30 Day Blog Challenge: My Favourite Drink

On my quest to stay slim I have cut down my intake of sugary drinks and try to stick with water when possible however for a treat or during a night out, these are my drinks of choice:

Glaceau Vitamin Water in Triple X

A light flavour (similar to cordial) of Blueberries, Acai Berries and Pomegranate

Vodka Lemon, Lime and Bitters

A yummy infusion of bitter, sweet and sour - I love this drink purchased from bars as I’m yet to find a store brought pre mix that tastes nice.

30 Day Blog Challenge: My Favourite Skincare Product

One of the biggest misconceptions about eye creams is that they are only for people with wrinkles or at that stage in life where they are trying to prevent wrinkles. 

Although one of the amazing benefits of an eye cream is to minimise or reduce early signs of ageing such as wrinkles they also work a treat on reducing puffiness, under eye bags and dark circles.

I’m currently using samples of Clinique‘s All About Eyes Serum Roll on and Channel’s Beaute Initiale Eye (alternating between days).

The clinique roll on contains caffeine which assists in reducing under eye puffiness and the Channel gel is infused with vitamins and minerals (even a Yeast extract) that protects against premature ageing and fights puffiness and dark circles.

To apply an eye cream, lightly pat a small amount of cream or serum into the under eye area and lightly work it around into the lid. It is recommended by various beauty gurus to use your ring finger as it’s the weakest finger and avoids any harsh tugging or pulling on your delicate skin surrounding the eyes. 

As mentioned above, I’m currently using eye cream samples and once they are finished I’m really interested in trying the new (well, new to Australia anyway) Yes to Blueberries “Age Refresh” Eye Firming Treatment which claims to be “Made up of blueberries, paracress flower, beeswax and olive fruit oil, the Eye Firming Treatment’s paracress flower has also clinically been proven to help restore and smooth skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 28 days”.

The Yes To range is available in David Jones and retails from $34.95 (AUD).  Do you use an eye cream? If yes, what’s your favourite eye cream product?

30 Day Blog Challenge: An Item from my Wish List

My boyfriend and I are currently house hunting and one thing I’m really looking forward to beside the new found freedom its decorating a house of my very own.

Depending on the house layout and space, I’m still undecided whether to have a makeup room (using one of the spare bedrooms) or take ownership of the bathroom vanity.

Either way, I want display all my cosmetics easily and have them accessible and organized using a storage system that is great to look at – which brings me to an item from my wish list…

An Acrylic Makeup Draw

As seen on the bathroom vanities of the Kardashian sisters, this set of draws is a makeup organization lover’s paradise.

I love the clear design which makes it easier for you to find what you are looking for – I’m forever digging through my collection looking for that one lipstick or gloss, and as its clear it prompts you to keep your make up collection neatly organized at all times.

The above shown makeup draws can be purchased online from The Makeup Box Shop and prices start from $109(AUD) including local delivery.

30 Day Blog Challenge: My Favourite Food

Sydney is a culinary playground with so many amazing restaurants and flavours to tantalize anyone’s taste buds. I have recently become an unofficial foodie and while there is too many of my favourite foods to name I thought I’d slightly change this post around and do a mini review on my current favourite restaurant.

Criniti’s Ristorante

Criniti’s is serving up authentic southern Italian home style cooking with a modern flair and they do an amazing wood fire metre pizza. All ingredients are fresh and incredibly tasty with generous meal sizes and are served within reasonable time.

Criniti’s is very popular and can get quite busy on Friday and Saturday nights however; staff are always attentive and enthusiastic. The restaurant can be noisy but always has a great atmosphere and is themed to suite the modern Italian.   

The past few times I have been to Criniti’s it has been with a group to celebrate a birthday (in fact, I’m going there on Saturday night for my friends 25 Birthday celebrations) we have always left satisfied and their various priced set menus  do not disappoint as you are provided with a variety of delicious options.  

You can find Criniti's in Darling Harbour, Sydney (as featured in this post) or Church Street, Parramatta.

Sydney-siders have you been to Criniti's?
