Ok, so if you're wondering about the name change, here's why I did it:
1. The Sweet Things in Life felt too... philosophical? Or deep or something? I don't know, but it just wasn't right. I needed something more personal.
2. My mum called me little tiger when I was little.
I tried to make the theme as much like a tiger as possible, but I didn't do very well.
So yeah.

Haha, I suck!
So yeah. I can't keep promises.
But really, I don't think you'd want to read a post that was like:
"I ate food today. But then I got hungry. So I ate more food."
You would be like
"No."
Theres still nothing very interesting going on.
But I started rowing, and I got my first blister yesterday.

New love affair(s)!!!

I have 2 new love affairs
Number 1: frankie magazine
They're just amazing!!!!
It's a magazine about art, craft, vintage things, food, music, fashion, pretty much everything I love. 
The layout is like, the prettiest thing ever. The pages are paper, and its all wonderful and minimalist and... ahhhh worthy.
This is their website: http://www.frankie.com.au/
My sister recently gave me her entire collection, and I've read one every night.
It's not just crappy stuff about celebrity's, it's actual news, and issues.

Number 2: My new bikini!!!!
I got it from asos, and it's beautiful.
I haven't actually worn it yet, because as soon as it arrived the Sydney weather was like "lol no", and turned really cold.
Trust














Also, I'm having a minor love affair with the doona I'm wrapped in right now, but I don't think it will last. We're just too different. I'll figure out a nice way to breakup
Also (last thing I promise)
I promise that I will try to post everyday, or at least 4 times a week.

I can't believe I only just realised how much I love Surry Hills, and how much I hate Melbourne.
They're all like "Oh, look at us, we're so hip and indie and amazing. We have so many old buildings and cool art projects."
And while I have friends from Canberra, I just can't say I like the city. And it's Melbourne's fault that strangely spaced out, grey blotch on the countryside is there.
So this may seem bias, because I live in Sydney, but I just really don't like Melbourne.
It's pretentious.
So I went to Surry Hills last Sunday, and I love it. It's so pretty, and all the shops there are amazing, and the food is really good as well.
Oh crap. I just sounded like I was from the Melbourne advertising campaign.
Anyway, on another subject entirely, since all the other people on the blogs I follow are major DIY'ers, I have decided that I am going to try that.
DIYing, I mean.
We have a treehouse near the fence, and I think it would be amazing to restore it.
Eg: put an actual roof on, so that it doesn't die every time it rains. And maybe I'll make some waterproof furniture.
Also, I'm terribly sorry there was no Part Deux of Jamboree.
Actually not really. I'm not sorry for rescuing people from the monotony of 14 days of scout camp. Thank me.
Also if you want outfit posts, that's not gonna happen. I go to a school with uniform, and spend my weekends doing this.
I will, however, post new outfits, or ones I really love.
Oh yeah, I've been meaning to do this for ages.
These are my dogs:



















Steve



















And Marley. He likes sitting in peoples pants.
