She was busy as a bzzzzzzzzzzz bee...

June 13th

So I am going to set some goals for the remainder of the month (onwards) to continue with the 30-day Full-voice challenge. I have been slack and not been consistent with my daily vocalizations so this way I am accountable, to anyone reading my blog...

Daily vocalizations of 30 minutes +
Vocal lessons (once a fortnight)
Live Performance (one per month)
Youtube demo (one per month)
Watch Live performances (haha any excuse to see some more shows)
Dance classes (12 per week)
Charitable Deeds (3 per month)
Adding to my repertoire (master ATLEAST one new song per month)
Auditions (2 per month, hopefully more!)
Healthy Meals (well...I don't think I need to photograph all my meals, but I will endeavour to keep a healthy diet, right now I'm in a chocolate and cookie snacking phase...mmmmm cookies)

So there they are...ahhhhhhhh I don't know if I can do it...again, but I will give it my best! I am currently doing around 15 dance classes a week to try and get some time off in August (I used up my holidays when I had a sprained ankle so I need to do classes in advance to get a break).

So for those of you that just want to know what I got up to this week...here it is

Tuesday 7th June
 Int/Adv Theater Jazz ...sooooooooo this is my first theater class in about 3 months, and the first Int/Adv theater I've ever taken. I felt a little out of my league (it was fast!) but I still enjoyed it. The warm-up was awesome, across the floor was good, I just had trouble picking up the chorey as it was quick, but hopefully I will improve if I have the guts to do the class again.

Adv/beg latin Jazz...Love a little bit of salsa, the rhythms are so different to any other dance style, enjoyed this class (even though I was exhausted from the previous class)

Wednesday 8th June
10.30-12pm Ballet
12-1.30pm Int Theater jazz
2-3pm Vocal Technique
4pm physio appoint... anke coming along nicely (joint in my OTHER foot is feeling neglected, grrrrr got some stretches to help it feel better about itself)

Thursday 9th June

BRUNCH at Pastis with Tom (friend from London, we worked at Virgin together...was so great to catch up!) Pastis is where Carrie and the Russian go on Sex and the City. The food was AMAZING! and so was the coffee!!!!!! hooray, I found decent coffee:)

It was around 38 degrees celsius and although I had planned on taking class, I ended up going from shop to shop to absorb air-con! I was melting!!!!

Friday 10th June

10.30-12pm Ballet
12-1pm Pilates
1.45-2.45pm Yoga

My ankle was feeling stressed as I did alot of jumps in ballet, so I decided to take it easy for the arvo classes. Came home and got ready to out with Libby.

Left at 5pm and went to 230 5th Ave to a rooftop bar (it was a little bit like the Ivy in Sydney, without the pool, and less try-hardish) had a cocktail there...
Then we went down a few doors to Eataly (a large Italian Deli with fresh Italian cheese, meats, pastas and restaurants, including a rooftop restaurant, which we wer not prepared to line up for) We got a coffee, mmmmmmmm and left.

Walked for 20 something blocks taking in the gorgeous warm weather and the Friday night buzz of NY. We knew that we could stop at any block and find a good place to eat, but it was just as fun looking for a funky little place to eat. We found a gorgeous Italian place in the East Village (Via Della Pace). I had Lobster Ravioli in an amazing Vodka pink sauce....soooooooo delicious.
We then walked around the East Village to Soho, where we grabbed dessert at a cafe filled with every kind of French mousse, tart, pastry...everything! After we split a chocolate mousse and a coconut something, I had instant diabetes...so we walked some more...
Ended up at a used book store at 10.30pm, it was so cute. I bought 2 books "To Kill a Mockingbird" a childhood favourite of mine, that I don't remember too well, and "I never saw Paris".
We walked and walked, it was a great night out in NYC:)

Saturday 11th

Went to Williamsburg at 10am to go to the Smorgasburg Food market. It's right on the water so you can see the manhattan skyline, it was overcast and drizzly. But a great day for drinking real coffee (my 3rd day in a row:) and doing some vintage clothes shopping, which is so good in Williamsburg...



The markets...yummmmmm

The view

Williamsburg

Sunday 12th

10.45-12pm Tap class (my first class in 4 years!) my ankle didn't appreciate being abused
1.30-3pm Int Theater Jazz (Sweet charity chorey)
3-4.30pm Jazz

I was planning on doing 4 classes, but was too exhausted after 3...

Dinner at Marina's place, she made an Italian feast...It was AMAZING!!!!
I probably ate enough to last me a week...It's the Italian way!

Monday 13th

Had a whopping Headache ALL day from my neck being out:(
Took some ibuprofen, plenty of Tiger balm and went to the studio to pick up my class card (no dancing today)...
