GAIA Pure Pregnancy

GAIA Pure Pregnancy products have been a blessing to trial. I had never tried nor heard of GAIA until I got sent these out but I am surely glad that these came into my possession as they have become something that I've put on my highly recommended list.
GAIA Pure Pregnancy comes in Belly Butter or Belly Oil which I love when you have the option of a cream/butter or oil.

GAIA Pure Pregnancy provides you with nourishing products to use on your belly, breasts, thighs and bottom areas. GAIA helps to maintain suppleness and elasticity of your skin during pregnancy and beyond. GAIA reduces the appearance of existing stretchmarks and the possibility of new ones.

I love the spray on oil - Its light, minimal greasy, comes in a spray bottle and feels and smells nice just like the belly butter - this is also very much the same but I like using the butter as what I call 'rub rubs for bubba'.
I use the Belly Butter when I am relaxed and giving my stomach and chest area a good rub for baby and then I use the Belly Oil as it's easy, convenient when I am in a hurry to get bubbas rub rubs done as it applies and rubs in so easy and quick.
I must say this is a daily product for me and I do believe that it has reduced the appearance of new stretch marks, although my stomach is growing at a rapid rate now; I have barely any new stretchmarks appear on my belly.
Both these products are ideal for dry, itchy skin and can be used to smooth caesarean scars.

GAIA Pure Pregnancy Belly Butter is deeply moisturising and contains pure cocoa butter, organic shea butter and a variety of organic oils in a cream that will leave your skin feeling soft without a greasy layer. RRP - $17.95 for 150ml

Legally Blonde: The Musical

All those who know me well enough will know that I have been a die hard biggest fan ever to Reese Witherspoon and fell inlove with her from her younger filming days.
Legally Blonde is definitely on the top of the list of my favs of her movies and I was the little groupie who went and saw these in cinemas - even the second one in cinemas by myself whilst I left my movie date watching something else haha.

When I heard Legally Blonde was being made into a Musical, I was dying to go! I was very lucky enough to be taken by my best friend to the musical - what a best friend right?!?!?!?


Lucy Durack played main character Elle alongside heart-throb Rob Mills playing Warner.
What amazing actors to be selected. Was a bit sad that Rob played the bad guy, would of loved to have seen him as Emmett.


Legally Blonde is an awesome girls night out to get the crew together and enjoy something different then just a plain old lunch or dinner date.
Legally Blonde: The Musical has catchy songs that will get stuck into your head and leave you singing them after the show in your head, or maybe in the shower?? whatever your fancy ;P

My favourite things about the musical was selecting Erika Heynatz as Brooke who is accused of murdering her husband and needs a good lawyer to prove her innocence.
I've seen Erika on TV a few times and it was really good to see her live in performance doing something other then tv shows. Who knew that Erika was that fit and had a perfect body? I was so shocked seeing her in her jail jumpsuit, that woman is stunning!!
In the jail scenes you will see that some of the girls in the background are boys which I had a chuckle over - wonder if it was balloons for those oversized boobs?

ELES Signature Eye Quad

Another love devotion blog post to my beloved ELES cosmetics is for the amazing ELES Signature Eye Quads. ELES have 3 gorgeous signature eye quads as featured below in my collage. These quads would be the perfect eye shadows to sport in Winter.

Magical alone but mesmerizing when they merge, ELES Mineral Shadow Quad creates a myriad of eye effects within one convenient compact. Hypoallergenic, Oil-free, Dye-free, Talc-free, Fragrance-free. Earth-derived micro-minerals produce a smoother application for longer lasting eyeshadow that is crease resistant. Jet milled pigments create a smooth velvet finish and blend easily. Vitamins A, C & E to condition and protect the delicate eye area.


A must have for winter is the ELES Signature Eye Quad in Nouveau Riche, the quads have 4 silky pearlescent shades and in the one I am lucky enough to posses is a beautiful warm quad selection of brunt orange, warm brown, gold and charcoal. 

The way I wore mine was to brush the gold underneath my eye, put a base on the eyelid of the brunt orange, crease with the warm brown and streak the edge of my eyelid with the charcoal.

27/28 weeks

So our due date has been properly confirmed 12.09.2013 so that puts us back nearly a week in time so it would mean we would be 28 weeks pregnant this Thursday coming instead of the saturday that just past...   :( Kinda depressing as it means we are delayed a week of having our darling here.

Picking a baby name has been a real hard task. I don't know how people decide so quickly, Daniel & I have had such a hard time thinking of something that we would like to have our daughter named for the rest of her life. It's such a huge deal to pick a name, it's something that you will always have to live with; It's not like you can change their names like you do with your dolls or animals when you are younger.
Let's hope we find a name in time before bubs is here!

Something I am really miss during pregnancy is gym; lifting the heavy weights, being on a weight loss campaign and seeing good changes in my body. Working for a supplement company and having used all the products prior to pregnancy also is something I missed.
Can't wait to get back into it after bubs, will be finishing off my PT course and then it will be hard work on this body - seems Daniel says I'll only have a year until I'm pregnant with the next hahah!

Daniel & I booked in for our 4D scan at the end of the month, so very excited to see a life like scan of our baby. I can't wait to share pics with everyone and also have a dvd of it to watch over and over.

Sleeping has been a hard task mainly because I get so uncomfortable - I don't know if it's just our bed or if it's just me getting bigger and being uncomfortable because of it.
It seems our bed isn't big enough for Daniel, Body Pillow, Myself and the baby stomach... It's a fight over who takes up the most room and whose over whose 'line' in the bed haha.
Queen size beds so not recommended for pregnancy - King Size bed would be more comfortable or actually maybe 2 queen beds pushed together haha!

I handed in my maternity leave paperwork on Tuesday - it's making it feel a little closer having a finish date... 16th of August, 2013 will be my date to pack up for a year from the office ready to have my life changed forever.

Had my first glucose test yesterday - drink wasn't that bad to start with but as soon as you get half way, gosh that was cruel! Bubs wasn't even phased by it, I got warned by people that bubs will go physco but not at all. She slept through it all and probably gave 2 solid movements that I could feel through the whole thing.
I have always been scared of needles (yes, I know - well you haven't done yourself any favors getting pregnant) but I'm getting better - this blood test didn't get me worked up too much and didn't really bother me either.

Slava's SNOW SHOW storms into AUSTRALIA - Double Passes Giveaway.

The multi award-winning international sensation SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW storms into Australia for a limited season playing at Comedy Theatre, Melbourne from 17 July to 28 July 2013.  

"Slava’s Snowshow is to clowning what Cirque du Soleil is to circus. Slava’s Snowshow is as theatrical as it is simple, as involving as it is inspiring.”   - Variety, USA


Slava Polunin created his Snowshow following his sensational performance as part of Cirque du Soleil’s Alegria, drawing on the influence of artists such as Charlie Chaplin, Marcel Marceau and Leonid Engibarov.  He and his company of clowns have taken clowning out of the world of circus, and brought it into the theater.  SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW is a fusion of traditional and contemporary theatrical clowning arts, and a beautifully crafted visual spectacle.


The show brilliantly creates a world of wonderment and fantasy that transports the audience to a joyous dream-like place, where a bed becomes a boat in a storm-tossed sea; a woman is wrapped in cellophane 
and becomes flowers in a vase; a child walks in amazement inside a bubble; SLAVA boards a train and then becomes the train, his chimney-pot hat billowing smoke; and a web of unspun cotton envelopes the audience. The stunning finale sees a letter turn into snowflakes, and the flakes turn into a snowstorm, which whirls around the auditorium, leaving the audience ankle-deep in snow.
