free at last

I am finally free!!...free at last from all the frizzies, well at least for 5 months. My hair has been crazy lately and I finally, finally got this done. I am beyond happy, only those with curly, frizzy hair would understand my agony & pain :P

PS. Enter this fabulous giveaway on Florabella for a gorgeous Theit camera bag!!

as usual

photos from my week so far.
life is keeping me busy...as usual!

list five: things I'm bad at

Although it is nice to think we are good at everything, I know this is impossible. I am really rubbish at a lot of things and these are the ones I can recall, I am sure there are plenty more.

1. Acting my age, I am almost 40 people and very rarely act my age.
2. Talking on the phone, I hate it and try to avoid it as much as possible
3. Public speaking. I cringe just thinking about it and as much as I try to calm myself down I still find my voice quivering and my palms sweating like crazy.
4. Avoiding sweets
5. Maths. I cannot help my 16 year old doing 3 unit maths, thank goodness Andres is brilliant at it he would surely get an big F with his mum helping him.
6. Sports in general. I was always picked last at school.
7. Things being messy. I can't work in the middle of chaos, things need to be clean for me to able to concentrate.
8. Handling criticism. I admit I have gotten better but it is always so hard to hear criticism and not take it as an attack.
9. Vomit. I can't smell it or see it without feeling sick myself.
10. Crying when I am angry, why does it happen?
11. Writing on a card be it a birthday, engagement, wedding card. It takes me FOREVER
12. Adding or subtracting in my head quickly, and the faster I try to go the more confused I get.
13. Remembering things from my childhood or for that matter things that happened a year ago.
14. Folding a fitted sheet. I try and try but in the end I just end up shoving it together to the same size as the plain sheet.
15. Checking clothes before they go in the washing machine. I usually end up with clothes covered in toilet paper.
16. Heavy sleeper. When the kids were much younger and they would be unsettled at night I would sleep right through it without even hearing them, even now if asleep I will not hear the rain or the garbage men with their noisy trucks. Luckily Andres is a light sleeper.

Photo shoot

This is the first part of my photo shoot for my first photomedia assignment. This is Alec posing as Frank Sinatra, I'm not too sure I like the black background or the lighting but I will be having another go on Thursday where I am hoping to refine and perhaps somehow make these photos better.

I have to mention something that happened...a girl in my class who didn't have her model was in the studio helping and asked me "is that your brother?",  I giggled a little and said "no, this is my son" to which she then said "you look far too young to have a child",  I told her I actually have four and she just couldn't believe it. I think I found my new bff!

My model was very good and all he asked for payment was chips from the vending machine for $2...score!

PS. Any suggestions or tips would be wonderful

Hi there goodnightlittlespoon friends! I'm Katyha from lovekatyha and I was overjoyed when Bianca asked me to guest blog for her while she is away celebrating her 21st and spending time with her family and friends.

So today I am here to share with you a little list that Bianca was curious to about ;)







* This was me at school - I was in Year 12 and the year is 1990



* My parents - mum was pregnant with my brother so I think this is 1978. I am the one standing up and my older sister is next to our picnic box :P  I am five and both my parents 25

* What makes me laugh? nothing beats a Seinfeld episode - they never get old

And to add my list of things I like to discover about people:
- what is inside their bag
- what is on their desk
- what books are on your bookcase
- what is on the front of your fridge
- what you collect

thanks you Bianca for having me...it was a real pleasure & honour! I can't wait to see all the other guest posts :D
