Some of my favourite blog posts to read are the personal ones. The ones where you get to learn more about the person behind the blog. Whether it's through sharing raw, personal stories, or little comical anecdotes, I love being able to connect with and relate to fellow bloggers. I've done a few blog posts [...]
The first month of 2019 is done and dusted and whether you thought it dragged on for an eternity, or was over in a flash, February is a fresh start - a 'round two' for if your January didn't go exactly to plan. January started in a bit of a blur, still clouded in the [...]
Over a month ago now, I saw that Gabriella (velvetgh0st) had created her own edition of the many baby name tags floating around the internet. This got me so excited as I find names so interesting and baby name videos/blogs are some of my favourites to watch/read. I've done a baby name post previously, but [...]
As someone who does not drive, I rely on public transport to travel pretty much anywhere that isn't in walking distance. Throughout my public transport travels, I have a lot of thoughts racing through my head. So, I thought I'd type them up and share a bit of a tongue-in-cheek account of my daily public [...]
The beginning of the year means many people are setting or have set their goals for the year. Some of these goals can relate to reading and books. Today I'll be sharing a list of novels I'd like to read this year. I don't have a set goal in regards to the number of books [...]
"The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals." - Melody BeattieHappy New Year! 2018 is behind us and I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the fresh start that is 2019. Christmas and the holiday season [...]
With just over a week of 2018 left (eeeek!), I'm reflecting a lot. About my personal life, my studies, the goals I set. I've spoken a bit about some of those topics already and today I'm doing some more reflecting and will be talking about all of the things I've been loving during the year. [...]
The festive season is well and truly upon us and many of us are counting down the days until Christmas (five days to go!). I love the festive season and you know I love a good quote! So why not add the two together? Here are 10 festive themed quotes to get you in the [...]
As the year comes to a close, many of us are starting to reflect on the year that was, what happened and the things we achieved. At the start of the year, I jotted down five things that I would have liked to have done, achieved or worked towards during the year - my 2018 [...]
Last week, I did a gift guide and shared some gift shopping tips, and once we've now got our gifts sorted, it's time to wrap them! I personally LOVE wrapping gifts. I'm not the most creative person in the world and I feel like wrapping gifts is one of the few creative things I truly [...]
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. Being from Australia, it's often a little difficult to relate, so today, I thought I would share a little glimpse into how the holiday season is different in Australia. Obviously, this [...]
Yesterday, I shared my Christmas gift guide for the beauty lover, so I thought I would follow it up with some more general Christmas shopping tips. There are exactly two weeks until Christmas and finding gifts for those we love is something on many of our minds (unless you've already finished your Christmas shopping, in [...]
Welcome to Day 1 of the 12 Days of Blogmas! To kick it off, I thought I'd start with something that brings people together - music! To get you in the Christmas spirit, I'll be sharing 10 of my favourite Christmas songs that are on rotation over the festive season. In this list, I've included [...]
Did you know that left-handed people make up only 10% of the world?! I happen to be one of those people. Being left-handed, you can face some challenges in day to day life. Here are some of the first world problems of being a leftie in a right-handed world. 1. Smearing and smudging pen ink [...]
"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 [...]
Strap yourself in, today's post is a long one! I'll be answering "99 questions you've never been asked". Let's not waste any time and get straight into it. 1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed? Closed. 2. Do you take the shampoo and conditioner bottles from hotels? Of course, I do! [...]
