Goodbye Poland... I'll miss you!!

As excited as I am to go to Switzerland, I am also really sad to be leaving poland. The homesickness which I felt when I first arrived is long gone, and now I really feel at home here.

I leave to go to Switzerland tomorrow afternoon. I am catching a bus which will be going through Czech, Germany & France, and arriving in Geneva midday sunday. So a pretty long journey but without doubt it will be the most interesting and beautiful bus ride I've ever had!

I will be living with a family who have a 4 year old daughter. Basically my job will be spending the day with the little girl while her parents are at work. I have been told by her mother that she loves the water, and that she will be dragging me there everyday. Sounds like a pretty good job to me!

The town where they live is bordering onto France, so I will be experiencing a lot of the french culture as well as the swiss. In fact, the main language they speak in that town is french.

Words cannot describe how excited I am!

As most of my friends know, I have not had a mobile phone for 7 MONTHS!!! Yes, how on earth did I survive without a phone? Thats the question I got many times. But I did survive, so it can be done!

Well today I finally bought myself a phone. Its a pink samsung. Its prettyyyy! Pink camera, pink ipod.. now a pink phone!

My last day in poland was spent with my grandparents. We had a really nice bbq. Spring in europe is just so beautiful I cannot describe it, and photos really don't do it justice.

Let me know what you think.. do you prefer this over the spring back in australia?

Exciting News!

What a very exciting day I had today!

First of all, my ASOS order arrived, and I absolutely LOVE everything that I bought. The swimsuit which I posted in a few posts below is just gorgeous, so much prettier in real life and I cannot wait to wear it!

Diamondsinchampagne, you asked about the lace dress, well it fits perfectly and it is very flattering. I love it! You should buy it too :)

Secondly, I can proudly say that I got a job today! And not just any job. I got a job working as an au pair in Switzerland. For those who don't know, an au pair is someone who is hired by a family to look after their children and help out around the house. So kind of like a nanny, but without any qualifications. Au pairs also live with the family, eat with them, and travel with them. Basically, they are treated as part of the family.

I cannot describe how excited I am, this will be such an experience and I cannot wait to see beautiful Switzerland!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter everyone! Hope you all had a lovely one just like I did.

I spent my easter with family, absolutely stuffing ourselves with good food! I seriously have to starve myself for a week after this weekends efforts!

I baked a cake, here's a pic;

Bottom was a chocolate sponge, then a layer of sugared coconut, next grated apple, then a vanilla sponge, and on top of that an icing made out of melted halva which I love. It was really yummy :) and apart from this cake we made 6 other cakes for easter! So you can imagine how much I've been eating.

Over the easter weekend I had my 2 gorgeous cousins over. The youngest, Gabriella, who is 3, is so cute, and all she wanted to do all weekend was play princess's with me.

Here are a few things I bought from ASOS.com over the weekend. The swimsuit will be motivation for me to get into shape!

I will most likely go back to job hunting this week. Like I said to a friend earlier, I wish the job would just come find me...

Goodbye long hair!

Yes, that's right, my hair is now short. Very short.

Today I took out my extensions. I really didn't want to, but I had just had enough of them. They became so knotted and when I brushed them after I washed my hair I would literally be pulling out huge chunks of hair! And not only then, but bits of hair would be constantly falling out everywhere and I just had enough.

I loved having longer hair and now I feel so bald :(

I know that as soon as I get a job I will be running to find a hair extensions place around here. Or maybe I should keep my hair short, but go blonde? After all, that is my natural colour.

What do you think?

For months now I have been loving the spring/summer 09 Balmain collection. In particular, I am in love with the jacket below, but really, at a $16,500 price tag, who could afford that?! But I love it SO much, I have been looking for a cheap copy but no luck.

Do you know where I could find a copy? I would love you forever.
