HEY: SO literally has been 2 years since I've blogged', so thought I'd sort that out whilst I have abit of time on my hands.
2 years- well what have I done in 2 years.... I'm a fully qualified hairdresser now.-yay. that was a long exhaughsting exercise which I'm glad I'm on the other end of:) finished studying in November -7 years of hair/fashion without much income has been a test- but am working for myself now, freelancing and even though I'm still abit poorpus I feel like I'm living the dream!- My dream is to be a stylist- and love life- so I'm pursuing abit more styling work- and doing makeup/hair aswell which is fun:) And life is good:) Climbed a mountian yesterday=well jst mt Kaukau which is kind of a walking track- but it's something I've never done:) Have a new puppy- she's a 6 month old siberian husky called Vada E've and she's awsme:) full of beans! Mr Savaloy mr schipperke is awsme aswell:) mr busy!

Will be heading to HongKong in a few months! I'm excited about that:) Have been to Malaysia, and the US and Auz but can't wait to travel abit more!!! Haven't really had a holiday since I started studying so I think a well deserved 5star break is going to be just the ticket!
