Tumblr Inspo #6

It's been a busy week full of back to school prep which is honestly the best part of going back to uni (stationary!). I've been spending time with friends, queuing some blog posts for when things get hectic and overall just enjoying the last days of the holidays. I officially went back today but only had one lecture to tackle, so it was a very easy way to start the second half of the year. 

I've been having a lot of me time and getting back into things that I had kind of neglected the first half of the year. I was too comfortable in my music niche and honestly didn't listen to much of it. But I've been spending ages trawling through Spotify, which is a godsend, and building up fun playlists and spending time discovering a lot of new bands and catching up on what I've missed from my old favourites. I've also taken a lot of time to write, which is a major hobby of mine, and something I never really neglect completely, but I have been doing a lot more of it. 

It's been amazing to catch up with a lot of friends who have opposite schedules to you making it impossible to hang out in the school year without meticulous planning and execution. I've found that the friends that have lasted since high school are those who I can pick up with right where we left of without there being any weirdness.

This has been a huge ramble, but I honestly find these posts so fun and calming to write. As always, there is a lot of the Kardashian and Jenner clan for you to feast your eyes upon, but they are killing it lately (but I say that every month!). I hope all of your months/weeks/days are going great. If you'd like to, please link me your Tumblrs - I'm always looking for new people to follow.

Note: I wrote this post a week or two back and forgot to publish it, that's why I'm talking about school as though I just started.

A Winter's Day Indoors

It was a sunny turned miserable turned sunny again kind of day today and I spent it all indoors. Uni started back this week, so I spent some time organising and getting things together for my new set of classes. It was crazy cold so I opted for snuggling up in bed to get things done, which I know, I know, it's bad for productivity but I couldn't resist.

I settled down with my laptop and planned out my life for the next month. Looking at my computer and notebooks makes my screen name obvious. I've had a few questions, someone even asking if I live in New York, but alas I do not. It's one of those places that you are drawn to and long for without ever having been there. It's always been like that for me, I can't explain it. When I thought of my username I thought long and hard, and for some reason nueyork just kept coming back to me. It's short, sharp and I love the twist on the spelling.

Earlier in the week I was feeling down and cheered myself up with an online splurge which arrived in the mail today - I'm sure you can identify what! You are definitely going to hear more on these in the very near future. I've spent a lot of time lately thinking about my content and I realised that I don't enjoy writing flat out reviews (unless it's a product I'm super excited about) so why am I writing so many of them? I've been jotting down ideas non-stop for posts that aren't review oriented, so hopefully this is the start of me only posting things I'm over the moon about.

Thinking about content has got me curious - what are your favourite kinds of posts to read? Mine are definitely lifestyle and anything that is very personalised to the writer.

Tumblr Inspo #5

 

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?
