OOTD : 30th June, 2014 - Bludge

Today I stayed in bed until lunch time, since I was up until well after 1am this morning I felt I could get away with a good lie in. I didn't really do all that much today, just hung around at home and went out to get some groceries in the evening. My life is pretty boring without work, uni and all of my school term commitments… But I guess you have probably figured that one out for yourselves, right?

Anyway, I won't bore you with any more of that!

OOTD : 29th June, 2014 - Sleepiness

Today I was awoken to the people I live with returning from their weekend away ending the torture of being in a massive house with no one else for me. All was well after I explained the BBQ incident and all that, they had sort of figured it out when they saw where the BBQ was and the gas bottle inside. 

Anyway, this afternoon I just had lunch and went and picked a friend up and brought them back to college for the afternoon. Had dinner then visited some friends before dropping my friend back in Woop Woop and going home. Got home at 1am, not fun!

Note to self : Grow a backbone!





Awkward undone buttons in the second picture, my bad! Attempting to take OOTD photos at 1am sometimes doesn't go all that smoothly. Especially when you've been half asleep all day!

OOTD : 28th June, 2014 - Lonely

Today I got up, finished filming for my haul video and taking photos for my corresponding blog post. Its actually quite difficult to film outfits by yourself, hopefully all of the footage is usable! AAfterwards I quickly went and had a look at the shops and then came home where I have sat on the lounge watching crime shows on Foxtel, you would of thought that I would of learnt my lesson last night!

Nope, anyway, they're not home yet so I am about 80% sure I'm home alone again tonight…

Today we also had really strong winds in the afternoon and the BBQ fell off the back patio down about a metre. I've put it right way up but I couldn't get it back up the stairs so I guess I have to explain that when they get home. 

Anyway, tonight I might begin editing my haul video, apply for more jobs (since I redid my resume today, woo, productive!) and hopefully have an early night!




My cosy and comfortable outfit, a go to when I am just lounging around at home.

OOTD : 27th June, 2014 - All By Myself

Today I was at home pretty much all day by myself so I decided to do some filming for my YouTube channel, what a debacle! Firstly, I cleaned my room and sat down to film and all my camera batteries were dead flat so I went to charge them, my charger wouldn't work so I drove around with them charging in my car because that was the only way it was working. Went and bought a new adapter for my charger, came home, charged the batteries and then filmed. 

I hope you appreciate that effort, I really do. 

Other than that I have pretty much been home by myself all day until the people I live with came home for about an hour and then packed their bags and went away for the night, or weekend, they aren't sure how long they're going to be gone.

So I am in this massive house by myself at night time.. What a perfect time to watch a Law and Order SVU marathon, am I right? Oh, so wrong! Now I am jumping at every little sound and I am pretty much cornered if anyone comes to this end of the house.. I take back everything I ever said about wanting to be left alone in this house!

I have always had a love for this top, I think the neckline is a super flattering shape for my body!

Anyway, I hope you have all had a fabulous day with plans to get lots of sleep tonight.. Me, not so much! If I actually get a good nights sleep tonight I will be super surprised!

P.S. Carpet burn - day two, not pretty! Looking worse than yesterday, eek!

OOTD : 26th June, 2014 - It's Over, For Now Anyway

This morning I had my last exam for the semester. I am honestly so thankful and relieved that it is over, I thought I was going crazy by the end of it, theres only so much lack of sleep and food can do to your mental health! Anyway, its over now, for the next month I have no uni and no job - its going to be a long month. Of course I will be looking for work while I am on break, fingers crossed something pops up soon!

I also went to ESL today after my exam. Playing with little children is good stress relief, the painful carpet burn on my ankle from playing sleeping lions is not so nice. Whoever said sleeping lions was a safe, painless game has obviously never thrown themselves down on the floor to play as well as I did today!

After all that I did some grocery shopping (if you can call getting bread and milk grocery shopping) and came home and had a relaxing nap! Weee, holidays! Guilt free naps here I come!

