Sitting in the same position for hours on end in a cramped space is no easy feat, but luckily there are many ways to elevate your airplane experience. Bag or backpack. This is a given but you definitely need something to store everything you’ll be bringing onto the plane. I personally prefer a backpack so that my two hands are free when navigating the airport, but many also like bring tote bags. Some form of entertainment. This . . .
What You Need to Know Before Starting a Casual Job After High School
After years of hard work, you've finally graduated high school. It's the first time you've felt genuine freedom in a long time and you're ready to savour it, but when you look around, you realise that your friends and former classmates are all getting summer jobs. Getting a job during the break between high school and university is a popular option among students, allowing them to save up some money before school starts all over again. If . . .
My First Ever Thrift Haul | Shopping on a Budget
Since I was introduced to the concept of thrifting two weeks ago, I've fallen in love with it. For a thrifting newbie, this haul was very exciting for me and I managed to find a few gems. Despite it being summer and scorching hot here in Australia, I seem to be focusing my thrifting on outerwear, strangely, but perhaps I'll end up thrifting summerwear in the winter, so it'll all even out. I found this lovely blue jacket at Vinnies for only . . .
How to Get Organised for School with Planners
It's officially the school season again! Young hopefuls all over the world pack their bags and head off to school to gain knowledge that will (hopefully) allow them to pay off the debt that they slowly accumulate every day... (but that's a post for another day) This post is all about school organisation, specifically how to get organised for school with diaries and planners. Most students look for three things in . . .
Goals That I Won’t Be Calling New Year’s Resolutions | Tips and Ideas for Goals
Why do we call them New Year's Resolutions? Is it just because we set them at the beginning of a new year? Or perhaps because that's the only way we'll be motivated to set them? I'm trying to be more honest with myself and I know that I most likely won't complete those that I call New Year's Resolutions so this year, I'm calling them 'Goals that I won't berate myself for not completing this year'. Focusing the year on self. We get so . . .
2018 in a Nutshell
Time. It flies by fast, doesn't it? It seems like it was only yesterday that I was still in high school, a fresh-faced student, eager and ready to learn. That was six years ago. Now, I'm a high school graduate, having completed another stage of my life and ready to step into the next one. This year was not easy for me. It was the year of my HSC, my final high school exams, the ones that would dictate my entrance into university. To say . . .
Making Chocolate Balls for Christmas | Was it a Disaster? | Blogmas Day 20
I tried making chocolate balls today. Now, I wouldn't go as far as saying that it was a success, but it definitely wasn't a failure, so that's something at least. I'm famous among my friends for being unable to bake, so despite the fact that this recipe did not require baking, I'm still considering it quite an accomplishment. You can find the recipe I used here. As you can see, I decided to forgo the coconut because frankly, I'm not the . . .
Christmas Eve: What I’ll be Doing Tomorrow | Blogmas Day 19
It's Christmas Eve, officially one day away from the long-awaited celebration of Christmas. We finally put up lights outside so they're currently twinkling away merrily for Christmas. Christmas in my household is usually more of a low-key affair, and while I want to celebrate it extravagantly, I'm a bit lazy to put up all the decorations and I can't really imagine myself cooking an entire Christmas dinner so my dream Christmas will have to . . .
Heartwarming Books You Need to Read Before the Year is Over | Blogmas Day 18
As it's the holiday season, it's the perfect time to curl up with a good book and a blanket on the couch. For me personally, I enjoy reading books that warm the heart and give me a good laugh, especially during this time. For those who don't know, I'm an avid reader. I could go as far as classifying myself as a bibliophile, which refers to someone who collects or has a great love of books. This means that I read a lot of books during the year, . . .
What to Do When Your Friends Are All Getting Into Relationships (especially during the holiday season) | Blogmas Day 17
Is it just me or are anyone else's friends all getting into relationships? Inevitably, there will come a time when you realise that all of your friends are getting into relationships while you're not. It becomes a little more obvious during Christmas, perhaps it's because the holiday season inspires people to be a little more romantic. Although, it does make sad, little me look more depressing. While I'm not really an adult yet, I do know . . .
