Happy New Year?

Long time no see! I would just like to say a Happy New Year to all of you! That is however if I can still say that... Yes I am aware of the fact I am closer to the Chinese New Year rather than January 1st but I have my reasons... Kind of...

The year didn't start too well for me and my family. New Years was extremely low key as always so it's not a big deal for me really, so I stayed in. No makeup, messy hair, left over christmas food, the comfort of my bed and the power of catch up TV. 

The next day family friends from Cairns came over to stay for a few days so my time was spent entertaining 7 year olds with make overs and continuous nail painting (mysteriously it just kept chipping off!).

After they had left my cousin came to stay for a week so we decided to take a break from things for a while and just explore what the city I live in has to offer. We travelled to Fremantle- one of my favourite places in Perth and did all touristy things (I also bought a pair of chili socks. How cool!?), we went to the beach much to my dismay, took a trip to the latest Myers store (don't judge me okay) and went into town for some decadent pancakes that were surprisingly delicious, and finally a cheeky little visit to Perth's first Topshop store! I hadn't gotten around to it because I rarely go to the city and the last time I went it was the day before the grand opening- I was kicking myself for the timing! 

On the last few days my cousin was staying, my dad got quite ill and was admitted into hospital for a couple days. It was pretty serious but he is okay now. My family and I have just decided to try and be a little more careful with the things we consume. We are by no means a perfect picture of health but we tend to avoid regular take away and eat fresh, wholesome, home cooked food. Our family is trying to include more fibre into our diet so that means more fruit (yuck!) and more vegetables (yum!). So on this blog expect to see a few more healthy and fibre-full recipes but don't worry entirely, I cannot survive without a good ol' bit of sweet sweet comfort food!

So yeah that's it. That's my year so far. It could have started a bit better- preferably without any annoying children and health scares but hopefully it's out of the way for the rest of the year so everything can just run smoothly!

And once again... I know I am late, but please forgive me!

Speak soon! Xx

Can you believe it is 2015!?!?!
