Hi lovelies! While I was out today I found this mouthwatering orange and poppyseed cupcake. It had cream cheese frosting, pistachios and edible rose petals. Absolute edible perfection if you ask me 😊 In the interest of transparency though, it was a busy day.. lots of tasks to juggle, gastroenterologist appointment to get to. Not quite where I saw myself this year, health wise or anything wise! I’ve been struggling on and off with managing workload and health. If anyone’s got any tips for that, please send them my way! For a long while I had my perfectionist streak ruling my life and how I did things. It took my focus away from where my priorities really lie. I missed time with loved ones and didn’t give myself the opportunity to relax. It was me really feeding into hustle culture and I don’t want to go back to that. What are things you do to balance yourself?

Hello lovelies! Let’s talk life updates. Lately I’ve been reading lots and it’s felt great getting back to myself. Being a reader is such a big part of who I am and influences how I write too. I’ve been reading lots of blogs that aren’t just from wordpress reader, dedicated half an hour to going through the latest Frankie issue each morning and am well on my way to finishing off three of the biggest books I’ve read in ages! I’ve also been remembering to hydrate- I used to be so good at this! It’s easier now that I’ve found lemon water. In terms of exercise, I take regular walks along the cyclist and pedestrian path behind my apartment block. Usually I’ll spend an hour or so out and only have to come home when it gets dark. How good is daylight savings? Last few updates are blogging and creativity related- I’ve been aiming to collaborate with other bloggers and artists more this year and am pleased to say that @carlyallisonxo and I have released a new podcast! we talked about all things sustainable fashion, thrifting and curating your dream closet. If that’s something you’re interested in, go have a listen! Over on the blog, @sophies.cornerx and I have put together a recipe post for you all. We’ve included a brunch and dinner option. So many of us are time poor so being able to cook in bulk is great! My next post here or on the blog should be fun too. I’ve been doing some more decorating- putting up a photo wall. I’m excited to see how it turns out!

Hello lovelies! If you can’t tell, I had significant trouble coming up with something to post.. but here we are, so that’s good! I saw this quote on pinterest the other day and thought it was an interesting perspective. It really spoke to me. “We are all just walking each other home.” It made me think about the role we play in each other’s lives and the extent to which our paths are interconnected. We have all these individual plans and dreams and on the way to making those happen, we find everybody. We realise the other people are just like us, hoping to get somewhere. That they are filled with inspiration and magic of their own. We help each other. We do this in big ways, in smaller less noticeable ways. We hold doors open and smile on Monday’s because we know that someone needs it. We teach, we learn, we give, we grow, we stand out, we blend in. We love, we cry, we be there. This is the collective human experience.. the cycle of providing and being reliant. Take time to notice this in all you do.

Hello lovelies! I had some time tonight to sit down and ended up doing some serious reflecting on my path, aspirations and personal growth. I figured it’d be worth talking about as I’m sure lots of you will be able to relate in some way! For the last couple of years, all I’ve been asked about is what my future job will look like. It’s funny because I’ve been stuck on the same career path for so long. My plan, basically, is to start my own interior design business. I love this idea because I can create dream spaces and will be able to delve into photography a lot more! I’m hoping to continue my blog on the side too. Other than that, I want to travel. First I wanted to travel the world, but now I’ve got specific spots in mind. Ultimately I want to settle down in America. Tonight though, I thought, it’s all good and well to have these ideas, but how will I turn them into action? It’s dawned on me that I’m eighteen next year and that’s got to mean things are getting serious. I feel slightly reality slapped but also madly excited because this means I can finally get my real life started. I know that what I do now matters and will ultimately set me on a path of my choosing, so I’m trying to be conscious of that. Next year is going to be a bit of a strange one in that I’ll leave formal schooling and start tafe courses for a year. I’m hoping to finish with a bachelors degree or something similar. Qualifications are important! On a bit of a side note, I wanted to chat quickly about personal growth. Over the last year I’ve allowed myself to be more vulnerable and place greater trust in others. I’ve refined my personal and creative expression and gotten more confident with what I post here- some of you might remember that early on you wouldn’t see many photos of me at all. Little changes here and there but I feel like I’m starting to return to myself 😊

Hello lovelies! Here’s another throwback picture from last March! Right now though, I’m very keen for the new content that’s underway. Get excited for that! In the meantime, here are a few updates: I’m very happy to have started reading again! I’m getting into more series and longer books, so I’d say I’ve read about 1000 pages by now. As usual I’m also reading magazines, mainly Frankie and teen breathe when they come out. Home beautiful is another favourite of mine for design inspiration. I spent a good while flicking through it earlier today. The second and bigger thing is that I have been practicing for my learners driving theory test and will soon be ready to take that! I kind of wish I’d gone over the content back in January or late December when I was on holiday, but so be it. Everything happens in time. I’m just excited for more freedom and to achieve something I didn’t always believe I could. What are you up to lately?

After all this time I am wandering back home.. a place where faces are familiar, but everything else is not. I spell my name in broken letters as I walk towards what’s left behind. The letters keep slipping and I am forgetting what I’m called. This home, this time, this different place. There’s only one thing left.. I am walking towards a building called nostalgia - home murmurs “where have you been?” and I cannot help but say “away, seeking you” - Noor Unnahar

Hello lovelies! Lately I’ve been thinking about content creation and how I can continue to expand this page and take more risks creatively. Usually I have content lined up and ready to go, but other times, like now, I’m digging through my camera roll to see what I haven’t yet posted. I realised I missed taking photos, even just of little things I see here and there. Of course I’d get more pictures out of a trip somewhere, but that’s not always realistic. I decided to play around a little yesterday night and took this picture. Old school picnic and pretty things, inspired by @miyako.official and @anneinthedollhouse ✨ the only downside was that I had to put everything away afterwards.. and by everything I mean lots of glassware, fruit and biscuits I’ll never eat 🙊 What does content creating look like for you? What brings you joy?
