If I were to sum up February in five words, it would be "blink and you'll miss it". Seriously. Where did it go? A few things happened this month. Firstly, I celebrated my birthday, turning 20. Four days later, Valentine's Day took place, and whether you like celebrating the day or not, I see it [...]
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 [...]

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. [...]

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.

"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, [...]
