POTW: New Safeway Trolleys and Awkward Animals

Has anyone seen the new Safeway trolleys? The shallower ones that are black? I think Coles released the shallower trolley first so Safeway had to follow suit (well at least I think this is the case) and to try and beat the Coles design Safeway decided to add a BAGUETTE holder/flower holder. It is much like the baby seat in the normal trolleys just that it has two holes. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it YET and I'll make sure I'll take one when I get a chance to. But the idea is sooo ridiculous.
1. No one buys baguettes from safeway.....
2. Assuming the idea behind it is to keep the bread from being squished, aren't baguettes hard? Meaning they don't really squish, unlike normal loaves of bread (which most people eat+buy) which by the way fit perfectly into the baby seat.
3. Who wants to walk around with a massive bread stick pointed at the roof?

So what was Safeway thinking?


2 nights ago I received some belated birthday presents from my girls and now can proudly say I have an Awkward Zoo (minus a few I have yet to get). If you're a bit lost, go Youtube Wongfu Productions, 3 creative guys who make short films and other cool videos. They've grown heaps in the past few years and have their own online store with clothing and soft toys. One of the lines of soft toys are the Awkward Animal collection which are incredibly cute.

From L-R: Awkward Bunny, Awkward Panda, Awkward Turtle and Awkard Rhino.

The first 3 are new ones and the rhino was from the boy last year. Aren't they all sooo cute!!

They currently reside on my bed with the Coyote (who is actually kind of freaky to wake up to).

Thanks so much girls!!! 

Spent quite a bit of money in the past week, mainly due to purchasing my ball dress (the shipping was more than the actual dress =[ ). Also bought a new phone case. Hopefully my goodies will be in the mailbox soon awaiting me.

Do you still sleep with soft toys?

Poor rhino gets the living daylight hugged out of him when I miss my boy.

POTW: $5 Katies bag and Cheetos

Katies chain detail bag in mocha

About a fortnight ago my backpack broke, I'd been asking for it by carrying heavy loads in the <$5 bag I bought in  HK many years ago. I've actually half fixed it now but I don't know how the strap will hold up so I don't really want to use it. 

As most of you probably know Katies is a middle aged womens (*cough* old lady) shop but I found a $20 off discount code (spring20) + they currently have free shipping so I managed to snag this bag for $5 online. Sorry they don't have any of this bag left. The bag is surprisingly big and is able to carry A4 sized books and my netbook. I know it doesn't look that appealing but for $5 I really can't ask for much. 

I've let myself buy a little treat every fortnight and this one was it for last fortnight.This fortnight was a new basic long sleeve top for work/everyday. 

Cheetos ($1 from Coles this week)

I was craving chicken Twisties for some reason so when I was picking up milk and bread after work today I had a quick look at the chip aisle and saw chicken Twisties were on sale but somehow ended up buying Cheetos instead. Go figure. Haven't had Twisties in ages but Cheese and Bacon Balls somehow won this time. They were both the same price. Do you remember choosing which flavour (out of the 5 or so flavours out of the bag of 20 packets of chips) you want for recess in the morning in primary school? Cheese and bacon balls where my favourite trailed by chicken Twisties. 

Which flavour did you always pick?

Or does no one read my blog? (cept for my dad =.=)

Birthday Presents

I've kinda lost my focus on this blog, the productivity idea fell through and I haven't really thought of another idea yet. I want to have a theme, something different to others but I haven't quite figured it out yet. So I hope my loyal readers will bare with whilst this blog goes through it's phases. Next idea is a weekly post on a product. Hopefully I'll post on the same day every week, currently I'm thinking Sunday as a relaxing thing to do after work. And inbetween those posts I'll hopefully throw in a few posts here and there some inspirations.

As for this post I want to just thank the people who gave me presents for my birthday, I'd like to share some of the things I got.


Must thank the boy for the chocolate rose. Which got a little crushed in his bag and then even more so in mine. I don't want to eat it other the rose will be gone =[ The Favourites are also from him and they are irresistible, as you can probably tell I like my chocolate. Didn't take a picture of the bag he got me for my cleats as they're downstairs, but I'm pretty sure he was sick of my shoes brewing in its plastic bag so he found the perfect excuse to get me a better more breathable bag. And I forgot to include the toy Lamborghini he got me, my dream car =D

The long awaited Muji pen refills from Bens. Thanks soo much =] Though this wasn't really a present as I need to pay him back since I it was just something I asked him to help me buy overseas. His present actually isn't in the picture as my parents have mysteriously hid it somewhere, it was a bottle of Midori and something else you mix with it. Thanks to Abel as well.

The make up and nail polishes from Ben but chosen by ML because no guy wants to go cosmetic shopping. The nail colours are pretty bright and intense, not my usual colours which is good, need some colour. I might do a post on them some other time, my blog has turned into a nail polish review blog recently.

I absolutely LOVE the Donna Hay Magazine. Not only the recipes but the photography as well. Big thanks to  Vess and Val of Big Picture Stuff. Do check them out, they have amazing photography and inspirational posts. As you can probably tell I'm pretty excited about this magazine and have tabbed it like mad as there are so many things I want to make from it. They also got me a block of chocolate but I've gobbled that up whilst doing my Marketing Assignment =P

I also got a personalised photo frame from Nal which is sitting on my desk but won't take a photo of. It's soooo sweet. Thanks Nal!

Thanks to everyone who wished me Happy Birthday!

Stay tuned for this weeks product/inspiration/whatever I feel like.
