At the start of the year, I set myself a goal of reading 5 books over the course of 2018. A small figure, I know, but considering the previous year, I'd only read 1 book, I wanted to set myself an achievable goal to launch myself back into reading. I achieved that goal - I [...]
What is Christmas like in Australia? We see Christmas time portrayed across various types of media, mostly from the perspective of the Northern Hemisphere.

"Have gratitude for all that you have, and you can be happy exactly as you are." - Mandy Ingber I like to think that I'm a pretty grateful person. I have a roof over my head, food on the table, and I have the opportunity to study something I'm passionate about. I count myself pretty [...]
Today I'm doing a first for my blog. I'm writing my very first book review. I've wanted to write some book reviews ever since I started blogging about 18 months ago, but somehow I haven't gotten around to it until now. Better late than never, right? Reading has been a big part of my life, [...]
Like everything, there are pros and cons to blogging. While blogging can get you down and you can find yourself in a slump at times, the pros outweigh the negatives. If they didn't, there wouldn't be nearly as many bloggers as there are, or, you could even argue that no one would stick with blogging. [...]
I'm a sucker for romantic story. Films, books, tv shows - you name it, I'll be interested in it. Since the finale of The Bachelor aired yesterday (albeit, with quite a disappointing conclusion), I thought it was only fitting to keep what love is left in the air by doing a romance-themed blog post. In [...]

We all love a good online shopping session, some more than others, but nonetheless, it's become a common part of today's society. It's convenient, fun, a great way to kill time and let's not forget, the sense of excitement when a parcel arrives at the door is incomparable - it's like a little present to [...]
Sometimes we all need a bit of a pick me up. We find ourselves in a slump and it feels like nothing is going right. Sometimes, when we're feeling this way, a bit of self-care can help to lift our mood. Taking a long shower, slapping on a face mask and reading some inspirational quotes [...]
Why hello there and hello spring! It's the 1st of September which means that for us Australians, winter has officially left us and spring is here! It also means that we are almost 3/4 through 2018...whaaaat?! Blink and it'll be Christmas! Looking over to the northern hemisphere, I must admit I am a little jealous. [...]
Let's talk goals. We often set goals as a way to motivate ourselves to achieve a certain end result that we desire. Often these targets are set at the beginning of a new year or a new month and can range from anything to do with work, health, family or your personal life. Once we [...]

Organisation. We all want to be better at it, don't we? Starting university earlier this year, I've needed to get my head into gear on the organisation front. I was never a complete shambles, but there were definitely some aspects I could improve on, and there still are. Now like I just previously mentioned, I [...]
I've noticed that I tend to go through purchasing phases. At one point, I was obsessed with buying candles. Every time I went to my local shopping centre, a new scented candle would come home with me. Next, came the pyjama phase, where I built up quite a collection of nightwear. Currently, I've been buying [...]
