Moving ... again!

Hey lovelies

Just a quick post to update you of somethings happening with me right now.

As the title of this post suggests I've moved ... again! 

What a whirlwind my life has been over the last couple of years. 

I moved from Gold Coast to Cairns to Perth and now back to the Gold Coast. 

There's a lot of reasons as to why I moved back to the GC and I won't bore you with them all.

To put it simply there comes a time where priorities change, 

your life needs change and you have to make different choices. 

Perth is such a beautiful city and I will miss it and it's people, a lot.

I love the journey I have been on, learnt a lot and met some amazing people and new lifelong friends. 

Sometimes people say you shouldn't go back, once you've moved on keep moving! 

I get that but I don't agree with it in a physical sense. 

And that's what I've done. I have come home, but my thoughts, outlook and feelings are different. 

I've been doing a lot of thinking and working on all this of late 

(that's why blog posts have been few and far between I'm sorry) 

but I look forward to sharing this with you all in the coming weeks

as my life has an adjustment, yet again.

I want to say a special thanks to all the Perth bloggers (they know who they are) 

who really connected with me via my blog more when I had arrived in Perth. 

I hope the distance doesn't end that friendship. 

Thanks everyone for just being your amazing selves! 

Have a great weekend

My week with Instagram ...

It's Sunday and time to review my week ...

1. I finished my holiday to the Gold Coast with the very handsome Mr Harry Kewell standing next to me at the security check at the airport. So no, this isn't my own snap as I know I just would have embarrassed myself if I got my phone out to take a snap, he was just too close haha!
2. After getting back to Cairns on Sunday night, I headed out again to Sydney on Monday morning. Good thing I like flying!
3. Hit Sydney with some retail therapy at Westfield in the city (window shopping only of course) before starting work.
4. Gift from work, yummy Aesop Jet Set travel kit. It's a great gift idea.
5. One of my very good friends sent me this quote this week and I thought it was just priceless!
6. Overcast and raining in Sydney this week but it was still a fab view across Manly from our restaurant, Manly Pavillion
7. Back in Cairns and the packing has begun!
8. Went to the movies and saw Moneyball - my quick review, good story, clever, interesting insight into the business of baseball, Brad Pitt is a bit cute, Jonah Hill has great delivery, they work well together.
9. I finally started handing out my business cards for new "coming soon" business designed by the lovely Jen @ Made By Girl. Thanks Jen I love them x

Here I go again ...

Noun 1. Gypsy - a laborer who moves from place to place as demanded by employment. 

Ok so maybe not in the traditional sense but I am starting to feel a little bit like a Gypsy.

It was the same time last year I did a similar post - I was moving to Cairns for work.
Well this year I'm moving again, going way out west to Perth. 

Initially it wasn't an idea I was too fond of but after much thinking and many discussions, you start to understand the need to open yourself up to opportunities that come before you, both professionally and personally and just go with the flow of why they have come to you!

So it's farewell to the tropics. It's been fun but Perth holds a little bit more for me. 

The next 12 months will bring challenges at work, good ones of course but I also get to hang out with friends I haven't seen in ages, go shopping in some gorgeous shops (this is something I've really missed), not just for the shopping experience but inspiration. Oh and I get to have a winter - a true cold winter!

 

Beautiful Cottlesloe Beach

So I think that means I've lived almost all over Australia - Adelaide, Melbourne, Gold Coast and now Perth .... mmm that leaves only Sydney, maybe that will be next? Or back to Melbourne again? Perhaps I'll just think about the next 12 months of my life in Perth which of course I plan to share with you here.

So the search is on for a new apartment.
One thing I've discovered about Perth is that it's quite an expensive city to live in, so it looks like it's a small apartment for me!

I'll keep you all posted.
