Meet Tucker

Hi Everyone,
This week I thought I would introduce you to my dog Tucker. We called him Tucker because when he was a puppy and he was having his food (tucker) he would lift his back legs off the ground because he was so excited.

He is about 8 years old now and is a Jack Russell crossed with a Schnauzer. He is very cute and loves cuddles and gets very excited whenever we have visitors or whenever we come home after being out! he loves people.

His favorite thing to do is to go in the car, all you have to do is put your shoes on and he will be out waiting by the car door to get in.

He can be a bit of  a weirdo sometimes I quite often wonder what goes through his head.

One of his favorite toys is a homemade one. When we put some of his edible treats in a small box or egg carton and tape it up. he goes crazy and won't stop digging and trying to get it open until he succeeds. So for Christmas last year we gave him this as his present with wrapping paper and everything and he loved it. Here is a video of him unwrapping it. (I hope it works)

Do you have any pets? What is their favorite toy?

Autumn/Fall Haul

Hi Everyone,
Since it has become Autumn, I have felt that I havn't had many basic pieces of clothing for this time of year, which is sometimes warm and sometimes not so. So, over the past few weeks I have picked up a few bits to help my wardrobe be more Autumn like and also not so black.

I'll go through each piece and tell you where I got it from. I was bargain hunting so a lot of it was on sale. These items are all pretty cheap as I don't have much money at the moment and wanted things to go with my more expensive pieces. Also, most of these are Australian shops so I'm sorry if you cant get them where you are.

So here is what I got:

This top came from Kmart. I really like this shirt as it has a bit of chiffon on the bottom which is different and floaty and soft. I can wear it open or done up, giving me two different looks. Also from Kmart is this cute horse scarf. I love this as I'm a horsey girl and I like the colours, navy and cream, I think they go with alot.

Next, I got a really cute sweatshirt with Micky Mouse on it which was actually from the mens section at Myer, its by a brand called Kenji. I think it will be great with jeans or tights or even a pencil skirt for going out. You could dress it up or down if you liked.

Then, I just got a few plain singlets in army green, white and a burgundy colour I forgot to photograph the burgundy one as I was wearing it haha, but I have it on with the scarf and shirt if you would like to see the colour, I'm really loving this colour at the moment. They were from Ally.

I got this Green Bay Pakers long singlet top from Cotton On, I'm not sure how im going to wear this yet but I really liked it and it was on sale, and I think I will like wearing it. Also, from Cotton On I got a pale blue lace pencil skirt which is lovely and soft and just a really nice skirt on. The bottom part has no lining so it is just lace.

I also got this black dress I wasn't sure about it in the shop but I got it cause it was only $2 from Supre. when I got home its actually really cute on and fits perfectly! There are lots of ways I could wear it too.

While I was at Supre I found this t shirt that I so love, it is such nice colours. Ive already worn it and got lots of compliments. It looks really square in the picture but looks much better on and when I wore it I put a knot in the side of it to give it more shape.

I just got a plain light brown cardi for $3 and a cream three quarter sleeved top for $1 both from Big W. I loved the price of these and they will be so handy.

Then I got the cutest shoes from the second hand shop! They had never been worn and were in perfect condition they are a bit old fashioned but I love that about them and think you can still make them look cool and modern. They were 1 dollar!

Last but not least I got a few pairs of socks. The dog ones are from Kmart for I think $1.50 and the other two were on sale at Factorie for $3 they are so cute.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I got for Autumn. I was thinking I might do a look book for Autumn or maybe Winter so let me know in the comments if you would like that.

Whats your go to fashion item?

Everyday Makeup

Hi Everyone, I hope you are having a good week. I have been very busy lately. I have just got a new job that I start next week which is very exciting. I have also had a couple of assignments due over the last week that I left till the last minute, oops.

In the last month I have also decided to start my own business through Nutrimetics. For those of you who don't know what, or who, Nutrimetics is they are a New Zealand and Australian based direct selling company which means you can't buy our products in the shops, only from a consultant (like me) or on our website. They sell skin care and makeup, the products are all natural with the only animal product in them being bees wax and honey other than that they are all plant based ingredients.
They do NOT test on animals at all, which I really like and they are lovely products and smell amazing.

Now you know a little about the company I thought I would demonstrate some for you. Today I'm going to show you a makeup I did the other day on myself. I took a before and after photo to show you the difference.

 Before:

 After:

What I used:
Foundation:  Cover Rich Moisturising Foundation in Porcelain with the Velvet Finish Mineral                                   Foundation Powder in Ivory
Blusher:        Marble Rouge in the colour Arial
Eye shadow: Marbleyes in Cosmos
Mascara:       Fibre Lash Enhancer with Lash Impact Mascara Black
EyeLiner:      Liquid Eye Definer
Lips:              Lip Lightning Lip Gloss in Blush

What do you think of the makeup? I love it !!!!
If you were interested in trying some of the Nutrimetics products and you live in Australia or New Zealand you can go to my website and have a look which is https://www.nutrimetics.com.au/hannahvanleeuwen/Home.aspx or if you live anywhere else but would still like to try some you can contact me via email which is redhairedbliss@gmail.com or any of my social media pages and I can help you out.

Thank you so much for reading my blog. I hope you love the look as much as I do. xx

Have you got a favorite makeup brand???

Happy Cake (Quick easy Chocolate Brownie)

Hi Everyone, 
This week I am going to do one of my favorite recipes.

My mum used to make this brownie if we were having visitors at short notice because it is so quick and easy and soooo yummy especially when you have it warm with ice cream.

All you need is: 

30cm round diameter microwave safe dish (greased)

2 Eggs 

100g Butter

¼ cup Cocoa

1 cup Sugar

1 ½ Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

5 drop Vanilla Essence

½ cup Chocolate Chips (optional)

Then just mix it all together until smooth and put in the microwave for 5 minutes.

I sifted all the dry ingredients just get rid of any lumps and also melted the butter to make it quicker than trying to mix in a big lump.

If you want to get creative you can cut out two circles and a crescent shape from baking paper and sprinkle with icing sugar to make a smiley face hence the Happy Cake name. You could also use a piece of lace for a pretty look. 

Whats you favorite recipe from your childhood?
