Domaine Chandon, Yarra Valley

Finally I get to enjoy a mini trip again with my best friends now that my annual leave has taken place just after Christmas. I am extremely happy to be able to spend some time with the girls outside of Melbourne city away from the hustle and buzzle of Melbourne CBD. We decided on a last minute plan to visit the winery near Yarra Valley, which is about 44 minutes drive from the main city.
There's a wide range of winery around Yarra Valley, so we decided to visit the more popular ones such as Domaine Chandon. This winery owns 50 hectares of the vineyard with Champagne varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier.


Does this bottle of Champagne look familiar to you? I don't know much about Champagne or wine so I will not write any gibberish here. *Image is not from my own, google image searched and found this.

It wasn't too long of a drive and the place was extremely easy to find. It was also a very fine day, so lucky us! Especially when you live in a 4-season-in-one-day country, this kind of day is hard to come by.  I was all equipped with my digital camera and a newly bought tripod (so excited to try it out as I was so sick of having to ask random people to take the pictures and they always turn out not the way you wanted them to be, don't you agree???).



Arriving at the main entrance of Domaine Chandon. This winery is one of the most popular tourist attractions, just outside at the car park area, there were a couple of tour buses and a flock of tourists marching to this winery for wine tasting, food exploration and just simply enjoy the beautiful valley. A perfect place to wind down after a long year (for me that is).


Pardon me, lots of selfies in this blog entry. I usually only have photos of me but this time, I didn't take many photos of just myself. Having a tripod is not the most convenient thing to carry around but obviously it was worth it as it took more stable photos and nobody needed to hold it for you. My only concern at that time was that it was super windy at times and I was worried that my tripod was going to fall and break my camera, lucky enough my camera is pretty sturdy so it weights down the tripod just fine.


and more selfie...


The restaurant and the wine tasting bar. It has indoor and outdoor seatings but it was too windy for us so we decided to sit inside instead.


More selfie before going in, typical Asian behaviour.

We ordered 4 dishes to share among 3 of us. First one was fresh oysters and believe me when I say this, they can't get any more fresh than this!! One of the best I've tasted. They also put a touch of fried garlic on top of it!! YUM~~~~



and then we had bruschetta which was also yum but I wouldn't say "Wahhh". The dish on the left is a duck dish and I wouldn't say wahh too as I don't think the duck absorbs the sauce well enough, pretty much like ordinary duck dish same with the hapuka dish on the right. The mash potato and the rest of the hollandaise-like sauce tasted great but the fish itself has not enough flavour and freshness to it.



Overall, it costs us about $35 each which is not too bad to be honest and considering we all shared the dishes. Unfortunately those dishes didn't fill us up so we had to find dessert elsewhere.




This is Dominique Portet winery just about 3 minutes away from Domaine Chandon, a smaller one and they don't have much here. Behind us is the shop selling varieties of wine and selection of patisseries.


More models wannabes.. Can't get enough of the awesome weather at 35 degrees celcius!
Let the nature do the talking!


We decided to move on to the famous chocolate factory just about 15 minutes drive from Domaine Chandon in Healesville.

I couldn't take many photos with the tripod at this location because of the extreme wind condition. I literally had to hold everything with my hands or everything was gonna fly away!


The front entrance of the chocolaterie and ice-creamery.


The shop has a transparent glass window where you can see staff baking chocolate fresh from scratch.
It has a selection of sweets and ice-cream and they also sell them in beautiful and cute packages. They are also very affordable so people should probably stock up for Valentine's Day LOL


Look! Perfect for Christmas gifts but a little too late now. Well, at least you know where to get from next time.

We rested at Lilydale lake afterwards as we were all extremely tired and it was 35 degrees at the time but in 1 minute, I saw a gust of dust moving towards us from the lake direction and Holy Moly I thought we were all gonna die in a sandstorm and I yelled out to my friend to have their back turned to the other side so not to face the lake and the whole park was covered in dust and strong gust of wind that my shoes almost flew away. A lot of people we setting up tents with their families and some families were having BBQs but the wind and sand just ruined everything. People screaming, no one dared to move and kids were crying. It was one of the most horrible things I've ever experienced in my life and in my mind I thought, what about when Tsunami happened?? I am glad that I am still alive. When we drove out, trees branches were everywhere scattered on the road.

