<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you read my last update, you'll know that I was house-sitting my sister's house which didn't have the internet! Therefore I missed out on last Thursday's inspiration post, so my deepest apologies! Go make yourself a cup of tea (or glass of vodka, whatever you're into. For me, it's 10:00 AM and I'm at work so I guess I've got to stick with my iced coffee) and come back, relax, and read.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Have you ever had a "breakfast in bed" party? Just imagine how cute it would be! A group of your close friends, everybody in their pajamas (no birthday suits, please!), champagne and juice served in flutes, all kinds of breakfast foods served. I'm so determined to make this happen one day... in fact, I might organise something soon and write a blog post about it!</span></div>

And now, thanks to this picture, I really, <i>really</i> want to go there. I can't even explain why I love this picture so much, I just do. It's incredible. What I wouldn't give to live in one of those little apartments right opposite the water for a year.</span></span></div>

When I look at this photo I just can't help but imagine myself returning here after work every day - or better yet, working from home in a small and very nicely decorated office. Whenever I see lovely houses that I lust after, I always vow to myself to work hard enough that one day, one will be my own.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I haven't really talked much about myself in this blog, but one of my biggest dreams is to become a writer. I would love to sell my novels and have them sitting on my book shelf, as constant reminders that if you work hard at something, <i>you can do it</i>. However, lately I haven't had much time to write. I haven't written more than in a few pages in a few years, and it's getting me down. I need to start up again, and actually, a pretty good opportunity has come my way. A friend/relative (I can't remember... oops!) of my supervisor is looking for writers for his e-book website. I was inclined to turn it down, as he is looking for non-fiction and I find comfort and joy in writing fiction, but I've thought about it a little more and decided on a way I could make it work. I just need to get started, and this picture is a good little way of reminding me. </span></div>

Unfortunately asos only now has it in a baby pink, which is still super cute - but I'm going to wait until this one comes back in stock or I find it elsewhere. I just can't pass up mint-coloured things! Also, it's crazy to me that with the amount of makeup I have and carry around with me, I don't even have a makeup bag. No wonder I always lose my lipsticks. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here are some links I'm loving this week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Enjoy xox</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://www.rainymood.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: black;">rainymood</span></b></a> - so calm and relaxing, perfect to fall asleep to if you like the sound of rain and thunderstorms while you rest. The site also suggests new music every day to listen to alongside the rain track.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://www.fmylife.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: black;">fmylife</span></b></a> - I'm sure you've looked at this site, or at least heard of it. It's my go-to when I'm seriously bored at work. I just make the window small and drag it off to the side of my screen next to my email outlook so it looks like I'm still doing work (Hehe.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://www.catandmeringue.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: black;">catandmeringue</span></b></a> - this is just an adorable comic. I actually found this through a fundraising site like <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">kickstarter</span></a> or <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">indiegogo</span></a> (I can't remember remember which one) and I fell in love with how silly and cute it is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: black;">pinterest</span></b></a> - obviously. I am so obsessed with this site. There's pretty pictures, recipes, handy DIY's, inspiration from every angle. It's just amazing. If you want to follow me, go <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/vcaviar/boards/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">here</span></a> : ) Let me know you came from my blog, and I'll follow you back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><a href="http://blog.modcloth.com/tag/beauty-how-tos/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: black;">blog.modcloth</span></b></a> - helpful DIY tips and all things beauty! There are some really cute ideas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://8tracks.