I have been excited about the Colour Run since this time last year when I missed out on the registration! I started to really love going to charity runs because each time is an experience and an accomplishment, my first ever was the Melbourne Run, and since then I have tried my best to join and train whenever I can to run.
My aim is to be able to do a half marathon by this time next year - it sounds like a really long time to train, but realistic goals are better then unachievable ones!

The Colour Run is often deemed as the craziest most fun you will have in 5km's- and I agree completely!! However under all the fun it is nice to know that it supports a charity founded by Swisse whom founded the Celebrate Life Foundation, which supports and manages the contributions from the even to the nominated charities across Australia.
I call this "Party for a Purpose!" Have fun with friends, Support a charity! Its definitely a win win situation.



Behold the BEFORE pics with crisp white tshirts!

Side Note; I made a conscious effort to be extremely pink by the end of it!! Thank you to the lovely girl at PINK  station whom showered me in pink!! haha

Do you drink 8 glasses of water per day?  I am definitely guilty of not always drinking enough water; and I am sure (just from observations of my work colleagues) that a lot of people are neglecting this very important aspect of our lives - staying hydrated. 


Here is the              101 on Water...

Water is an essential part of life, filled with minerals and electrolytes. It carries nutrients and materials such as blood cells around the body. 
Humans lack the capacity to retain water as storage and therefore it is essential to consume water regularly and throughout the day. When your body is dehydrated, it causes deposits of toxic sediments in the tissue spaces, joints, kidneys, liver, brain and skin!

There are varying views on whether water can give your skin an "instant glow"; and personally I believe that we aren't plants and we do not 'perk' up instantly with glowing skin when we drink water. 
However, staying hydrated each day, has in the past helped in clearing pimples/acne and dryness on my skin. 
That's because water oxygenates your blood and flushes toxins 
This ensures your body functions adequately, water removes toxins from your kidney, allowing cells to take nutrition and expel waste. If there is a lack of water, then waste will collect and your immune system will work less effectively. 
Water enables toxins and waste to be expelled, hence you get better looking skin. 

Drink Up Guys! 

Colour Theory launched around October 2013, and it is Australian owned. Apparently there are over 90 products in this range and the price point of the products are quite low.

So while back I was super sick, and was at an Amcal pharmacy after a doctors appointment waiting for the phamacist to dispense my meds when I saw the Colour Theory Display.
I was especially drawn to the nail polish because it was only $4!


I couldn't decide which colour to use! So i used them on! I can't get over how absolutely gorgeous the colours are!
My new love however has got to be the It's a Girl colour! Pink is definitely my favourite colour.

Some of you may have read my Pimples vs Penny post and saw the Hanaka Charcoal Mask (aka Blackhead Pore White Mask) And it is a mask I absolutely love! 

Do you have a favourite can't-live-without mask?
