How To Start A Blog*

blogging October 19, 2017
In 2014 I started this blog. I had no idea what I was doing. I just wanted a little corner on the internet where I could share my thoughts. I have managed to learn a lot since then and I'm still learning something new everyday.  A few important things I've learnt is that blogging requires time and effort. You need ensure that you...

My Life At The Moment

lifestyle October 10, 2017
I am starting my final high school exams exactly a week from now. I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by. I am excited to finally finish with high school and no matter how much I hate to admit it there will be some parts that I will miss. This blog post is dedicated to my outfit and my thoughts about...

What Inspires Me?

inspiration September 27, 2017
Whenever I need a kick of inspiration I always go on YouTube to watch a motivational video. It always does the trick and leaves me feeling like a can take over the world. However, I believe my source of inspiration comes from myself. There are a number of things I would like to accomplish and that’s what keeps me inspired. I always ensure...

#GirlBoss

book reviews September 15, 2017
I started 2017 with a long list of goals and I decided to read the book #GirlBoss to inspire myself to work towards them. I started reading the book in February however, my phone was stolen and everything was just a mess at that time. This lead to me feeling uninspired and I stopped reading the book. A lot of things have changed...

A Trip To The Zoo

lifestyle September 05, 2017
My sister and I wanted to do something exciting to celebrate the beginning of spring. After a few minutes of brainstorming we decided that a trip to the zoo was the best way to do it. We hadn't been there in ages and it was a wonderful way to spend time outdoors. We arrived in the late afternoon and it was quite warm....

I Made A Website

Coding September 02, 2017
Ever since learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript I've never actually completed a project. Yesterday, I was feeling quite motivated. I sat in front of my laptop and I made a website. I'm so proud of myself. It took me approximately two hours to make.  It is just a simple website and I only used HTML and CSS. So, it doesn't actually do anything...

Learning How To Code

Coding August 30, 2017
I have recently realised that it is quite easy to trick the mind into thinking that you are actually getting stuff done. I started learning HTML and CSS back in 2014 yet I have barely anything to show for it. I always talk about what I want to do but hardly ever get it done. When I realised this I knew I had...

Sempiternal Adventures Is Changing

change August 26, 2017
I started this blog over three years ago. I was fourteen at the time and life was totally different. I can barely explain all that has happened over the past few years and that is why I've decided to make some big changes. I am no longer the same person I was when I started this blog. I have grown and I have...

How To Create The Perfect Flat Lay

lifestyle August 02, 2017
I am not an expert when it comes to flat lays but I have been creating flat lays for about for years now and it has definitely taught me a lot. I decided to share what I've learnt and hopefully stop some one from creating the same mistakes as me. 1. Angles Try to be parallel to the the area you are photographing...

A Mini Haul

fashion August 01, 2017
I haven't been shopping as much as I would like to recently. I'm trying to save up for a new camera and that means I have to make some sacrifices. I do spoil myself once in a while and here are a couple of items I've purchased recently. Yay to saving money but also remembering to treat myself! 1. Photo Stands - Typo...

Back To School

lifestyle July 25, 2017
I have 4 months of high school left. I am filled with a mixture of emotions but mostly excitement. I am looking forward to life after high school. However, I have a whole bunch of exams to write before I get there. After seeing some of my June exam results, I've realised that I have to make some changes to my strategy. So,...

DIY Because You Can

creative July 21, 2017
Typo is my absolute favourite store. When I walk in I just fall in love with everything. I wish I could buy it all and although my heart is saying yes my bank account is disagreeing. So, I can't have it all but I can have the DIY kits and that's okay with me. They are my latest obsession so if you want...

Baby, It's Cold Outside

fashion July 17, 2017
Winter is so confusing. Just because the sun is out doesn't mean that it's warm and Johannesburg is way colder than Pretoria. So, basically those are some of the things I learnt on the day I wore this outfit.  Ever since I started seeing all the cool girls on Instagram wearing these pom-pom keyrings I knew it was a trend I couldn't miss...

Everything Is Changing

life July 14, 2017
I started the year 2017 just like every other year, with a list of goals and a positive attitude. However, this year has been nothing like the other years. The past few years haven't been the easiest and I went through difficult challenges. I was able to overcome some of those challenges but I have always battled to let go. I believe that...

All About Tees

fashion July 06, 2017
There was a point in my life where I absolutely hated t-shirts. I just thought they were too plain and boring. I have come a long way since then and t-shirts are probably my favourite piece of clothing at the moment. Just throw on a tee and a pair of jeans and you are sorted. It's that simple and lately simple has been...

17 Goals for 2017

goals July 04, 2017
We are half way through the year. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was writing down my goals for 2017. So much has happened already and I'm almost done with my final year of high school. Everything is happening way too quickly. I thought it would be a good idea to slow down and look back at my goals for...

3 Year Blogiversary!

Blogiversary June 30, 2017
3 years ago I published my first blog post on here. I do not even remember a single thing about that day. I was fifteen years old and I had no idea what I was doing.  Three years down the line and so much has changed yet, surprisingly so much has remained the same. I'm eighteen now and I still have no idea...

I Don't Know What I'm Doing

fashion June 25, 2017
I have been away for so long. It just seemed like everything was happening at once so I just needed a little break. This is the longest break I've taken since I started my blog and I honestly don't know how to feel about that. I am feeling motivated and inspired to do a whole bunch of stuff so I guess you can...

Justin Bieber Purpose World Tour Johannesburg South Africa

concert May 18, 2017
When Justin Bieber performed in South Africa a couple of years ago I wasn’t much of a Belieber but as soon as I found out he was coming to South Africa again this year I knew I had to go. I waited in line for 3 hours the day the tickets went on sale and it seemed like ages before the day of...