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><b>8tracks</b></span></a> </span>- an easy-to-use website where you can create music playlists and listen to everybody else's. It's an incredible way to find new music you haven't heard. I haven't made a playlist yet, but I'm thinking about turning it into a series here. If you'd like to follow me, here's the <a href="http://8tracks.com/vodkacaviar" target="_blank"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">link</span></a>! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Or should I say Inspiration Fridays? Sorry this is late, I went out with a few people from work last night and then to dinner with my friend, and didn't end up getting home until a little before 2 am. It's still Thursday somewhere in the world, right? Right?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There's something about this picture that caught my eye immediately. Pretty, pink, and - <i>a christmas tree</i>! Christmas is my favourite holiday, no contest. It's not even just Christmas day I enjoy. I love the whole time leading up to it. The decorating, the christmas songs, the light displays people hold at their houses, etc. <i>The spirit of Christmas</i> gives me such a warm, happy feeling that's incomparable to anything else. When Christmas time comes around, I'm going to do a whole "series" of blogs about it. Decor, recipes, etc. This makes me want to start decorating my house immediately... Is September too early?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Summer is approaching here in Australia in just a few months. It's my favourite season. What do you love about summer? I love the warmth, the sun, the beaches, the roadtrips, the fruity alcoholic beverages sipped outside or by the water, the barbeques, the friends, the longer days, the bright mornings, camping, short shorts... the list goes on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I just realised this is the first picture that isn't predominantly pink-toned. It throws it all off a little but it's fruit and pretty so totally worth it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Whenever I see pictures like this, I can't help but think just how easy it would be to eat healthy. And with Summer coming up soon, I've decided now is a perfect time to start! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now, I know you've heard of this brand before, if you follow the beauty community. Nearly every beauty guru I watch on youtube has done a video on these, or at least mentioned them. I <i>know</i> the majority of gurus have been sponsored, but when I saw these on <a href="http://www.ozsale.com.au/"><span style="color: black;">ozsale</span></a> for a unbelievable discounted price, I knew I had to try them to see if the hype about them is justified. Also, I hadn't spent money that day and I was looking for an excuse.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I ordered quite a few things - I compared the prices to their retail cost, and decided I probably wasn't going to be able to get them this cheap at any other time. And, I didn't want to only choose one product in case I hated that particular one and therefore gave Michael Todd a bad review, as their other products may be more suited.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Skin Defender - Creme Facial Cleanser:</b> Honestly, this was probably a bad product to start off with, because I didn't like it. At all. There's nothing actually <i>wrong</i> with it, it just wasn't anything special. In fact, I prefer my cheap Clean & Clear Morning Burst cleanser that I bought from Kmart. I think it's the fact that I like to actually feel cleansers <i>do</i> something. For example, my Clean & Clear cleanser is a foaming one so I really feel like I'm scrubbing it in. The Michael Todd cleanser is more like a moisturizer that you have to wash off. I wouldn't ever purchase this again!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Cranberry Antiox Hydrating Anti-Aging Toner: </b>This is a hard one for me to judge, because I've never actually used a toner before. I did enjoy putting it on, but I don't know if it's the actual toner I liked, or just the placebo effect. I didn't really notice a difference with my skin using it and not using it, so I probably wouldn't purchase this again unless it came in a pack with other items I wanted.</span></div>

