Tumblr Inspo #9

Today was a twenty seven degree spring day and I was unfortunately inside watching the world go by from my window as I studied for my upcoming exams. My fingers are crossed that it doesn't get too warm until after my exams are done and dusted so I can enjoy the hot weather.

I am never usually excited for summer as it can be quite hard to deal with in Australia, days shooting well into the forties sometimes. However, I miss the beach and can't wait to start swimming and laying out again so hopefully this year is more manageable than the last.

I have been spending a lot of time getting blog posts together for while I'm busy studying and have really gotten into the hang of scheduling things. I'm aiming to post every second day from now on, especially once my time frees up a little more in the summer break. I have been putting a lot of thought into my blog and I am so excited to be able to work on it more. I want to freshen up the design, work on my content and maybe even look into getting a better quality camera. Nothing is more exciting to me than the prospect of improving my content as it's something I think is so, so important.

How is the weather in your part of the world and what steps are you taking to improve your blog?

Tumblr Inspo #8

It's a super bright, sunny nearly-spring Sunday here and I feel refreshed even though there is a giant pile of assignments for me to do. Something about the weather has just put me in a good mood and I'm positive about tackling the workload I have at the moment. I'm hoping this feeling stays considering I can stress myself out so, so much when things get hectic.

There is nothing more energising and motivating to me than sitting down and organising all of my to do lists, calendars and deadlines. Feeling on top of things is definitely key when it comes to stressing-less which is something I've really been working on this year. Speaking of, it's almost time to start thinking of new New Years resolutions which is a little bit scary to say the least.

Coffee in hand I'm going to spend half of today catching up on blog stuff such and the other half working on my major assignment which is a psychoanalysis type task which on one hand is super fun but on the other requires a lot of research of past literature, referencing and all that other good university-level-paper kind of stuff.

I hope you are all having an amazing weekend, tell me what you got up to!

I've been sick the past day or two so I've been spending a lot of my time moping around and doing things that make me happy in an attempt to cheer myself up. I've been reading a lot (more on that soon) and scrolling through all of my social media non-stop trying to keep myself occupied until I get better. I've finally gotten most of the boring admin-esq tasks that I've been putting off all year completed, and hopefully by the end of my uni-break I'll be up to speed and ready to focus solely on my work.

At the start of next month I am leaving the city and heading into the countryside for a few days, which should be a nice break, but my mode of transportation is coach which always stresses me out and leaves me in a bad mood. It's never quiet and I'm always sitting next to someone who is bored and wants to watch on with whatever I'm doing to try and occupy myself. I think I'm going to be casting out my strongest "I have my headphones on, do not disturb" vibes.

It feels as though half of my holidays have already gone, and most of this post has already gone without casting any reference to the pictures I've selected this time around! I've really been building my wardrobe around certain looks and I'm really starting to fall in love with my outfits which is something I struggled with in the past. I think I have well and truly found my "style" where as back in high school I went from wanting to dress very feminine to wanting to dress like a boy in the same day which left me resenting half of my wardrobe at times!

Coffee is there, as always. I put myself on a coffee ban at the tail end of last year and I was actually feeling very energetic without it. However, one fateful day in class I needed a pick-me-up and opted for coffee which got me back to my caffeine addiction! I find myself feeling very blah without it these days and I know I should get off it, but it was so hard the first time! I don't know how to stay strong!

This was quite the ramble, so I think I'll tie things up here with a question (or three): Are you a coffee addict with genuine withdrawal symptoms when you don't get your fix? Does this worry you as much as it worries me? Have you quit coffee and can remind me why life rules without it?

Study Essentials

Studying isn't fun, which is something I think we can all agree on. There are definitely ways to make it more exciting, but I don't think I will ever enjoy trying to cram all that work into just a week or two. I've gotten my studying essentials down to a tee, even if my study skills aren't so refined - you can't win them all!

Coffee is first and foremost, if you're a coffee person. Some teas offer a boost of caffeine too, but I personally love the taste of coffee and it's my first choice when I need a pick me up. I like to wake up in the morning and have a coffee before I even think about working, let it do it's thing and sometimes it's enough. Other times, I sip away while I work, but the first of the day is always the best!

When it comes to stationary you need to go hard or go home, in my eyes. I love buying cute notebooks, pens, sticky notes - you name it. Kate Spade's offerings are magical, but Typo and Target have amazing pieces too that will making your work look adorable.

Snacks are key for me, next to coffee. Chocolate is my go to study snack because I'm a chocoholic and it just makes me happy. If you want to opt for something more healthy, feel free. I'd recommend something you can nibble on so you can eat consistently through working without feeling guilty.

Finally, a little random but oh so important to me, bed socks! If it's hot, I'll opt out of these, but they just give me such a warm feeling of contentment. They keep me warm and calm while I'm realising how much work I still have to go.

What are your must haves when the study period comes around?

Tumblr Inspo #3

As much as I love creating my own photographs and writing about products, this is one of my favourites posts to do. I just enjoy collecting inspiring or aesthetically pleasing images and they really have no use sitting in a file on my computer, so why not share them with others?

I absolutely loved Kendall's look at the Billboard Music Awards, but I love all of her looks so it's really no surprise. Her outfit was to die for and suited her frame perfectly. Obsessed. Also, my coffee and sweets cravings have been super strong this week and I've found myself lurking through the iced coffee and donut tags on Tumblr more than I'd like to admit.

Exams are coming up in the next few weeks so I'm trying to pre-plan some posts to avoid disappearing completely.
