Dr Who

It happened. I’m officially a Whovian. I tried several times to make Dr Who a thing in my life but it’s never really stuck until Peter Capaldi became the Doctor. Mr Smags and I started watching the most recent series and then we just binged on it like a couple of teenagers. I think you know you’re a Whovian when the Tardis appears out of nowhere and saves the Doctor right at the last minute and you have to fight back your tears of joy. I bloody love the Tardis. I wish my house was a Tardis. If you’ve never watched Dr Who, I can highly recommend the Capaldi episodes. Very funny and very entertaining.

Sole Republic Shadow Headphones

Mr Smaggle bought a pair of these and raved about them non-stop so I asked for some for my birthday. They’re wireless headphones and they’re so freaking awesome. I love not being tethered to myself when I’m walking around and listening to podcasts. I can also do proper gym sessions with equipment and weights without having to carry my phone and get all tangled up in my headphones. I can also take my jacket off without strangling myself on my headphone cord. They’re the actual best. If you listen to a lot of music or podcasts on your daily commute, get some wireless headphones. They’re life changing.

Kiehls Dark Circle Corrector

I always struggle to get under eye concealers that aren’t pasty and thick. This one is really light and not at all cakey. It’s a good amount of coverage without going over board. Loving it.

Did you discover anything freaking awesome this month? Care to share in the comments?

By the way you should totally sign up for the Smaggle newsletter and like Smags on Facebook. I heard a rumour that Beyonce subscribes to the Smaggle newsletter. I made that rumour up but still…

    Nice list.
    Mine are:
    making handwritten quotes. I have even sold a couple at markets and i have started a facebook page too. You were my inspiration with your hobbies post the other day. I am not arty at all but i seem to be good at this so thanks 🙂

    Paul Mitchell Awapuhi hair oil. Best stuff ever. Leaves morrocan oil for dead. I find it even defines/refreshes curls

    Loreal infallible foundation. This is my first real time using a full coverage foundation daily and it really does give a flawless ‘finished’ look

    My three things are
    Family holidays- we are staying with my awesome Aunt and Uncle who are hilarious and caring and loving
    Cricket- the reason we came up to stay with my Aunt and Uncle is so my awesome lil girl can play in a big comp my folks also have come up to watch!
    Puzzle books- you know the ones with like 100 different puzzles that all have a theme?! I love them and they keep my boy busy while we watch the cricket!

    This month, I am loving: IPLing ready for summer – it doesn’t hurt at all! Napoleon Perdis The One concealer and Protein Bread company bread and pancake mixes – low carb, high protein. The pancakes are my new Sunday morning breakfast treat. Xx

      Oh I need to do that! Sick of paying a small fortune every 5 seconds for waxing. I love Protein bread! I’m an absolute fiend for it.

    • Dfordezi 9 years ago

      May I ask both of you where you get Protein Bread products?

    Capaldi is doing a great job as the Doctor….

    Home espresso – it’s a secondhand Saeco Incanto that I bought off ebay, but it does a good cup.
    Germination tray – we’re going to have waaaaaay too many tomatoes again
    Post-it notes – perennial, but oh my, they do help me stay organised!

    I have been waiting for Wolf Hall to start again on Foxtel for ages, because I only wanted to watch it from the first ep and this month it did. Am completely besotted. Had to watch the first one twice to really take all in.

    Can’t wait to receive my Jamberry nail wraps that Sam Colden from The Annoyed Thyroid has started. Too too adorable! http://bit.ly/1VsVOCL

    Bought a Logitech wireless keyboard to go with my ipad for blogging on the go and it has changed my life! So easy to jot down lots of ideas straight into a draft post!

      Oh I had a friend send me a sample of those – can’t wait to try them out!

    Kevyn Aucoin – The Volume mascara. Best mascara of my life!! Full disclosure – I haven’t discovered this in the past month, it is something I have been using it for a while but I am absolutely mad about it and tell everyone who will listen. I am also loving Cadbury’s Marvellous Creations Rasberry Lemonade chocolate – I am not usually one for ruining chocolate with “bits” but this is cool.

      I’ve hear that mascara is amazing! I’m on the look out for a brilliant one so I’ll get that. I love chocolate with bits!

  7. Oh, so with you on Doctor Who – I’ve been hooked since David Tennant, went back and binged on Eccleston, managed to hold my interest with Matt Smith and now *totally* in love with Capaldi. Was so excited when they announced him as the next Doctor as I was already crushing on him madly from The Thick Of It – if you haven’t seen, I highly recommend.

    Now, my three things:

    Haighs Coffee Crunch block *dies, reborn, dies again*
    Labour Day long weekend
    30 degrees in Adelaide today . . . WHOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!

      I’m IN LOVE with Capaldi. So funny. The Thick of It is hilarious!!!!

    I am loving:
    1. My new chambray shirt. I don’t know why it took me so long to get one! Mind you, I spent $150 on the sucker so that might be why.
    2. The CSIRO diet I’m doing. When I actually follow it, I feel great and lose weight!
    3. The fact that this time in four weeks, I’ll be in NYC!!!

      I’ve got mates who do the CSIRO and they love it! I have to go low-carb to budge the kgs but apart from that it’s brilliant. Oh have a lovely time in New York! I’m jealous!

    My three things I’m loving:
    1. Koh Gen Do aqua foundation – it makes you look photoshopped.
    2. The Martian (movie) – we just returned from watching it and there was no bit of it I didn’t love.
    3. This Instagram account: https://instagram.com/celestebarber/

      All of these sound awesome. Very looking forward to the martian – my partner and my bestie have read it so at least I have dates!

    My portable, hand pump espresso maker. It’s life changing. I can have coffee anywhere, any time. Well so long as I have boiling water.

    Yakult yoghurt drinks. Those tiny little bottle ones. I swear I feel healthier just from drinking them.

    Finding a new cafe that has power outlets for working, good coffee and comfortable tables to work at.

      Oh man I LOVE yakult. I swear it fixes all ailments.

    1. Switching up my morning routine that makes me feel pampered on the daily (but budget friendly)
    2. Rediscovering Drunk History since the episodes are on Hulu
    3. The new floors my hubby & I picked out for our living room and kitchen! And handy friends whom we are thankful for help with the install.

    1. Utopia…late to find this awesome series but as a Public Service Survivor I find it both hilarious and terrifying
    2. Meditation…I do guided ones and I have a free app called Insight Timer which has about 500 free ones ranging from 1 min to 1 hour. Best way of dealing with stress and I have way more energy at the end of the day since I started doing one after work each day.
    3. Jamberry nail wraps….a lot of fun and very achievable for those of us who are rubbish at painting our nails, and then find it chips and looks awful after 2 days.
