Warrior Dash

Today a group of us took part it an event called Warrior Dash.  This takes place all over the world but there is only one in Australia so everyone comes from near and far to take part in the messiest obstacle course going.

The run is just over 5ks and during that you have to wade through a massive swamp with pot holes the hight of me, climb over walls, under barbed wire, swim through a river...you get the idea.  It was so much fun.

We were suppose to start at 2pm, which then got delayed, then the mother of all storms moved in as we were waiting at the start line and hail the size of golf balls started pelting down.  We had to make a mad dash to the porter loos (which we now know you can fit 8 people into) to get shelter.

Anywho, two hours later, shivering in the cold, we started.  Then the sun came out! 

It was so much fun slipping and sliding everywhere and the muddier you were the better.  

There are several that take place during the year. 

Tough Bloke

Tough Chick

Warrior Dash

I would highly recommend these to anyone.  It's so much fun and a great excuse to get messy and have a nice beer at the end as a reward.

Above are a few things that caught my eye for Valentines day for the guys and gals out there.  I know there is only a few days to go so everyone better be hitting the shops or have something fancy up their sleeve for their other half. 

For me, I don't really celebrate Valentines Day or if I do I much prefer the the simpler things.  Like creating a heart from Jam on his toast, post it notes dotted around your home with little messages on them that kind of thing.

Whatever you prefer, I hope you all have a wonderful day.  

I've always believed you should show gestures of love every day wether it's to your boyfriend, girlfriend, mother, father, siblings, family and friends etc. 

Valentines Day is just like any other day.  You love every day of the year.

Koalas To The Max

An odd title I know but I found this the other day and was instantly hooked.

Once the big dot appears, run your mouse over it and it will divide into smaller ones.  Keep going until the circles are really tiny....then you will finish with a picture.  

Can you guess what?

Yes it's a little long winded but I stuck it out till the end and it's something different to do if you have five minutes to kill, plus it's cute.

OOTW

So I haven't been holding up my end of this promise where I said I would take better quality photos for my OOTW posts and not just in front of the mirror. Oops.  My excuse; really bad weather at the moment and a busy bee.  I have a few afternoons/evenings this week where I hope to venture out and get snap happy and have a change of scenery for you guys.

* Top - Topshop
* Clutch - ASOS
* Shorts - Zara

Yes more purchases, I know.  I had been waiting for the top to arrive for three weeks from Topshop, which was a little annoying.  But anyway first world problems and all that. 

It arrived and I love it.  Every shop I went into today asked me where it was from and said how much they loved it.  If your heading to a Topshop grab one and try it on, it also comes in blue which is too gorgeous.

The clutch which is from ASOS is my new obsession.  It's big so can fit all your essentials in it and adds a pop of colour to an outfit. (I think the pattern is suppose to be like cogs, correct me if I'm wrong)

It's also a laser clutch so the black parts have all been cut out and that is the under section.

* Nicole by OPI - Shell me the truth

 Finally is the polish.  This caught my eye as I was racing past the shop front like a mad woman.  The colour in the bottle is true to the colour on the nail.  Under different light it shows up gold, salmon pink and a spot of purple.  The above photo is with just one layer but have since added another and it looks even more dazzling.
