Things I'm Loving...

By PaisleyJade - Friday, August 05, 2011


I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something that you can be thankful for... no matter how simple it is.  

Here are a few of the things I am loving at the moment...

Loving my super flash new hair straightener - secretly bought online by my hubby for a super good deal!!  I'm actually starting to wonder if my old one died after all the strange things I used to use it for (see here).


Loving my new crochet hook - it's even my favourite colour!!


Loving free glasses for hubby thanks to Clearly Contacts NZ - they gave away 10,000 free pairs of glasses within 2 days!  Please note: this is the 'forced to pose for blogging wife' look.  Very similar to this one actually.


Cracking up when going on Doggelganger (the kids forced me to... honest!) that I was matched up with a Staffy!  Looks like me and Boo really are a good match.


Loving the fact that messes aren't permanent and can be cleaned up.  I'd like to introduce you to the exploding packet of cocoa and the exploding bedroom...



Loving wafer sticks!  Totally love these crunchy wafer treats... they are dangerously delicious.

  1. Love your loving! Wafer sticks are sooo good! And I can totally relate to the bedroom explosion! And lucky you for getting new straightners! I bought some GHDs, I wish I could say I use them as often as I intended too! They're amazing though! :)

  9. What a great post Kirsty!! Haha, Simon, the long suffering bloggers husband. Poor him.

    I'm in serious nesting mode for our due baby, if that coca had exploded in my kitchen (which it has this week) I would have cried (which I did).

  10. Those wafer sticks frequent our house at christmas as an 'extra' gift under the tree ... they never last very long - and that's not because they get given to a surprise visitor!!!

    That exploding room happens here too - I wonder what the cure is?!

  11. Yes, i know those exploding rooms! And i experienced the dying hair dryer this year - my first reaction was annoyance with the company for making such junk, but then I realised it was nearly 17 years old! I have a lovely new one now and am imposing high expectations! Yay free glasses!

  33. Aaah that's the secret to your so pretty hair! And reading about all the great ways to use a hair straightener, I might get one myself...

    If the boyfriend complains about the purchase, I will tell him about the hundreds of ways you can use it.

    Maybe straightening out the cuffs of his shirts? :P

    Love your post Kristy ;) they always brighten up my day! X!