I know this looks relatively small and therefore painless but it is right in the crook of my ankle where my leg and for join so every time I move my foot it hurts. Also, getting socks over it was not the nicest of experiences, my bad!

Anyway, I hope you all had a great day with no sleeping lions related injuries!

OOTD : 25th June, 2014 - Break Day

So today I had no exams, so I got a break for the day. I decided early on that I was going to just hang about at the house, I had no intentions of studying for tomorrows exam because I have pretty much passed the unit already and I have been attending lectures and tutorials like a real student for this class all semester so I didn't have heaps to get caught up on or anything.

Anyway, with all intentions of staying in my pyjamas all day but as it turns out I had to go to the Apple Store to get a replacements charger for my Macbook Pro because mine got a split in it and I have been told previously to take it in as soon as that happens because I have extended warranty anyway.

Other than that quick trip, I vacuumed downstairs this afternoon and had the most disguising scrambled eggs of my life.. Delightful!

I also just got out of a super hot shower with a headache so I think it will be pain killers and bed after I finish uploading this post and such. 

Raise the roof, not even 8:30pm!

Does anyone else find unwrapping Apple products super satisfying while also not wanting to do it because they're packaged so damn nicely!

The battle is real!

Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful day! Tomorrow is exam three of three, guess I'll see you on the flip side!

OOTD : 24th June, 2014 - Windy

Today I had a bit of a sleep in because my exam wasn't until the afternoon. So I took my time having breakfast, getting ready and did a little bit of revision before heading off. I left super early because I was unsure about how the parking situation at uni would be since its a peak parking time during term time but since its only the exam period I found a park super quickly, which meant I had about an hour to kill before my exam started.. Boo!

Anyway, exam over. I have just hung around at home for the rest of the day. Bought tickets to see Boyce Avenue in September as well as a meet and greet pass! Super excited! I remember when I first discovered these guys a long way back but it was just after they had toured Australia so I have been waiting patiently for them to come back. I guess patience is a virtue!

Wee, hurry up September!





I took my OOTD pictures in the daytime because I wanted to make sure it had me in real shoes and not my ugg boots and since I got home from my exam in the mid afternoon the sun was shining through my bathroom window, hence the awkward sunny patch and hence why the rest were taken outside of my bathroom!

I also have some items on eBay up for sale if you want to check out my eBay here! Currently there are only two items but I have plans for much more to go up when I get out of this exam induced funk!

Anyway, I hope you all had a lovely day!

OOTD : 23rd June, 2014 - One Down!

Today I had to get up super early (for me, anyway) for an exam. I feel like exams that early in the morning aren't fair on those who aren't morning people, surely it effects performance if you're not awake and alert in the wee hours!

Anyway, once I finished my exam I came home, had a sleep, did a little bit of study, went out for dinner and then returned home where I studied a little more and then had a shower and hopped into bed (which is where I am writing this from). My exam tomorrow isn't until 1:30pm so I am going to get up at around 10am and do some cramming/revision before getting ready and going!

I am going to be so much happier once this week is over! I am feeling the stress, like I said in yesterdays post, my muscles are aching from tensing in my sleep!

I didn't wear my uggs to the exam, I wore my combat boots but they mark the white tiles on the floor at home so I try to wear them in the house as little as possible!

Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful day! I am hoping to film you a haul on Friday if all goes to plan!

OOTD : 22nd June, 2014 - So It Begins

Today I posted a package to a woman who bought a pair of jeans from me last night, I stupidly told her I would send them today forgetting it was a Sunday, but I prevailed! Ran around like an idiot looking for a Post Office that was open, found one with half an hour before it closed.

Did a bit of study but I have resigned myself to the fact that if I don't know the information yet I am probably never going to and I don't want to stress myself out anymore than I already am. Noticed that I was really tense this morning and I woke up with sore muscles and a super sore jaw so the stress must be getting to me physically as well as mentally.. Anyway, it'll be over on Thursday!

Other than that I just dropped a friend home, hung around at home and played with the kids.

