I LOVE MOOCHI.

I have decided that I will use this space today to declare my love Moochi. "What is Moochi?" I hear you asking from behind your computer screen. Uhmm no big deal-JUST THE MOST AMAZING FROZEN YOGURT AND TOPPING IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE AND IT'S SURROUNDINGS. 

For the best and most accurate description of Moochi's insane amazingness, I took to their official Twitter page. They describe it as "Natural frozen yogurt goodness and a guilt free desert". For now, let's forget that their official Twitter page HASN'T spelt dessert "desert" so it sounds like they're talking about a guilt free sandy landscape. The yogurt and the toppings are so completely amazing, and what's better is that YOU FEEL SOMEWHAT HEALTHY WHEN YOU'RE EATING IT BECAUSE IT'S YOGURT AND NOT ICE CREAM! It's a win-win.

My love affair with Moochi began last week when my co-worker was telling me about it and came back to the store with a large one for me. It had coconut and mango flavoured frozen yogurts, with granola and strawberries as toppings. It was love at first sight. #NOREGRETS.

I hope you are all doing well AND that if you live in Australia, you had a pleasant and chill 'Straya Day. I sure did.

Love,

The one where Chloe tries new things

So there I was, sitting in a very nice Italian restaurant with my grandparents and Phoebe, when I was about to say my order to the waiter.
Phoebe: What are you getting Chloe?
Me: My default Italian order. Spag Bol. Ya know it brah.
Phoebe: Are you joking? Get something else for once? 2013 IS ABOUT TRYING NEW THINGS.
Me:
Phoebe:
Me: OKAY OKAY I'LL GET THE FETTUCCINE.

The dialogue above and my actions that followed it are significant for two key reasons. Firstly, I never order anything at Italian other than Spag Bol. It's just what I do. Secondly, the Fettuccine had a mushroom sauce. Anyone who knows me well knows that Chloe and Mushrooms have had a long-running biff since birth. And I ordered a dish with mushroom sauce. I think I deserve some kind of medal or something.

In other news:
1. I saw the movie 'Hitchcock' that same night with my Grandparents. As amazing as the acting performances were, it just wasn't memorable. It was well made, but when it ended and the credits began to roll I wasn't sitting there thinking "WOW MIND BLOWN ZOMG! SAH AMAZING LIFE CHANGED"
2. I started my new job today! IT IS SO MUCH FUN. It went by so fast that before I knew it my first shift was over, and I am now sitting at home awaiting my pasta bake (currently in the oven-yes, I figured out how to turn it on) and Sex and The City.

Things I have done since my last update

1. Gotten obsessed with The West Wing. Phoebe became addicted to it a couple of weeks ago and has been nagging me to watch it ever since. Two nights ago I finally caved in and watch the first episode...and now I can't stop watching it. It is TOO fantastic. There should be some sort of medication to help people like Phoebe and I who cannot physically stop ourselves watching it.
2. I have been applying for other jobs since General Pants finished up last week, and I have a final interview today/sorting out paperwork for a new job this afternoon so I think this is a good sign! Fingers crossed.
3. I went on an adventure to my boyfriend's hometown for a visit. It was pretty spontaneous (by my standard's anyway), and I must say I felt pretty excited/awesome/independent/totes mature as I made my way across the CountryLink platforms at Central Station to get on board the train for the three hour journey. I had a great time-I really do love going on adventures-especially when your company is a pretty awesome person ;).
4. I've started having baths again. It all started last week when I was really stressed out and the next minute I had hopped into the burning hot bath (I love burning hot baths and showers by the way). Since then I have been having them every night, with my pink fluffy dressing gown waiting for me when I step out, and a sign on the door saying "CHLOE IN BATH-DO NOT DISTURB". 
5. I'm obsessed with Bircher Museli. I don't know what it is about it but I cannot stop eating it at Edmonds and Greer and it is like a daily punch to my bank account.

I hope you all are enjoying this lovely weather (if you live in Sydney anyway!).
Muchos love,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I looked at the date on my phone today as I rolled out of bed...to see that it is already eight days into the new year! After thinking to myself how fast the first few days of this year have gone, my next thought was "I HAVEN'T UPDATED FLOWER GIRL SINCE LAST YEAR!". I felt like a bad mother, so here I am. Lots has happened so I shall pick the best bits that will (hopefully, fingers crossed) interest you all.

1. NYE: New Years Eve for 2012 has nestled up the top of the list of my favourite NYE's ever. Phoebe, Eleni, ma boyfwend and I headed into Pyrmont to meet friends. We attempted to pack some sort of picnic-thing that consisted of champagne, cider, cheese, biscuits, a loaf of olive bread, and beach towels (we couldn't find a picnic rug so these were the next best thing). I didn't know what the view of the Harbour Bridge would be like from the park we were going to, and when we arrived I was BLOWN AWAY (half because of the view, and half because of the wind which was a constant reminder that I should have worn a jumpsuit instead of a dress). We got there in the late afternoon, and our company was so great that time FLEW and before we knew it, the 9.00pm fireworks were going off. Time flew even faster after that, and it wasn't long before it was thirty minutes until the new year, and I found myself saying goodbye to 2012. All thoughts going on in my head soon made way for excitement when the countdown started, followed by the most EPIC fireworks....and midnight kiss (I was dipped back so far that my sunnies fell off #truestory). We then hung around a bit, walked to Central Station, and headed home to snuggle up in bed for the first time in 2013.

2. TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB: What can I say about this...except that it was probably one of the BEST POSSIBLE WAYS TO START 2013! We lined up to be at the front of the mosh, however greatly regretted doing so at the start of Jungle Giants (the first supporting act). There are psycho moshes, then there was this mosh. I couldn't even hear the music as I was TRYING SO HARD TO STAY ALIVE! Following this act, we danced on the edges of the mosh (where we could breath). I've never heard any music by The Vaccines before, and I was pleasantly surprised-it was really fun. Then, at 10.00pm, TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB CAME ON STAGE. It was so crazy hearing live both the songs that got me through my last year of high school AND the songs from Beacon which defined my first year of university. Two Door live exceeded every single expectation and I had a BLAST. I've attached a video below of where I was (not my video though!).

3. APPLYING: I have spent the last couple of days emailing just about every single advertising agency there is in Sydney asking about internships/work experience. Fingers (and toes) crossed!

I am now sitting at home bracing myself for the heat wave that's supposed to hit Sydney in roughly thirty four minutes. It's supposed to hit 43 degrees, and this means that it is too hot to walk and get coffee #sadness. I hope you all have a splendid day, and we shall speak again soon.

Until then,
Chloe x