MORAL OF THE STORY?? Take a good care of yourself during this festive season and drive safe!!

Till next year.... :)

Noodle Night Markets at Alexandra Gardens

City of Melbourne finally hosts an Asian night markets event!!!! Yayyy~~ About time!

Well, even though to be honest, this night market is alot more posh than the normal night markets you see in Southeast Asia countries. You can tell the difference right away, especially when it comes to the eating cost! Honestly, that night I spent more that what I would usually spend dining in a restaurant.
It was blardy expensive, however bear in mind that most of the food stalls come from popular fusion Asian food. You won't see authentic Asian food there but who cares, it's all about the atmosphere, recreating the sense of "home" for every Asian and for the locals to get the feel of what Asian night markets are all about. At the same time, the setting resembles a spacious beer garden that enables people to mingle around with good glass of beer, there's a DJ to spice up some music and there's food. LOTS OF FOOD!

This Noodle Night Markets is only held for 2 weeks since 18th November 2013 so I was lucky to check it out before it wraps up. Don't expect dirt cheap food because then might as well go to a restaurant but who cares about the price when you can hang out with a couple of friends on a Friday night or weekend and discuss on the queuing strategies, which food stall to visit next and after you get tired of queuing, sit on the lawn (if the tables are all fully occupied already) and enjoy some house tunes? That's more original than say, visiting pubs.

The market opens to public everyday but finishes early during the week. I can't remember exactly what time but on the weekend, it opens from 4-10 pm. Great place to bring family as well. The location is in Alexandra Gardens just after you cross the bridge from Flinders train station or just after Federation square. There's also an invention called Google if you're still lost.

If you still don't know, follow the Asians who are flocking down to visit the night markets.


The entire gardens are so jammed packed with people and lit up with bulbs that it's impossible to miss it :)  What I saw as I was making my way down the stairs. They have dim sums in this area. The stall is set up by a restaurant called "let's do Yum Cha". I've never tried it and I didn't try it when I was there too just because yum cha is not the best in Australia and everywhere you go, it's gonna taste more or less the same as opposed to say, Hong Kong/Malaysia.


The entrance to the markets.


These people are queuing btw. The queue for food is pretty long but they're pretty quick as most of them are prepared in advance and just need to add sauce etc. Also, the food choices are not too many as they're meant to be quick and efficient. Hence, even though they represent some really popular fusion restaurants but to decrease the price, it also means the choices are limited and quantity is also compromised.


Such as this food stall, Longrain. This is an "up-class" Thai fusion restaurant in the city and usually costs a bit to dine in. We tried to book once and it was fully booked. The cost of food in Noodle Night Markets ranges from about $10-ish to $14-ish (the ones that I tried) so it's not too bad. I'm pretty sure the cheapest ones were WonderBao (we'll get there shortly).


Yea I know, all the queues for what??? For the experience of course. Why else would people go to night markets and queue for food rather than walk into a restaurant straight away? Also to enable you to sample different restaurants in one space!


This is Grilled chicken, rice noodles, coriander and yellow bean $14. Not cheap eh? Well, considering it's from Longrain, price-wise is justifiable. Quality wise though, hmm.... It's not that bad. It's different and not your usual Chinese broad noodle. Like I said, most of the food here is fusion, so if you don't enjoy fusion food, then there's no point of visiting noodles night markets. Whereas for me, I enjoy different type of food and I love to explore outside my comfort zone BUT if I don't like it, I rarely would ever try it again.

For me, this this is about 7 out of 10.

The grilled chicken is very ordinary, but the sauce is pretty amazing.


While we were savouring our noodle, we queued up the next stall, Wonder Bao. People have been raving about these buns and the rating on urbanspoon is pretty high too. We visited the restaurant the other day but they closed down for renovation :( Well, at least we got to sample it here.


I think the top one is BBQ Pork and the bottom one is Chicken. I prefer the pork one just because it has that smokey BBQ pork flavour and it is really smokey and juicy. I don't mind one right now actually.

The buns are really soft too. I must dine in one day!!!! They taste so good that you need at least two! They are quite a small serve unfortunately. Well, I suppose it's night markets afterall. The whole point of small servings is to enable your stomach to fit for more food, therefore spending more money. Duh... consumer marketing 101.


