These stellar perfumes are my go to's at the moment, and boy do i adore them.
I'm the kind of person who will be the first to get a good ole' pain inducing brain ache if inside a small space filled with strong fragrances. Yes, i'm the annoying one who will probably roll down a window or two if you get into my car with more than 10 assorted scents on. I have never been -and probably never will be- the strong perfume loving gal.
This is undoubtedly is the reason for every perfume I own being sweet, simple and subtle, which is exactly the way I try to present myself.
I turned sixteen last monday (hooray!) and got up to a whole bunch of things, so why not share some snaps with you guys? :)
I think sixteen is one of those ages we all aspired to be when we were younger at some point. It's the age of becoming, well at least the type of becoming that happens before the eighteenth birthday! It's the age where decisions in your life start to get the ball rolling into life changing outcomes, such as career paths and coming down the home stretch of remaining high schooling years. In one word, it's exciting.
I made quite a point to take photos throughout the week of all the achievements and happenings that occurred in the duration of sixteenth birthday related stuff.
Hope your week has had an abundance of positive vibes so far, if not fear not, tomorrow's Friday! :)

Hello all! I'm fairly confident that most of you guys would've heard of the Liebster Award at some point or another, but in a word it's an award that you can be nominated for by a fellow blogger if you have less that 200 followers, so it's really a never ending chain. It's a wonderful way for you to discover new bloggers and vice versa. Fun fact: "Liebster" actually means "dearest" or "beloved" in German ♥ I was nominated twice (in the same day too!) by the beautiful authors of Tania Styles and Floral Beauty whose blogs I absolutely adore. Without further ado, lets get stuck into the post.
The Rules:
You must answer all 11 questions given to by by the person who you were nominated by.
You must include a link back to who nominated you.
You must nominate 11 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) and give them 11 questions of your own.
You cannot nominate the person who nominated you.
You must let the bloggers who you have nominated know and give them a link to your post to learn about it.
These are my given questions:)
1. Where do you like to shop for cute clothes?
peppermayo.com and saboskirt.com what can I say, I'm forever an Australian retail supporter.
2. Facebook, twitter, snapchat, or instagram?
Instagram, without a doubt. I actually deleted my snapchat last week, it felt sort of like a pointless mobile internet devourer.
3. What is your favorite music?
This question is super duper broad, so i'm just going to tell you all my favourite genres and they would be alternative, indie and the occasional rock or pop song. Anything I can get away with dancing to like a lunatic really..
4. What is your favorite makeup brand?
Benefit or napoleon perdis!
5. Summer or Winter?
This is a tough, tough question, but i'd say summer because there's alot less complaning about the weather when the sun is out ;)
6. What is your must have in your purse?
Pawpaw ointment and mini pufume sprays.
7. What made you start a blog?
I guess it was curiosity as to what it would be like to run a blog and i've never ever looked back since!
8. Who do you like to watch on youtube (Example: Zoella, bethany mota, tyler oakely, etc)?
Hellooctoberxo, Missglamorazzi, Cutiepiemarzia, Meghan Rosette, BeyondBeautyStar, Lily Pebbles & Evelina.
9. What is your favorite dessert?
Churros, the other day my mum and I had a cute little coffee date and we thought we'd order some for a bit of a treat. They had salted caramel dipping sauce! It was pretty much heavenly.
10. What is your favorite movie?
Eat Prey Love, after watching this flick last weekend I fell in love with the plot and places shown in this film. What I would've done to be cast in that movie...
11.If you could meet anyone, who would it be?
All of you! I love you all so, so much and it's such a shame most of you live in completely different countries to me. But i'm thinking of starting some kind of pen pal thing so please let me know if you'd like to be apart of it! Handwritten letters are just so timeless and authentic. :)

Ah books, lovely books. Theres so many. So, so, so many.
I think a booklist is much, much needed and after weeks (not even kidding..) of narrowing down my all time favourite reads, i'm putting the spotlight on four novels.
I can promise you with profound certainty that this wasn't easy. My love for books has blossomed ever since I was practically born, having my dad read me stories every night before bedtime up until the age of probably twelve or so. Dad is still today the best story narrator I know, haha.
So here it goes (in no particular order), my favourite books that i've ever laid eyes on.
//Looking For Alaska ~ John Green (2005):
I'm expecting that most of you would have heard of Looking For Alaska at sometime or another. Definitely my favourite John Green read so far and left me thinking about it long after i'd read the last page. A unique story and an even more unique structure (especially chapter wise), Looking for Alaska is undoubtedly unforgettable.
//They're a Weird Mob ~ John O'Grady (1957):
This list would never be truly completed without some kind of mentioning of They're a Weird Mob, and for good reason too! 1. It's hilarious 2. There's nothing quite like it and 3. It's a complete and utter reflection of Australia, its even relevant to us all now. Written from the perspective of an Italian immigrant in the early 1950's ish who hasn't a clue on Australians and has fantastic English skills, this book even has a happy ending (for once!). The protagonist struggles to fit in and learn the lingo that is Australian.One thing I'd like to confess is how much even simple gestures of kindness mentioned in this novel have made me more aware of the way Australians go about their day, even the subtlest of things. They all make me smile when I realise how often we skip over these in every day lives here Down Under. From someone else's point of view us Australians must look incredibly peculiar, haha! This book sums up Australia in a nutshell beautifully.
//Let It Snow ~ Maureen Johnson, John Green & Lauren Myracle (2013):
Such a funny story. The plot jumps around everywhere and takes you from "oh this seems like a regular go happy story" to "what the hell just happened in the last two paragraphs". It's basically life changing and the three included stories all crossover somewhat, you should really read it. The first part/ story is my absolutely favourite! Enough said :)
//Eleanor & Park ~ Rainbow Rowell (2013):
//Eleanor & Park ~ Rainbow Rowell (2013):
It starts off rather slowly then plunges deep into a ridiculously addictive storyline. Eleanor & Park was so hard to put down. I really want to emphasise the fact that this book is so rich and full of life. It's completely different to anything i've ever read. If you've experienced the kind of love only your first will give you, the kind of love that squeezes you from the inside when you're apart, Eleanor and Park will tear you limb from limb, dayum those feels.
What are some of your favourite books of all time?
Xo,
Renee
