Just a reminder that from tomorrow I will be going on a hiatus for all of May.
Do not panic though because I will be spending this time not only relaxing, but working on my post schedule as well as working on some extra special content for the entirety of June. That’s right, I’ll be celebrating Pride month with a whole month of content focusing around the LGBTQ+ community.
Just thought I would try and give everyone some advanced notice that I’ll be taking a month off this coming May. I have been consistently posting for the last two years and thought I’d take a little bit of a break. Give myself some room to take a breath 😀
No worries though because I will back back in June for an extra special celebration for Pride month! Expect to see a whole months worth of content celebrating all things LGBTQ+
Woah! Has it been another year already?!
When I started this blog it was for a university assignment, who knew that it would awaken such a passion and sense of fulfilment in me? I am excited for 2020 and look forward to next year when I hit my eighth blog-iversary!
Just in case you missed them, check out some of my favourite posts, or ones that I am particularly proud of, from last year.
Welcome to 2020!
As some people say – new year, new you. So with that in mind, in 2020 there are going to be some changes 😊
Even though I am still coming to terms with how quickly 2019 went by, I have been planning some of these changes for a while. Starting in January, I will be mixing things up a bit and fiddling with blog formats, posting dates, and the ways in which I do things.
The below are some of the changes:
So keep an eye out and see if you notice any of these changes and let me know what you think!
2019 was a pretty decent year. Everyone I love is healthy, I have a roof over my head, a permanent job, I went on two amazing holidays, I feel closer to my partner, and I’m in enough of a financially stable position to start looking at house loans.
So as fun as it would be to say that 2019 was a garbage fire, it was actually pretty okay. Don’t get me wrong there were some rough and anger inducing times but I made it though the year without any major meltdowns or upheavals.
So below are some of the things I loved in 2019 and some quick hopes and dreams for 2020.
When the winds start howling, this brew will see you through. Indulge a little with this full-bodied vanilla sweet tea – bound to keep you cosy all year ’round. Sip it up Melbourne style!
Enjoy with: Perfect on its own or with a dash of milk.

Okay, so I do realise that so far a lot of these ‘Self Care Saturday’ posts have been taken up by bath bombs. Any why wouldn’t they? Bath bombs are great! But another aspect of self care for me, is looking after myself during my more stressful moments.
Ways that I am able to do this is by trying to relax with a cup of tea. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the tea itself that helps, but the tea making process – namely being able to get out of the moment, to step away, and have a cuppa.

Heavenly scent, jasmine absolute seduces you into lilac and silver waters, while the darkness of oudh and the richness of sandalwood keep you there, lingering a little longer. Precious ingredients for a true goddess, lifting your mind to a higher plane.
As each layer unfolds and sodium bicarbonate sends colours swirling, something divine happens to your body. Feel your muscles warming, feel your blood pumping, feel your strength.
Legend says Cleopatra bathed in milk, but a true goddess bathes in butters. Fair Trade Colombian cocoa butter and shea butter melt into creamy waters, then a skin-softening slick of liquid gold argan oil, a holy trinity of moisturisation. Behind the shea and argan, are stories of empowered women’s groups in Ghana and Morocco. Not age-old legends of celestial beings, but real stories from Planet Earth of building communities and defending the natural world.
Do you believe God is a woman?

If you only ever buy one Lush bath bomb, make it this one!
Goddess by Lush is such a beautiful and luxurious experience. The water was an amazing and rich purple colour with a surprising depth – Submerging my hand only a tiny bit, I could no longer see my hand beneath the colour and glitter.

Oh wow, so the time has flown since I started this blog. I will admit that I did abandon this site for about two years while I was working at a troublesome job which just sucked the life out of me 🧛♀️
But I’m back and 2018 was a year of pretty much constant and scheduled posts! So surprised and proud of myself. Here’s hoping 2019 sees me continue down this path 😁
It’s taken a while but I’ve made it to 200 posts!
Here’s hoping we all stick around to see my 400th post ❤ Thanks everyone for reading!
In the next few months I’m making my way to Florida and will be checking out Disney World! Needless to say I am incredibly excited. In preparation for my trip, I have been researching like mad and have been making an insane amount of lists. Since all this research has made me incredibly excited, I thought I would share some of the things I am most looking forward to, park by park.
For all the people who have visited Disney World before, feel free to let me know if I have missed anything or if there are things I absolutely must do 😀
The below are some of the things that I have put on my to do list for Magic Kingdom in Disney World.
I should probably start off by saying I am not a thrill ride person, as soon as I hit any G-force, I feel sick.
Violently so…
So with this in mind, most of my Disney experiences will be ones that shy away from the big thrill rides, which is why I am looking forward to the Haunted Mansion so much!
Over 10 years ago I made my way over to Anaheim’s Disneyland and fell in love with the ride there. So being able to revisit and share the experience with my friends and partner is an exciting one.
UPDATE: Really enjoyed this ride, was just as fun and kitsch as I remembered it.
What to read next.