After gobbling all those up, next stop is to get some mini pancakes because we've seen people walking past and the mini pancakes look all fluffled up with maple syrup and sugar icing.. Slrrrrppp...
We made a mistake by choosing the chocolate one where in fact, sticking to traditional maple syrup would've been a lot better. The first time I tried Dutch mini pancake was when I went to Tesselar Tulip Festival up in Lilydale and God, they were the best mini pancakes I've ever tried.



Looks yum right? Don't be fooled. It's ok, it's not bad. Who doesn't like pancakes anyways? Regardless of how they're gonna taste like, they're pancakes! This costs $10 and I wanted more but by then, I think we've spent about $65 on food already.

We thought that was it until we saw..


Chin Chin is quite a popular fusion restaurant as well. I've dined in there before and the food was great down to the dessert. Unfortunately, again, your choices are very limited here. We ended up trying the Massaman Curry if Braised brisket & peanuts sauce with rice $12.



It might not look very appetising but trust me, it's pretty rich with flavour and if you've ever tried Asian "satay" dish in the past, it's kind of like satay sauce in terms of the peanut sauce on top of the rice. Satay is typically Indonesian, Malaysian and Singaporean dish. I'm not a fan though I am Indonesian. Probably one of a few who doesn't like peanut sauce on rice. Just find it a bit out of sync.

While I was waiting,


This atmosphere is what I was raving about. The beer garden atmosphere, especially during summer. Music was pumping, sound of laughters, joy, celebration. Picture conveys a thousand words people say. How much do you think is true?

Go and visit the markets while it lasts. I think this is probably the last week of the night markets. The event is I think "sponsored" by The Age. Visit their website here.


Christmas is here everyone, have you done your shopping yet? Get into the festive right now!!

Garnier BB cream

How many of you (girls and boys) spend more than 5 minutes just applying foundation itself? Or even more if you are applying concealer before foundation? In total, applying make up every morning takes approximately 20 minutes of my time and it is rather annoying but honestly, I wasn't born with perfect skin, so let's face it. A lot of us just have to deal with it, but with Garnier's range of BB cream, it actually saves you so much time that you could probably snooze for another 10 minutes and who doesn't agree that sleep is of essence???? and who doesn't agree that sleep actually improves your skin condition and makes it look more subtle the next morning? Well, if you don't agree, fair enough. I respect your belief.

Now back to Garnier..
I have tried some other Korean brand BB cream but I often find the shade doesn't suit me. Koreans have a relatively fair skin and I suppose the shade will suit them often times than not but for me, being from Southeast Asian country, I have a slightly darker feature and my fairness is equivalent to Chinese fairness and when I use Koreans brand BB cream, my face turns really pale and when I take photos at night, I look like a ghost, no kidding! After spending like $50 on a bottle of BB cream and only used it twice, it has been sitting there collecting dust on my desk. Also, it dries my skin out too!
My skin is combination oily and is can be really dry sometimes, hence my skin produces excess oil to hydrate it. I hate seeing dry skin on my face, who doesn't? That white dead skin hanging on you face. Yuck!

Anyways, after reading lots of blogs about Garnier's BB cream, especially from a Singaporean blogger who did a one day challenge using Garnier's BB cream for 12 hours. For those who hasn't been to Singapore, Singapore weather is extremely humid and you sweat all the time. It also means, for people who have combination oily or oily skin, it is a complete nightmare. You can watch her video here.

After seeing that video, I decided to get one for myself too. Garnier's range of BB cream is available in majority drug stores in Australia and overseas. I got mine from Coles/Woolies and they are only $10 each!! Most of the time when I am there, it is always on promotion. I'm not sure how much sales they make from this range of products but this product is what you can describe as AWESOME!!

This is the first one that I got.


This is oil-free BB cream, well to be honest, the texture is more like liquid-ish than cream. It is meant to provide you with a matte finish and trust me, it really did make my skin looks matte. Also, it is meant to control the amount of oil your face produces throughout the day. I wore it for the whole day and it really stayed matte! I was so amazed by it. HOWEVER, then I realised that I bought the wrong shade! It was supposed to be light not medium. I looked orange and looked like fake tan went wrong! Plus I'm Asian. Not a good combination AT ALL!

