...Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder...

Miranda Kerr swears by Yoga! For Jessica Alba; it’s 3 litres of water a day… But my beauty secret; is my dogs!

Just one look at my huskies’ eager brown eyes is enough motivation for me to lace up those joggers, fill up the water bottle and head to the park for a jog. Even with a gruelling work day stretched out before me… and rain clouds swooping in around the city, I drag myself out of bed and hit the pavement for a solid 5k’s.

As childish as it may sound… looking down at their confident, easy strides; pushes me into jogging harder, faster and longer that I enjoy. I’ve always been a competitive person and just once I would like for my dogs to slow down before I do!

As it is, when we pull ourselves up the driveway, home sweet home… my legs feel like jelly and I collapse into the shower. But those furry balls of drool and energy run into the backyard for a few victory laps.

What would I do without them keeping me fit?!

...Walk a Mile in Their Shoes...

If I didn’t love shoes so much, I would be one of those barefoot hippies all the time. Nothing compares to the feel of freshly cut grass tickling at your toes. Nothing… except maybe a pair of smooth, satin straps, winding up from a plush leather sole and wrapping around my ankles… shining bright under disco lights.

…Wedges…
…Platforms…
…Pumps…
…Stilettos…

Where would we be without high heels?! 4 inches closer to the ground, that’s where!

Did I mention that I’m a tad short?

...Living the ParkLife...

Being one of the shorter girls moshed into a Music Festival dance floor is usually not a good thing. There’s a lot of jumping around or climbing onto big, strong shoulders so I can get a chance to see the stage… Neither of which were an option, after all the naughty birthday cake I’d loaded up on at brekky.

But at Sydney Parklife; I enjoyed being surrounded by all those leggy barbies and giant basketballers! Because by the time those gloomy clouds spilled over with rain, hardly any droplets made it onto me before landing on all those tall heads looming over me.

With Little Boots rocking her Indie-Chic style and La Roux pulling out those dirty beats in a crazy wardrobe… None of us had any time to notice the cold as we danced our little hearts out.
Best Birthday Yet
