HOW I MAKE TIME TO READ


One of my resolutions this year was to read more books throughout the year. I love reading books and I have done so ever since I was younger. While growing up I noticed that I just started reading throughout the year less and less. It came to a point where I would only read books during my summer holiday, as that felt like the only moment where I had ‘time’ to actually read. That’s just crazy to think about, and so I made the resolution to read more books. I wanted to read at least a book a month, and I feel like I am doing quite a good job so far, as I am making more time to read in my everyday life.

BLOGGING TIPS FROM MY COMMUNICATIONS COURSE



This is my fourth year of studying Communications at uni. It’s my final year and it got me thinking about the last couple of years. Studying communications has helped me grow so much as a person. But not only did it help me grow as a person, it also helped me improve some things on the blog. This is something that I didn’t at first anticipate when I started studying Communications. In this post I will be discussing all the things I have learnt so far while studying Communications. Of course I have learnt so much, but there are only so many things that came from theory that I can ‘try out’ on my blog.

HOW TO GET BLOG ORGANISED


It can be quite hard to keep blogging while also still being a uni student or when you're working full time. I admire bloggers who are able to blog every single day, get creative content going and are still able to work on the side. Blogging can take up quite a lot of time and it's very important to have things for your blog in order, in order to be able to post regularly, while still also having new and exciting content to show. In this post I am going to share a few tips with you on how I try to stay blog organised and to keep up with everything that has to do with my blog.

A GUIDE FOR COMBINATION TO OILY SKINCARE ROUTINE


Skincare is something that I love. I am always trying to learn new things about skincare. This all has to do with me trying to find the perfect routine that keeps my cystic acne in check. By reading and learning so much about skincare and skin types, my friends and family are always coming to me for tips and tricks when they have their own skin concerns. Now I am going to be giving a little disclaimer as I am in no way an expert or followed a course for this, so please don’t take whatever I am saying too serious. Throughout the years I found a routine that works for my skin, however this routine of products might not work for you.

Recently one of my friends was asking advice about what kind of routine they should start using as they have joined the ‘twenty club’. I decided to turn it into a blog post as I thought it would be fun to read and it could be quite helpful to you too. Yet again, I am in no way an expert or have studied for this so please do your own research before creating a routine and buying products too.

MY LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH SOCIAL MEDIA


Last week was a bit of an off-week for me. I felt very demotivated by social media and I noticed that I have this love-hate relationship with social media. As much as I love social media and would love to pursue my professional career in social media in the future, I also kind of hate it for a few reasons. Today's Monday and it's a new week. I am feeling much better again and I am much more motivated to blog and post on Instagram again. So to break down this whole thought process I have gone through last week, I thought I would share this post on the blog. Hoping to share something relatable or maybe to bring you a peak into my life.

WHAT'S IN MY BAG FOR A DAY IN TOWN


After posting my five favourites post, in which I mentioned my Lancaster Mademoiselle Ana bag, I thought it would be fun to actually show you what I carry around in this little bag when I am out and about in town. I usually carry this bag along with me when I am off to run errands or am going to see friends in town. This is the perfect everyday sized bag to carry around with you, as you can still fit lots of stuff into the bag, which you will be able to see in this post.

FIVE FAVOURITES OF MARCH


March flew by and we're already a week into April. I feel like I say this every month, but honestly, where does time go? And most importantly: How is it every month flying by? It took me a while to sit down and properly think about my five favourites of the month of March, mainly because my brain turned to mush after I turned in all of my assignments for uni. So it took me a little while to think of them all, but I soon realised that I have been loving quite a few fashion bits over the past month. So without further or do, these are the five things I have been loving during the month of March.

GOALS I SET MYSELF IN APRIL


It’s a new month and I am setting myself new goals again this month. Last month this post really helped me be more productive and it made me excited about the upcoming month. So even though I am a bit late, as it’s already April, I did set myself a few goals this month to look forward to.

MY MOMENTS IN MARCH


First of all: Happy Easter! I hope you're eating lots of chocolate eggs while reading this!
This is the first time that I have been able to sit down and actually write a blog post this week. This past week has been stressful and I ended up spending most of the beginning of my week working on deadlines. Then when all my deadlines disappeared, all the stress seemed to get out. I just now recovered from a 3-day headache and am currently curing a breakout with a new skincare routine. March has been such an overwhelming month filled with fun and not so fun activities. Now that I am really thinking about it, it's actually been quite a long month and I am happy that it's over. I am ready for April to start, I am ready for April weather and being able to go out for drinks at night with friends and not freeze my ass off.
