chinensis

The most amazing fruit in the entire universe...
The feeling of digging your spoon into its firm green core after it's been kept cool in the fridge on a 30 degree day is what I live for...AMAZING. Plus, Kiwifruit is very healthy (high fibre content and rich in antioxidants!)
If you're ever in New Zealand, I highly recommend the Kiwifruit Sorbet from Giapo ;) Or here's the recipe to make it yourself.


KIWI FACE MASK :)for any type of skin
Take one kiwi fruit, 2 tablespoons plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon orange juice, 1 tablespoon almond oil, and 1 cup mashed carrots. Mix all the ingredients and make a fine paste. Apply it on the face and leave until it dries. Wash your face with cold water.
