So...

Hi there,

I know the last couple weeks this blog hasn't been updated. The last couple months I've been crazy busy with exams and assignments. So my blog has been a tad neglected :(

However I am planning a few posts in the future. Although, I have been posting photos on my blog Instagram. I know i've previously mentioned my instagram but i just wanted to give an update on whats happening. I love using Instagram to share randoms snaps of my everyday life. So if you want to check it out please click the link or look me up on Instagram.

Here are a few photos I've posted in the past...

Take a breath

Hi all,

recently i flew back to Australia for a quick catch up and get away.

And honestly it is possibly the best thing i could of done,

i have been lucky enough to clear my head and get away in Australia, my true home.

The most valuable thing i have learnt from this, is the importance of taking a break. 

Of clicking pause and taking a breath,

because something that i was able to reflect about in my life is that i am always in fast forward.

How am i going to get there, what to i need to do and what can i do at this exact moment.

However this causes me to become highly stressed and anxious. Which is not a healthy way to live, 

so if you ever feel as if everything is perhaps too overwhelming or you just need a break, take a breath. 

I realise that everyone is not fortunate enough to just be able to drop everything and go away. But something i've realised from my visit back home is that you can apply 'taking a break' into everyday life.

No matter how busy or stressed you are, you can just take 1 minute out of your day. 

To just simply take 3 deep breathes and reflect. 

Maybe you can just reflect on that day, or any relationships or even where you are at in life. 

This process does not have to be a big deal or even take more than a minute of your time. 

Because i live my life in fast forward always thinking of the next step, but perhaps i just need to take every minute as it comes. 

Woah, well i'm glad i got that off my chest, sorry if i sound all meaningful and stuff, 

but moving on.

Today i went on a awesome bush walk and i took some lovely photos throughout the day that i wanted to share with you. 

(by the end its mostly just food)

Enjoy :) 

       Luckily it wasn't too hot to enjoy the scenery

Refreshing drink whilst walking

Had fun watching crazy people jumping off the waterfall 

                     I couldn't help but take a shot of the awesome food and view, but mostly the food

                    Insane gelato, i got my two favourite flavours of gelato, chocolate and raspberry. 

I hope you enjoyed this post,

comment any future posts you would like to see from me.

I love hearing feedback.

Sunday Markets

Every Sunday I go to my local farmers market with my family, today I thought I'd share some photographs with you.

Mmmm nothing like fresh fruit.

I love walking around the markets every week and getting my favourite produce

 Especially those free samples :)

Isn't this adorable?

Every week without fail i love to get a brownie at my favourite stall. 

Which one would you pick?

Now for my favourite part!

Eating my delicious brownie with a hot chocolate.

(I picked Salted Peanut, it was delicious)

What's a weekend ritual for you?

DIY nail wheel

Recently i was thinking of a way i could display my nail polishes so i decided to make a nail wheel. This is a fun and colourful way to display all of your nail polishes. All you need is some free time and ...

1. Cotton buds 

2. A blank CD

3. Gel glue 

4. Fake nails
5. Scissors
6. Blank paper
7. Pen

and of course your collection of nail polishes

First you trace the cd on a piece of paper twice and then glue it down on both sides.

Next you should cut your cotton buds evenly in half.

Get your glue and fake nails and put glue on a fake nail and some glue on the cotton bud. 

Then press cotton bud onto nail and hold for 10 seconds. Repeat this step for how many nails you have.

Paint each nail a different colour and wait to dry

And put some glue on the end of the cotton bud and on the CD and press for 10 seconds

Finally write each name of the nail polish on the front of the CD

and volià you have your own DIY nail wheel 

Hope you enjoyed

Music Review: Sheezus by Lily Allen

The album Sheezus was released May 2014 and i have to say it's my favourite album of this year. I have had a long love affair with Lily Allen, ever since her first album. I would have to say she is the first artist that i truly loved (well one i would admit). I will say that i am listening to this album as i'm writing this. It's not just her voice but her message. Her lyrics really mean something and speak to me. They just stick in my head, round and round again. So here is her album.

 

1. Sheezus 

2. L8 CMMR 

3. Air Balloon 

4. Our Time 

5. Insincerely Yours 

6. Take My Place 

7. As Long As I Got You 

8. Close Your Eyes 

9. URL Badman 

10. Silver Spoon 

11. Life For Me 

12. Hard Out Here 

13. Interlude

14. Who Do You Love?

15. Miserable Without Your Love 

16. Holding On To Nothing 

17. Somewhere Only We Know 

If someone asked me my favourite song, from this album i honestly couldn't tell you, the songs are just so different. "Somewhere Only We Know " for when i'm feeling sad or "URl Badman" for when i just need to dance. But if i had to pick a song that had the best lyrics i would probably say "Sheezus" or "Hard out here". The reason i love this album is because each and every song has a different message. Plus i just love Lily Allen she's always had the attitude that, i don't care what people say i'm just going to be myself. She may not be everyone's cup of tea but i love her. 

But if you take anything away from this post, please check out this album if you haven't already.

New York

I know this is something a little out of the blue, but i wanted to share it. I was in New York a couple months ago and i wrote this. Recently i read it and i loved how it drew a picture of New York i had forgotten.

I hope you enjoy :)

New York

July 2014

As I walk along the pavement or as the locals say “sidewalk”, people here say things weirdly but then I’d be ignorant not to think that they think I speak weirdly. My heart drums singling along to the buzzing of the people, so many people who all have places to be. Each have their own urgent mission, yet they choose this city to find it in. The city is like a symphony, the car horns sound in time with the murmur of the people. I quickly skip down the subway steps making sure not to step in any puddles. I run my metro card along the silver machine that has years of wear and tear. Everyone has a code which they follow, stay out of my way and I’ll stay out of yours. Follow it or suffer the consequences. Of course my card doesn’t work the first time I have another go and breathe out a sigh of relief.

I love this city, each person so different yet anyone and everyone fits in. Everything working in unison yet all strumming along to their own beat, I am in awe. They say New York is “the city that never sleeps” but I think the saying should be “the city that is always moving” you can take that metaphorically or literally. As I sit on the subway, thanking the gods that I got a seat my eyes start to wander. Looking at people wondering what their story is. Each so different and colourful, I wish I could talk to each and every one. Take each story and tell it through my own perspective. Sometimes I think about what it would be like to be someone else, to see the world through their eyes, worry about what they worry about, laugh at what they would laugh at.

But I am one person, in a world of so many. Yet my world feels so small, so insignificant. That’s why I like New York, because although you may not know what your life means you have all these other lives to connect to.
