Project - Home

My Hubby and I have only been living in our house for 2 months, but i am really inspired to re decorate our home. The furniture that we have at the moment is all brand new. It is modern/contemporary and its all black and white. I will take some photos tonight and post them tomorrow to show you what our apartment looks like at the moment.

When we first moved in, we had alot of things already bought for us from our parents and friends, so there was no need for us to go out and and purchase anything. After being enormously inspired blogs such as Made by Girl  and Tied with a Bouw, i have decided that my home needs a more personal touch.

Dont get me wrong, i love our home, the things we currently have are fantastic, but i think it can be better.

The problem that i have is this - Most of the blogs that i have come across are about decorating really large spaces and houses. The ladies (and their partners) who are decorating, seem to have the time and finances to dedicate so much into their homes. I, on the other hand, have limited finances, and my home is not that large.

I am going to try to be really creative with my choices of decorating. I will make sure to keep you posted with what i choose....

Here are some images of what i am loving at the moment:

1. Hubby & I want a baby, so this wall print for a nursery would be perfect

2. The print on this bag is beautiful! I love all things floral, and this is just the kind of design i would love around my home

4.  I think this room is beautiful. The use of colour here is genius!

Zazzle

I received my business cards this morning from http://www.zazzle.com.au/!!! YAY!

It is a great website. There are a whole lot of designs to choose from, all  you need to do is put in your details and order them! I ordered 100 business cards, standard size, on white board. They turned out fantastic, and with the express shipping being 50% off, i received them in 2 business days. Im super excited to have them, and im so motivated to continue networking and advertising to market my makeup business. See some pics below:

Ordinary Fridays..

When i was discussing starting a blog with my sister, she told me i have to blog every day (more for her entertainment than for any other reason). I missed out yesterday.. oops! sorry sis!

I always assumed that if i started my blog i would always have something to write about... well.... im thinking... i know there is something i should be writing about... hmmm... im trying... im thinking.. ok! got it:

Positive. This is an important word to me. When facing my own problems, when listening to other friends, i always make sure to tell them something positive. Yesterday i had a good friend of mine tell me that for the first 8 years of our friendship she used to judge me because of what i wore, and therefore she never considered me a good friend. Only after helping her through a tough time, did she realise her mistake. This hurt, im not going to lie, i was upset.. really upset. I thought of all the negative things, i thought about what i should do.. I then remembered the positive things in life.. It is rare that a true friend would tell you something like that, it is a true friend who can talk about such deep feelings and thoughts, so i called her and told her not to worry about it, its in the past, it shouldnt change our future...

So my happy little bloggers.. I leave you with this thought for your Ordinary Friday.. Think positive, act positive, speak positive... for it may save you a true friendship.

Much love,

beginnings..

Hello?!... Is this thing on??...
<clearing of throat>

So i have forever considered the world of blogs for the more passionately creative people of this world.. The people who have this natural ability to look at something and think "yes! this is fantastic, it will inspire, i am blogging this at once!".. Then i realised, i am also passionately creative, i also have access to the Internet, i must share my thoughts with the people who are just waiting for me... Wait no longer, i have arrived!

I have sat and pondered the layout of my template and colour scheme for far longer than it is taking me to write this. Choosing colours and a title is much harder than it seems. For if i didn't have the right colours, how could i inspire? How could i stir feelings of beauty?

I will keep it short, this is already longer than i intended... My name is Milena.
I am twenty four..
I am married..
A makeup artist..
An amateur photographer..
A Personal Assistant..
A lover of fashion and beauty..
A creative soul forever seeking...

Much love,
