Major body envy and a personal hair achievement!

I have wasted today. I should be revising for my university exams, but who would do that when there's so much to distract oneself with on the internet? =]

I have a morning internet routine - a number of websites which I like to peruse while eating breakfast, getting ready etc - one of these is the rather trashy yet delicious cocoperez.com.

During this morning's gander, I stumbled across these photos and developed some serious body envy courtesy of the beautiful Miranda Kerr.

She is quite clearly absolutely bloody gorgeous - check out those legs, the abs, the tan!

No wonder she's a Victoria's Secret Angel.

I find myself wishing I looked half as good as the lovely Miranda, especially with summer (read: bikini time, oh god no) fast approaching.

The boyfriend, however, says she's far too skinny.

There seems to be a massive gap between what women want to look like and what men prefer women to look like (generalisation, I know, but still). According to the press and many an article in women's magazines and online: Men prefer curves.

Hopefully I can get somewhere close to a happy medium.

Now, onto the hair...

I have never been able to master a french plait, neither on myself or friends.

My hair is usually up in a ponytail/bun or hanging loose. Yes I'm lazy.

However, here's what I came up with this morning:

A french plait of all things! Albeit a slightly messy one (having been worn all day) but still a personal hair achievement nevertheless. I was very proud of myself =].

Talk to you soon!
