Compliment

It's only 9.13am and I am at work and I just received a lovely compliment from one of the lady reps that comes in.  She said my hair was nice and asked if I'm normally blonde to which I replied yes.. She said it looks great and commented on the colours and just loved it.

I could tell she was genuine and not just sucking up as some of them do just to get business!

Her compliment has made me feel really nice today.  I did wash my hair last night and it looks ok today and I did put some make up on and something nice today... I guess it all makes a difference doesn't it!

Gorgeous Perfumes by Dolce & Gabbana

I was shopping with a girlfriend on Friday and it was lovely to be out without the kids.  Finally I was able to go in and look at some perfumes and try some on.  I am pleased to announce that I will definitely add these to my collection.

Dolce & Gabbana - the one

'the one' is a warm, oriental floral, with modern sensuality.
A fragrance with a strong personality and a contrasting golden sweetness.
Created for the ultimate diva, the one is at once tempting, modern and glamorous, embracing a touch of classicism.
The top notes radiate a vibrant luminosity, with a sun-touched citrus blend of bergamot and mandarin.
Warm fruity notes of luscious lychee and succulent peach add to the delight.
The passionate heart evokes an exploding femininity, with an opulent floral soul comprised of madonna lily, muguet and jasmine, creating a distinct, audacious signature.
An unexpected hint of plum glows as the base finally blooms with the luscious allure of precious vetyver, accentuated with the lasting warmth of vanilla and sweetened ambery-musk notes.

Experience this on the D&G Website...

OMG this is so me!  It is like Dolce & Gabbana made this perfume just for me! Oriental, created for the ultimate diva (me), modern and glamorous!  It's also a delight (that's me)!!!!!  I have gotta get some of this!!

Cost: approx $70- $100 for 50ml

Dolce & Gabbana - L'eau the one 

'L'eau the one' retains the enveloping notes of the original eau de parfum but turned into eau de toilette version: a seductively warm oriental floral, but with a newer fresher and fruitier appeal.
The top note: refreshing bergamot and the radiant, sun-drenched fruit notes of mandarin, lychee, peach.
The heart note: the mouth-watering notes of plum and exotic fruits with floral muguet, jasmine and madonna lily.
The base note: seductive amber, musk and moss notes blend with sensual vanilla and grounding vetyver.

I am very picky when it comes to perfume and many just make me sick.  I am not into floral and fruity usually and they often make me sick but this one takes floral and fruity and adds my favourite oriental, amber, musk and vanilla notes to it.

Cost:  $55 to $80

I am going to add these perfumes to my gift site.  So please, go ahead and purchase me one!

Diamonds are a girls best friend

I'm a girl that loves Diamonds!  

I walk past jewellery stores all the time, just mesmerised by the beautiful designs in the showcase.

Here's a few absolutely stunning designs to feast your eyes on!

Jennifer Hawkins Engagement Ring.

Jake had Jennifer's unique engagement ring custom made from Cerrone. This similar Cerrone design is an 18ct White Gold Brilliant Cut Diamond Ring worth $52,800.

Ooooh my goodness Roger, I hope you are looking at this blog because I LOVE THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!













Another gorgeous design.  I absolutely LOVE THIS ONE TOO!

This is stunning with the Aquamarine stone.

Just beautiful!

Stunning rock!

 A lovely Bridal set

 

Another gorgeous Bridal set.  I like this one!

 

This is what my engagement ring looks like. 

18 carat gold setting, set with 75 point diamond

75 point is three quarter carat
Claw setting

PS - this pic looks terribly yellow!  But yes, mine is yellow gold too.

I picked both my Bridal and Engagement rings.. it was just how it turned out because there was a huge sale on (LOL) plus, I am a total control freak!  I went solitaire, traditional in 18ct gold for the Engagement ring.  For my future rings, I am definitely going for white gold.  I think I prefer white gold now.  I haven't worn my rings since before I got pregnant with little man... I am too overweight :-(  But hey, I will change that some day :-)

This is a similar pic of my wedding band... 18ct gold set with Diamonds across the top of the band (full width).

How is this beauty for something different?

Hawaiian Flower Motif Engraved Wedding Band Solid Platinum

$1,599.00

I hope you enjoyed the showcase as much as me!

Hello and Welcome...

This is my new inspirational blog for weightloss and the journey to a "new me".  This blog will include anything that I find motivational, things I love, all things inspirational in any form; pictures, quotes or just words.

I have decided that 2011 is my year to start living life again.  It's a journey I need to take to help me beat depression, medication and weightloss.  It's my year to stop hiding & to start living & loving again.  It's my year to manifest my own destiny & bring all good things into my life.

Life is too short & it's time I shine again!
