Life in pictures.

Hey guys it's Jess!

Recently I went out and bought a new camera to take shots for my blog and other things that I would love to take photos of. I've always been one to like photography but never really took it all that seriously because people would always assume I'm just following the crowd. I have been interested in this for ages and I would never want to make a 'job' out of it per say. I just really like photographing things. 

So I was messing around with it while outside with my dogs today (while taking photos for an upcoming blog) because I thought I'd take some nice shots just quickly and check out all the different modes etc. and just have a mess around and I came upon some really nice shots I'd love to share with you guys. 
Look at this cutie pie.





I have edited all these photos to make them look a lot better, except one. I'm really unhappy with one editing of the photo but I just didn't know what else to do. Maybe when I change the editing on it I'll reupload it here. 

I hope you enjoyed this. See you next week!

5 Things I like in my Bedroom.

Hey guys it's Jess

Ever since I have moved into my new house (I use the term new loosely) I haven't been able to perfect my bedroom. This bedroom is a lot smaller than my old bedroom which makes it hard to make any decisions about placements of beds etc. But I thought today would be a great day to talk about my top 5 things I like that are in my bedroom (these are in no particular order).

  1. My bookcase. This is so useful, it may not have many books on it nor books you might like but ugh I just love books. It's also really handy to have my tv and other nic nacs on it as I don't really have anywhere else to put these things.
  2. My bed. Like seriously, who doesn't love their bed! 
    Ignore the messy bed
  3. My duchess. It might look messy and might look like I never use it. But I do. This thing is my gem. This house does not have a full length mirror so that mirror is one of the best things I have ever owned. It also is something I inherited from my grandmother who I love dearly. 

  4. My floating shelves. Since this bedroom is a lot smaller than my bedroom from my old house these shelves are a life saver. If only I had more room to put more up!

  5. My blue wall. The photo probably does this no justice. But I have forever loved the colour blue and have always wanted to paint my room a perfect blue and I must say this is pretty close to perfect. This wall has taken me 18 years to achieve and I'm so happy it has FINALLY become a reality. 

I'm sorry this is so late. I got so annoyed on Friday, then was so busy on the weekend with my two party things I had on and then I had assignments I figured I should do to get them out of the way.
But I will see you this weekend!

Girly Girl?

Hey guys it's Jess!

Are you a girly girl? Or do you wish you were more girly? Or even just wish you knew more hairstyles? Yeah well the last two are me. In the last 3 years I've worn 2 hairstyles (with like 2 variations of the hairstyle). There's my updo which wasn't really 'up' half the time, which I would change to a side ponytail every other day (how vanilla right?). Then I'd just wear it down and on occasion with twirly things on the side (adventurous, I know!). 






Now since going to university and I don't know just living my life a bit more I've realised I want to be a bit more 'girly' and use make-up and do my hair fancy and you know do something different every once in a while. So I taught myself how to fishtail braid this week (I obviously watched youtube videos). It's really quiet bad but at least I can do something different now, once I get a little better. You have to realise this is a BIG deal for me since I could not even plait before this week because I'm a pretty uncoordinated person. 

Also while trialing hairstyles I've figured out that I look much better with my hair higher up rather than where I'd wear it previously (which Sophie has been telling me since first year). Which means my go to hairstyle now is just a variation on my first style just up a bit and it's so much less hassle than my earlier one.




So now my next challenge is doing my makeup, just in general.
Wish me luck! 

See you next week!

Awkward Introductions.

Hey there guys it's Jess!


I'm in my third year of university studying teaching. My life is pretty boring but I'm here to blog about it. Isn't that adorable! I'm hoping to update every week (which will probably be a Friday or Saturday) depending on what my week has been like or how hectic my week is. 


So this week I should probably give you at least 10 facts you might like to know about me (other than the ones that I've already mentioned).




  1. My favourite band is from England and they never tour here. Which is a total bummer.
  2. I live in a little town in Australia. 
  3. I am not on prac at the moment. 
  4. I have two jobs (money is still limited)
  5. I'm not a big colour person
  6. I'm the youngest of three children in my family
  7. I'm three years out of high school and I'm so glad.
  8. I spend my time on youtube and tumblr (surprise surprise that I'm blogging).
  9. I feel like the unsuccessful child
  10. When I eat things I have to eat it in a certain order, I can not deal eating it any other way. 
Well this is my first blog and I will see (well you know, you'll read) my blog next week! 

Bye guys!
