Bento basics and a giveaway

[EDIT: The giveaway image didn't work, so I've re-done it. You still have 3 days !!]

Hello.. Yep, it's been a while between blog posts. And today I'm focusing on food instead of nail polish.

Firstly, a chance to win free stuff. Open internationally.

Also I went shopping at Daiso in Melbourne CBD. Specifically on a mission to purchase a bento box.

I have found a website running a fun and easy course that fingers crossed will get me away from spending so much money at the canteen.

Lessons have just begun if you are at all interested. I'll be uploading my answers to the homework we have to do.


Also this is my 100th post!!!! I do have 8 more sitting in drafts because I haven't taken the photos off my phone yet :)

Where the bloody hell have I been

Hello.. Remember me??

Where the bloody hell have I been..

 

 

Nowhere using my passport, nowhere exotic. 

I have spent the last few weeks offline, enjoying life, as I became dis-interested in creating spooky manis. They are not really my thing, and yep, I was so mad at myself for not completing the challenge.

 

However, starting on November 12, Mondays are now fun-days, with my blog getting a steady stream of weekly posts through the creation of Aussie Nails Monday (ANM) challenge. 

 

 

Created by the fabulous Elissa  and supported by many ladies in the Aussie Nails facebook group, we will be creating manis on a set theme each week- and posting on a Monday.

 

I have a set page with a list of links for each of the Aussie Nails ladies- so please [click here] to be taken through to share the love of polish.

 

I have still purchased polish during the past 4 weeks: 

Ulta3 candy cane- 10 polish bottles (bulk buying polish)

Ulta3 glitter collection- 5 plain colours of glitter (but not the mixed glitter, none left)

Bargain buys- $2 colorama polish- yellow, green

.72c max factor mini- black (no fantasy fires left, boo)

FOA pastels- boysenberry, orange, blue, green

Essence breaking dawn- Alice, Jacob (wasn't a fan of the other colours)

Essence new bottle- grey-t to be here

Chi chi- my bad (love the silver holo glitter)

 

Nail mail: 

Essie- wicked, marshmallow, treatments, mini polish cube

Butter London- 6 polishes

Beauty2007- seche restore, poshe, rejuvicote x2, color club holos x6.

Guest post over at nailpolishrants

Hello.. Today ladies and gents (but I'm quite sure mainly ladies)..

I am guest posting at  Robyn's blog over at The rantings of a nail polish hoarder for her series of guest bloggers who have shared their story of the polish that made them start their polish collections.

Take a sneak at this pic below, then head on over to [http://nailpolishrants.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/guest-post-melissa.html] for the unfolding details.
:)

It didn't have to be the very first polish, just the one that made you realise you're in too deep and there's a whole world of polish you need to get your hands on now..

See you there!
