GROOVIN IN THE MOO: Photo's here!

I was lucky enough to have a media pass to Groovin in the Moo in Bendigo last weekend. It was incredible..photographers got to to up close in front of the stage to take photos for the first three songs! Great experience.

RANDOM QUESTION: Do you want to be a Cheeky Tiger or Do you want to be a Cheeky Cat?

Do you want to be a CHEEKY TIGER or Do you want to be a CHEEKY CAT?

There is no particular reason for this question..it just popped into you.

Answer how you like and please tell me your definition or reason for choosing it. We all have a bit of fun inside us.

Below are some images to amuse and inspire.

(And why when I google 'Cheeky Tiger' do multiple photos of Tiger Woods come up and none of actual tigers?)

DO YOU NEED INSPIRATION? Watch this clip from Rocky 4

Just quietly, I am not a fan of the Rocky films. I don't dislike them but have never had a great deal of interest or excitement in them. But I do aknowledge that this clip is marvelous. If you are looking for a boost, you've found it here. This clip embodies the essence of moving on and overlooking all the horrible things that one thinks and has happens to them on the way - not to get dragged into that dark hole of lack of self belief. It reminds you to listen to your self as well as being strong minded. 

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ANDROID USERS OF THE WORLD

Dear Android Users,

I know you have fabulous, amazing, fun and exciting phones - personally, I admire you everyday as I long to have an iphone, blackberry, samsung galaxy...you know the gang.

However, you are very rude with your phones. You bury your knows in them just expecting that it is acceptable to sit there and look things up on them. I understand they are overly addictive but you need to remember that if you didn't have your phone and you were looking at someone exhibiting your behaviour, you would find it annoying, rude and unacceptable.

So next time you put your hand in your pocket to rip out your stylish phone and check something pointless..stop for a minute and don't not take it out. Instead engage in the art of conversation. Give the people around you the respect and time they deserve. I am sure you will be better for it.

Kind regards,

Sarah Lawrence

In the spotlight again: MR NICK BRACKS - VOTE VOTE VOTE!

Blog followers will know, my most popular blogs have been about Nick Bracks. So in honour of the great, young, entrepeneurial, energetic man, I would like to announce my number one vote in Cleo Bachelor 2011  will be him.
I admire him. He has theoretically failed and been in the spot light a few times for car crashes and drunken behaviour. But hey! He has a lot of spunk and up & go about him as he is one of Melbourne's most in demand socialites, has a terrific business brain, charm, confidence and charisma to move on and make a success of himself. The gorgeous young man will also be on Dancing With The Stars soon - he will no doubt become even more popular but I think that is great - he has worked hard, had his ups and downs thus he deserves the attention and fun. He must have an extremely good social skills and charm - I'm sure much of it is natural talents and on Nicks own accord but growing up in a political household must have allowed him to develop a trick or two. You can just tell by looking at him he is going to go far! Good on you Nick - Hope you win both the Cleo Bachelor* and Dancing with The Stars.

To vote for him go here http://www.cleo.com.au/bachelor2011-profile-nick-bracks.htm

*And just for record, Nick is actually a Bachelor. Unlike some of the others in the competition who I know have girlfriends. So Nick is a genuine vote for the win.

This looks Amazing!: PAPER GIANTS

I get filled with excitement and inspiration when I see the trailer for this new show paper giants about the birth of Cleo magazine. It looks phenomenal.

CELEBRITIES I AM THINKING ARE FABULOUS RIGHT NOW

SWIM SWIM SWIM

Went for a swim today. Was in one of these restless I don't know what do with myself moods at about 7pm because I had had an early dinner. Swimming balances the moods sometimes I think. It is calming and puts you in a restful place. The negative ions in the water are supposed to bring you a sense of peacefulness as I was once told by a naturopath who said surfers get grumpy when they don't get out in the water for a few days. In my first year of university I was a swim teacher, it was fully being back in the water and trying to focus on some of the techniques I used to teach on myself. I think I would be a much better swim teacher today if I had to go back to it.

QUIETLY IMPRESSED: Make Up Forever Ad

This ad is one of the first to not photoshop heavily for a make up ad. I'm impressed. The make up ads have often done my head in and made me feel inferior as my brain has been tricked into thinking all skin is perfect like the ones in the ad. So thank you Make Up Forever - hope your sales sky rocket!
