Mother's Day @ Myer

I absolutely love how Myer always has different themes, according to what they are trying to sell us. This time it's Mother's Day (10 May). The whole store is decorated with Tiffany's green and other autumn motives, and the displays are cute and very tempting.

Everything is under the title "My Mum", embracing the slogan "My Store, Myer". I like!

Why I just love Brisbane - reason #120

Because you can walk down Queen St Mall on a Friday afternoon and catch a free-of-charge random mini concert, which turns up to be actually really good. Even though it's country music - not my favourite genre - they were very good and very entertaining. In most cases, those concerts are a promotional tool- and so was in this case (some kind of a country festival happening in the beginning of May). Not a problem- promote, as long as I am having fun I never mind.

My NYX haul (Part 1)

A few weeks ago, cherryculture.com had an overall sale- 20% off. I grabbed my wallet and went to play in the fields, hauling my way into NYX. I actually did not own any NYX stuff, but heard quite good things about this company. In Brisbane, you can get NYX stuffies at cheap cosmetics outlets like “Groove”, but it seems as they don’t have much stock there.

This is part 1 of my NYX haul, I actually placed another order last weekend. I should be getting it by the end of next week. The parcel arrived to the PO Box exactly a week from the time I received my “your order has been shipped” email. Cool stuff.

So... what did I get? A LOT. Here is the parcel with the cute front logo.

Everything inside, organised very nicely and well wrapped.