I liked the smell, it was tangy and fruity and was a nice start to my day. It wasn't too rough, but you could feel the kick of it actually doing something, which I love. I will be quite sad when this tube is empty... hopefully there's another sale soon!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Pearl and Silk Facial Mask:</b> I actually forgot to try this until recently - it's so pretty! It comes out as a sheer, sparkly gel, and stays like that on your face until you wash it off. The only problem for me was having a little bit of difficulty removing it all!

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'll be honest. The only reason I bought this was because of the price difference. (I mean, $110 cheaper?! That's insane.) But it was a waste. I didn't like this at all. The consistency was quite runny, it didn't seem to absorb into my skin very well, and I could feel it on the surface. A few times, I actually got so frustrated with it I went back into my bathroom and washed it all off. Maybe it's because my skin doesn't really need a "lift", or maybe it's just not well suited. I don't know what it is, but I really did not enjoy this. I wouldn't purchase it again, and I'll be giving this one away to a family member who might enjoy it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm on the fence about this one.

I tried this one a few times just to be sure, but my skin just did not feel as lovely as it does after using my Advanced Night Repair. So, I wouldn't purchase this again, but I would recommend it for anybody who was after a serum for dry skin but couldn't afford/justify the Estee Lauder one!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">These were both quite decent, but I <i>adored</i> the Rose Petal mask. I'm actually kind of freaking out about not being able to find it on the website - what if I need to purchase it again?! The Avocado & Mango mask will not cut it!<br />That being said, I did like the A&M one, just not as much. Also, I thought the A&M mask was more harsh on my skin than the Rose Petal, even though A&M is meant to be for sensitive skin, and Rose Petal isn't. My skin feels so, so nice after using either of these however, I really enjoy them - even though the Avocado & Mango mask makes my skin a nasty yellow while it's on... like a Simpson! I would purchase both of these again, but the Rose Petal Mask especially.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've decided to bring out a new segment for my blog: Weekly Wishlists!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I think it's a fun idea - it's a way for me to keep track of things I'm planning on buying, and maybe you guys will be interested in some of these things too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here are items I've either had my eye on for a while and never bought, or just seen and fallen in love with straight away! I'm going to be doing this every week (hence the name ... Duh!) </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Let me tell you something. If this product was actually available where I live, I would have bought this blush in every colour. Instead, all I can do is stare at the pictures longingly on the Sephora website, hoping and begging the high powers that one day, they'll bring these to Australia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Or I might just use a forwarding company, depending on how much shipping will cost. I will not rest until at least this colour is mine.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've been eyeing this vase for a while - it's just so cute. And weird at the same time. Kind of like myself (Nah, I'm joking. I'm just cute.) I really want it in white, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm thinking about buying this one in black and then spray painting it. What do you guys think?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This picture is just so darling. I can't get enough of the ghost chairs - there's something that's just so appealing about them. I know a lot of beauty guru's use them at their vanities, but I never thought them as dining chairs. I love it. This whole set out is beautiful, I can't help but smile and dream about one day having my own beautiful apartment to decorate and adore every time I see this picture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I don't even know what it is about this photo - something about it makes me happy. It makes all my girly-ness bubble up to the surface. I actually purchased three of the six items on here: the Chanel highlighter, the Ere Perez cream highlighter, and the Youngblood creme blush. I'm still waiting on the blush, but I am LOVING the two highlighters. I guess you could say this photo inspired me to purchase <i>more</i> makeup that I don't really need! Hee hee. In all seriousness, though, this photo was one of the reasons I wanted to start a blog. And I think that's pretty special.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Cleverly placed objects, seemingly random but obviously used as decoration... I love it. It gives feeling to a home yet still looks nice and classy. This photo (and other similar ones on pinterest - I get stuck on that site for <i>hours</i>) actually has inspired me to redecorate my room. My walls are a bright turquoise colour, and I've decided to paint them white and have black, white and a few coloured decorations. I can't wait to get started.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So beautiful. I can't imagine how lucky the people who live there are. Imagine seeing this kind of thing every day.

But honestly. It's just so pretty. I've been wanting this blush for a while, and finally decided to purchase it online. I received it yesterday and I wanted to write a blog post about it right after trying, but it was late and I had to go wash my face again. I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to put on a face full of makeup just to see how the blush looked, but I couldn't resist. Anyway, as a result, I've been itching to get home and write this all day while at work. I even contemplated pretending to die at my desk, but I wasn't sure how well that would go down. Also, I didn't want to risk being buried alive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
But I digress. (It's a very bad habit of mine. See? Here I go again) Before I go onto another mini rant, let's see some more pictures, shall we?</span><br />

Here's the colour close up. See the little sparkles?! And how vivid the colour is?! Don't you want to just rub it all over your face?! (Pro tip: don't do that.) Oh, and I don't want to brag, but I wore this blush to work today and got several compliments. And not just from the creepy guy who works in the factory, who I'm pretty sure doesn't know my name but never fails to wink at me every time I walk past. Help.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
Now if you will avert your attention to this next picture, I've done four swatches ranging from barely any on the brush, to several applications of it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
<br />
Nice, huh? The first one is almost a peachy, barely-there nude pink, while the last one is a hot fuchsia. Personally my favourite is the second swatch, and is how I wore it today. It's so pretty and girly, I feel guilty in advance because I just <i>know </i>I'm going to neglect all my other blushes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
So that's it for now, I hope you liked this review - I think I'm going to do a makeup tutorial/look using this when I have time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />My holy grail. My love. My favourite skincare baby in the whole world. <i>Nothing </i>else has ever worked such a miracle on my dry, flaky skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

