This week I started training for my 3rd game for my part-time croupier job here in Sydney. It's an 8 day training course and we have to do daily tests and assessments and study at home and practice at any given chance to perfect the dealing technique. As a result I really am not feeling my prettiest or the most excited in my life. In fact I'm stressed, frustrated and pre-occupied.
Study and training does not make me feel attractive (and its a skill I mentally locked away when I finished my Fashion Design course more than 5 years ago).  So come the weekend I hope I can finally dress the way I want to dress and feel fricking sexy again.

I can safely say that being a croupier is just what I do but it's not who or what I am. But, at the same time I don't want to fail at getting my third game. So I'm planning to sacrifice these next 8 days - my sleep, my groomed hair, my TV, gaming and reading, my precise make-up and good food for that extra game. I will not enjoy the journey but I will certainly enjoy the destination.

And at that destination I plan to be wild and free again, partying it up and being cheeky and full of glee once again. Hell Yeah, drinks all round. I'm so craving that different kind of buzz.. the kind that is sexy and brimming with a quiet confidence.
That's how I felt just days earlier when I wore the perfect sex-kitten combination - sleek Royal Aquamarine sunglasses, Zoie's Paint It Red Shorts and Meche Jewellery. And all in striking black.
Yes, I will be craving that destination at the end of my 8 days and I will definitely dig up this outfit just to chase that itching buzz again.

A Glimpse into my Life: My Bedroom Details

I now just love, love, love staying at home in my room. Just last week I stayed at home every day (six days to be exact), only leaving the house twice to meet up for coffee. It was absolute 'Good Girl' heaven.
Normally I venture out into the cold night to meet friends and party hard, but now I realise the potential of a warm well decorated room.
All I did was watch bad TV, blog from home, browse cook books, drink tea, listen to music, bake at home, play my 3DS and read chapters and chapters of books. It was an absolute delight to heat up my hot water bottle and hug it like it was my baby. Hmm, warm winter nights.

I find I'm a collector, so my room is filled with photos, books, DVDs, makeup and jewellery and I display them so openly. I decided to share my room, my decor, pleasures and comforts to my readers so you can get a glimpse on the sort of person I am (and only the special people in my life get to see my room).
When I first moved here 6 months ago, I tried really hard to leave my old habits, and store everything away for a more neater 'minimalist' look. But as the months rolled on, I eventually started having everything on display, because I found I needed to constantly be reminded of my good life: the good people, the great arts, and the sweetest memories.
