New Glasses!

I have been having to wear glasses since I was about the age of 8 years old, but only for reading. It has now come to the stage where I have to wear them all the time, so I thought when I was choosing my frames, I needed pairs that go with everything, and that I will hopefully continue to enjoy wearing for at least a couple of years. These were my choices!

Osiris - Pinkish Frames
                         

I really like the frame of the glasses, and thought they suited the shape of my face. My mum thought it would be a good idea to buy a pair with colour. I'm still not sure about the boldness of the pink, but I'll wear them nonetheless.. I mean at least I can see well with them?

Osiris - Tortoise Shelled frames with metal arms

These are my favourite, I love everything about them! I think the shape suits my face, and I love the tortoise shell pattern. I also like that the arms are metal, and have a nice pattern on them, it really suits the plastic frame. I think this pair will be the ones I wear everyday, they'll go with everything!

p.s. It was such  a lovely day (25 degrees Celsius on the second last day of Winter is pretty exciting!) I decided to take my photos outside. I can't wait for the hot weather!

Kalangadoo Farmers Market



 As I had the day off work, my family and I decided to travel 30 minutes down the road to the Kalangadoo Farmers Market. They have a lovely cafe, with lots of local food and drinks, and a room full of 'markety' things to purchase. There are locally made things as well as things from overseas (such as Peru). Everyone was so lovely, and there is a barbecue selling beautiful sausages, onions and burgers. We bought cheese, plum sauce, dvd's and videos as well as a very bright beanie. It was a lovely drive out to Kalangadoo, and the market was even more pleasant! If you would like to know more about the Kalangadoo Farmers Market, check out their website - Kalangadoo Farmers Market.

Review; Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle


I haven't really read  a book like this before, but this style of novel has really taken my fancy! The story follows three different characters, and each characters story is written by a different author. Eventually you find out that all theses characters are connected in different ways and all re-unite at the end. When one character was mentioned I found myself going "Oh my gosh! I know them! I read their story!" Then I realised "Of course I have read their story. They know I have read their story. That's the point". #conversations with myself
Anyway, this is a really nice, sweet Christmas story that I didn't put down until i finished it! Thank goodness for school holidays!
I have now discovered that I love books way to much for them to end. Just like Erik Erikson's theory of human development; even if you have led a wonderful life and are happy how you spent it, everyone feels despair at death, either because it's a sad ending or because they don't want their happy life to end. I have found that all these books I have been reading recently are too good, and I don't want them to end. Even if their is a sad ending.
Sorry if I rambled a little bit there.. it made sense to me, so I was wondering if it made sense to anyone else?

Anyway, make sure to pick this book up and read it, you will not be disappointed!
