Kia Ora friends! Happy Saturday. I woke up this morning feeling really groggy (and sleepy) and I've had like 3 coffees today and now I'm wide awake (I am going to regret that tomorrow but oh well). I think not having much sleep really meant that I needed it today. My stomach is relatively okay right now though so yay. Anyway, Melbourne weather today was gorgeous this morning but now it's a bit more overcast. It's warm but not too warm, if you get me.
So far today, I went to my hair appointment, got my blonde re-done, and a cut. I normally have a really great conversation with my hairdresser but today, the colourist was much more talkative than the person cutting my hair (I think he may have been in a bad mood so we'll see what happens next time bc normally that doesn't happen). Anyway, here's a photo:
Hopefully, when it's curly again, the humidity won't ruin it too much! I feel like that took up most of my day and I felt very tired after. It's a bit of a long walk to the hairdressers and back so my body is starting to feel it now. I also found some money on my way home, which doesn't happen to me too often and apparently, it means that you are on the right path. Which I mean, I hope so. I don't know for sure, but I really hope that what I'm doing right now is the right path and is going to work out. I think that made more sense in my head but whatever haha. I left the money out for Luke to use for something ahah.
Once I got home, I made myself some lunch and then wanted to get some snacks and I picked up a new one today, Pascall's Clinkers - I thought they were gonna be softer marshmallows inside but I feel like they'd do well in a rocky road because the marshmallow might soften up a bit? Idk. I like the flavour but didn't expect them to be as hard as they are. I feel like they're kinda like if a fruit puff was to be covered in chocolate. I wonder if they'd work in a lolly cake. Although there's usually not chocolate involved in that. That also reminds me, one of my favourite alcoholic beverages is Billson's Vodka and all the flavours they have, specifically the Creaming Soda one, and Luke bought some home yesterday so I was so happy I could have one! They're yum af.
They also have SOOO many flavours. I've also talked to a few different people about them and some people really like them and others find them super weird (like there's no real 50/50 on them). Anyway, they're in Beechworth and I really wanna go to their factory. I think that would be cool. I also think Beechworth has ghost stuff so that would be cool! Gonna put it on my list of road trips lol.
Today is Luke's last cricket match for the calendar year so I think we're going to just have a chill night (watch some TV and eat some pizza). I also got some olives for us to have with some garlic bread too so hopefully it's yummy!
Complete 180 here too!
There's been A LOT of drama this year regarding YouTuber illumanaughtii and I would say that she used to be one of my favourite YouTubers but the stuff coming out about her this year is awful. There's way too much to break down in a blog post but the whole thing is just a mess. Her ex-partner Oz Media has also come out with many awful allegations too. But if you're interested in a total breakdown of what's going on, I suggest checking out "this Reddit thread" and "this video" from Oompaville. Basically, the woman behind illumanaughtii is called Blair and she makes videos exposing the bad people in the world like the bad corporate companies and MLMs. And people are now calling her out for hypocritical behaviour. So far, these are all allegations but I'm really interested to see what happens after a court case. Other people who used to work with her have said that she was super nasty and abusive to them and has been pretending to be random people online. It sucks so much to hear this. But yeah, let's get an update on this situation later on and see what transpires. Kinda interesting.
I think my brain has stopped for today, so I'm gonna end the blog post there and finally go and relax. For today's question, I want to know, Coke or Pepsi? Let me know in the comments below. OOOOH WHERE'S THAT COKE VS PEPSI STUDY. Found it "here". So that study is where a group of participants partook in blind taste testing and every time, people preferred Pepsi. However, more people like Coke because of its advertising. I find that so fascinating. I actually even talked about it in my thesis lol. For me, I really like both. I like raspberry Coke and I like vanilla Pepsi. I don't think I have a preference but I do wonder what I'd prefer if I were in that experiment.
That's all folks!
Much love,
Ash xx
