A few days home in the Sunshine state :)

Well things have been rather busy with castings in the lead up to Sydney's annual Rosemount Fashion week but I decided to come home for a for days to have a little bit of down time before things really start to get busy!! I always love coming home to my family on the Gold Coast...I haven't seen them since Christmas and its just the best feeling coming back to my hometown where I grew up. I have caught up with a few of my close friends and although I don't get to see them as often as I would like to it makes the time that I do spend with them even more valuable :)
The next few months are going to be really busy so I will try to keep to blog as much as possible and even post some backstage pictures from Fashion week and Miss Universe Australia heats...
Sweet dreams, I am off to bed.

What a whirlwind week I have had! Last Wednesday I flew to Townsville to be apart of the Fashion Bash and the Rachael Finch Rising star awards. I was surrounded by so many young people who had aspirations to work in either the entertainment or fashion industry - it was so inspiring to see so many young kids so passionate about their futures. I compeered two of the 4 events and really enjoyed being up and stage and being an MC...it was different to TV presenting because I had to get it right the first take and didnt have the safety of being able to cut the camera rolling or fix my mistakes up in post production editing. It kept me on my toes and I felt that I rose to the challenge!!
Another exciting aspect of my trip was the chance to meet and work with current Miss Universe Australia Rachael Finch, she is such an amazing individual and I was very inspired by her story and acheivments!!

Between flying to Townsville, Uni assignments and Fashion week castings I also had the first round of Miss Universe Australia...Well, I am very excited to say that I made it through to the next Heat on May 8th. There were so many beautiful girls, inside and out, it is an honour to be apart of the next round.

A sunny Saturday in Sydney!

I got up this morning to a beautiful sunny day here in Sydney. The harbour was looking expectionally blue and the sun made the opera house almost unbearably white! So I put on my running gear and prepared to go for a morning run. But somewhere between opening my blinds and seeing what a beautiful day it was and putting on my runners, a wave of laziness came over me. Suddenly I couldnt be bothered exercising or evening leaving my apartment!! So I gave my friend and fellow actor from my classes a call. Twenty minutes later we were on our way and running around Sydney's botanical gardens...and boy am I glad I didnt succumb to my laziness!! There is something invigorating about exercising in the mornings, I find it sets the mood for my day. No matter how tired or unmotivated I feel before I start, at the end I feel full of energy and ready to take on the day ahead of me. xx

A 1st for everything!

I must admit that I was a little apprehensive about beginning an online blog. It seems that in this age ruled by technology I was the only who wasn't involved in the world of blogging! But notheless I have decided to create this blog. Why? Well that's something that I am still not so sure about myself. I suppose the idea was planted in my mind because whoever I meet tends to be really interested in what happens in the industry that I work in and I often get younger people asking me for advice about entering the modelling or film and Tv scene.

I have read other people's blogs and through reading about their experiences I have learnt something new or interesting. I hope that this blog is entertaining and interesting for the people who read it and that someone, even if it is only one person, can find something in my posts that answers a question they may have, whether it be about the fashion or Tv industry or life in general. There is always a 1st for everything and I figured I have nothing to loose...
Enjoy and Welcome to my world xx
