A Book Haul | Books

As it is now 2015 I thought it would be fitting to by some new books for my collection. With the gift cards I received at Christmas I bought these books. I have been eyeing them all for a while now and decided to go for it and buy them.

Work Experience At Girlfriend Magazine | Tips

So in September 2014 I went to Girlfriend Magazine, which is located in Sydney, for work experience. Before leaving for work experience I tried to read up as much as possible on what to expect and some tips on what to do. These provided helpful tips and resulted in me having an amazing week at a magazine. However I didn't find much to help me. So I decided to write a bit on my experience at Girlfriend Magazine and any tips or tricks I have.

Now, a little disclaimer. I was only at work experience for one week and lots of different projects were happening. The team was so lovely and welcoming and so were the other workies. I'm basing these tips on what I experienced. Some may work for you, others may not. I cant stress this enough. The overall advice is to act professional and be yourself!

The Parcel #1 | Beauty

Hello lovelies.

So I purchased a beauty box from Girlfriend Magazine which is called The Parcel. This box gets delivered every two months with a bunch of full sized and mini beauty products to try. I decided to jump on board and buy a subscription.

New Years Resolutions | Lifestyle

For the last week I have been wondering, do I make a resolution for next year or not? This is probably the conundrum most are facing. If you are anything like me you know that resolutions don't really work. For about a week I stick to the resolution, then I either forget or just cant be bothered and give up.

Top Three Dystopian Books | Books

When I first got into reading I read nothing but dystopian novels. I have grown from that though and have branched out into different genres but my heart still belongs to dystopian. I have moved away from this genre as it is becoming slightly repetitive but for anyone not sure where to start with this genre have I complied a list of the top three dystopian reads (in my opinion).

3. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
If you have been hiding under a rock for the last three years, The Hunger Games is one of the most popular dystopian novels. It is well written and quite enjoyable even though it is a book about a bunch of kids trying to kill each other.

My Christmas Wish List

Dear Santa,

I know I usually ask for lots for Christmas, this year is no different. All though I'm not asking for a unicorn or a new Barbie doll, I am still asking for something materialistic. I know I should ask for world peace or something along those lines but as much as I would like that I know it is a tad unreasonable.

So of course I am asking for makeup.

The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski | Book Review

Hello people!

So I have started to read through my mammoth 'to be read' pile. Near to the top was The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski. MANY people have said that this book was amazing and that I should read it straight away.

I have to admit that the blurb on the back of the book sucked me in straight of way.  But...I didn't enjoy the book as much as I thought I would.
