Me? I had the bestest week away with my high school friends on a road trip to Torquay (2 hours away from Melbourne CBD). We spent 4 days, 3 nights at a friend of a friend's AMAZING beach house which was about 5 minutes walk to the beach! Torquay was good to us, having the most incredible weather for all four days!
Day One: Monday, 21°
Started with me picking everyone up and convincing my friend's parents in two different languages to let my friend go on this roadtrip (which actually took two hours), luckily it worked ahahahaUnfortunately for my friends who had to listen to my iPod in the car, much of it involved the new One Direction album...LOL I have no shame in admitting I am a 1D fan (dude, good looking English boys in a boy band = ♥♥♥). Anyway, by the end of the trip I had successfully converted everyone and they were singing along in the car too hehe.
When we arrived at Torquay after doing all the shopping, we decided to go for a joyride around the neighbourhood and holy mother, the houses down there are SO INCREDIBLE! We also saw SO MANY wild rabbits roaming around! Here are some instagram pics of that joyride :

Rules of VS Fashion Show Drinking Game:
1. Drink when you hear Miranda Kerr's Australian accent (Miranda Kerr makes us proud to be Australian)
2. Drink when the model interacts with the singer/band/performer
3.Drink when there is a wardrobe malfunction
4. Drink when the outfit is actually fugly (debatable, but its funny debating when you're drunk)
5. Drink when the model looks awfully uncomfortable (including her walk)
6. Drink when you feel sorry for yourself at any point of the show
Our beach house also had a "pond"
Day Two: Tuesday, 27°
Even though there were four bedrooms with queen size beds in the house, we all decided to bunk in the one room with a queen bed and a single bunk above (I got the top bunk!). Woke up at a strangely normal time, we made pancakes before walking down the beach. The beach we went to wasn't the main beach at Torquay, but it was empty and quite lovely!

Day Three: Wednesday, 31°
We decided to drive down to the Surf Coast Beach in Torquay, which was a 10 minute drive from the beach house and it was there we found ALL the people lol. There were so many schoolies kids around, we felt kind of old ahaha. Nonetheless, the beach was SO incredible on such a hot day! The water was like being in a wave pool, great for all those first-timers at surfing! I finally managed to get my tan on for the first time all summer, and actually I burnt my sculpt...lol. it hurt.

Day Four: Thursday, 34°
We managed to pull an all nighter on the last night and decided to see the sun rise in the morning at about 5am before having 3 hours of sleep, packing up and heading home. So now, I can cross see the sun rise off my bucket list! It was so great to get away with these girls for awhile, defs something we should do more often! ;)
Anyway Christmas is around the corner, which means more shifts for me at Village! I'm working 5 days in a row (which has NEVER happened before) and I'm working Christmas Eve and Boxing Day the week after (YAY Double Pay)!! Hope the Christmas shopping isn't TOO bad for you! If you're stuck on ideas, try a Village Cinema Gift Card ;)
