Hey guys!
It's been a while, I've been so slack lately.
Actually that's nothing new...
But anyway I just wanted to let you guys know how 2017 has been for me so far, since a few exciting things have happened already, AND let you all know what my 'resolutions' are.
Thanks, as always, to @rambo and @missy for these topics!
I usually don't really make any New Year's resolutions, because honestly I feel like if you really want to do something you'll start whenever you decide you want to do it.
I just set myself goals for the year, some big and some small.
Last year, New Year's Day was my first day as a vegan.
(I know right, always gotta find a way to bring it up. Fucking vegans amirite?!)
This year I decided to expand on that and for this year I want to start eating healthier.
I'm a huge convenience food kinda gal, especially since starting to work full time again, which obviously isn't the greatest health-wise. So eating more whole foods and less pre-made stuff is a priority.
This year I also want to get my license, since I'm 22 and still catch public transport everywhere.
Like a LOSER.
I want to learn to love myself for who I am, and not try and please everyone.
I want to save money! Not sure what for yet but it'd be nice to not have to scrounge all the time. I'm bad at saving, definitely have an online shopping addiction that I need to learn to stifle!
SG-wise I want to use the site more.
I'm a HUGE slacker with this, which is so bad. There's so many lovely hopeful and SG girls in Australia that I want to support, and I've been useless at it so this year, I'll try and jump on for a bit every night, replying to comments and supporting others.
I also want to (hopefully) get one of my sets to 2000 likes. I feel like interacting on the site more will help with that, but I hope you all know that I genuinely appreciate the support I get. There's a few of you who always comment on my photos and blogs, and I cannot thank you all enough for supporting me on this journey.
All of my sets this year have gotten to 1000 likes which is incredible, I honestly am just overwhelmed.
When my first set Ante Meridiem came out I was SO scared that it would get about 30 hearts and I'd know I suck at this. So for it to hit the 1k mark.. wow.
The difference between my first set and my most recently shot (keep reading for sneak peeks!) is monumental.
I feel like I've only gotten better and better at 'modeling', and I'm so glad you guys have been here from the start, to see how far I've come.

SO
2017 has been pretty damn good to me so far!
And I'm going to walk you through it all, give you a little peek into my real life.
Christmas (I know it wasn't in 2017 but it's been a while) was really good; I went to my Dad's house in country Victoria on the day before Chrismas Eve, caught the train up after work, and spent the time catching up with my Dad and Step Mum. I was honestly a little worried about spending Christmas with my Dad's side of the family, because we have a lot of differing opinions and I'm kind of the black sheep of the family, but it was really really nice.
Set up a flying fox over my dad's dam and cooled off from the 40 degree heat (104F).
We had Christmas Eve dinner, because my cousins all needed to leave to go and see the rest of their family/girlfriend's families, and I was stoked that my very meat-loving dad and step mum made a HUGE effort in making sure I had enough to eat.
And BOY did I eat.
(Also got a call a week or so later saying that after I'd left my dad's house, everyone was saying how this was the happiest they've seen me in a long time, so that was really nice.)
Then traveled down to my Aunt's house on Christmas Day to spend the day with them and my mum, ate too much again and had a really rad time.
Got some sweet presents too; a very old poetry book, a cool R2D2 apron that my mum made, a cookbook and more!
Then, because my work are party poopers, straight back to it on the Wednesday after Christmas!
I went to a great New Year's Eve party at one of my friend's houses.
These are friends I've had since high school and it was really good seeing them all. We try to keep in contact and hang out when we can, but we're all adults with our own lives now so the times where we can all get together and have a good time are really rare and valued.
We played drinking games and I did my first ever beer bong (not with beer though cause gross) and SMASHED IT.
Guys I was so proud .
Dominated at beer pong as well (also not with beer) and ended up drinking the King's Cup just because.
Had some really good chats with my friends about World of Warcraft, and just had a good old time.
(lol you probably thought I was pretty)
Managed to get an uber home at about 3am which was so incredibly lucky since there are usually none in my area. I was stoked. The guy was super nice, asked me if I'd been to China and was honestly so sweet. 5 stars.
Spent January 1st with a hangover.
Woke up at about 10am, lay on the couch for about 5 minutes then went back to bed for another 2 hours.
Woke up properly, had a shower and spent my New Year's Day playing WoW and eating vegan nuggets, which wasn't the BEST start to my goal of being healthy but hungover people need to eat junk okay?!
I've been to the movies twice(?) this year, which is a pretty decent effort I think, both with this great new guy I've been talking to.
Saw "Arrival", which was super fucking weird but I liked it, and "Passengers" which I LOVED so much. Had a teary in it.
Other than that I've basically just been working super hard for the past 2 weeks, buying stuff I don't need and not cleaning my room.
You know, the usual.
Last weekend however, I went adventuring with @atlanticlungs to a house, where we stayed with @hylia and @mariajupiter !
Saw a multi being shot, for the first time ever, and managed to get this sneaky BTS pic:
Goddamn was it a good set.
Also had to blind both of the girls with a reflector and felt super bad the whole time.
(I'm seriously so sorry)
Then shot THREE sets that day, one with Hylia:
And the other two with @atlanticlungs :
Sweet Jesus my back was sore after all of that booty popping.
I'm so stoked with how all of the sets turned out, one was submitted last night so hopefully that gets accepted into the queue for all of you guys to see soon!
But yeah it was a really good weekend!
How have all of you been? Did you do anything exciting over Christmas and New Years? Any cool gifts or good news?
Tell me all about it in the comments!
This has been such a long blog, you're an absolute legend if you read until the end!
Hope you've all liked this little glimpse into my life, if you enjoyed it I'll try to do more, maybe a monthly catch up on all the stuff that's been happening.
We can chat about life!
Thank you guys so much!

(Tiddies to finish 🖤)
