March Lipstick Favourites

If you haven't already noticed, I love lipstick. All colours, and that includes blues and yellows and oranges, if I had those colours of course. But last month I had 3 favourite which I wore almost every day. And funnily enough, 2 of them were by the same brand. 

The first 2, which were from Revlon, were from the Just Bitten Kissable range.  The first one, (picture below) is in the shade Cherish/Devotion. Its bright, it's a very spring colour too. I was enjoying it as much as I could before Winter came. But this lipstick, just like the other one by Revlon, tastes and smells like mint, and I don't like that about it at all.

Now this lipstick here is my second favourite lipstick of all time (my first is all by Revlon in the Just Bitten Kissable range in the shade Sultry, too bad it was way to dark to wear that time of year). It's in the shade Sweetheart/Valentine, and is also a bright and fun lipstick. Both of these lipsticks can be worn in Summer and Spring and bring more colour to whatever you're wearing or whatever makeup look you have.

The last lipstick was by NYX in the Diamond Sparkle Lipstick range. This one is in the shade Sparkling Rust. Its great, it glides on easy and its a great colour. But, yes theres a but, the glitter is thick and you can feel it on your lips. The only way to really explain it, is to say that it makes your lips feel bumpy. I guess you can only just take a look yourself.

So those were my favourite lipsticks for the month of March, and I hope to be back soon with my favourite lipsticks and even beauty products for April.

Outfit of The Day- My Black and White Dress

My Black and White Dress

Lately I've found myself wearing dresses, which I don't usually do. Ive normally always been a jeans and t-shirt type of girl. Zachary, my fiancé, bought a dress for me last week. It's long, and I've only ever worn one long dress and that was at my debutante. I love it, I feel like such a mature young woman when I wear it, which is strange for me to say because I've always considered myself to look and act quite immature. But, theres one problem with it - I look either pregnant or fat. It's such a tight dress, and my body shape is so odd that it pushes my stomach out. Either that, or I am pregnant and I have no idea.

The last photo looks like it's a part of a maternity photo shoot. Now enough putting myself down. Zachary paid a total of about $30 AUS dollars for this dress from a mall clothing store in my little country town. I paired it with jacket from ValleyGirl. Shoes? Yeah, I just chucked on a pair of thongs. I do live in the country so an outfit like this with thongs is totally acceptable. And for those who don't live in Australia, thongs are flip flops. We just give things weird names.

Living in the country is fantastic, any photo I take can be beautiful. And I have plenty of places to pose in front of for photos like these. But I now know to suck in that gut for my next outfit - I don't know if I'm ready to be a mother just yet.

Relay For Life 2015

All cancer survivors, carers and supporters gathered together on Friday night for the Annual Relay For Life. Relay For Life is a fun overnight experience that raises money for Cancer Councils research, prevention and support services.  Teams walked around Coughlin Park in Horsham all night to recognize and celebrate the memory of loved ones who lost their battle to cancer, as well as those who have overcome it. 

This year, there were 50 teams and 937 participants who helped raise a whopping $122,212.20 for Cancer Council. Although the goal for this year was $190,00, the money raised is still a very large amount. 

Although I did not participate in Relay For Life this year, I still attended for a few hours to prepare for the 9pm Candle Ceremony, and to mourn my mother who passed away from breast cancer when I was only 5 years old. I purchased a paper bag and a candle, which were put on display at the candle ceremony. I think Relay For Life is a fantastic opportunity to not only raise money, but also to have fun and remember all those who have been touched by cancer, both alive and deceased. It gives us a chance to remember our loved ones who have passed, and help others so they can have a chance at life.

Welcome To My Place

I wish I could think of some witty and funny and way to start this post, but I cannot.

My name is Serena, and I live in a tiny wheat-belt town in rural Victoria. I'm currently eighteen years old, and have a love for writing. Am I any good at it? I highly doubt that, but I'm not stopping any time soon. I have very strong opinions on things that are happening in our country, and around the world as well. 

I'm an extremely organised person, you could say that I have OCD. I have a crazy obsession with sticky notes and stationary, and new notebooks too. In my opinion, a desk or work area is not complete without a fake indoor plant.

I find myself to be a very happy person. I'm always optimistic and I'm never afraid to take chances. I'm not a crazy dare devil who will go jump of a bridge to feel like I've accomplished something, but I will never turn down an opportunity that is given to me. You could say I'm a 'glass half full' type of girl.

What are my plans for the future? I don't see a need in planning your future, because when the time comes you may not even like you've wanted all along.
