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?

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!

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.

We spent a lot of time at Pier 39 (mainly eating) While we were there we found this amazing chocolate shop! I got a bit excited

Sunbathing

Ben and I hired a Tandem bike and to ride over the Golden Gate Bridge! It was so much fun and such a beautiful day!

What do you think of them?

1. I LOVE giving gifts and spoiling people, especially my boyfriend!
2. Valentine’s Day 2 years ago Ben and I started dating. Well the “One Month Limit” started then. For those of you that don’t know what the “One Month Limit” is, watch this space I will be blogging about it soon

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:

1. Pack a Picnic – put together some yummy snacks and head out to the beach or park to watch the sunset and the stars come out. (Don’t forget to back a blanket to wrap up in)
2. Massage – I’m not talking about a 5 minute massage, light some candles, put some rose petals on the bed. Make it a bit romantic.
3. Cook Dinner – for those of you that live in New Zealand you know that our weather isn’t always permitting for doing things outdoors! So why not cook your partner’s favorite meal, light some candles, dim the lights and have a romantic dinner for two!
4. Breakfast In Bed – everybody loves this, and it’s such a great way to start the day. It will have your other half leaving for work with a big smile on their face
5. Flowers – guys, girls love getting flowers. Especially getting them delivered while they are at work for everyone to see, it will make every girl feel special  

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.

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

Taryn from iheartstance and I.

Indian Boy Band!!

This is what it looks like when they first put it on. You let this dry and put lemon juice on it to stop it from cracking.

After a few hours you scratch the black stuff off and it looks like this!

My favorite covers are Teenage Dream by Katy Perry and We Found Love by Rihanna. Both of these songs take on a whole new life when you remove all the generic backing music and just having the piano, it totally changes the song.

I thought I would share them with you all because they are just so interesting to look at, I want to touch them! You can purchase them from Solestruck, unfortunately they are a $1,000 pair of shoes! Dreams are free