OOTD : 21st June, 2014 - Torture

I have absolutely had it with studying for exams! I am so excited for this time next week when I am on holidays because I am pretty sure that by the end of the exam period my brain is going to be the mushiest thing since baby food! So mentally exhausted! I am also really hoping that actually studying for exams (for once) will have an effect on my marks, even just a tiny bit! 

Although, if I have a dramatic increase in my marks I wouldn't be opposed! 

Anyway, today I studied (obviously), ducked down to the shops or a study break and didn't really do much else. 

I was going to go to Forster with my mum and sister if I didn't have exams, anyway, it hailed a ridiculous amount up there that they sent me photos that made it look like it had snowed and I so desperately wanted to be there with them! It would of been the first big storm with hail that my cousins experienced and photos just don't give you the same feeling of seeing it for yourself!

Annnddd, I just got a text from Optus about my data usage and how the guy in the store lied about the plan he put me on.. He said that for $10 I would get an extra GB of data but it turns out I only get 512mb more per $10.. Phone companies shit me to no end! Another piece of crap I have to deal with!

Blergh, I am not in the mood!

Anyway, guess where I'm going to go tomorrow to blow my lid.. Yep, Optus! The trainee that served me better not be working tomorrow, I will flip my shit!

Far out, not in the mood for this!

Anyway, sorry for the rangy frustration that was this blog post! I hope you all had a wonderful day!

OOTD : 20th June, 2014 - Mum Day Fun Day!

Today my mum came down to see me for the day. We spent many hours at the shops together, mostly laughing about how jumpers only seem to come in cropped lengths and extra long length these days and how clothes are so much more expensive than they should be..

We also hung about at my place this evening watching funny videos and jokingly spooning each other in my bed. I feel like most mothers and daughters end up snuggled in bed together at one point or another. Anyway, after that we had a bite to eat and mum headed home. Which means today has been the first day in a couple of weeks where I have not done any study and boy was that weird.. 

So much to do in the next two days before exams start. No pressure, eek!

My jeans are dark blue in case you can't tell from the photo. The lighting in my bathroom is super dim! Also, I ate more today than I have in the last week so I am going to go to bed and sleep off the feeling of discomfort I am currently experiencing. 

I hope you all had a wonderful day with the people you love!

OOTD : 18th & 19th June - Double Whammy! Centrelink & Shopping

So I didn't upload yesterdays OOTD on the day it was supposed to be (yesterday), my bad! Between studying for exams and barely sleeping my brain has become a little bit of a mess. I intended on doing it this morning but forgot and was so busy today that  just decided to put two days in one post. 

Being economical and shit!

18th June, 2014

So yesterday (the 18th) I had things to do for Centrelink. Heres some solid logic for you 'we can't backpay you because you made an error in not returning forms that we have no record of sending' okayyy. Right, so they are saying I am in the wrong for not returning forms to them in time, even though they never sent the forms..

Mindfuck whattt!?

Can someone please explain that to me! Anyway, my whole day consisted of running around like an idiot for centrelink and studying like an idiot.

Party on!

19th June, 2014

Today I had ESL creche, which was hectic as usual. Then I ventured down to the City Chic outlet for a look. Drove back, realised I hadn't really eaten anything all day, got a frappe, went grocery shopping and then came home ready to fall in a heap for the evening.. Forgetting that my room was a mess and I had study to do!

Seriously, 1 more week until exams are over! Note to self, stay on top of your uni work next semester!

OOTD : 17th June, 2014 - Why Do They Have The 'Stu' On Studying? It Should Just Be Called Dying!

This morning I was supposed to go to playgroup to help out but when my alarm went off at 9am I just couldn't get myself out of bed to go so I ended up staying in bed until midday.. My bad! The fact that I have been sleeping at super weird hours and not eating that well is beginning to take its toll on my body. After exams I will be getting myself back into routine and all that business!

So today I obviously studied. Made a small trip to McDonalds and Officeworks to just get out of the house for w little while before I came back home and studied again. 

This is pretty much how my life is going to be until exams are over! Just a little more than a week to go! It can't come quick enough if I am completely honest, but still no job so I am going to have so much free time on my hands during holidays!