On top of that, it does provide a matte finish but it also makes my skin dry and when I touch my face, it is not as smooth. It feels like I've got sand on my face. Not literally, just my closest description at the time. So, even though I think it does the job, I don't think it suits me. Although it controls my oil production which was simply amazing and I can't find that in any other products/matte foundations I've tried so far.

So, I went back to Coles and got a different type of Garnier's BB cream, the original one.


This is the original BB cream that Garnier first introduced. This time, I got the correct shade and as you can see, Garnier's BB cream not only acts as a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated which obviously your foundation can't do, it also evens complexion and boosts a healthy glow. Also, it provides SFP 15 UV sun protection! OMG, why didn't I discover so much earlier on??? For only $10 you get all these?? Are you kidding me??


This is how it looks like. This one has creamy texture unlike the oil-free range and smells really good too! For best result, it is recommended that you apply it twice on your face and neck. It feels so hydrating and for me, it also lasts for the whole day. It provides a dewy finish, hence your skin looks glowy and healthy. HOWEVER, the downside of it is that if your skin is super oily and you don't have bad acnes on your skin, maybe just apply once instead of twice because you don't want to turn into a greaseball after a long day.


This one is eye roll-on BB cream for your under eyes because it is formulated to reduce dark circles and puffiness from crying too much for whatever reasons, lack of sleep and pulling an allnighter. To be frank, I'm not sure how accurate about the claim to smooth fine lines. The thing is, I don't use these products every day because I still use my normal foundation to work but I use these on my day off and weekends because it is fast, easy and hydrating at the same time. I wear it to catch up with friends, enjoy the sun at the park on lazy weekends and they work wonderfully. I guess you have to do a trial over 1 month or 2 to discover its full potential. That is, you have to use it every day consistently.


Inside the package. The texture is similar to the oil-free BB cream, more liquid-ish and you just need to stroke the roll-on gently on your under eyes and on you lids and use your ring fingers to gently dab in a circular way. Apply twice for best result as recommended. It blends well along the facial BB cream and of course remember to pick the right shade as well.


Ta-dah! My face without make up at all, purely BB cream. Please ignore my frizzy hair. It is due for a saloon trip soon. On another important note, if you have relatively bad acnes or acne scars, I doubt these products will be right for you compared to what concealers can do but regardless, you should probably give it a try considering its affordable price!

That's it on my update, will share next time if I find good and cheap products again!

Quick Post on Melbourne Marathon 2013

For the third year, I signed up for 5.7 km run sponsored by Medibank Health Solutions also formally known as Melbourne Marathon Festival. I started my first run back in 2011 and that was before I joined Fitness First. Ever since I started living in Australia, I have become more health conscious. I started worrying about my general well being even though I regularly go for general health check and thank God, my results are fine presently but you can never be too careful. Afterall, with all the money in the world, you can't buy health unless you eat gold caviar every day since the day you were born. I was just bull****ing.

Anyways, I can't remember how did I stumble upon Melbourne Marathon 3 years ago. Well, let's be honest, I'm not THAT good with my running skills so I will not sign up for full marathon sponsored by Medibank Health Solutions anytime soon or even in the remaining life I have. I can't do half marathon sponsored by Flight Centre either mainly because you need extensive training for that and I didn't have much time to train. 10 km which is sponsored by Coffee Club is also too much for me. Geez, 5 km is better than 3 km walk ok! and that's how I decided to sign up for 5 km run in 2011. It was also a test to my fitness level. I started training twice a week for 2 months in order to get my body (legs muscle) to get ready for the hit. I did one in the evening after work and one in the morning along the beach in st kilda. The view when you run along the beach is priceless!

This is what I'm talking about

Ok, this one is abit of a photoshop. I took this during a very gloomy day but it looks like a painting!


Ok, this one is more like it.

I like to run along st kilda beach because it is not only beautiful but very close to the city too hence it is so easily accessible. You see many people bringing their dogs for a walk and running with their babies in prams.

Even with those 2 months training, I completed my first run ever with massive effort and I literally felt like I was out of breath!

