Snow days


Heya all hows you first week of January been?
My week back at uni starts this week and I’m looking forward to having the structure back in place but dreading the stress of everything that I have been putting off for so long being due in… helppp. Dissertation feels like it’s looming over me and the sooner I get going with it the better I reckon.
I thought I would share with you some pictures of the snow we got a few weeks ago. It was really lovely to take a walk as we don’t get snow very often and having lived in Australia for a lot of my childhood it’s still quite novel to me!
 
 

Trees crack white carpet,
Bleached blurs, land to sky,
Twigs freeze in cold and motion,
Kite shakes and sails by,
 
Bitter sting of breeze,
Wellies crunch and slip,
Silence blankets hungry land,
Ice on branches grip

I also have started to get on with my new years goals and drew this picture of a rabbit. Must admit this is not from my own mind and is copied but I enjoyed doing it none the less! iIspired me to draw more often. Started reading Turtles all the way down and am really enjoying it as a book and also just getting back into reading in general. Im literally dying with my exercises and just trying to hold onto motivation to keep going with I. My legs feel like jelly today but I have already found that working out prior to a driving lesson definitely helped me to stay calmer so I MUST STICK TO IT. My body literally screams at me to stop… it doesn’t like me very much at the moment hahaha! Been looking at doing some volunteering and just hoping that it all works out timing wise. About to start making my vision board to help me to visualise all the things that are most important to me for the year ahead. I do one every year and I find it really lovely to look at every day and really see what’s important to me to stop me getting focussed on the little things. Big picture people.

Hope you all have a great week!

Finding the light within the storm

January was a month of lockdown, isolation and teaching from home. A month of sunrises, walks and reading. Dancing, painting, snow falls and quiet. There was beauty where you looked for it. Moments of calm amongst this storm. The snow bought a welcome relief. Some variety to living so cooped up. It felt lovely to feel such coolness in the air and to see the world looking so bright. I built a snowman and felt my worries slipping away. I enjoyed hot chocolates and cosy blankets. February started off much like January but harder. Days working from home felt filled with stress and worry. Long days slumped over a laptop, grinding teeth and headaches, deadlines and lesson plans. However, it has also been filled with love. Valentines day, walks, yummy food and still more memories from this month to make. I wanted to share a few things that are lighting up my life so far in 2021. We all need to find the light in the storm. I downloaded an app called one second everyday and I really recommend y...

12 books I'm excited to read in 2021

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!  With new years quickly approaching I have decided that THIS is THE YEAR i'm going to read a book a month. So without further or do, here are my 12 reads for 2021 (subject to change...).  The Magpie Society - One for Sorrow by Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch  This novel is the first in a series set at an elite boarding school. The story follows two students after the findings of a body at the students summer party. They are both drawn together through the unravelling mystery of the girls murder. I always enjoy a good murder mystery and I am looking forward to the twists this will bring.    Mindfulness - A practical guide for finding peace in a frantic world by Mark Williams and Danny Penmann  Back of the book reads " Mindfulness reveals the secrets of lifelong happiness and details a unique programme developed by Oxford University psychologist Professor Mark Williams with colleagues around the world." I first read this book ...

Products I’m loving

Heya all, Went and passed my driving test didn’t I! After months of worrying for the day to come, it came and it went well. No more driving lessons for me! After that relief ive spent the rest of the week slowly slogging through work and also slowly getting sick. Just in time for a presentation tomorrow…. Gooooood! Mid-week this last week I decided to give myself a pamper evening and I thought I would share with you the things that I have been loving for the last few months. Face: I have been looking to find a skin routine as exams are coming and deadlines close in my skin enjoys more breakouts and general dullness. I find that using this cleansing water (Garnier Micellar water) gets all the muck off my face. Even on a non-makeup day its surprising how much dirt ends up on your face. I have also starting to think more about treating my skin and have found that using this simple toner has made such a difference to my complexion without drying out my skin. This is qu...
