Whenever I tell someone that I'm an only child, I usually get one or both of the following responses (or some variant of these): "Oh you must be so spoilt" or "Ohhhh, that makes sense now" I never really know how to respond to those statements, to be honest. With national sibling day last week, [...]
I used to hate curling my hair. It was time-consuming and I could never get my hair to look just how I wanted it to. And even if my curls looked great, my biggest issue still remained - they never lasted. No exaggeration, my curls would drop and effectively disappear in 30 minutes and I [...]
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 [...]
"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. [...]
Sometimes we can feel like we've gotten ourselves into a rut, and our beauty routine is no exception. The good news is that this time of year is the perfect opportunity to switch up your beauty routine. As someone who tends to be a creature of habit and stick to the same products, the festive [...]
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 [...]
I'm a dedicated window shopper. Online and in real life. Particularly when it comes to fashion. I'm always browsing stores, taking note of clothing items and styles that I love, yet rarely buy them and try them for myself. My imaginary wardrobe that exists in my brain, consisting of items that I see during my [...]
Christmas day is just over two weeks away, and many of us are rushing around trying to find the perfect gift for the people we love. Sometimes, during this holiday rush, we can be a little stuck and clueless as to what to give someone. In today's blog post, I've scoured the internet to create a [...]
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 [...]
In the words of Hannah Montana - nobody's perfect. Even the best of us struggle with some things in life and I think we should be able to embrace the fact that we can't be great at everything. On a more lighthearted note, today I thought I would some beauty-related things that I cannot for [...]
I don't like to spend enormous amounts money. Of course, I enjoy a bit of a splurge every now and then, but most of the time, the uni student in me is saving every last penny. Because of this, I'm always on the hunt for affordable products in every aspect of my life, especially makeup. [...]
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 can't think of many things better than relaxing on the weekend with your feet up, reading a great book, or watching your favourite TV series on Netflix. And in my opinion, these activities are made 4627316957 times better with none other than a face mask, something I try to do at least once a [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
It's the end of June, and we are now HALFWAY through the year. Holy moly! Wasn't it just February last month? No? Okay then. On a personal note, this week, I sat my last exam for uni, so I am officially done for the semester. To say I'm elated is an understatement! This means I [...]
It only hit me about a few weeks ago that I'm running low on a lot of my skincare items, with my shelves in desperate need of a restock. I don't know why, but I have seemed to finish up my essential items all at the same time, something that NEVER usually happens. This week, [...]
Recently, I've been on the hunt for a good drugstore mascara. For years, I've used and adored Maybelline's One by One mascara, and I can say with sincerity that my heart broke years ago when I discovered that was discontinued. Since then, I've been searching for an affordable mascara that compares, with no such luck. [...]
