LIFE SWEETS // ♥ melanie martinez meet & greet ♥


Early last month I was jumping up and down because Melanie Martinez was doing a little meet & greet and was going to play a few songs in the queen st mall, in Brisbanes CBD. My lovely Ben came along as he was the one who introduced me to Mealines music (on our first date actually ). So we drove to the station & caught the train in, after  a long wait in 38 degree heat she played three songs and then we all lined up to meet her, the line went on forever and I was lucky enough to get in before they had to stop as they ran out of time. I recently did a flash sheet themed to her new album (which I loved and have listen to so much) and showed her, so nervous lil me hands over my drawings and Melanie tells me how amazing they are and literally made my day! Haha it's so funny how you can get so nervous to show your art to the person who inspired it. I wonder if thats how they feel about their music. All in all it was a wonderful day with Ben, having a lunch date and enjoying Brisbane.

LIFE SWEETS // Bikki & Bento Anniversary.

Two years ago on Christmas eve I met Ben, little did I know after that first magical date
I would of found a man who'll change my whole life.
The way I see things, the way I go about things.
He is honestly one of the best things to come into my life and I'm so grateful every day That I get to be in love with my best friend. We go to the same restaurant for the past three christmas eves and had an adventure date full of different activities. Bowling, garden walks, mount cootha look out kisses. I'm a lucky lady that's for sure. 









For our anniversary last year I made a photo book to look back at our first year together & This year I did the same and I called it Bento & Bikki volume two (our nicknames for each other)


 First page of the book sums up everything perfectly



I Also framed some of my favourite photos of the val I have taken
I love how they look with the selfie of us two between them.


To sum it up, it was such a magical start to the festive season. 
I'm one lucky lady. 
Love you bento!

ADVENTURE // road trip

In October, the light of my life & I traveled from Brisbane Down to Chopped. 
(previous post full of chopped pictures)

We took our time and took two weeks doing 5 or so hours each day and stopping to enjoy the scenery as we went a long the way. Getting to hang out with your best friend for two weeks straight is amazing and we really learnt a lot more about each other and fell in love more which is the best feeling. I saw parts of Australia I had never seen, fields of flowers, beautiful rivers, long roads and empty buildings.  Ben took me to the town he grew up in and took me on a date to the movies which was so beautiful inside (we even got an upgrade to extra large popcorn because he knew the man working hehe). Spent a day in Melbourne and used the old photobooth at the train station. Ben and I are already talking about our next trip.This post will be image heavy so I hope you enjoy the lil look inside my favourite holiday so far.  











& if you got through them all, THAT'S A WRAP!

REVIEW // SODA SWEETHEARTS



So yesterday was my birthday (woo! more on that soon!) But whats a better way to spend it than trying on these wonderful hair pieces from soda sweethearts. Soda Sweethearts is a newer hair piece company by the wonderfully sweet & talented Holly. Each piece is custom made with so much sweetness you can see it! Every flower is arranged thoughtfully and attached on back with felt and a sturdy large clip these babies are not going anywhere once placed in your hair!(just what i want hehe!) She has a new range of christmas pieces which would be perfect for the festive season! 

They came in a little box via snail mail, wrapped in pink tissue paper with a sweet lil note! The box made sure they came to their new home safely. And there was even a packet of fairy floss in there for me to  nibble on while writing this hehe.

She does custom orders too! so I'd swing on over as fast as you can and snap some of these cuties up!

I received three wonderful pieces by Holly, a lil orchard clip & two big flower arrangement pieces.


Make sure to like the wonderful business on 
Facebook page
& to check out the
etsy




 The three beautiful pieces & the yummy fairy floss.



 This lil orchard clip is beautiful for everyday wear.

The first of the two larger pieces is this beautiful purple piece, i love the hint of whites.




 The second is this pink,orange,white and baby blue piece with large leafs to off set it, these colour work in harmony with each other and I think look amazing in my orange hair.
It actually suited my tea cake dress perfectly! I love when things match perfectly.




(How long has my hair gotten?? so great mermaid status here we come!)

Adventures // Greazefest.



Hey all you cuties, I'm back I've had a lot of personal things going on but I'm all back on the saddle now. This past weekend was Greazefest one of the best kustom kulture events in Australia. It's a tradition for Mum and I to go, but was very happy to take my Mr and my dad as well.

Funny story, last year I was getting my photo in front of some hot rods at last years greazefest and a few months ago I was going through them and none other than my boyfriend Ben is in the background of the photos. I even took a photo of his Val as he was driving away because I loved it. Goes to show you, you never know who'll you'll meet and how important a then stranger will become in your life.

This year was a lot of fun, we went on the Sunday full of wonderful hotrods, beautiful ladies and gents, bikes, food, stalls It's seriously a blast. I ran into so many illustrator friends I know so it was a wonderful time to catch up with friends as well.

If it's not obvious now, but I adore pink so this car was a must for a few pictures.



I love love LOVEEEE cars with typography on them, they work so well on pick ups.





Myself and my Mr, being silly at the start of the day. It's wonderful making wonderful memories. Too bad these memories were also reminded with terrible sunburn on my chest. Must remember sunscreen next time silly me.
