Yuckiest beauty product ever!

OH MY GOD IT HAS HORSE PLACENTA AND YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DRINK IT

Promotes cellular metabolism; works from deep within to produce a firm, moist complexion; contains 30,000 mg of 100% undiluted horse-origin placenta. Realizes luxuriantly beautiful skin.

Replenishes nourishment to physically fatigued or exhausted bodies. Having no overt aroma the fresh flavor is easy to drink.

It’s bad enough that a product like this exists, but even worse that the black-label version with “placental material is harvested while the afterbirth is still potent” HAS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT.

You guys, this is so completely feral! Please tell me you think so too.

Bargain shopping tips

Who doesn’t love a bargain? I’m not a good shopper all the time; sometimes I end up paying way too much for something because I’m too lazy (or impatient) to make an effort to save some pennies. But I wanted to share some of my fave bargain shopping tips, because what’s the point of keeping bargains a secret?

Have you got a bargain shopping tip to share? Tell us about it in the comments!

shopping-lasooLasoo.com.au: This is a relatively new web site (it won Best New Site in NetGuide Magazine’s 2008 Web Awards) that displays specials from current catalogues around Australia. The search interface is really easy to use and content can be localised to make search results relevant. You can also subscribe to their newsletter for the latest catalogues, bargains and competitions. Caroline’s shopping blog is also worth checking out, she covers all things pretty and ugly and everything else in between.

shopping-appliancesAppliances Online: I discovered this site a couple of years ago literally by googling the model number of the washing machine I wanted. The fridge and front-loader washing machine we bought through Appliances Online ended up saving us over $450 on our total purchase based on RRP. From what I’ve discovered, Appliances Online is the web-front for Winnings Appliances in Alexandria (it was a Winnings truck that delivered my wonderful whitegoods). Delivery is free in the Sydney metro area and I just got a quote for Melbourne delivery of $20 per order. Next-day delivery is offered if they have stock ready to roll out their door to yours.

shopping-amazoncaAmazon.ca: Because of the exchange rate, it can be cheaper for Aussies to buy from Amazon Canada compared to Amazon.com. At the moment the saving isn’t huge because of “current economic climate”, rest assured that when the Aussie dollar is better against the greenback Amazon Canada is the place to shop! I’m hoping our dollar improves soon so I can buy the Season 8 Will and Grace boxset.

shopping-ozbargainOzBargain: This site has gone gangbusters in recent months with lots and lots of new bargains posted every day. Personally I find it hard to not feel swamped by all the listings, but I have it on good authority that subscribing to OzBargain’s RSS feed is an easy way to keep up with the bargain goss. Our coffee machine only exists in our kitchen because it was listed on OzBargain one Saturday morning!

Rainbow House of Awesomeness

Look you guys, I found the most colourful house that has ever existed:

rainbowhouse1

(Yes, this is a REAL house)

So, I’ve been fantasy house-hunting recently — checking out houses in Sydney’s inner-west that we could afford if we had a decent deposit. But, we don’t have the aforementioned deposit, hence the “fantasy” aspect of the house-hunting.

Suddenly, a listing caught my eye, described as a “spunky semi”. Worth a look, yeah?

OH MY GOD IT TOTALLY WAS!

rainbowhouse2

Check out those insane colours — and the curtains! This house is amazing and I. WANT. IT.

It really looks like something from Willy Wonka or one of those retro homewares shops. Like I said on Twitter: “ imagine being high in that house…oh wait, I wouldn’t have to.”

And every time I look at these photos, I see something new. A cat tree! Duck-shaped cupboard-handles! Lounge chairs shaped like hands! A matching scooter in the backyard!

rainbowhouse3

No really, there IS a matching scooter in the backyard:

rainbowhouse4

I was once described in a magazine as “bright and colourful and loves all things fun” and I have a rainbow tattooed on my tailbone. I also discovered that this house is a mere 2 blocks from where we lived for the first seven years that we lived in Sydney. I think it’s fate that this house and I are meant to be together.

I’m seriously considering going along to the auction (Saturday March 28th at 1.30pm!) to see how much the house sells for AND WHO DARE TAKETH MY DREAM HOUSE AWAY FROM ME.

Who wants to come with me? x
