Shabby Chic Room Decor

The other day I was trying to rearrange my room a bit to get it in the style I want. I am aiming to get a vintage/shabby chic look. At the moment my walls are light pink but I think that it looks a bit too girly. I think that I just need cream or white walls, oldish looking white furniture with pops of colour around the place. My room is very small so if most of it is white then it will feel bigger and less crowded. An awesome shop for shabby chic decor is 'Live Laugh Love'. LLL is filled with really awesome little ornaments and pillows and furniture, you need to check it out!

One of my favourite things

Unicorn, Unicorns and oh yeah more unicorns.  My life is just a world full of unicorns. If you didn't know (which you obviously didn't) I absolutely love unicorns. Like whats not to love about unicorns. They're in the name of my blog for crying out loud. Why I love unicorns, i'm not actually too sure. Maybe it's that there magical and that they so beautiful. Oh I totally need a unicorn, or to get out and about a bit more. Guilty! I also have this fan craze for Harry Potter (i've read them 3 times) so when I leave school my friend (who also loves HP) and I are going to somehow get to Hogwarts, go to the forbidden forest and find a unicorn. It is my dream. So if you know where I can find a unicorn please put it in the comments! I need unicorns!

4 Exercises Where You Don't Feel Like You're Exercising

Well that was a long title to write. So if you can read properly you will know that this afternoon I am going to be sharing with you my favourite non-exercising exercises, if that makes sense. To be honest, I don't exercise that much and I hate running, swimming and all of those cardio/weight lifting type things and I know that a lot of you guys do too. So I rounded up my favourite activities that will help burn some calories. I am going to do this in a sort of routine so you can do these in order.

Stretching/Yoga posing
Before you do any hardcore exercise always stretch. Don't do any yoga breathing yet because you don't want to lose all of your energy.

Bike riding
I absolutely LUV bike riding. I haven't been on a bike for ages and want to go on one right now *stomps foot and pounds fist on table*. When I say bike riding I don't mean getting all of your fancy bike gear on and sprint peddling down the road with a big group of other people. I simply mean getting on a mountain bike, a helmet and going on a relaxing ride in a park somewhere or on a bike track.

Trampolining
Trampolining is super fun and to be truthful I still bounce around like a little kid on the trampoline in our yard. Not that its a bad thing, trampolining is so fun a really good way of exercising. You don't have to buy a little mini trampoline like at the gym. Go on a real fun trampoline and try some somersaults and split jumps and I guarantee you will have the time of your life.

Hula Hooping
Hula hooping is so, so good for you. Just 30 minutes of it will burn off like 300 calories! Hula hooping can take a bit of time to master for some, but once you get the hang of it you'll be doing it 24/7.

Yoga
Yoga is always a good thing to do after a long hard work out session because it relaxes you and cools you down. If you have good concentration and balance skills then yoga is definitely your thing. 

So go and get exercising now! I certainly will be. Just remember kids, that every couple of hundred calories dropped equals a Dominoes a pizza :) mmmm.....

What's Happening Today

Hi it’s 2:35pm on Saturday the 30th August and I thought that I might share with you what is happening in Australia today. 

It’s pretty shady with a bit of a breeze, the weather is nice but a tiny bit gloomy. Today i’m wearing a pink, flowy, spaghetti strap top from Just Jeans and dark blue denim, high-waisted shorts from Valleygirl. 

From what I can see from my back verandah,

Louie’s napping

Birds are chirping

Mum’s reading

I’m blogging

Biscuits are baking

Cars are rolling by

Neighbours are no where in sight

THE CLOUDS HAVE MOVED AND THE  SUN HAS SUDDENLY SHONE ON MY FACE REALLY BRIGHTLY

People are setting up the Camp Hill fair for tomorrow

Today is a lazy day, just the way I like it. I promised myself that today I would spend a lot of time around the house cleaning and being more active but so far I have broken this promise.

See Yah,
