The BEST restaurant!!

Hey everyone! Two posts in a day.....you guys are lucky! The other post is a  Work It Series post if you want to check that out. Haha, a Work It post and now a Restaurant post. Typical.
The picture on the left is a picture of a restaurant in Japan called Oz. It's an Italian restaurant selling pizzas,spaghetti, and all kinds of good food.
I thought the look of the restaurant was so beautiful. When you entered the area, you can smell the burning smoke from the pizza ovens, the location ( which was a forest ) was so mystical. The whole look of the area was so......amazing?
Let's not forget the food, OMG the food is soooo good. I love Italian, it's one of my fave kinda food to eat. It's soo relaxing inside, I love how it's usually not too busy, there's usually about 1 or 2 people in there. It's pretty small, if you wanted to know.
Have you been to a place you love?

Work It: Hoola Hooping and Pretzels

Hey everyone! Hoola Hooping may be fun, but did you know it is one of the best exercises too? Hoola hooping improves the muscles around your stomach and waist, also removing excess fat. I actually do Hoola hooping every single day, well, whenever I can fit a 2 minute non-stop hoola hooping challenge! The good thing is, you won't get tired and get sweaty, besides for aching in the below rib area but it will dissapear if you make Hoola Hooping your daily routine.

Did you know you can replace your Potato Chip diet with pretzels???? Baked and unsalted pretzels are a better choice of snack to be munching on. It won't do you any magic thing that makes you healthier, but it is a better choice. It's just basically flour and water.

Another thing is to remember is too EAT BREAKFAST! It might sound like common sense but breakfast improves your metabolism and stops you from eating too much junk food throughout the day and excessive overeating. Some dieters skip breakfast each day..as they think it will help them lose weight. Unfortunately, that's wrong.

I hope this post was helpful!  I am in no way dieting or trying to lose weight, I'm keeping myself fit and healthy for netball,karate and rugby. Yes! I do play those sports!

Hey everyone! If you can't already tell, I'm a Lush Lover!
Today I went to Lush with my friend since it was her birthday and I was super excited to go since I don't go very often which is a shame. But anyway, I'm super excited to show you what I bought:

I bought the Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar,Dream Cream hand and body lotion and the Lush girl gave me these candies!

Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar $5.90

How cuh-ute is this?It has the scent of Strawberries and Cream! This Mushroom has Bergamot oil,Geranium Oil,Vanilla Absolute,Jasmine absolute and Tonka absolute. Did you know, the white parts of the bubble bar are vanilla scented and the red part is strawberry scented!

Dream Cream Body Lotion $37.90

This looks so yummy. I've used and wasted quite a bit already and in love with it. It's very moisturizing, it smells really good and it's calmed my skin down. I actually have mild eczema on my legs and arms, so this is a really good product. This has Oat Milk,Rose absolute, Cocoa Butter and a lot of other skin calming goodies.

It's definitley a moneys worth product.

Random Rambles: Gingerbread House,Work it Series

To be honest...I actually have not used this yet. I just can't!

This is the Gingerbread House Bubble Bar from LUSH, and it's a bubble bar in the shape of a Gingerbread house ( well duh Courtney, of course it is!  ), and it smells like Gingerbread! It has a spicy,Gingerbread-y scent and a pinch of sweetness. This smells amazing!

You can get this at Christmas Time, its a limited edition product. Good for all dieters!

Since I'm going swimming tomorrow, I reminded my self to do a kind of a workout post. I thought it was gonna be a bit short so I decided that I include it in here. Here is my schedule for staying in shape and

healthy:

• Breakfast: Plain Non-Sweetened Yogurt with runny honey with cut up fruit.
• Lunch: Usually Sushi or a Vege Sandwich
• Dinner: i can't really choose cause I live with my parents but it's usually something good for you. 
• Exercise: Hoola Hooping, Walking,Netball or Touch Rugby.

Ill probably have to make a new post for the Work It Series. I gotta go now

Snowman Cupcakes!

Hey everyone!
Summer can be soooo overbearingly hot, i just wish Winter was right around the corner! I needed something sweet to eat, I have been eating helthily for the past month and 3 weeks.
We can have something,sometime so I decided to whip up some of these babies!! LOL
They are so adorable. Their coconut " snow" and the chocolate chip eyes and a gummy bear nose which I actually cut up. Should I tell you to make them? Yeah, I should.
All you will need to do is bake a few cupcakes,

preferably white normal cupcakes. Here are some of the ingredients and items you will need for the decorating"

• Shaved Coconut
• Butter
• Icing Sugar
• Chocolate Chips
• Any orange candy big enough to cut into slivers
• Bowl
• Spoon
• Butter Knife

You will need to whip up frosting with the butter and icing. Since I baked about 12 cupcakes I would reccomend using 3/4 of the butter bar.
Add in the icing and there should be more icing than butter.
Take your butter knife and spread the butter icing all over the top of the cupcakes.
Get a bowl and put the coconut shavings as the "snow". Dip your frosted cupcake into the coconut to make it look frosty. Add the choco chips for the eyes, cut up the candy for the nose.


So there is how to make the Snowman Cupcakes! This snowman cupcake inspiration come from Sparklyblonde1 and she she is on Youtube and she has done a video on making these.

Welcome & Mini Haul

Hey everyone! Welcome to the all new fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog! I'm Courtney, just like you, a fashion and beauty lover! I love shopping and anything girly, and i love sports! If you want to know a bit more about me,  there is an " about me" page!
I couldn't just say a hi, so I decided to add a mini haul to go along with the post. The first place I went to was Farmers and bought a 3 tier cupcake stand for my Lush Goodies:

How adorable does my Lush Goodies look in this thing? This was $40.00 but since it was the Waitangi Weekend ( I live in NZ ) they were having a half off sale so I got this for only $20.00. Yay!Oh and comment if you would like to see a Lush Collection Post!

I then went to Cotton On and the girl there was so nice! I only managed to buy one thing and it is these super cute shorts:

These shorts were on for sale for $10.00 and to me this was a must have! I went up to the counter and the really nice cashier lowered it down to $5.00! Sweet! Then...she gave me this super enormous bag ( it doesn't look enormous in the pic but it was HUGE:

I was basically knocking down everything that was in my sight! The cashier said this was the only bag available..so..yeah. I also ended up going to Factorie and I purchased Over The Knee Socks ( in the picture it looks really..really..weird)

OMG, this picture makes me laugh SO HARD!! But I love them a lot and wearing them tomorrow.I am so excited to create more blog posts! Have you got any comments or statements to make? Comment on this post! Ill talk to you guys later,

Courtney
