I'm Back; computer troubles, new blog, and Tobi discount

I'm back all you lovely people, I've missed you so very much! I recently just got a new computer after many months of trying to fix my old one. I am so sorry to any of you who thought I have fallen off the face of the earth! 

Although I am back I am quite busy with my schooling at the moment as I'm soon to be going into my first lot of block exams. I may not be posting until I go on holidays in about 4 weeks I'm so excited as I'm going back to the beautiful Canada. 

I also have some exiting news... I've started a graphic design course at TAFE! I will be doing this for the next two years along with grade 11 and 12 at high school. I've really enjoyed it so far and will definitely post some of my work when I get around to it.

I am also looking into making an new blog in the next year or so with some of my new graphic design and photography skills! 

So I hope you all are enjoying life and keep smiling :)

Bye for now...

KORA Organics

It is really miracle stuff it's affordable and so organic you can even eat it!! If you have any skin conditions like cerises or even acne (or even just want softer and more beautiful skin) I highly recommend!!!
Thanks for reading and remember to spread the word :)

The View From Above

The view from an aroepane window is allways the best. In these pictures I've tried to capture some of the magic.
