I got myself into a bit of a mood this weekend and for some unknown reason decided that it was time for a good old fashion ‘spring’ clean. Now you may be thinking, “So what?” but for those who know me this may come as a huge shock as it is widely known that I am not a very tidy person. So as I found myself waist deep in the mess that is my bedroom I finally stumbled across my underwear drawer. By this stage I was in a ruthless state of mind, deciding it was easier just to throw things out than try and find a home for them and I applied the same brutal system to sorting through my underwear. All of a sudden every single bra and brief, which had previous passed every test with flying colours, now appeared faded, tattered or just plain old so into the rubbish they went – all of them! Once my mood had subsided and I had managed to detox my bedroom into a state of absolute cleanliness, I set about admiring my work. I was feeling quite pleased with myself until to my horror I discovered that in my haste to reach godliness through cleanliness I had managed to literally clean myself out of any undergarments. But my dismay soon turned into excitement when I realised I had self consciously created myself a fantastic excuse to go shopping for new underwear, an excuse that usually took a least a couple of hours of lame justifications to reach! And my first stop? It would have to be Mossimo, for bold, fashion-forward looks that bring a bit of edge to your underwear. Check out www.mossimo.com.au for campaign shots that are so sexy they will have you convinced that your body can look that hot in Mossimo underwear too!

So getting into the spirit of moving into my new house I have found a fine appreciation for decorating magazines, english garden books and a fondness for door handles, skirting boards and PAINTINGS!

Although it will be a few weeks until the ‘piece de resistance’ will be ready, upon looking at the pics in the latest inside out magazine, something caught my eye (other than a shower head or range hood) that was quite fabulous…..

The particular piece is a collaborative by Nick Morris and David Bowers… titled ‘I love You’ … On further investigation it appears that I have missed the boat and alas it has been sold! That being said given there isnt a lick of paint on the walls, the floor is a complete mess and the skirting boards are all different types, items to adorn the walls should perhaps be my last concern! Check out: http://www.nickmorris.com.au/

I LOVE IT!

Rebecca AKA Ms BLUE STEEL

- Loves a photo opportunity, is always well equipped with her digital camera at ALL times, no event too small to whip out the camera and practise the ‘blue steel’ pose.

- Doesn’t believe in washing of her vehicle, the more rubbish from the past year in there the better, according to Beck – Car Washing is completely overrated.

- Breakfast for Beck is at 8.30am when she cracks open her standard can of Coca Cola (pardon the pun- not intended)

- Indulges in spray tanning, and prefers to spray over old tan, infact wears a g-string unlike her boss who insits on a full brief for this kind of activity.

- Has won the LOTTO about a million times!

- Has immaculately groomed Brows – Maybe something to do with the fact that she Is the cousin of the Eyebrow Guru – Nathan, http://www.parlourx.com.au/Content_Common/pg-Parlour-B.seo

- Copes incredibly well with ‘foreign’ call centres, infact, gets quite a kick out of the fact that she is considered Miss Fix It in the office, computer down? Call Beck, Mobile phone pin number lost? Call Beck, Internet incredibly slow? Call Beck, White spots on your Gardenia plants? Call Beck, Need a booking in 10 minutes to ANYWHERE? Call Beck!!!!

- Beck’s speciality – ANYTHING! My Saviour!!!!!

Bond girls are hot, confident and always get the guy – but for some reason he gets all the toys, has all the fun and the girl gets a frock and a corny phrase.

Turn the tables on Mr. Bond and give his Martini more than just a stir with the ultimate Bond machine – The Aston Martin DBS.

Now I won’t turn into Mr Bond’s famous sidekick “Q” and bore you with all the details – all you need to know is that it is the fastest Aston Martin production car available.

If you want the seats to be Chanel quilted leather and the exterior to be the same shade as your favourite nail polish then Aston Martin will hand build the car to any specification. 

The only limit is your imagination…and your bank balance…

So given I have just hit the big 28 and the way Sophie yells at me to ask a question one would think I had gone deaf and hit 128 not 28. Anyway, as mentioned previously, the need for a good anti ageing cream has certainly been the topic of conversation of late in the Betty HQ’s. Admittedly I am not very saavy when it comes to potions and lotions or as my Dad likes to call them 90% Dreams and 10% Water creams. Now is the time to learn about them….. I mean having creases around your eyes at 35 doesn’t sound too appealing, so I felt it was best to take the necessary precautions NOW! Upon popping into David Jones at the weekend I discovered why I hadn’t done this before – every counter had glamouros supermodels smiling at me, there were a million brands all with glossy packaging ALL telling me that THEY were the answer to looking like Heidi Klum until I am 100 with a lick of cream each evening before slipping into my PJ’s…..

Before Eye Cream

How does one pick? Which one REALLY works? I ended up with a fancy bluey black jar from Shisedo ‘Future Solution’, the experience was Fab -the sales lady never tried to up sell me on the entire range – which was a welcomed change – You know that feeling when you feel compelled to buy it just to shut them up!? And then walk away with an awful case of buyers remorce!!! Not the case at Shisedo!

Now the big question – does it work? Please see below BEFORE and AFTER Shots – ill let YOU be the judge!. I saw we have a WINNER!

Get yours NOW at: Myer, David Jones or if you fancy yourself as a bit of an online shopper:

After Eye Cream!

I thought it time that we introduce you all to the Sweaty Betty PR Family…. Long overdue I know, but trying to gather appropriate imagery and then list each persons characterics takes time you know!

Thinking starting off the introduction with the below would give you an interesting insight into these fun, naughty and all round wonderful girls that scream at me daily like as though I am 28 and deaf or someting!!

SARAH P aka MISS BONDI

- Has a fondness for foreign men, if they speak English, she isn’t the least bit interested in them.  Oh and if they are a permanent resident that makes them compeletely illegible as a potential Suitor.

- Believe that roots (as in on your head) are far cooler than having your colour attended to on a 6 week basis like the rest of us. The worse the roots, the cooler the hair do.

- Eats those moorish corn nuts for breakfast (by the bucket load) yet still manages to be a Size – 4!

- Drives a DEUS bike at the weekend – yes she is so cool that she will often be found trailing the streets FAST!

- Has a fondness for wearing a swimsuit with shorts that we like to call DENIM KNICKERS.

- Her PR speciality you ask? SP is an Online Genius and knows her stuff when it comes to the application of a false lash or a nifty teeth whitening kit – not to mention being very partial to anything sparkly!

More introductions to follow!
