Peptalks: Face-lift

Those who know me would understand that my staying in one place for a duration lasting longer than 3 months is some sort of record. But with Perth's isolation and a full time job under my - recently purchased leather studded - belt, the luxury of being able to take a quick 3 hour flight across the border is no longer an option, nor is it feasible.

In the effort of trying to distract myself I decided to delve into some poetic justice to help give me some perspective. There were 2 google searches that seemed to be the only logical solutions to my dilemma:

Change

And whether it was because of its truth or the money advertisers paid to push it to the top of my search results, the quote 'Change is as good as a holiday' seemed to be popping up quite a bit. In my wiseness I decided to pursue the solution with slightly better odds (I'll most likely be regretting this decision if someone I know wins the $70 million in tonights Oz Lotto).

Before I knew it I had several tabs open with links feeding back to my Pinterest. And seens as my room has been treated like that of a deceased family member, in my absence, over the past 4 years I thought it would be nice to finally give the walls someone to look at.

24 hours later and a quick trip to IKEA meant that my room finally got the face-lift it needed, mum that bottle of red she'd been eyeing and the two of us with far too many screwdriver injuries as a result of the previous.

Although the interior's not finished, it's a perfect start to what's been missing over the past 7 months... plus I finally have a big girl makeup station that I have been holding out for since my parents got rid of my plastic one in road side collection when I was 8.

Sending much love to IKEA - as this change was definitely cheaper than a flight interstate.
