almond croissants

So I ended up going to bed at midnight then waking up the next day to tackle the croissants only to discover in the recipe that before baking you must leave the croissants to rise either overnight in the fridge or in a warming pantry for 1 - 2 hours and I didn't have overnight or a warming pantry so I just had to make do with a warm oven for 2 hours. That didn't work. So just to make do I baked them anyway till they were golden brown and now I have little random pastry things!

Tea party with croissants

I will be having un petite tea party for deux et plus tomorrow, and tonight I have started making almond croissants from 'Alison Holst's Bread book' the recipe can be hand made or use a bread maker so I have opted for the bread maker option! Here is lovely photo of how they should turn out.

I will post photos of the results tomorrow~!

Me singing on Youtube

I performed at my friends 21st Birthday in March and found out a video of me singing is on the internet! I'm excited because although it will probably stay a fantasy I want to be world famous singer, with the kind of independence that Lady Gaga has. Like writing my own songs and not lip synching when performing. Also being in charge of my image, not being just another sex driven pop star. Here is the link of me singing and please feel free to critique me!

My Curve-spiration!

I want a body like this, but because I am not naturally boobalicious I will have to do without

This is the awesome Joan Holloway played by Christina Hendricks. So plump, so ginger, so pale, so beautiful!


Her clothes are great. All the ladies on Mad men dress fabulously but I relate to Joan (Christina) due to her colouring which is similar to mine.

Silly Kitty

This is my Kitty Cat Buddy,




He is a mongrel and an annoying one at that. Last night while getting ready for a pot luck birthday dinner he came into my room and because I closed the door he pee'd on my drawers. Yes thats right, he pee'd and not a squat but standing straight with his tail in the air right against my drawers. I love his stupid little face, and his soft fur and that fact that he likes to snuggle on the couch but he has a habit of peeing inside, and once he poo'd! does anyone know of a reason why? Are there any cat whisperers out there?!

My body shape

I have just discovered my body shape is a spoon! I went to this great website www.shopyourshape.com and entered in my measurements, the answer was exactly right! Definitly go to it!

and so it begins...

It's another rainy day in wellington and I have just had a bath, I tried a lukewarm bath instead of a hot bath because after reading different advice from the internet it said that a cooler bath is better than a hot bath, something to do with your own body heat matching the cooler water.

Whatevs.

So I washed my hair, put in conditioner, put my hair inside a shower cap and put on my Wondercap Heatcap (http://www.wondercap.co.nz/). it has been ten minutes and I will now wash it out using cold water to close the hair follicle.

Once that has happened in will go my Redken leave in treatment and I will lightly blow dry my hair so that it is still damp.

Then onto the first go at a hairstyle in the Vintage hairstyling book by Lauren Rennells.

It is called " Cascading Curls".

So I've started off with my Redken product and have only blow dried my hair slightly because I will be sleeping in the pin curls.

Heres my fringe seperated out

Here I have started according to the directions a row at the base of my scalp.

This is my head all done,


So lovely and swirly!

And here is it after a night of sleeping in it and a day at work.

I put in the flower because my fringe didn't turn out the way I had hoped!
