Instagram | The Last Few Weeks In Pictures #15

Hey Everyone!

In all honesty, I somehow cannot grasp the basic principles of instagram. Instead of taking a picture, adding cool effects and sharing it on the spot, I save 2/3 weeks worth of pictures and post them all in an enormous bundle late on a Saturday night (ready to post the next day.) This takes heaps of time, and I imagine my followers are a bit disheartened when 324837832 of my pictures come up in their timeline/ newsfeed (instagram equivalent?)

Therefore, over the next two weeks I aim to post pictures as I take them, which will make things a lot easier and ensure I use the app as its meant to be used.

Little rant over, onto the actual post! I have been so, so busy over Christmas and New Year; the homework I was given was off the scale which really sucks since Christmas is the time of year you have the least motivation to work. I planned to write heaps of blog posts and film videos etc but none of that happened. Its a shame that my blog gets pushed aside so readily as it really is something I enjoy, but I suppose its ultimately a hobby, and school is more important.

Ok I'm just going to stop myself rambling right there so this post doesn't turn into a novel (as my late night drafts so frequently do!)

Left to right and down:

Christmas decorations- all gone now! | shower time! | I'm so mature on trains | glitter gold tips | chocolate cake yum | Christmas eve | love this so much right now | MUA Christmas goodies | candle lantern | sleeper train cabin | almost Julz- woop | pretty papers | floral | BBC television centre | iconic | LONDON BABY | very healthy snack of course | new years resolution

How has your last few weeks been? Normal, non rambly posts will return soon I promise!

Update & Happy New Year!

Quick warning: this post is a very, very long one- but hey that's how catchups go!

Hey Everyone!

Happy New Year! I've been a bit MIA blog wise over the last few days but I had good reason- I was in London over new year yay! We were visiting family there, and since we go quite often it wasn't really a sight seeing holiday however, I did do alot of shopping! We travelled there on the sleeper train which was quite a crazy experience; the room was so compact it was hilarious. We didn't do a lot the day we arrived as we were shattered (5 hours sleep just doesn't satisfy!), then we celebrated the bells. On the first we went to Westfields Shopping Centre (where I made my first MAC purchase ooit ooit- but that deserves a whole post of its own!) and it is really amazing; I've never seen so many shops under one roof- and I do a fair bit of shopping! Then yesterday we went into the centre of the city to Covent Garden and Oxford Street. My mum and I are a bit hopeless with direction so we actually ended up on Oxford Street while heading to the station to get the tube there. Anyway, I'll do a video on what I bought since it was quite a bit (which is ok as the sales are on!)

Also, with this time of year comes the whole 'I'm going to improve' mindset. I don't think I'm alone in saying that I have never stuck to my new years resolution for the entire year- ever. So, this year I have tried to make my goals a little more realistic. As I type I'm watching Nikki Phillipi 's new series based on being happy and new years resolutions and it is so inspiring I will definitely be taking a leaf out of her book! But anyway, my new years resolutions are as follows:

• Write down something that made me happy that day and put it in a jar to open in the future
• Exercises a little everyday
• Drink more water
• Blog at least 3 times a week
• Upload a video once a week

This is my jar hehe- I'm going to jazz it up a bit in the next few days!

Ok have I covered everything? I think I have! I was going to tell you a bit about different features coming in the next little while but I am terrible for saying I'll post things and not following it through, so I'll just leave it as a surprise! 

If you got to the end of this post- well done! I always try to remember that when I sit down to write late at night all I do is ramble but I keep forgetting and doing it anyway! 

I am off to plan this years goals in more depth, perhaps decorate my jar and catch up on the Youtube videos I've missed over the last few days. 

What's your new years resolutions?
