HIGHS AND LOWS

Highs and lows for this week.
Not on time :(

Highs:

- Auckland Topshop store opening on Queen street. I wasn't one of those crazy dedicated people waiting since the night before, but it was VERY exciting!

- Ponsonby market sale. Pretty sure I was in heaven. <3

- Ruby sale. Ah so many pretty things! I really want this
 
- Auckland Viaduct Harbour flower market. Beautiful, cheap, and organic flowers! (They make for some pretty sweet instagram pics!)

- I'm going away this weekend (for the first time in forever) nowhere too spectacular. We are going on a road trip to Ohinewai, Tokoroa, and then Rotorua. (I'll write a blog post on it)

- Not sure whether this this goes in highs or lows, but the other day I went into a store and tried on some Birkenstocks, for the hell of it. In my opinion they are quite possibly uglier than Crocs (which is saying something), but as soon as I put them on, I was quickly persuaded, honestly they are the comfiest shoes I have ever tried. Now I am seriously considering buying a pair.

Lows:

- Spent about $30.00 on Hulucat this week. Oh shit.

- Public speaking. I'm physically incapable of it.

- The whole Yaya Club thing, its just one big disgusting racist mess.

- Strong scented candles. They give me a headache, and make me feel sick. (Just got given three.)

HIGHS AND LOWS

Highs and lows for last week.

Highs:

- Mr Zhou's Dumplings. Amazing. (Q) Is it bad that that I ate there twice last week?
(A) probably.

- Lonely Hearts, Mon Dieu range. I've already bought two pieces from that line. <3

- Booking hotels, always fun. 

- Maddy Budd on the cover of nzhviva, woooo!

Lows:

- "On fleek", not sold.

- Apple chargers. ALWAYS breaking, I need to replace them at least every two months.

- Algebra. Nope. Can't do it.

- Still sad James K Lowe ended his blog :(

My favourite Auckland food spots.

I'm always finding cosy new spots in Auckland to enjoy a quiet meal, and always dragging one friend or another along. So here are my top picks:

New Flavour: The food there makes up for their slightly lacking customer service. Although I understand some of the waitresses aren't fluent in English. Whenever I'm there the first dish to arrive at our table will always be the 'pork and Chinese cabbage fried dumplings.' Trust me you'll love them!

Welcome Eatery: Based in the heart of Auckland, its a go-to for me. Its vibrant green cafe setting is very welcoming (how ironic). But seriously, their 'Prawn Po' sandwiches are to die for!

Good One: For that early morning coffee fix, or afternoon tea, Good One is it for me. Tucked away from the busy Ponsonby streets, its industrial theme makes it feel cold, but with a strange sense of warmth? They serve beautiful cafe style food, and make a mean coffee!

The Lucky Taco: Who doesn't love a good food truck? Sarah and Otis Frizzell are the proud owners of one located on Ponsonby Road. Their taste for Mexican food is impeccable, and they sure know how to cook up one heck of a feast! I love the atmosphere there, after a few weekly visits it seems I've become a regular customer. Now each time I visit I'm welcomed with a kind 'hello Sarah!'

Why i've decided to start a blog.

None of my friends have blog's, so it was out of the blue for me. I guess it was my two favourite bloggers (Maddy Budds Blog, Katherineisawesome.com) that inspired me to start one. I have no idea where this blog will lead me, what it will contain (most likely loads of people/places/things that have caught my attention at that moment in time.) Or if this is actually a happening thing? Anyway I hope a few of you enjoy this blog.
