Twenty Five

We have an extra special tradition in my household where we cut down the remaining days on a tape measure. Today marks 25 more calendar days until I graduate high school.

{Wij zijn er bijna = We're almost there}

The next stage of my life is very exciting, and holds many new adventures that I can't wait to see unfold.
On the Tuesday after I leave high school (after much partying...), I will be travelling to Melbourne with my dear Mum. We'll be shopping, marketing, exploring and eating for ten days, when we travel back home.
I am also trying very hard to get a job: any job is great, but unfortunately I have received no contact in terms of interviews.

I am hoping to start blogging for a living, I'm unsure of how to go about it.
I'd love to start reviewing products, particularly beauty products, especially organic/all natural.
I have started to recieve some samples in the mail, and you'll be seeing a few reviews around here in the future.

I also hope to begin a youtube channel, similar to Zoella or Tanya Burr, where I will show you my 'empties', favourite drug store products, and my reviews of products (in terms of "natural ingredients" and "appropriate for a redhead"). We'll see how that goes. If I get enough facebook likes than I may begin.

I ♥ holidays!!

Yes, you guessed it. It's finally summer holidays!
After one of the most stressful and emotional school terms of my life, I am finally here.
I have my goals set straight. No more stressing. Just fun: crafting, shopping and spending time with my friends.
Yes, I have three assignments to do over the holidays. But hey - I have two weeks to scribble some notes down and do some research - it shouldn't be so hard!
Here are some fun pictures to get you into the holiday spirit:

I hope I can get my blog into business again!

hypothetically...

what would you do if I stopped blog posting for a very long time, until I felt really interested in it?

What if I did it for good reasons?

Like trying to finish school, concentrating on my studies, trying not to feel stressed?

What if I said that blogging makes me stressed and it's meant to be for me not for others?

What if I said that I need to concentrate on MY life and MY future?

If you have any comments about this then please comment.

Because this will most likely become more then a hypothetical situation.

Embarrassment

Well.

I went out to buy some wool (for felting).

I got really hot inside and outside the shop, and my body became unaccustomed to the heat.

I started to feel like I usually do if I don't eat for a while (faint), but when I went to buy some food I had to sit down. Mum was there (luckily) to help me, but I had to lie down in the middle of the shopping center on a couchy-seat. And cry.... I was so embarrassed!

We walked in about 5 meter sections until we finally reached Shingle Inn (my favorite gluten-free cafe). Once I got there I started to shake (Louisa you know what that's like), and I thought I may have my second really bad panic attack. Luckily it went away when I (again) lay down on the couch.

Few....

Life's a real mystery isn't it?

P.S: Still needing some help with vintage stores in Central Brisbane! Any ideas?

(I need them by tomorrow... I'm going out shopping!!! Maybe I can find some owl things or cute fabrics?)
