Terrarium

I'm absolutely in love with terrariums! Ever since I saw them on Pinterest, it reminded me of those cartoons where there's a bubble around their beautiful but scary world. It feels like another planet. Maybe some kind of "human" is living in there? Another kind of earth. Or at least where dinosaurs roam about.

Beatrix

Beatrix, a quaint cafe in North Melbourne that was so inviting. Like going over to your grandma's house for tea or lunch. Filled with baked goods on the counters to tempt your sweet tooth. It's a very cosy cafe that makes you feel right at home. 
Old school beaters hanging from the ceiling. 
We had a Shak-In-A-Roll, Bea-L-T and the Rachael which was one of the specials of the day. The Shak-In-A-Roll is a vegetarian number but don't be fooled, its packed with as much flavour as the others.
The Rachael - Corned beef with swiss cheese and parsley and mustard slaw.
All the cakes and pies tempting us for a try.
When we finished out food, suddenly a fresh chiffon cake came flying out of the kitchen. It looked so heavenly with the passionfruit glaze dripping over the edges. We were tempted to have a try but we were a little too full for dessert. Maybe next time? But if you're there and they have the Coconut Cake, do have a try! It's soooo delicious!

My Sidekick

I was in desperate need for a sidekick. A sidekick that would hold all my junk and to be there for me when I needed a tissue for my tears, lip balm for my chapped lips or a cardigan for when I was cold. No I'm not talking about that little man there, I'm talking about my bag! After searching for the perfect bag for so long, I decided to splurge on a classic nude bag from Charles & Keith. My biggest purchase yet. It may not be a splurge to others but to me it was. I had set my eyes on another bag that I saw on their website but sadly fate did not let us cross paths. Instead I found this baby! A bag that was big enough that I could fit all my things in, especially when I'm traveling and for uni. I haven't stopped using this bag ever since I got it. Maybe I should do a "what's in my bag" post? Some time in the near future?
