A Winter's Day Indoors

22 comments



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.

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?
