Short Update

So I haven't posted for a while.  So much has been happening with starting a job as an English teacher in a Thai school and the shock passing off my Dad.

My Dad died from a heart attack due to an overdose. He wasn't diagnosed with depression or anything like that but problems with work and finance just got too much for him. I'm not going to go too far into it because I want my blog to be as happy and upbeat as possible. It was hard for a while and it still is hard but I'm taking comfort in the fact that my much loved Dad is now in heaven with God. 

Suicide is all to common and I plan to make people know that suicide does not make a person a coward or week. My Dad was strong until the very end. 

On a brighter note, I'm an English teacher!  No joke!  A friend of mine that lives in Thailand is friends with the Head of English at a small school in the Hill tribe village of Khao Kho. Within a week of living in Thailand, my husband and I were in Khao Kho with a job and a rent free home! Jackpot! Thank you Lord.

REVIEW- Coral Colours Loose Translucent Powder

Time for my first ever makeup review! Coral Colours is an often overlooked Australian makeup brand. I don't hear much about them but I have tried a mascara, blush, lip gloss and powder from them and they are awesome products. This powder is my holy grail setting powders for my foundation and concealer. I really do not like using powders with colour in them because I find they make my face look cakey no matter how little amount of product I use. But I think I am going to start using colour powders because tragically, this powder and my ELF translucent powder are almost empty and both these brands are not available in Thailand :( This powder is an amazing powder. I can use as much or as little as I want and it does not make my makeup look cakey. Even on days when I don't use a primer, translucent powder, especially this one still makes my makeup last all day! And this is in hot, Thailand climate! Rating- 10/10 Love the stuff! And as soon as I could, I would...

Introducing Miss Ruby Chadu.....

I am so sorry I have been so missing in action! But I had a baby! YAY!  Ruby Elizabeth Chadu was born at 3.17am by emergency Caesarean on Saturday the 26th of March 2016 (2 days early), weighing 7lb 3oz and measuring 50cm. So, I was induced on the Friday due to mild pre-eclampsia. Even though it was only mild, the doctors wanted to get my baby out as soon as possible before it got too dangerous. So I went into hospital at 8.00pm on Friday and got the first let of gel put in at 9.00pm. They told me that the second lot of gel would be done at 3.00am then they would break my waters at 8.00am. Well, I didn't even get to the second lot of gel. My waters broke themselves at 1.30am, despite the nurses saying nothing would happen for quite a while.  Despite my waters breaking, I was only 2cm dilated even though the contractions were so strong and close together by this point.  At about 2.00am, I passed out and had had a sudo seizure (possibly due to the pre-eclampsia). Th...

Not The Perfect Life...

A lot of times when I upload photos to my facebook, a lot of people comment on how happy I look all the time. This is not meant as a depressing post but please do not assume my life is picture perfect and that I am happy all the time.  I miss my home country. I miss my family. I cry. I argue with my husband (what marriage doesn't have arguments?). I miss my Dad. Of course I do have happy times but this is not all the time. Not a depressing post. Just want to make sure people understand.
