Start of May.

Last day of April today, and May starts tomorrow. The month has gone by so quickly. Im still in limbo with my personal stuff, but trying to get into the rythem of doing my yoga every day, it really is good. I had a headache today, have it quite often, and after doing some yoga and opening my balcony door wider I definatly felt better. Skin has gone a bit bad lately too, should really be drinking those 8 glasses of water.
Been reading THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF HOLLYWOOD DIET SECRETS, really good read, too many to choose from, ha ha.
I did make some more Banana Bread today too, sort of messed it aswell as added some yeast to make it rise and as soon as it came out of the oven it flopped. Well will not be doing that again lol.
My next one to experiment is the old Chelsea Buns I remember from going shopping with my mom at Christians then changed to Pick 'n Pay, in Hillcrest. Remember eating them in the back of the parents orange Bettle lol what a long time ago. Will also be trying Croissants too, now that will be hard.

Oh and can't wait for Tiffany to come home too....

Result..

I tried out the Steamed Buns again, and used my moms recipe for a bread dough mix this time, just to test it, and it worked. So happy, its amazing, me and my fiance love these Steamed Buns but the mix I put in was ok, was mince with soy and sesame oil, will have to change it don't like the taste that much when reheated, needs to be sweeter. But overall so pleased!

Will be trying out custard ones next just to be experimental, but not sure how to get the roundness of the Buns... hmmm will see. So I have posted these pics of ones I made last night and reheated for lunch today.

Natural Ingredients

Been on a craze lately about all natural beauty products and have discovered Jurlique, Triliogy, A'kin, and SKII.
Though this SKII is real expensive, but the moisteriser is totally what is that for? But never really try it. It really good, the moisteriser is like air and good for me as I have ily skin. Will be trying this out too when I am earning again. devine. SKII is one of those really expensive high botique ranges that you walk past and thik, hmmm
A'kin I have tried some samples, they are devine too and so natural, no chemicals.
The Jurlique is ok, nice smells and a lot of hype, but maybe not for me, too expensive and A'kin is sort of a replacement for it.
Trilogy is great, will be buying that again, have the Everything Balm and its is exactly as it says on the tin, just amazing and can be used for everything. Will be trying their other products.

Steamed Buns

A recipe I found on another blog for steamed buns again, this recipe sounds like it could work well see the blog: She Simmers. I will be trying this out soon, prob a sweet version. :)

Steamed Buns

Saw this nice recipe on this site for these Asian Steamed Bun Dough that I am totally obsesed with making and perfecting.

Baking when I have nothing else to do ....

Well since being at home and having nothing to do other than clean, exercise, watch tv, tend my little garden on the balcony, surf web, and go into town for window shopping, as we have to save money, recently got into Baking, made Banana Bread which turned out great, made some steamed beef buns, its asian, did not turn out good, made some hot cross buns turned into more of a hot cross bread lol, and recently choc chip mini muffins which we are snacking on now mmm turned out great. Will be making the Banana Bread again was delish! And the fiance loved it, was gone in about a day and a half.

Got it from this site: http://www.thehealthybaker.com.au/recipe/ if anyone was interested.

I will be attempting the Asian steamed buns but will get a mate of mine to go through it with me as he makes them all the time. Phew..

Grecian Gowns

Its been a while but I think I have decided on a wedding dress, the Grecian Gown style looks great, and as im curvy I think it would suit me, and some of the gown I have seen on this website are so amazing! http://www.aisledash.com/gallery/grecian-goddess-wedding-gowns/599119/

And some of these Vera Wang ones are amazing too. Like us mortals could afford them... but they could be copied by a talented dressmaker..

What was on TV

Just saw something on A Current Affair tonight, was about that church who was actually a cult, and that say woman are worthless, and kids marry each other. How sick can people be and gulable??? this is why I dont join church groups. And they ask for 10% of all their earnings. How can they get away with it.........

A bad March

Well its been a while since I have been here, a lot has happened, I was made redundant, in not a nice way by my company, well I was not happy there anyway, but the way they did it was so back handed and a stab in the back. But I am happy not to work for them anymore, its one of those that you get depressed every morning and dont want to go in, kinda thing.

Well all has ironed out now, visa is sorted and applying for PR now with my fiance, thanks poppie!. It is still boring to be at home doing nothing, but the angry state and sad state of mind set has passed and while I am waiting for things to be accepted before I apply for jobs again, may aswell try and get fitter and loose some weight. There really are no jobs at mo, but I have to wait till I can send out a wave of resumes again. I really feel for those out there who were made redundant and are not on PmRand have to leave. I was so upset and disheartened that I could leave the heaven that is oz. I really do love this country.

Well hope I can add more to my blog now and etc. to all this blog stuff. xoxo
