Imperial Salt
The grains and salts of my life. The little things that creases my face. The sights that fills my memories. The touch that warms my heart. My canvas.....

At the park
Our friend's first born "J" is just 1 week older than Annie so they are at an age where they are able to occupy themselves for a good 15 to 20 mins (if we are lucky). That means we get to actually sit down and chat a little, which is fantastic. Of course we also have our 2nd born to care for but after having used to taking care of two children, having to care for just one is a walk in the park.
Annabel has always been a very careful and guarded child. And for that reason, she is never usually adventurous at playgrounds. J on the other hand is the complete opposite. Being true to his boyish make out. He is adventurous and is very skilled with his hands and feet. So I am always very keen to get the two together to hopefully entice the little adventure junkie in Annie to come out and play. They have been "friends"since they were babies so it's really nice to see them finally interact and play with each other and having mini chats of their own.
Anyhow. I really wanted to share some pictures she took on her own with my compact digital camera that afternoon. Not too bad for her first attempt me thinks *proud mum beam*.

Back
Three weekends ago we were at a wedding. And we celebrated my birthday over Sunday brunch. Yes folks. I have reached my mid thirties and am officially over the hills.
*GIVE ME BACK MY YOUTH* (fist in the air)
I still have not gotten over feeling temporarily depressed that I have moved on to a new age box. Not to mention the looming fact that I am just 5 years shy of the 40's! (That is my scary age) And all this talk about how the 50s are the new 30s is just plan old cr**. What does that even mean!? Does that mean I ought to feel like I'm fifteen now!?
And because I am all gloom and loom. I will leave you with a less dramatic caption of shots we took at the wedding. Just the fabulous glamourous bits of course.

What should I wear........
We are attending a wedding this weekend and I am excited.
There is no secret that I lurve weddings. I am one of those people that tear up after speeches and eat way too much cake.
I lurve getting all glam up for it. I lurve having a night of good food and great conversations. And I lurve the fact that the nights are KIDS FREE!
And of course, this weekend, we will be celebrating the union of two very lovely people.
So. The thing that will be on my mind this week would be "What to wear?"
Here's what I put together for the day ensemble. It's down for a maybe.

Meet my new loves
Everyone. I have fallen in love with eye colors.
Admittedly, I have never been good at make up. Don't really care for it or knew what to do with it. My make up routine consist of moisturise, sunblock, powder, rouge, waterproof eyeliner and lip gloss. And I put them on in that order too.
However, of late. I have grown very curious with what colors could do for my face. And in the process of my exploration, I have also realised how much I actually enjoy experimenting with what colors works on me. And which colors blend well with which.
And the tools! Oh My Goodness. I never knew that those expensive brushes could actually work wonders!
So here I am. An absolute convert. Playing around with make up like a teenager in my thirties.
And to make it all official. I will admit here for all you guys out there to tease as you please. I am too browsing on the inter net for make up tutorials.
Oh the shame.
And with that note. I shall end with my latest loot pictured below.
All purchases from Strawberry.Net.
Brushes are Laura Mercier. Crease, All Over Eye Color, Smudge & Eye Color Brush. Lancome Precision Cheek Brush.
Costal Scents 88 Shimmer Palettes from Costral Scents US.

Annabel's day at the Park
Here are the pictures of our somewhat wonderful weekend.
Picnic by the harbour
Blowing bubbles.
Enjoying her very own chair.
We were in the blue carriage.
The view midway from within the Ferries Wheel.
Eating her first fairy floss.
