LEGO CHAMPIONS?

Hello,
Today i had a friend over, which i normally dont tell you if i do, but today was special. My little brother, Harrison (4), has collated 3 whole box fulls of un-built LEGO. So Monique and I decided that maybe we would help the little hommie out and build it for him.


Say HI to the LEGO building team. Harrison behind us, me with the blonde hair and Monique with the brown hair.


We got straight to work. Do you know how hard it is finding pieces that the damn instructions claim you need within 6 different LEGO settings. (City, Police, Farm ect.)

My little sister, Amber (2), even got into it.


Then we got a little side tracked and decided to capture a picture of us throwing LEGO in the air. This is a FAIL!


But then success!!!



We then blamed us getting side tracked on our empty stomaches. So we decided to take a break.



Called a few people...no really this isnt just a pose, we were on the phone.



Then it was time for clean up.


It was such hard work Monique had to fan me with a LEGO box lid.


Then i bet your wondering what we acomplished. Absolutley nothing. Except for these...mine was supposed to be a Police Station and Moniques was a Garage. They aren't complete so maybe there will be a part 2 to this story.


Then i decided to throw in a glamour shot. Just because this is a beauty blog and all.


I hope you are all enjoying being with your friends and family during this holiday season.

Chart Chat UK: December 27, 2009


Something quite interesting happened this week.  The battle for Christmas number one is over, with a result that until a few weeks ago would have been unthinkable.  Rage Against the Machine managed to beat the yearly X-Factor winner's single to the top spot for the crucial Christmas chart, leaving the reality talent show champ languishing in number 2.  But X-Factor winner Joe Mcelderry this week is redeemed, edging up to the pole position and saving himself the embarrassment of being the only X-Factor winner ever to not top the charts.  In the end, everybody wins - the anti-establishment crusaders got their Christmas chart victory, and the X-Factor machine keeps on trucking. 
Lady Gaga holds down the fort at 3, while Cheryl Cole racks up her second straight solo top 5 with "3 Words," her brilliant Will.i.am collaboration.
The rest of the chart suffers from the post-holiday blues, with no new material put out until the new year.  In fact, the only new entry that isn't a Christmas tune is Jay-Z featuring Mr. Hudson with "Young Forever" all the way down at 30. 

Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday and a happy new year to you all!

The UK Top Ten:
1 - The Climb: Joe Mcelderry
2 - Killing In The Name: Rage Against The Machine
3 - Bad Romance: Lady Gaga
4 - 3 Words: Cheryl Cole ft Will.i.am
5 - Starstrukk: 3Oh!3 ft Katy Perry
6 - Meet Me Halfway: Black Eyed Peas
7 - Don't Stop Believin': Journey
8 - Russian Roulette: Rihanna
9 - You Know Me: Robbie Williams
10- Tik Tok: Kesha

GUESS CHARM BRACELET

Hello,
You may have seen this bracelet in my
Christmas Haul. It is a Guess "Charm Bracelet" and it was a total surprise when i recieved it on Christmas day. It was suggested by JustJenny that i do a detailed post on my favourite Christmas present. It was a toss up between the Cab55 purse and this bracelet but i couldn't decide, so i am doing both.

Here is everything it was packaged with. (Except for the tissue paper)
The bracelet itself only has 2 permanent charms. A love heart that says "Guess" and a mini red triangle that says "Guess?".

Here is an upclose picture. It is super shiny.

CHRISTMAS HAUL

Hey guys,

I hope you all had a fantastic christmas!! Today i would like to share with you what i recieved from Santa because it has been requested a couple of times. Although presents are a great part of christmas, it is truley about sharing time with your family.
To see my christmas wishlist click
here.



I GOT MY CAB 55 BAG
I was highly doubting that i would get this just because they are so expensive and difficult to purchase. I don't know how my parents did it but they really came through and surprised me so much on christmas day. I love the purse, it is so cute and beautiful. More details with defintley be coming up soon.


Forever New purse. This is so adorably girly and actually holds quite a lot.


Guess charm bracelet. If you ask me this is a step up from my Pandora bracelet. So incredibly shiny and i was super excited because i love Guess. More details coming up also.


A Swarovski Bee charm for my Guess charm bracelet pictured above. This is sooo adorable. Super sparkly and unbelivably cute. Expect to see many more of these charms coming up in future hauls.

Estee Lauder earring set. Pure gold and Swarovski crystals.


Matching Estee Lauder necklace.

DKNY "Be Delicious" Green Apple Purfume.

My rainbow Bikini!!! I was really excited to get this because it was on my wishlist and i have not seen any around.


Clinique 3 Step.


Clinique rinse-off, Foaming Cleanser. I have a mini tube and this is the bigger one.


A cute bath set.

Lip Therapy.


Mode nail polish in "Heiress".

Coconut soap.


Breakfast At Tiffany's DVD. I love this movie but have never gotten around to buying it. I think Santa knew.
Jewel Earbuds earphones. The jewels are so sparkly. I have the apple ones but they don't compare to these. Besides, they match my iTouch case.
Forever New sunglasses.


I think this was a joke with my mum. I can never find a torch in a blackout, I somehow always need one when we go out and i even have some mini torches in my lipglosses. This one is super bright too because it is LED.
Forever New earrings in "Peach Drops".

NOW BE PREPARED TO SEE LOTS OF JEWELLERY...
I dont know why but my parents always give me HEAPS of earrings every christmas. I think it may be because i go to a private school and they are pretty strict with jewellery so my parents pick out school appropriate earrings for me.
2x Bevilles earrings.
*Dangly-ish ones with a ball on them
* Sleepers


2x Bevilles earrings.
*Pearl studs
* Cubic Zirconia studs

Swarovski crystal bracelet.
*According to their website, this is an Italian exclusive or something-noice*


I KNOW I AM GOING TO GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS ON THE NEXT 3 ITEMS BECAUSE I GENERALLY DO.
So let me just clear this up with the ring being real and bought from the actual Chanel website and the necklaces being fake. You can buy the fake necklaces from a place called "Mobussa".
Chanel ring. One of my favourite presents i got. Very comfortable and super sparkly.


Blue "Double C" necklace.


Red "Double C" necklace.


Tightrope, Floral skirt.


Cotton On, Frangipani dress.


Tightrope "Peace" shirt.

Dotti "Pink" frilly top.


Tempt "Floral" dress.


Bright yellow pumps. So cute. Brightens up any outfit.


Piping Hot sneakers.
THEN I GOT A MIXTURE OF FRUIT AND CANDY.
But these are the 2 standouts.

So i got everything on my list except for the MAC eye and lip makeup remover, the camera and the phone. However my mum said that when i buy my camera and phone she will put $100 towards both and include that as my christmas present. Plus i didn't even need anothr MAC remover because i am not even quarter way through mine at the moment. I am so thankful for all of the items i recieved that were not even on my wishlist. They were amazing surprises.

That took a long time to upload the photos and write captions. I think it is worth it, especially because of the requests i got. If you would like to do one of these posts please do and tell me in a comment below so i can check it out.

As always, thank you for reading and checking out my blog.