Second year I joined in 2012, they increased the course to 5.7 km sponsored by ASICS. They also moved the finishing line inside Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Although the course is longer, however the satisfaction of finishing inside MCG was pretty rewarding as the supporters cheered on you from the seats. I hadn't joined the gym as well when I signed up for 5.7 km run in 2012.
After my second year of running, I started experiencing knee cap issue and I went to see my physiotherapist many times to fix it. He just shook his head from side to side when I told him I joined the 5.7 km. Let's wind back a few years... I had car accident in the past and since then my knee hasn't been the same. I haven't visited a doctor to get a scan done on my knee partly because I don't think it is a big issue yet but I believe it will be in the future (NOT TO BE TRIED OUTSIDE). Trust me, when it comes to your body, you should always visit a physician as soon as you start experiencing some problems.

My physiotherapist said not to do it again as the harsh impact of the ground is bad for my knee and he said I should start doing some exercise to strengthen my core muscles. I agreed and that's when I decided to join Fitness First. It's been almost a year now since I started and I've been doing body attack, body combat and body jam classes. Occasionally I do do body balance as well just to break off the routine. Honestly, since I joined the gym, I have more knee issues, partly due to my incorrect knee bending posture as my knee tends to bend inwards as opposed to outwards. My physio did some tests and he said my hips strength is really weak and I need to work on that to avoid using lower legs muscles too much which could further damage my cartilage. Since then, I've been cutting down from 3 days of exercise to 2 days a week to avoid doing further damage to my knee.

Little did my physio know that I signed up for my third year of 5.7 km run! If he knew, he would probably not see me anymore. Sorry Andrew!

This year, I only trained once a week for a month and a half before the day as I am going to the gym one day a week as well on top of my once a week training. I still need to be careful with my knee to avoid using a wheelchair prematurely! I found that my fitness level has improved a lot compared to 3 years ago even with my bad knee. Strange thing is, my knee doesn't hurt when I walk or run, only when I bend down or walk down the stairs.
For the past 2 years, the weather on the Marathon festival has always been good and mostly sunny. Last year, it drizzled alittle bit in the morning but it settled down before we started running and it became sunny during the course BUT this year a.k.a today, the weather has never been nastier! It was pouring rain in the morning and if it wasn't for my wind breaker, I would be so drenched in the rain!
Unfortunately, due to the flood, part of the route was not accessible and the management decided to cut the course to 3km run instead. It was a mixed response from a lot of participants as it was quite disappointing for people who come very prepared and eager but for some people who doubt themselves, it was a relief. Me, I had mixed feelings of whether I should be overjoyed or disappointed. I should be overjoyed because I get to go harder in a shorter distance or I should be disappointed because this could be my last year running. I need to accept the fact that my knee may continue to trouble me in the future and I need to get it examined soon.

I am proud to say that as an amateur runner, my finishing position was 1812 among 6800++ participants for 3 km course and I finished it in 19 minutes and 32 seconds. The amazing winner of Melbourne full 42 km Marathon finished the run in 2 hours and 10 minutes! Man, that fellow doesn't need a car!


Starting line of the race. All these people were drenched including me!


The finish line. By this time, I was running out of breath already!


After I found my friend who joined the run with me.


Left to right, 2011 5 km run, 2012 5.7 km run and 2013, supposedly 5.7 km cut to 3km course.

Overall, I am very proud of myself to have been a apart of this major event in the past 3 years.
Melbourne marathon is supporting Celebral Palsy Education Centre which provides physical, occupational and speech therapy for their students who suffer from physical disability from a very young age. Every year, Melbourne Marathon Festival supports different charity organisations and when you sign up for the run, there is an option to give extra donation for your preferred charity organisation.
You can sign up in groups as well and represent your companies or non-for-profit organisations or even your own countries if you fly from overseas just to join the festival which I am not surprised, a lot of people do.

For more information for next year's festival, you can click here to find out more.

Gonna end this post with a photo of me (yes, narcist) from a wedding I attended last night


Well, those tissues at the background is very annoying but I was in a rush, couldn't retake the photo :(

P.S: Hope everyone had a great weekend! <3 p="">

Royal Melbourne Show 2013

First time I visited the Royal Melbourne show was in 2009. Now, 4 years later, I revisited again and this is abit funny to me. The first time I visited the Royal Melbourne show was when I was still with my ex-boyfriend. 4 years later, after 3 years of being single and gazillion times of heartbreaks, I have finally found someone and we'll save that story for another time :)

So today, I went to the showground again, with my new company.

