Hey Hey!

Hiya everyone!

I feel like I have kind of neglected you all. I haven't posted anything in AGES!!! So I thought today I shall just give you all an update into what has happened over the last 2 or so weeks. This is gonna be such a short post because not much has actually happened haha.

From the 21st of September to the 6th of October I was on school holidays. On the 21st, as a kind of new start thing, I went and got my hair ombred, which, if you have no idea what it is, is when you dye the ends of your hair to look as if it is gradually becoming a different colour or shade. In my case, I went slightly darker at my roots and the top half of my hair and then from around half way down it gradually gets blonder. My hairdresser, Mel, did it really well so it isn't full on half and half, you can't really tell where exactly it starts to change.
Woo ombre hair!!!

The first week of the holidays was pretty average. Not much happened. BUT then on Monday the 30th of September, SARAH CAME OVER!!! YAYAYAYAY!!! (btw go and check out her blog here). As soon as I picked her up from the airport, we went straight to Chapel Street to go to TopShop and MAC. In TopShop I bought two shirts and in MAC I bought a 4 insert eyeshadow palette. I thought buying a 4 insert was a good way to start my MAC collection. Both Sarah and I were given advice about colours by one of the shop assistants and she helped us fill our palettes. The four colours I bought were 'All That Glitters', 'Woodwinked', 'Mystery' and 'Sketch' and I love all of them! I won't promise but I might do a little separate blog post on the palette and another make up product I have bought recently.

YAY SARAH CAME!!

On the Tuesday, Sarah and I got up nice and early and headed into the city for some (1D) site seeing and some more kind of shopping. We also met up with her boyfriend, Daniel, who was visiting family in Melbourne. Unfortunately we didn't spot One Direction or 5 Seconds of Summer (sad face), but we did have a lovely time and managed to score a free Starbucks drink each. After we were finished in the city, we said goodbye to Daniel and headed to Southland shopping centre to go and see This Is Us.

I met my boys when I saw This Is Us! :P

Then one of the best days in my life came! It was Wednesday, the 2nd of October. A day I will never EVER forget. It was the day Sarah and I were to see 5 Seconds of Summer and One Direction in the flesh and doing what they do best. IT WAS 1D CONCERT DAY!!! YAY!!! Sarah and I spent our day walking my dog, taking photos and we watched the Up All Night concert DVD as preparation. Then we headed off to Rod Laver Arena. I cannot describe how amazing the night was! We both had so much fun and I want to see them again!!!! Definitely the best night of my life!

1D and 5SOS were AMAZING!!!

With an amazing concert comes massive post concert depression. I legit woke up and almost cried. Don't laugh. I was overwhelmed. During the day, I took Sarah into my home suburb and showed her around. We also bumped into a few of my friends from school. Then it hit me. I felt so down and I actually did want to cry. And yes, I do still have PCD and it has been over a week since the concert. I don't think it will ever go away.

On the Friday, my brother came over with his two daughters and we played with them in the morning, and in the afternoon we went back to Southland for some late night shopping. We got some pizza for dinner and sat outside on my deck and chatted.

Saturday came around and it was the day Sarah was to fly back to Hobart. In the morning, she helped me by being a model for my Studio Art photos and we filmed a few covers of songs. Then it was time to say goodbye (major sad face). I absolutely loved having her here with me and I am missing our late night 'would you rathers' and 'snog, marry, avoids'. But I will be seeing her again soon hopefully.

After that, it was time for me to do my holiday homework and get ready to go back to school and that is where I shall end this blog post.

I will talk to you all soon.

Peace & Love,
Rachel xoxo
