My Top 7 Iphone Apps

IPhone...They are becoming a way of life! I'll admit it, I'm in love with my IPhone and everything it can do. I'd almost call it an obsession. My name is Danielle and I am a IPhone-holic. (Is there any IA(IPhone Anonymous) groups out there?)

My 7 Favorite IPhone Apps

HeyTell- Short voice messages sent from one heytell user to another! I use this App daily to talk to many people.

Instagram- As you can tell I use this app alot. Look through my blog posts and you will find many photos I've taken using Instagram. It would have to be my number one used App! Lucky you can't ware them out!!

Angry Birds- WARNING! THIS GAME IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE

Commbank- Being able to do all my online banking on the go is a great advantage! There has been many occasions that this app has saved me from having to go to the closest bank or even home to sort out my money.

Viber- Free phone calls and texts to other viber users? Need I say more!

Kindle- I love to read and having a kindle on my phone means I can read any time anywhere for a fraction of the price it would cost me to buy a book.

Facebook- Social Networking!!! I also have an addiction to facebook and having it handy all day long is great for me. I love being kept up to date

Turning Positive

Being positive about life is a choice, A choice I've made recently. Even on those dark-stormy-grey days I've promised my self to pick out the positives and focus on them, no matter how big or small they are. I believe this is a healthy attitude to have.

I've came up with a bit of a list I can refer back to:

No.1 PUT MY SELF FIRST FOR A WHILE. It's time to focus on all my own needs rather than tending to everyone else. We are all guilty of putting other peoples needs ahead of our own & we sometimes forget who number 1 really is...!

No.2 DO ALL THE SILLY SIMPLE FUN THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY. Singing in the shower. Watching 80&90s sitcoms. Styling my hair in silly hair styles. Reading gossip mags. Covering all tables with bright coloured material. Smiling at randoms. Reading those little inspirational coffee table books.

NO.3 WRITING THINGS DOWN. Whether it's a journal or my blog, I love to share things. Creating a safe place I can come to when I need to get away from the pressure of daily life.

NO.4 MAKE SOMEONE SMILE DAILY. It's simple.. Just to see someone smile is a great gift.

NO.5 LISTEN TO MY BODY. This is an important one. I always ignore what my body asks for. It's time to get healthy, A healthy body leads to a healthy mind and Visa Versa. 7-8 hours sleep a night, the perfect balance! Most of all to drink alot more water!!!

NO.6 STOP PUTTING SO MUCH IMPORTANCE ON MONEY. I've always put way to much importance on money & it's definitely a big stress in my life. It is possible to live our lives regardless of the status of our wallets. I'm not saying I don't need or want money. I just don't want it to be the most important thing in my life anymore

NO.7 NOT BEING AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES. I'm not perfect, not at all! I make mistakes alot, but I learn from them quick. I've accepted that there is going to be alot more mistakes in my life time. They make me who I am!

So my plan is to cherish the moment, and appreciate all the small things in life. I want to watch the sunrise in the mornings and smell ocean at dusk. I know some people will think I'm sounding like "strawberry shortcake" or one of the "care bears" but I no longer care what others think. It's my life and I've only got this one chance to live it {and I'm going to live it my way}

Goals!

We all have days when we need a boost, days when we are feeling down on ourselves, days when life just make you want to scream. But all you got to do is smile & try to see the positive side of a negative situation. Easier said than done? Yeah you're right it is, but once you start doing it, it will amaze you how easy it becomes.

We only get one chance to make our life what we want and nothing is unachievable. Set goals and do what ever it takes to reach them, start with simple ones & once you reach them go for one a little bit more challenging.

I've set my self some goals in the last few weeks and they feel almost impossible at this stage, but I know once I'm out of here they will be alot easier to grasp. They are:

• Move away from the valley.
• Start & complete my OH&S study
• Get a full time job is safety
• Learn to fish
• Learn to drive a manual (I can already, just some trouble going down in gears)

Being an Aunty

I {heart} being an Aunty!

Little Miss Kieley! At 14 months old she is a cheeky, sneaky, adorable Little Miss with a big smile. As soon as that cheeky smile or one of her many goofy facial expressions is on her face it is hard not to laugh.(Even if she is up to no good).

Reasons why I love it so much:

No.10
I can buy her all the unnecessary toys a kid could want!

No.9
I can spoil her rotten!

No.8
Aunties are COOL! Well I know mine are. Only aunties can hug like a mother, keep secrets like a sister and share love like a friend

No.7
My niece is the most beautiful cheeky "Little Miss" in the whole wide world!(Modest much?)

No.6
I get to be a big kid! (We all love being a kid now and again)

No.5
It's my duty to teach her bad habits like picking her nose!

No.4
Watching endless cartoons without people thinking I'm "immature"! =o)

No.3
Did I mention I have the most adorable niece in the whole wide world?

No.2
CUDDLES! Enough said!

No.1
I can give her back at the end of the day.... Not that I would ever want to!

So to T.J & Dee, You guys made an amazing little girl, you are both brilliant parents and Kieley is a very lucky Little Miss! I can't wait to be an aunty again! *hint hint*

Lazy Days



Location: Bali Safari Park
Lazy Tiger!



I like the word "indolence." It makes my laziness seem classy.

We all have days like this, days we don't want to worry about the outside world, days we can't be bothered going out in the cold. It could be a day lazing on a beach, or not even getting out of bed. I think this would be a good time to share my tips to a perfect lazy day.

Cute Pyjamas- There is nothing more comfortable than your cutest pair of PJ's. My favorite attire for a lazy day is my over sized pink PJ pants(an elephant could fit its legs in them), and my favorite fleecy hoody. If the plan is to be in your PJ's all day they have to be comfy.

Perfect Place- You don't want to spend your lazy day in a room or a place you don't enjoy being. It's could be the beach, your bedroom, on the couch or in your own backyard. If it is a nice day & the sun is shining, I like to spend most my day sitting on my veranda, in the sun reading a book I can't put down. But on those terrible cold & grey days there is nothing better than on the couch, heater on and snuggled up in my favorite blanket.

Entertainment- Maybe you like to sleep all day, maybe not. Favorite books, movies & activities are ideal on your lazy day. Reading & TV is usually my entertainment of choice. Grabbing a good book or reading some of my favorite blogs, with either Glee or the Big Bang Theory playing on the T.V.

Treats- Remember all those guilty pleasures you have, well your lazy day is the day you can get away with them, without feeling any guilt! Make your self a hot chocolate and fill it with marshmallows, raid the lolly jar you pushed to the back of the cupboard, eat ice-cream out of the tub and order take out from your favorite restaurant!

Spoil your self- There is many ways to spoil your self. A bubble bath, Face-mask, Light all those candles or find a spot of grass and soak up the sunshine. Just remember it is a day about you & you have to do what ever it takes to keep a smile on your face!

Those are some of my tips for an Amazing lazy day.
