This week has been such an amazing one, filled with new years celebrations, drinks and romance. Alex and I took a trip down the coast and stayed at Conrad Jupiters, which was a treat and a half. One of the only bad things about this week has been the massive heat wave that has hit us, yesterday it reached 41 degrees Celsius which is roughly 105 Farenheit!!!!! We were literally melting, thank god my house has air con, but it has definitely made it hard for me to go for runs since my window is either extremely early in the morning or in the small window of evening where I've still got a little energy left. Now onto my favourties, I'm trying to keep them to 4 each week so that they really are the standouts of each week.
1. Conrads Trip - On Thursday Alex and I drove down the coast and although it was overcast it didn't put a holt in the heat. I rarely get to go down the coast so we were making the most of it and went to putt putt, which i got completely smashed by Alex, it was hilarious how bad i was, I did however get 3 holes in one on the second course. After putt putt the sun really got to us and so did our stomachs. Since I hadn't each much for brekkie and he had we had to find somewhere where I could eat heaps and he could get a little bit of food. Luckily on our travels we stumbled upon a sushi train, and it was just sublime. Further down the road we reached Conrads and took refuge from the heat in the casino before we could check in and for the first time I played Pokies hehe. By check in time we were pooped and dying for a swim. Due to our dorkiness we couldn't figure out the lifts and got stuck on them for 15 mins and when we finally got to our room, we'd been given two doubles instead of a king which was annoying, but we were too tired to change, so off to the pool/spa we went. Later that night we went to dinner and had the best burgers ever, followed by Zircus, which was a circus show that was on. We were 4 rows from the front and it was absolutely spectacular. All in all it was a perfect trip :)
2. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush - I wanted to mention this last week but I'd only used it once and thought I'd give it a few more uses and HOLY MOTHER OF GLOB it's the most heavenly brush. I've never gotten such a flawless finish, it buffs everything flawlessly into the skin and the bristles are super soft and durable. Can't wait to try more Real Techniques brushes throughout this year.
3. LUSH Ponche Shower Gel - When I got this in the Christmas Gift set from Boxing Day sales I didn't think I would like it very much, but I've used it nearly everyday since I've got it and it's absolutely fabulous. The scent is so amazing, the citrus isn't two powerful but still has that kick that I can definitely says wakes you up. It's such a shame this is limited to Christmas, will have to pick up a big bottle next year.
4. University of Washington's Stereotypes - Defying Gravity - One of my friends sent me this the other day and I haven't stopped listening to it, I mean it's still on repeat as I write this post.
What have you been loving this week? I'd love to know

My husband brought me a bottle of the Ponche shower gel for Christmas - had a good sniff of it but haven't had chance to try it out. Smells delicious though!
