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!

BUSY!!!

So ....

I've been out of the blogging loop for faaar too long!! It's a sunday morning/ and i'm ready for a good vent. so here goes it.

I actually came on here to get my secret chocolate brownie recipe! Pretty stoked I actually blogged up a storm with that one- someone rummaged through my recipe draw and somehow that recipe seems to have disappeared... WHAA?! Sunday afternoon brownie treats -why today?! WHy NOW!!! but yes- stoked it was on here, I can rest in peace. has anyone tried it yet?? It's pretty much the most amazing thing in the whole wide world actually also. mhmm.

going to get my bake on whilst watching stick it, and reruns of coro.

So it's been aaaages! Whats been happening with mwa?

I got another dog he's freaken awesome! He's a black schipperke (google it they're KEEY-Ute!)

He's called Savi, pretty much amazing. TOo cute for words like a little black woolf:D heart.

Got a sweet pimping new chopper- photo above, Was meant to go out this wkend on it, but it's Freakn raining- so abort mission- hopefully soon tho haven't taken the phantom for a spin yet.

All in good time.

What else... I did hair /makeup/ wardrobe for a filmy thing- all top secret but will post that up next week when I'm officially aloud to talk about it!! Just watched a rough edit- i have a feeling it will blow your face off!

So yeap been working heaps- keeping buso.

Will be working for the wow awards under Michele Perry, doing hair and fun makeup and hopefully learning air brushing think that's in september/october! Fun Fun FUn! yeowsa.!

Learnt how to do woolen dread extensions the other day- that was quite fun, braiding and things- learning heaps!!!

It's super foggy outside whaa?! cold, cold,cold! yeah been abit fluish lately, not ideal- reckon everyones been abit out of the weather lately! not the go.

GOing to see glee the musical next month- pretty excited about that!! Yipeeee.

Kara Clam Lok said there was something on stuff the otherday- about a guy getting pulled over for speeding- and there was a cat (alive_) maranading in sauce and spices and stuff in the boot of his car?!! WHAT THE FARK!!! that is SO sick, makes me reeeally outraged to think ppl in nz are that fucked up. who would think that that was a reasonable senario?! who would want to eat a cat for crying out loud!! but yep anyhoo the cat was alive- and has now been rehomed.

insane thought- poor kitty lucky they found it in time- but jst on that note- this was 1 RANDOM guy- pulled over for speeding- usually wouldn't check the boot of the car in tht routine check- who else is doing shit like this?!! Hopefully noone- but gaa makes you think, ppl who are cruel to animals should be shot . makes me vom.

O yeah! I made a clip in weave the other day:D Real hair- custom dyed that badboy:D she's a beaut. can make them up and custom dye them at my work aswell, super fun! coz you can curl /wash/straighten them the whole 9 yards.

Learning chemical straightening on Tuesday, quite looking foward to that! get abit of training in that mhmm.

Can't believe it's 1/2 way thru august already! Simply madness 4 months til xmas- wha?! it's an outraaage!! mmm noel fielding.

CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE!!!

Holy moley- so you kids have got to try this- and especially if you don't cook- or have much time on your hands- best sneaky treat ever....

take advantage-

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour

4 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons cocoa

1 egg

3 tablespoons milk

3 tablespoons oil

3 tablespoons chocolate chips

(optional) a small splash of vanilla extract

1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.

Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous). And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

yeah- jst do it.

Jeff Buckley

Waking up with Jeff Buckley this morning, was not only a mezmorizing experience- but a truley inspirational one. His voice is like a combination of Pink Floyd and being in bed listening to the rain. It melts in your ears, like nothing I've experienced before. Listening to such powerful melodic hooks, after having being subdued to radio takes for so long, I feel like a piece of my soul has been given back to me. He's a one off ledgend, and truley there was and never will be anyone like him, from his music to mind- the way he conveyed his ideas about life, and living- were far beyond his years. The way he spoke was so deep and true.
I watched his 15th anniversary of GRACE dvd this morning and fell in love. Thanks Jeff- Your music will live on forever-rest in peace.

So I got my 1st library card yesterday! Somehow managed to be a tin bum and score a copy of twilight- what a page turner!!! I've already read 3 chapters- (i'm a super slow reader) But I can't put it down!!! Also got out 8 mega sweet cds- to update the ipod, ups to the Johnsonville Library for having Wilco and the Dave matthews band cds, about time I got rid of meatloaf and all the other crap my sister put on for me- sorry sis, but Rob Zombie was getting under my skin somewhat. Wasn't ideal driving music-was getting abit ragey.
Speaking of which rage against the machine isn't actually great for parallel parking- or concerntrating. !

Been abit sick over the weekend so I'm at home today, soooo cold!!! I'm going to rug up and watch tyra and read twilight- got to be done!! Made some sweet healthy muffins yesterday- should put the recipe up really it's a fav of mine- apple and boysenberry w musli sounds not that amazing- but lordy they are great news!!!

Quite keen to do a few more photoshoots- only doing 4 days a week at work at the moment, so have abit of time up my sleeve! Quite keen to do a jeff buckley inspired shoot after this am's episode!!

Mmm what to have for breaky... Still pretty into my corn on toast- thinking yes.

CODY SIMPSON-The next Justin Bieber- freakn fanno.

http://www.myspace.com/codysimpsonmusic#splshtrck-newmusic-bl

So I think this kid is 12. Like actually this time. He's been named the new Justin Bieber= stink for him- he didn't have much time in the spotlight!!

This pip sqweak reighns from Australia, spotted on you-tube and made an instant star- claiming to be bigger than Justin Bieber- what's going to happen when he makes it to a Tennor!? Will they shunn him- I reckon Justin might almost be about there, he's being shoved into the corner-- Been abit of hating of this wee sprog- purley because he's claimed 'Not as good as Bieber,' I don't think he's really copying anyone just had a sweet break. Really don't know if I'd be keen to be famous for being like someone else... What do you have to say on this matter??

Hey the sun is shining= ideal. Might have to get amongst that!! Thought id' just get on here and give you some information to ponder over.

OOp cramp in the leg- better wade this out..

Lame.
