It’s official . . . . .I’m now competing in Ms Figure – Open Division this year for the 2006 INBA Victorian Titles. To be eligible to qualify for this years 2006 INBA Natural Olympia I have to compete against the best of the best, it’s a big step but one worth taking and I’m up for the challenge as always. LOL!! I have nothing to lose and everything to gain by this experience and what doesn’t kill me will only make me stronger.

Phew what a weekend! I’m sure there’s a weekend thief out there because as soon as they arrive they’re gone. LOL!!
Brunetti’s Cafe is to die for! It’s a definite must visit during the off-season and one I look forward to. Alicia, Lindy and myself had the lovliest time and we chatted away as if we were the oldest of friends. Of course I wasn’t able to indulge in their delicacies so as soon as I arrived I pulled out my chicken salad and a bottle of water because we all know a girls got to eat. LOL!! I did however order myself a long black. It’s funny, I never used to be a coffee drinker. I loved the smell of it, I loved making it just couldn’t drink it. It was to bitter for me and without copious amounts of sugar I just couldn’t bring myself to drink it. But you all know me and nothing’s impossible as far as I am concerned. Once we had our espresso machine and our coffee grinder the search began for a coffee that I could drink. At our local markets we asked the staff at the coffee shop what was the least bitter coffee that I could try and so they introduced me to Etheopian Mocha. There was no bitterness instead it had a smooth taste to it that I quite enjoyed in my cafe latte. Once I got used to it I enjoyed and looked forward to my daily cafe latte. Of course I experimented with all different types of beans and have come across some really lovely flavour’s during the process. Over time I’ve managed to cut back on my milk and replace it with water so that I could elimanate all dairy from my daily nutrition. And now I can quite happily enjoy a long black. If you truly desire to have something in your nutrition plan you can re-educate your taste buds, it’s just takes time and patience. Rae posted about her sugar addiction and it got me thinking that the only thing I have in my diet that isn’t a whole food is my splenda which I really could do without being that it is highly processed. So Rae, you have prompted me to follow suit and slowly but surely I’m cutting back. Well anyway, I got a little bit of track there so getting back to my original story. LOL!! Katie unfortunately couldn’t make it although we totally understand her incredibly busy work schedule.
I’m going to have to cut this short as it’s time for another meal and I’m positively starving. I’ll be catching up on some more blogs this afternoon and hopefully by the end of the week I’ll be all caught up again. I hope you all have a lovely day and most importantly don’t forget to smile. )
Deb here’s the product information copied and pasted straight from their website. “A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin.

MAC Face & Body Foundation – N9 is the darkest shade available and matched perfectly as you can see in the above picture of me at the 2005 INBA Australian Titles. It’s been applied from my neck up both front and back and including my ears. Unfortunately though, you can only purchse it from their MAC Pro Stores. But luckily for me there’s one over in Chapel Street. ;o) If you decide to go with this option just let me know and I’ll pick a bottle up for you next time I’m over that way which you know is quite often. LOL!! Well actually it’s next weekend to be exact. LOL!! I hope this helps. ) xo
Well the weekend’s almost here and it’s another busy one for me. Lucky I’m organised and have time management on my side. First up this afternoon I’m off to my local salon for waxing, I’ve booked in for full leg and a full arm, long overdue let me assure you. LOL!! My beautician certainly has her work cut out for her and here’s hoping that she’s kind to me. ;o)
Then tomorrow morning I have the distinct pleasure of meeting the girls for coffee. It’ll be nice to sit back and relax over a black cup of coffee. )
From there I’m going shopping at Myer. MAC Cosmetics is #1 on my list followed by Anthea Crawford as a close second. A girl can never have to much makeup, especially when she’s a figure competitor. LOL!! I’ll be getting a whole bunch of products for this years season, I’ve been researching on their website but have yet to make my mind up. So many gorgeous colours to select from I just know I’m going to have trouble selecting which ones. Like I needed an excuse to go shopping, we all know how much I enjoy my retail therapy. LOL!! Anthea Crawford is my favourite designer at the moment and I’m going to pick something up for a wedding Sunday. Her designs are stunning to say the least and I’ve already tried on the top I’m after.
Then Sunday I have a girlfriend’s wedding to attend and I can’t wait to see her. It’s been sooooo long, last time being in Brisbane 2003 if I remember correctly. And not only is she getting married but she is also pregnant. So I guess you could say that we have a lot of catching up to do. LOL!!
Well that just about covers everything for today. I have an inspection to conduct before I finish work as one of our bosses has given us an early knock off. *woo hoo*
Have a great weekend! ) xo
That’s right, I’m back. LOL!! Unfortunately for me my hectic schedule was only meant to last for a week instead it rolled over into a second week. Not to worry though, everything’s back to normal wef today. *woo hoo* Just a lot of catching up to do at home but that shouldn’t take too long once I recharge the batteries and get motivated. LOL!!
So much has happened of late it would take forever and a day to get you caught up on it, so if you all don’t mind I’ll just pick up starting today. Not to mention it’s going to take me a little while to read up and comment on all your blogs but rest assured that it will get done sooner rather then later.
Time’s got away from me again. It’s time for me to head over to the gym for quads and calves. Then it’s posing practice with heels of course followed by multiple run thoughs of my posing routine.
Sorry for the short but brief blog today, but something’s better then nothing I always say. I’ll blog more tomorrow, I promise. Enjoy the rest of your day! )
