Weekend Road Trip: Sydney Sights

Last weekend, my girlfriend Eddie and I went on a little trip to Sydney. We got the first flight down on the Saturday morning, at a really ungodly hour... and then came home on the last flight Sunday. Although exhausting - it was well worth it!!

We visited the Picasso exhibit at the Art Gallery of NSW - they are a lot more intriguing in their physical presence. Photos do his work no justice! We then went for a nice long walk around town, had a late lunch at the museum and then did the touristy thing and took photos at the Sydney Opera House with the Harbour Bridge in the background.

Eddie and I then found ourselves at the Museum of Contemporary Art, where Rafael Lozano-Hemmer was the featured artist. Neither of us had ever heard of him before, but oh my golly gosh he is definitely one of my favourites now. He does some really amazing interactive displays, plus it was SO MUCH FUN!!

Chantal and Eddie - eye burning!

On Sunday, we went shopping at Harbourside, Darling Harbour – and I finally bought my first leather jacket.. and at a bargain price at that! We caught the monorail many times and visited WildLife, just to finish off our ‘tourist experience’.

Tasty Tuesday: Christina Aguilera

I absolutely adore Christina Aguilera - she has a fantastic voice, and an even better banging body. I wish I could be as cute and hot as Miss Voice!!

 

Her amazing shoe collection! (plus child)

New Years Day

Today we took our two gorgeous poodles to Bribie Island to play at the Beach. It had been well over a year since their last play, and they so did NOT want to get into the water! But by the end of the day they were wet, sandy and exhausted - played well with the other dogs and came when called.

A very fantastic first day to the new year!!!

New Year, New Blog

Hello!

I decided that now that a new year is upon us, I wanted to start a fresh new blog of my doings plus my loves mixed with tips and tricks!

A little bit about me... my name is Chantal, but I also go by the nickname "Lucy" quite often. I have qualifications and experience in a wide range of fields including Accounting, Beauty Therapy, Interior Design, and Music Entertainment. I married my husband Stuart (aka "Alfred") in June 2010 and we live in our own home with two cute poodles named Rupert (aka Teddy) and Charlie (aka Chuck or ChaChi).
