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. [...]
Welcome to my very first empties post! Rather than doing a monthly favourites post at the end of this month, I thought I would share my thoughts on the accumulated bunch of products I have used up recently. This month has been all about using up skincare products - no makeup this time. Let's get [...]
It's no secret I have a thing for skincare. Finding a good brand that ticks all the boxes can be a bit of a challenge however. I've been using Sukin's rosehip oil for years now and I'm a massive fan, so over the past year, I've gradually tested out some more of their products. Here's [...]
I love a good would you rather session! For some reason, I love putting myself in hypothetical situations and thinking about what I would do in those circumstances. Here's a bit of a lighthearted tag - Would You Rather | Beauty Edition. 1. Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or [...]
I’ve decided to start a “Top Five” series, where I select a brand and share my top five products from them. I hope this is helpful for those who are new to a certain brand and don’t know where to start in regards to what products to try, or even if you are familiar with [...]
I think many of us can agree that the first month of 2018 has dragged on for what feels like an eternity! I for one am very excited for February's arrival as it's my birthday month, and I've also got a few exciting things planned. We have finally reached the end of January, so it's [...]
Can one ever be satisfied with the amount of lipstick they own? I think not. There will always be a lipstick out there that I lust after - it's just a fact I must accept. Some of my favourite lipsticks come from MAC Cosmetics. In my opinion, they're iconic. The packaging, the smell, the shade [...]
