TV Shows You Should Check Out

I'm pretty stuck in my ways when it comes to TV shows and tend to have the same ones (hello Friends...) on repeat and regular rotation. So I made it my mission to branch out and watch a few new things. I like to watch series all the way through, meaning I gave these all a fair go. Here are my picks:

Here's My 2017 So Far

Hello blogging world! Once again, it's been a while.

The last time I posted here it was my last day in Wellington. Now, I've been living in Melbourne for nearly 7 months! I knew that moving to Melbourne would keep me crazy busy but I had no idea just how much. Here's my 2017 so far:

Goodbye Wellington

View from my hotel

Tomorrow is a very exciting, nerve-racking and all together weird day for me. Tomorrow at 7pm I will be heading to the airport to leave Wellington and move back to Australia. I've spent the last 11 months in this beautiful city and could not be more thankful for everything that has happened this year. 

Why You Should Do A Social Media Detox

Social media has become a huge part of modern life. As a blogger, it's an integral tool for me to connect with like minded people and share my content. People use social media to speak to loved ones, share their humour, promote their businesses and rally support for different causes. There are so many beneficial aspects to social media but, as I'm sure we all know, it can also have negative effect. So here's why you should do a social media detox right now!

Blog Prop Haul

Happy November everyone! Can you believe that we only have two months left of 2016?!

I've been feeling that my blog photos have been lacking. I always envy the photos I see on other blogs. So I decided to use them as inspiration. I started taking note of what I liked and figuring out what elements I wanted to start including in my own photos. I took advantage of the Labour Day long weekend sales and picked up a few bits and pieces. Here is what I got! All prices are in NZD.

Visiting Home

A few weeks ago I returned to Wellington after visiting home for the first time in 8 months. I was able to spend 10 days at home. It was a great chance to rest and refresh. After being non-stop for so long I really enjoyed the break.

Back to Blogging!

Hello blogging world, I'm back! It's been five months since I last blogged and I've been missing it. I hope you've all been well. 

5 Things I Miss About Home

I've officially been in Wellington for three and a half months! That is quite a surreal thought for me. I feel like I have achieved so much in such a small time frame and am positive about my experience so far. On Friday I have family coming to visit me for a few days and I am so excited to share my new life with them. That being said, it also has me thinking about home more than usual. So today I wanted to share 5 things I miss about home:

Turning 20

Tomorrow is the my 20th birthday (happy birthday to me!). Over the past week I have been reflecting on my life and what I have achieved. I would say at the moment I am happy with my life and happy with who I am. Today I was going to share 20 things I learned by 20. Instead I've decided to touch on just a few things, more in depth. So here are some words of wisdom from me in my last few hours of being 19! 

7 Spotify Playlists

I love Spotify. It's great for discovering new music, artists you've never heard of and listening to the big hits! I'm also a huge fan of their playlists. I have a broad taste in music and generally it depends on how I'm feeling. Spotify is perfect for finding playlists that match your mood! Today I'm sharing 7 playlists that I'm loving right now: 

10 Things I Learnt When I Moved Out of Home

It's been two months since I moved to New Zealand and moved out of my family home. I absolutely love it here and have even decided to stay a little longer than planned. Today I want to share with you 10 things I've learned since moving:

Moving Abroad

I haven't done many personal posts on this blog and today I wanted to give you a little update on my life. As this post goes live I am sitting on a plane. I decided a few months ago that I wanted to move away from home, to see how I go fending for myself and trying to figure out how to be an adult. I visited New Zealand last year (you can see photos from my Wellington trip here) and loved it. While it isn't a far stretch from Australia, I'm not even sure if I should call it moving abroad, it is a huge step for me. I want to experience life as much as I can and build some independence.

5 Things I'm Using to Stay Organised in 2016

I love being organised and find my life flows much easier if I plan things ahead of time. Here are 5 things I'll be using to stay organised in 2016: 

2016 Blogging Goals

It's time for a fresh start and new beginnings. In my last post I talked about some resolutions that everyone can benefit from. Today I'm sharing my blogging goals for 2016:

New Year's Resolutions Everyone Should Make

Happy New Year! Now's the time that everyone starts to make changes in their life. People begin to work on their goals and resolutions. To me, there is a difference between the two. Goals are something you want to complete or achieve. A resolution is the decision to take actions to make your life better. Here are some resolutions everyone can benefit from:

2015 Favourites

2015 has been huge and to finish it off I wanted to share a few of my favourite things from the year.

Merry Christmas | 2015

Merry Christmas! Just a quick post from me today to send you my well wishes. I hope you are having a wonderful day with your family or friends. I've spent the day with my family, eating delicious cooking and sharing gifts. 

Enjoy the break (if you have one) and take the time to remember all that you've accomplished this year. It's time to relax and recharge. 2016 is sure to be a big one!

Christmas Traditions

All families have a range of different Christmas traditions! Here are a few of mine:

Getting Back Into Reading

When I was younger I really enjoyed reading. I'd always have books lined up under my bed in the order I wanted to read them and would steadily work my way through. Then when I hit high school I got busy with coping with a totally different environment and I often had a book to read for English assignments anyway. By the end of high school I wasn't even finishing my novels for my exams because I didn't enjoy the material I was given and I felt as though I had no time.
