This Christmas I scored on the makeup front. My siblings and parents just know me too well. I'm probably the easiest person to buy for because you can just get me makeup and i'll be happy as larry. Why ramble when I can just show you what I got? THIS AMAZING TARTE TREASURE BOX COLLECTORS SET *heart eyes* *struggles to breathe* guys, just.....look...it's...
Helloooo my friends! I'll come right out and say it: I have sucked at blogging in December. I mean, on the bright-side..hopefully due to bloggers ramping up their content during December (blogmas) hopefully my absence went unnoticed? In fact, i'm sure no one actually noticed at all so I think i'm off the hook. The last few weeks have been crazy busy. This...
A year ago I would have laughed at myself for thinking i'd ever be in the position to give self tanning tips and tricks BUT HERE I AM. In recent months I have become a big fake tanner. Being completely honest: I do it every week now. I just love the way it looks and because I do it so often it's become...
The definitions of introvert and extrovert are so much more than just being "shy" or "loud". It's about how you recharge, what social situations you prefer, how you open up to people, how you focus, how you respond to attention..there are so many deep rooted things in our personalities which can reflect which one we are. It's not always clear cut and there...
Flashback to 2013 and I was an 18 year old girl with a raging social life. I used to have plenty of friends, more than I could count on my fingers. I went from being quite a low-key girl in school with not a large friendship group to becoming a lot more confident and having slightly improved social skills (I used to be...
Hello! I’m currently writing this update in the car on the way to dropping my parents off at the airport (..well Dad’s currently driving and I’ll drive the way back, don’t worry I’m not being naughty and using my phone). The last few days have gotten really quite busy. After the work week I was excited to sit down and pump out a...
With a catch phrase of "Shop now. Take now. Buy in 4." it's no wonder Afterpay has become a raging success among online retailers. You know what though: i've got a bone to pick with Afterpay. I think it teaches people unhealthy habits with their money. It makes the price of a product look more appealing by dividing it by 4, telling you...
♫ Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to thechroniclesofholly...happy birthday to me! ♫ Okay now we have that uber silly and cringe song away I want to celebrate the fact that i've stuck to blogging for 3 years! It has gone by so quick, i'm amazed. It's so fun going back to old posts seeing the products I used to...
Hello everyone! Continuing on with Blogtober (blogging every day of October) i'm doing the Wanderlust Travel Tag. I thought it was quite a fun one with some interesting questions. :) 1. Where have you traveled to that you would love to travel again? Europe. I've actually been three times, and even still there is so much more of it I would love to...
"Discussion is an exchange of knowledge, argument is an exchange of ignorance". - Robert Quillen We live in a generation where more and more people have access to wide platforms for voicing their opinions. In prior decades, and without the comfort of the internet, people would resort to soap boxes and writing to newspapers to air out their thoughts on topics. These days...
In my life I think I strike a great balance of: working, catching up with friends, exercise (okay I only go for a few walks a week but that still counts right?) and being at home. As i'm naturally more introverted I cherish being a homebody and chilling around my house when I can. Sometimes i'll be productive and do some work and...
Everyone has their "thing". Some it may be baking, reading a lot of books, photography, sports..mine happens to be music. Music is just my absolute passion and I love nothing more than discovering new bands and going to various concerts. I'm always making playlists for myself and friends, burning CD's for my car (yes i'm still a little oldschool, I love my mix...
Now this isn't really going to be a proper life update but just a post to announce.....i'm going to be doing Blogtober! If you don't know Blogtober is basically where you post everyday for the month of October. I'm quite excited for this challenge and have a notebook full of ideas for various posts. I did my first post of the month yesterday...
Colourpop is quickly becoming one of my favourite makeup brands ever. It's super affordable and pretty much every product i've used by theirs I have LOVED (minus the ultra matte lips which are more drying than the sahara desert). I did an order with my sister and my parcel finally arrived a few days ago. Honestly, nothing makes me become crazy like ordering...
Guys i've got the guilts. I haven't done a blog post in 12 days and...I feel baddd. in my defense the last few weeks have been super busy with work and going away for the weekend so there really hasn't been time to rustle anything together. Also I always like to post stuff that i'd want to read myself! Last week my mum...
It seems like this brand just came out of NOWHERE. My sister mentioned it to me saying she had heard some good things about it, then an ad for The Ordinary popped up on facebook, then I saw a few blog posts..and it made me realize: I must try this brand. The Ordinary is a cruelty free Canadian brand which offers high quality...
