Kiss The Berry


The other day I went with my friend Maddi to Kiss The Berry, which is a lovely cafe located in South Bank just along the river. They specialise in acai bowls which are super healthy and delicious. I got the Snickers Delight which has cacao on top, and let me tell you I licked that bowl clean.


For $11.50 I'd definitely say it's worth it. I also love how they've decorated the place with a wall of plants and wooden accents. It attracts a lot of younger people and is a super relaxed place to chill.


After finishing our bowls we decided to go shopping in the city, and jumped on a bus because it was waay to hot to walk along the bridge. I may have gone a little bit crazy with the shopping and spent more than I should have. Ah well, there goes last week's pay. Does anyone else have an addiction to shopping?! I make up these imaginary scenarios in my head which justify me buying something.


I got a new nail file from Sportsgirl ($5), that has a lovely floral print on the back, as well as a silver necklace ($30) that will go with anything. We popped into Peter Alexander and I fell in love with the pink slippers! They were only $19 so I decided to grab them and they are so so soft. At the end we wandered around looking at makeup and I picked up a Mac lipstick in Velvet Teddy that everyone has been talking about, so I finally gave in and bought it. The last thing I bought that I'm still trying to justify to myself, are a pair of tweezers from Mecca for $40! They are really good quality but looking back I probably shouldn't have gotten them since I'm trying to save money. Last but not least I went to Topshop and picked up the cropped ribbed tee that I've seen quite a few people wearing, and for $18 I decided to buy one in every colour hehe. Thanks to anyone reading, I'm really enjoying blogging so far. It's been a bit hectic as I'm apartment hunting at the moment, but I'm so excited to move out. I'll make sure to blog about it too!

Hi, Welcome To My Blog

I'm so excited to be starting a new blog this year! What better time to start than the new year. Hi, my name is Ailsa! It's a Scottish name pronounced "ale-sa", in case you were wondering. I'm from Brisbane, Australia and am nineteen years old. (I'm mildly frightened at turning twenty this year.) I've had a few blogs in the past but failed to update them due to the stress of school and laziness. But now that I'm in my third year out of high school I feel like I want to make a real effort and document some of the things I get up to. I'm moving out of home next month and that is another reason I wanted to start a blog again, as I'm starting this next chapter of my life. The url I have is a nickname my mum gave me when I was younger. I'm not sure what exactly I will blog about, and could be anything from a beauty post to where I went to eat for lunch. I keen to start posting. But in the meantime please don't hesitate to say hi because who doesn't love making new buddies?!
