"A little progress each day adds up to big results"// At the beginning of my school year I published this post about some of my goals for the year. I've tried really hard to stick to them throughout the year, and I think I am doing a pretty...
"Kindness is like snow, it beautifies everything it touches." Alright, perhaps my post about Spring being on the way was a bit too early, or maybe a lot too early. While it did get very warm for a couple of days, the past few have been right back...
As I said in the last post, I love quotes. Today I want to share my all time favourite quote, it's quite a long one- but take the time to read it through. "Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference. ...
"Good things. Clean fresh sheets. Discovering new bands that haven't been discovered by the rest of the world yet. The smell of the beach. Salt Water. Breakfast for dinner. Cafes that have all-day breakfast. Great ideas that come to you in the middle of the night. New movies,...
The other day I shared this post about some thoughts on school. Today I am going to share some resources and tips that I use to understand the things that I learn at school. 1. Khan Academy Khan Academy is a organisation that provides videos, lessons, notes and...
"Here comes the sun"//
I am sitting at my desk writing this post, and I have my bedroom windows open for the first time in the year. There are magpies singing in the tree out the front, the sky is blue without a cloud in sight, the house smells like the cinnamon scrolls I just baked, the reasonably warm breeze is blowing through the window. It is only mid August, but it feels like spring is well and truly on the way.
Maybe it is the anticipation of summer, maybe it is the warm air, the burst of new life, the change. I don't know what it is about spring, but there is something that fills me with joy. The air smells a certain way during spring, and it is a way that I love. If someone could actually bottle the scent of spring and sell it- I would be the first costumer.
Over the weekend I experiment with my first photo series, inspired by the incoming spring. This one called "Here comes the sun".

"We have nothing to loose, and a world to see"/// I love looking at places to visit. I spend hours looking through pinterest at photos from other people's adventures. Today I have a short list (it took a while to get it down from very, very, very long)....
I talk a lot about reading, and it is something that is a huge part of my life. Reading has, and hopefully always will be, something that I do most days. I always try to make sure I have a little time for myself in the day and...
"You can see how fake it all is. It's a paper town- I mean, just look at it." -John Green I found this TED talk by my favourite author, John Green, and I found it really interesting. What did you think? Have your ever read paper towns? xPoppy...
