Golden Buddha Money Box

What to buy for a Secret Santa present with a limit of $10?

Peace, happiness and savings. Child Buddha bank with a metallic finish, smiling at all the coins you're giving him (to save for you, of course. Buddha doesn't need your monies!).

louis vuitton geometric v keyring

Found a great little piece to add to my collection - the Geometric V Keyring from Louis Vuitton S/S 2006. It matches the pendant I already had, although is image is clean and bold compared to the distressed, aged looking pendant.

Baghdad Eggs

This morning I woke up to the smell of garlic and cumin cooking... soon enough I discovered it was Baghdad Eggs cooking on the stove, something I haven't had in two years!

a spot of shopping

Stefano High Tops, Witchery Man

Bought a new pair of shoes today that will go with everything. They're a low high top canvas sneaker with strap and buckle details and a zip for easy access. Perfect for skinny jeans which are a staple in my wardrobe.

gone are the days of turning left to experience business class

Pre-Flight Amenities - Orange Juice, Menu, Newspaper

Starter - Vanilla Poached Salmon with Endive Salad and Dill Creme

Air New Zealand offer a great Business Class product across the Tasman which I have now experienced for the first time . Although I have travelled Business Class a few times on Emirates (MEL-AKL, SYD-AKL) and Thai (BKK-SYD-AKL) I have never had the chance to try Air New Zealand.

Air New Zealand offer benefits such as 3 pieces of checked baggage, 2 pieces of carry-on baggage, Koru Lounge access, and express facilities upon arrival in Sydney.
