Who am I??

So who the hell is this alicia-jane person that's writing this blog I hear you ask??

Well my friends, alicia jane is me.. My dearest Dad came up with the name Alicia, and my middle name is named after my Mummy's best friend Jane.

I thought I would tell you a few random things about me so you have a bit of an idea of who I am. I'm probably going to reveal a bunch of embarrassing stuff so it will be worth sticking around for a laugh ;)

Ok lets go...

1. I'm about to turn 28 years old next Friday, the first day of winter.. (that's pretty boring, sorry)

2. Growing up I wanted to be a face painter and a mum. (Just sticking to the mum thing for now, but who knows what i could be doing next ;))

3. I love music and am currently obsessed with the song 'Alone' by Heart.. my poor kids ears must bleed after I belt that one out!! LOVE it!! Now if only i knew all the right words..

4. I have been hairdressing since I was 19 years old! I actually didn't do an apprenticeship but paid a lot of money to study full time for 1 year at Clip Joint Hairdressing academy in the city. I got a job at Hair House Warehouse Marion as a 4th year and got signed off two months after that.
The thing I love most about hairdressing is the talking (obviously) and making people pretty. I love being creative, being social, and meeting new people all at the same time. I cant decide if cutting or colouring is my fave I completely love doing both!! Oh, but I definitely ain't a fan of cutting kids hair.. those buggers just don't sit still!! Cant wait to get back into doing clients at home when I have this baby into a good sleeping pattern :) Fingers crossed guys.. seriously. Please.

5. One of my dreams is to be able to take my babies to Disney World one day! When the last baby is old enough to remember it and the oldest isn't too old for it (I don't actually think that could happen though, It is the happiest place on earth after all)

6. I have a daily routine of checking online - twitter, ninemsn news page, people (celeb gossip.. I'm a little obsessed with famous people, ask me anything I'm very up to date), currently realestate.com.au cause we are looking for a new house in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, I also have about 10 different blogs that I check each day (alot of them have inspired me to start my very own) and of course when I still don't want to get off the computer I browse my love, Pinterest!! LOVE it!! I just pin pin pin, love the inspiration I get from seeing all of those beautiful images, but I do really have to remember to go back and look at what I have pinned and actually do a few of those tutorials I seem to love.

7. Ok this is a big one, I seriously have kept this a pretty big secret in my life but I'm feeling like it was long enough ago now so that I can just look back at it and laugh.. I did tell my husband (we were getting married I thought I had to!! The guilt was KILLING me!!)  but he was sworn to secrecy.. a few times he has tried to bring it up in front of other people to tease me about it, but he sees my eyes start to tear up straight away and thankfully changes his mind about sharing it..

I. auditioned. for. Australian. Idol.....  Yes, yes I did.

It was the second year, just after my Guy Sebastian (who i think, has the voice of an angel) won the first season and my high school bestie, who shall remain nameless in case she decides to sue me, was an amazing singer but wouldn't try out unless I went with her.. So i did what any best friend would do.. I went along just to humour her. I had never in my life sung in front of anyone seriously before. I LOVE to sing, And I sing alllllll the time! I just don't think I'm very good at it, actually my close friends and family told me repeatedly I'm not the best at it, but I was brave and had a go.. we waited in line for 11 eleven hours (I'm not joking) and sung in front of 4 random people that weren't the famous judges on the tv show, for 30 seconds each and then were told no sorry, you are not what we are looking for.. Great thanks!! It was the best day ever.. NOT!

It does feel kinda good to let this out actually. Blog therapy is working a treat already!! :)

For those interested I sang the Tina Arena version of 'show me heaven' hehehe I really did.

8. I'm obsessed with The Block at the moment! I love love love Sophie and Dale and their style. I'm secretly hoping my hubby will become interested in distressing old furniture and Ive even been trying to talk him into wanting an electric sander for Christmas! Of course he wants a PlayStation game instead.

9. I'm not a morning person. I'm also not a night owl. I really like my sleep and if I don't get enough, I'm really grumpy. Lets hope this baby sleeps well early on :)

10. I love Baths. I sometimes put candles around it to relax and my baby girl calls it my 'romance bath.' Too cute!

Ok I'm going to stop at 10 for now, this post is pretty long I hope your still reading!!

See ya round :)