Honestly, I adore it. I had been using the sample (I believe I purchased it on ebay after seeing a youtube guru recommend it - I can't remember who, though.) and noticed with surprise and delight how much better my skin was looking... and feeling! I bought it in this size, continued to use it and would constantly make my friends touch my face (Yep... Creepy) to feel how much smoother my skin was than usual. You see, I suffer from terribly dry and flaky skin... but applying this at night time and in the mornings after I cleanse and wash my face has made such a difference! My makeup goes on so much more nicely than it did. I seriously recommend it for anybody who's having issues with their dry and/or flaky skin!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
I know this product is talked about so often in the beauty community, so I was trying to avoid it, but it needed a quick mention. I just can't get enough of it. It's honestly made my life better (yes - I'm that vain/self conscious) because nice looking skin is so important to me. My skin looks great when I use this even without makeup! The best part is, you only need the tiniest amount and it comes with a little dropper so it's pretty hard to accidentally use too much and waste it.<br /><br />I bought the bottle shown above for $150 AUD in Myer. Expensive yes, but I wouldn't bat an eyelid over paying for it again once it's run out (if it ever does. It's lasted me for so long!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
Have you tried it? What did you think of it? What are some of your favourite skincare products?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
Oh - and keep an eye out for my upcoming MICHAEL TODD REVIEW. After seeing nearly every beauty guru I follow talk about it (yes - I know they were sponsored) I decided to order a few things to see if it's truly as great as they claim. Seeing as my blog currently only has two posts, there's no way I'm being sponsored for this so you'll know I'm being honest. ;)</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;">Lately, whenever I've looked into my bathroom cupboards, I've become more aware of my ever-growing addiction for </span><a href="http://www.lush.com.au/" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;"><span style="color: black;">Lush</span></a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;">. It seems I can't stroll past the store without being invited in by the pleasing scents, and the urge to "just have a look" is overwhelming.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;"> Some of my favourite products are the bath bombs and bubble bars. They're incredibly pretty, they smell nice, and add a little fun to my bathing experience. The only negative thing I can think of is the price tag that comes along with it (and how addicting they are!)</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;">I decided it was my mission to find another site that offered equally adorable and nice-for-the-nose bath bombs, for a smaller cost. It took a while - the cheaper bath bombs that I found weren't as pretty and just didn't appeal to me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then I stumbled upon <a href="http://www.planetyum.com.au/"><span style="color: black;">PlanetYum</span></a>. It's an Australian website, which obviously appealed to me - being an Australian and all! However, they do ship internationally, so any of you who aren't from down under and happen to fall in love with these (as I did!) can still make an order.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I spent a good amount of time going through the site, and ultimately decided to place an order. I got <i>quite</i> a few things - my order ended up being a little over $100.00 so I was entitled to free shipping (Worth it! Right? Right.) These are the bath bombs and bubble bars I chose to compete against my beloved <a href="http://www.lush.com.au/"><span style="color: black;">Lush</span></a>:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Parisienne Bath Bomb: $5.00</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Bee Nurtured Bubble Bar: $6.95</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
<br />
Cute, aren't they? I don't think they're as creative looking as the lush ones, but they're still nice. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but the Bee Nurtured bar is in the shape of a bee hive. And Parisienne has little sequin hearts in it --- not sure how appreciated they'll be while in the bath, but they look pretty all the same.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
As you can see, <a href="http://www.planetyum.com.au/"><span style="color: black;">PlanetYum</span></a>'s bath bombs aren't all that much cheaper than <a href="http://www.lush.com.au/"><span style="color: black;">Lush</span></a>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The savings only work out to be $4.20 - slightly less than the price of another bomb. And like I mentioned above, I don't think Planet's bombs are as pretty. Which yes, is a factor for me even though it makes no difference once it's crumbled in the bath. I just like nice looking things, okay?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
Oh, by the way - just wanted to mention that out of all of these, <a href="http://www.planetyum.com.au/"><span style="color: black;">PlanetYum</span></a>'s <i>Rock Pool Bath Bomb </i>got the best applause from my nose's sniff test! The website describes the scent as "ocean spa fragrances", but it reminds me of watermelon - is there something wrong with my sense of smell? Regardless, I can't wait to use it - in fact, I may have to chuck it in the bath as soon as I post this and relax for a while!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
So although I'm still on the lookout for cheaper (yet still adorable) bath bombs and bubble bars, I'm super happy to have discovered this website - I'll definitely be placing an order with them again! Keep your eyes peeled, as I have some more blog posts coming up showing you what else I ordered from <a href="http://www.planetyum.com.au/"><span style="color: black;">PlanetYum</span></a>!</span><br />