The Royal Melbourne Show is held in Melbourne Showground every year around September and usually it goes on for a couple of weeks. This festival is suitable for family, friends who just want to have fun and young couple who want to explore new things. It has everything in it from theme park rides to food exhibitions, body, mind and spirit exhibitions and even livestock exhibitions. It is also renowned for the dog grooming show, dog competitions, dog pageant show and dog merchandise. Of course who can forget showbags for children where a whole massive tent is set up to sell cartoon heroes' merchandise.

The entrance fee is not very cheap either. For adult non-concession, it is $34 pp and there's a family value pack too. Melbourne now lives up to the name for the 4th most expensive city to live in the whole world. No 1 is Tokyo, 2 is Osaka and 3 is Sydney. No surprise at all. Anyways, back to to the topic.

It's a great place to spend your money on your kids and girlfriends. They have several games you can play to win some soft toys for your kids or girlfriends. Remember those arcade games you play where you try to throw 5 basketballs into the ring and if you can get one in, you score a toy? Those sorts of stuff with varieties. It costs $5 each game.

Unfortunately I didn't bring my proper camera so all photos below were taken by my good ol' iPhone 5 with camera application, Camera 360 and I used HDR & Enhance filters interchangeably.


I was so glad that it was such a good weather today on top of 21 degree after days with showers this week. I remember in 2009 when I went there, it was horrible cold weather and showered towards the evening. You can see my old post in 2009 where I wrote about Royal Melbourne Show and Tesselar Tulip festival. How much things have changed in my life but the Royal Melbourne Show remains the same even after 4 years.


This section is sponsored by Advance dog food company where they show many different dog breeders, I think mostly private. They were the cutest bunch ever! So many different dogs in this section but unfortunately I couldn't take as many photos as I wanted as I was only using my iPhone to take photos :( This is my most-craved type of dog apart from German Sheppard and Husky.



These dogs were preparing to join dog pageant competition.


Now, this is new. Well, for me this year. In 2009 when I went there, this Masterchelf Australia set up wasn't here. I've seen it in the TV but I didn't know it was filmed in Melbourne Showground. I thought it was somewhere really far. This is pretty cool as we got to see the set up for MasterChef Australia and one of the current contestants was there to take some photos with his fans. If I remember correctly, I think it was Lynton Tapp. I don't follow the show, so I didn't ask to take a photo.



Tadahhh, the kitchen where the masterchef contestants produce their masterpiece! It was just like what I saw in the TV. Pretty cool setting they have here.


I suppose this is the area where the judges taste on the food which contestants produce and deliberate the results.


Real herbs.. How cool is that? You can just pick some and throw it in the frying pan for the show.


We've seen this in the TV where they filmed from the top. Symbol of MasterChef Australia. Unfortunately, I am not tall enough to get a full view of it. Looks really nice from the top.


Enough of Master Chef. Let's move on to the theme rides. The rides cater for children and both adults. Some are only for children and some are only for adults or above 12yo  I believe.


I am always fascinated by Ferris wheel for some reasons. I find it so.. Calming and it makes you happy when you are high above. I always feel sad though when the carrier reaches the ground and the time is up.


One of the food exhibitions and the awesome part is, it is THE best time to sample food! From chips, sausages, coffee, olive oil & dressings, jams, beef, wine, yum! All sorts of food and they also have a huge food court which suits every taste buds! In 2009, it was so packed that people started sitting on the floor to enjoy their food because it was raining and everyone wanted to stay indoor. Great for the business I suppose.


Sampling on a gourmet sausages. The sausage was so yum and it has that smokey aftertaste that I can never forget.


I know, this is so disorganised. Anyways, more rides! I don't think I can ever do one of those again. Every year, as I get older, I feel like I'm more prone to heart attack if I ride on one of those. I won't deny the thrill though.


Well, let me take back my words, maybe if I have to, I'd rather do one of those rather than this one. I'm gonna step down with green face or throw up mid air. Hmm, not gonna be very glamorous I can guarantee.


There's so much more to do there but I don't want to be a spoiler. You have to experience it yourself if you haven't already been there. It's quite a fun place to spend on your weekend with your loved ones or friends. Royal Melbourne Show is accessible via train to Showgrounds or tram route 57 to west Maribyrnong which you can take from Melbourne city on Elizabeth st.

Finally, ending my post with my gigantic camwhore selfie!


Hope you guys had a great weekend like I did :) I think it is important to get ready for the dreading week again! Have a great week y'all~~~~
