If you’re new to my blog and here just for this post, welcome, you’re in for a treat. This little space on the internet has sadly been neglected this year, but it’s coming back with a bang in 2019! Grab yourself a drink and a snack because it’s gonna be a long one. Twenty Eighteen. […]
Preparing for 2019 ✨
There’s something about preparing for something new, whether that’s a new school year or a new chapter of your life. Although it’s cliché as hell to fall for the whole “new year, new me” spiel, it’s still fun (and rewarding) nonetheless to reflect on the past year and to look ahead to the new one. […]
twenty-seventeen in review + lessons learned
Right. Here it is: the post you’ve all been waiting for. It’s currently 2:25am on the final day of 2017, and I am ready to be brutally honest with every single one of you who’s taking the time to read this post right now – thank you, by the way, it really does mean a lot. […]
Happy Chinese New Year!
Last Saturday marked the beginning of the Year of the Rooster… Happy Chinese New Year 新年快乐! Each year, my family generally celebrates by exchanging lucky red packets and ordering a Chinese takeaway. However this year, along with last year, I wasn’t with my family and so celebrated in a different way. I didn’t have anything […]
Goals for 2017
We’re three days into the New Year so I thought it’s about time I let you all know what my Goals are. I prefer to use this term rather than ‘Resolutions’ simply because I know that I will never stick to resolutions. Goals are more definable: goals are things that you can work towards, achieve […]
twenty-sixteen in review and what it has taught me
I cannot believe an entire year has passed yet again -where is the time going?! Cue all of the “2016 in Review” blog posts and “2017 New Year Resolutions” as everyone begins to settle down and reflect on the past year. And I’m just about to jump on the bandwagon I’m afraid… Twenty Sixteen. Aside […]

The Falls Festival 2015 | Byron Bay
The long-awaited blog post from a lot of you (I’m sure) has got to be where I spent my New Year: THE FALLS FESTIVAL! Oh Falls, where do I even begin? You were just bloody amazing all round (okay maybe not the lack of lighting in the campsite toilets or having to live off wraps and […]
New Year | Journals
I’ve kept a year-long journal/diary on and off for most years of my life. For 2015, I want to write something down every single day. Even if it isn’t a page full of writing, I want to at least write a couple of sentences about my day. I want to be able to look back […]
