Blistex

I just love Blistex! I’ve used the tub one, another one that doesn’t even seem to be on the website – a purple tube and tonight I bought the Lip Infusion Moisture Splash. It’s glossy and moisturising and it has a metal roll on ball that’s all cold on your lips. I like it! What […]

Cookie crumbled

18 March 2007 by kristarella

Our washing machine broke… they’re expensive to buy! At least my Pop gave us this one, we can probably afford one more now than we could when we first got married.

Satisfying!

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
