Sisters

Having a sister is a wonderful thing. Your very own bestfriend/hair stylist/ make up artist/ partner in crime (and way way more) from the beginning. You may hate her at times but you will always love her. 

I'm (un)lucky enough to have a little sister of my very own. 

I used to get annoyed when she would copy everything that I say/ do/ like/ wanted/ bought but as my mother ever so kindly pointed out all these years, 'imitation is the highest form of flattery'.

I think you love playing with toys together when you're young (barbies and polly pockets for us) and playing other silly little games (doctors, teachers and spies were our favourites). Then you get to that age where all you can possibly do is fight with each other. You hate each other more than you like each other and you can't stand to share anything let alone talk to each other sometimes. 

I am happily past that age now (for the most part) and get to enjoy all the perks that come with having a sister again.

You want someone to paint your nails?

Drive you to the train station to go clubbing?

Cook dinner with?

Go out to random places to get food because you're hungry?

Fashion advice?

Need to borrow an outfit?

Wondering if your hair looks good today?

Have the sudden urge to go shopping and don't want to go alone?

Need help fake tanning the middle of your back?

Want to go on a maccas run but don't want to go alone?

Need someone to exercise with you?

Need someone to hang out with just so you don't feel lonely?

All of the above for me are reasons why I actually love having a sister. As much as she annoys the hell out of me, I know I will always have someone there to do these things with me and help me out when I need it. Best part is, we live in the same house so there is literally next to no effort to do all of these things together. No need to make the same effort to hang out with a friend and you can be mean to each other and know that at the end of the day you will always have each others backs.

I appreciate having a sister (but I'm still glad I'm the older one).

Hump Day

Hey everyone!

First off, just wanna say happy hump day! We have all made it halfway through the week and now there is only two more days until the weekend (hell yeah!!)

So today I continued my babysitting job for the holidays (I'll have a post about my job soon) and I had planned to do something in the evening with my sister because I honestly don't feel like I spend enough time with her. 

When I do finally spend time with my sister I honestly remember how much alike we are! I've never gotten over how old we are both getting (i'm 18 almost 19 and she's 16). It's weird I can get in the car and drive us places, it's weird that we can go to dinner and not order off the kids menu (not that we have done that since we were 10 because we eat so much) and it's just basically weird that we can hang out together as 'normal' people and no punch each other or bite each other like we used to when we were younger kids. 

So, backtracking a little, for my 18th birthday my inter made me 'IOU' vouchers for her to take me out to lunch/dinner and I finally (9 months later) cashed one in. I had a plan for us to go to the city and eat at some hotdog place, but we decided against that because

1. it was too much effort 
2. it is way too cold
3. it was too far for hotdogs

So we ended up at Pancakes on the Rocks, which I'm glad because I had a total craving for pancakes. We ate so much and we talked a lot and I'm glad my sister is my sister.

devil's delight, blueberry delight, chips & aioli, lemon lime & bitters, pink lemonade= yum

for once I look taller than my sister (I'm left and she's on the right)

Despite being in the toasty warmth of the heater outside the restaurant, we hurried home to come and watch One Tree Hill. One of my sister and my favourite shows! Last year we watched 4 season during one holiday break.

That basically wraps up my post, short and sweet! Promise I'll keep posting :-)

Thanks for reading!
