Nicki Minaj is at the top of her game right now and has a few multiple personalities that she uses in her music. So I want to know which one is your favorite? I love Nicki’s music, she has crazy talent. I have a lot of respect for woman that can rap and sing, and can do both as equally well.
Her 3 main personalities are Nicki, Barbie and Roman. Nicki is more street, Barbie is soft and sweet and Roman has bad ass attitude! They each have their own style and sound, so who is your favorite?
Over the weekend Ben and I headed up to Whangarei for our good friends Pedey and Taryn’s engagement pool party. I had such an amazing time spending time in the sun and hanging out with quality people!
I thought I would share a few of my photos from the weekend with you all 
Went out cruising in Taryn’s sweet mx5 iheartstance.com
A solid Kiwi breakfast!
The most amazing pool EVA!!
On Sunday we went to Whale Bay, it is so beautiful there.
At Taryn’s family home they have heaps of chickens and they are all super friendly! Look at this one chilling out on Ben’s shoulder!
So this is the follow on from last weeks post “San Francisco Bay Cruise & Alcatraz Tour” Our time is San Francisco was really a chance for us to slow down and relax, well sort of we still did HEAPS of walking around.
In one week we managed to get quite a lot done. I really enjoyed not being on a time frame and getting a chance to see the city and eating lots amazing sea food! If you are going to San Fran really allow yourself time to just explore the city. It is such a beautiful place.
Valentine’s Day in my mind is one of the more awkward gift giving holidays but is still one I love to celebrate for a few reasons.
I have one rule for Valentine’s Day for the ladies… NEVER EVER send a guy flowers. They just don’t appreciate them and most guys feel totally emasculated getting flowers from their girl.
My advice is to use Valentine’s Day as a chance to spend some quality time with your other half. The consumer industry just wants you to spend spend spend, but nothing says I love you more than spending time together.
Its so easy to get caught up in the day to day busyness that it is so easy to forget to spend quality time together. If you live together just being around each other while you cook, clean and go about doing your evening tasks (In my case working on my blog) isn’t enough. Spending time together means removing the distractions and just focusing on each other. I am no relationship guru, but from what I have learnt from pervious experiences is that not communicating and spending time together will result in a relationship falling apart.
So here are a few ideas on things you could do without spending a lot of money:
Make it a bit romantic.
For those of you that haven’t found “Mr or Mrs. Right” don’t get caught up over it. Enjoy the time you have doing things that you want and being able to commit all your time to friends and family.
It’s been a little while since I shared some more photos with you from America, so I started sifting through all my pics from San Francisco. To be honest with you all it has made me a bit sad looking through all the photos. I miss being there so much!
While in San Francisco we did heaps of touristy stuff – seeing all the sites On one of the days we took a boat cruise around San Francisco Bay and then took another boat ride out to Alcatraz Prison for a tour.
We went on a Red and White cruise which took us under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz. While you are on the cruise you get given a headset so you can listen to some history about the city. It was really interesting, I love learn about different places!
This photo makes me giggle! That Seagull is such a bad ass going into the authorized personnel only area!
We are such hipsters with our sweet Ray Ban sunglasses!
The boat then took us around Alcatraz, all the buildings are really old and scary looking!
We went on a different boat that dropped us on “The Rock” to take the tour through Alcatraz. You get to walk round Alcatraz with a headset that explains how the prison was run and the history behind it. It was my first time every going into a prison so I was a little bit nervous. It is such a weird feeling going into a building where some of America’s most dangerous criminals where kept.
This is the view of San Fran City from Alcatraz Prison
This is one of the rooms that the prisoners escaped from. You can see where they removed the grate to climb out through the wall.
This is the prison yard, it might look familiar to you if you have ever watched the movie “Escape From Alcatraz”
Part two of San Fran coming soon
Last night we all made our way out to Malaeola Community Centre for the first part of Falgoon’s wedding. I spent all afternoon getting ready for my first India wedding. Here are a few photos of us all dressed up.
