Hi lovelies

Okay, maybe that post title is a little weird but I was watching an old episode of Supernatural last night and Dean kept going on about Purple Nurples and when I painted my nails like this, it made me think of him and his alcohol. :) Oh Dean, why are you so beautiful...

Pink Bubbly

Hello my dearest lovelies,

So, I went shopping on the weekend and I sternly said to myself ‘Lissa, you are going to get your friend’s birthday present and that is all. You are not going to browse. You have a mission. And you are not going to get distracted in the cosmetics and nail areas.’

It didn’t work.

Best Pancakes Ever

I was talking to my friend the other day and I found out that she had never had pancakes made from scratch. Never ever… How is that even possible?! Pancakes are pretty much the food of my childhood. I have so many memories of my uncle standing in my kitchen making pancakes for us, getting half the batter all over the floor and bench top and me and my sisters wolfing them down at a much faster rate than he could produce them. I remember him teaching me how to flip pancakes properly – no spatula required. I remember making pancakes for family friends and one of them running around the dining table with a pancake on his head. I remember having competitions with my sisters over who could eat the most. I remember the first time I tasted a pancake with real maple syrup, not the maple-flavoured stuff. I also know that is just me, not everyone knows people that would wear a pancake as a hat but the point remains – everyone should make pancakes from scratch as least once. They are the easiest things to make, I promise. This recipe is for the novice of all novices – I have not assumed you know anything. Leggy – this recipe goes to you. :)

Hi lovelies

How are you? I’ve had better weeks – one of my teachers, a really wonderful, bubbly woman – unfortunately passed away on the weekend. She was an incredible woman and so passionate about her work. She will be remembered fondly and her presence will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to her husband, young daughters and sister, who will be struggling through this terrible time.

But, her death has inspired me with a new desire for life and has reminded me how fleeting life can be. I am determined to live my life to the fullest and for the total amount of time I have been given on this planet – even though I sometimes I just want to give it all up.

Dear Society Part 3

Hi everyone,

Okay, I swear this one is the last one. I fully intended this to be just one post, but it sort of spread out and out and out and suddenly, it was three! If you missed Part One and Two and you would like to read them, you can find them here and here. Oh, and remember, I’m not an expert in the field of eating disorders, nor do I claim any scientific backing behind my words. These are my words and my feelings on my personal experience.
