The Sunday Post #9

Hey Everyone!

Pheww- I haven't blogged in over a week! Bad Julianne. Its been months since I've had such a dip. I am however going to try and get back into the every second day routine as I feel so out of touch with everything when I leave this corner of the web neglected for so long.

Oh and happy Easter! (A week late oops!)

 

How cute are these knits my mum made me?!

My Life

Its the Easter holidays yay! The first night of the holidays I decided (rather indulgently) to have it to myself and try some DIYs I saw on Pinterest (look out for that in a coming post). Then I was in Edinburgh for a few days which was fantastic but soo cold! I thought nowhere could be colder than Glasgow, but was proven wrong. I did lots of shopping though- watch the haul here. Then the rest of my days have consisted of being in the library 24/7. Its so weird all the days have merged into one because I'm just studying.

The most amazing desert. Ever.

I am absolutely obsessed with Pinterest. Comment with your Pinterest names below so I can have a nosy at your boards! Mine is pinterest.com/julzobsessions/. I've also been loving my Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 107. I refuse to stop wearing it until the sun fully appears (talking of sun, how amazing is it having lighter nights?! I'm loving it!)

So that's all- quite a short post this week! I'm going to go on and write a few more posts before I go to bed (its currently the early hours of Sunday morning) so I have a stash for during the week.

How has your week been?

The Sunday Post #5

Hey Everyone!

My Life

Well I've been back at school which is not the most fun thing in the world. I have heaps to do already. I'm pretty stuck for ideas for a creative/ reflective piece I've to write for Monday so I think I'll be spending a fair amount of time on that today. I had a quiet weekend, just got my hair done (see upcoming post) and watched some Saturday night tv (Ant & Dec Saturday Night Takeaway is back YAYYY!). 

Update

I've been loving the consistency of posting everyday at 6pm so much that I'm going to extend it into this week too- yay! I've actually got pretty organised on my blog lately- I've taken all my pictures, came up with ideas and written a good chunk of posts at the weekend then just finish them off through the week. I've also been regularly contributing to the #bbloggers chats which I love as I get to talk to heaps of lovely bloggers as well as getting Julz' Obsessions 'out there'. 

Weekly Favourite

I have gained an unhealthy obsession with One Direction. I am honestly head over heels! Its safe to say my friends and family alike judge me, but I don't care- they're great. I've listened to their new song for literally hours, just playing it over and over again. I'll embed the video so you can watch it if you haven't :)

How has your week been? Who is your favourite in One Direction? Mine is Zayn *swoons* then Louis.

The Sunday Post #2

Hey Everyone!

My Life

Well its official- my 'mock'/practice/ back up exams have begun. Eeek! Maths was first on Friday and English is tomorrow! I've spent the whole week in the library- I've barely saw the light of day! On the bright side, on Friday I (perhaps stupidly) decided to have the afternoon and night off. I sorted through makeup, watched Pretty Little Liars (has anyone been watching- ITS AMAZING!) and caught up on YouTube.

So, for my English course this year we are studying The Great Gatsby and with a few exceptions, I have never loved a book more. I think you get so much more out of a book when you study it! I cannot even explain my excitement for this film. There are two trailers out and I know pretty much all the words of haha! Watch them and feel the anticipation! Random but yep, I thought I'd share my huge love and excitement for The Great Gatsby.

The Sunday Post #1

Hey Everyone! 

I've decided on yet another post series- The Sunday Post. Sunday is the day where I almost always post as I stay up on Saturday night (like now), writing. So on a Sunday I thought I'd do a kind of general, chatty post consisting of my week, instagram pictures (if I get back into it!) and my week's favourite! And who knows, perhaps I'll actually keep up with this themed post!

Update

You might have noticed I added some pictures to the sidebar. I thought it'd be nice to pick a few which represent my blog best! There's also a poll (ooer!) which I'd appreciate your votes on! The next aim in terms of design is coming up with a better blog description, as I think the current one is really old and doesn't accurately describe my blog.

My Life

In short- stressful! My prelims (which are like practice/ backup exams) are this week (OMG HELP!) and to be perfectly honest I've never been this busy/freaked out/unstable in my life! To give you an idea, I spent today (Saturday) in school then the library then my house studying maths for about 12 hours. Eek!

Weekly Favourite

Ok, I know I'm extremely, latest of the late on the bandwagon, but recently I have been loving One Direction! I liked them when they were on The X Factor (especially Zayn) but since they got so big I kind of lost interest. However, mostly thanks to my favourite Youtubers, I think they're amazing again! I particularly love 'Kiss You' which is such a silly, happy song! I just want to run around doing the swimming dance listening to it haha!

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!
