Favourite booktubers

Sorry about this awful image

Lately I've been feeling really uninspired to read. When that happens, which it does, I find the best thing to cure it is good bout of BookTube. What's booktube you ask? Well it's that part of YouTube completely dedicated to books and reading. People who love books and reading upload videos reviewing, recommending and hauling books and for me it really gets me in the mood for reading. So today I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite booktube channels.

Regan from Peruse Project

Twitter | Instagram | Goodreads

Regan is a stateside YouTuber that's all into fantasy and historical fiction. She's absolutely hilarious and so enigmatic. If you're looking to branch into the fantasy genre she's got some great recommendations for easy going fantasy but also epic fantasy. She uploads very regularly and has great book taste. 

Jen from Jen Campbell

Twitter | Instagram | Goodreads

Jen is an author, reader and bookshop owner from the UK who talks about books beautifully. I find her super inspiring when I'm having a reading slump or don't know what to read and is great and recommending unheard of books. I could literally watch her videos all day. 

Rose from Rose Mannering

Twitter | Instagram |

Rose is an author also from the UK who is in the process of writing her second book. She has a really similar book taste to mine so I often find good books on her channel. She also uploads videos about her writing process which I really like watching and it's a really good element to her channel.

Lauren from Reads and Daydreams

Twitter | Instagram | Goodreads

Lauren is quite a new booktuber and I only discovered her last weekend but I binge watched all her videos in an afternoon and adore her. She's so sweet and lovely and really funny and obviously has a great taste in books. She's not afraid to say if she hated a book which I think is great. She uploads reviews, hauls, wrap ups and TBR's in a non-monthly format which is something I also love. Great new channel to subscribe to here. 

So that's my four favourite booktubers. I know they're all ladies but that's not purposeful they're just the booktubers I'm subscribed too that are always talking about books I'd most likely read. 

What are your favourite booktube channels you think I should subscribe too?

Until next time,

The travellers make up bag

If you ask anyone that knows me they will tell you I'm a make up hoarder. I love make up - wearing it, buying it, everything about it. But, when you're travelling around the last thing you want is to be weighed down with loads of make up both in terms of luggage and on your face. However, I like to know I've got something should the occasion arise when I want to dress up a little bit more - going for dinner, going for drinks, these are instances when I'd want a little bit of make up. So I've compiled a list of the things I think you should take travelling for those occasions without the feeling of being weighed down by make up.

Base wise I'd opt for a light foundation such as Rimmel's Wake Me Up or a BB cream. Both of these will give nice coverage without being cakey. The Wake Me Up foundation and BB creams also have the effect of making the skin look light and dewy for that alive, awake look even if you're really not. In Australia you can by a foundation stick with zinc that acts as a UV shield. Its a heavier coverage than a BB cream of the Rimmel foundation but I find it really great just as a concealer. A must for bases in Australia is that they contain SPF so make sure they do before purchasing. 

I also have a concealer for under my eyes as I'm prone to dark circles. When I was working on the farms and doing 10-12 hour days they were particularly bad and that's when I really found this to be an essential. I really like the Rimmel Match Perfection concealer for under eyes. 

A great idea for make up when travelling is make up that can multi task. I use a Revlon quad of eye shadows both for eyeshadows but also for my eyebrow colour. Obviously for this to work you'll have to find a quad with a colour that works for your brows but something that will work for a neutral eye as well. Also a bronzer. You may think how is that a multi tasking product. I've found if I want just a bit of gold on my eye lids as a something but not too much look my Body Shop bronzer is great. 

However, when it comes to eyes all you really need is a decent eyeliner and mascara. I have a waterproof and non-waterproof mascara as non-waterproof is so much easier to remove but out here you never know when you're going to end up at the beach. I've found a kohl eyeliner is better than liquid as you can smudge it out for a more smokey look. 

Something else to note is the price of make up. When you're travelling things might get broken in your bag or lost or left somewhere so cheaper, drugstore brands are the way forward here, I think. Also most days you probably won't wear any make up so you don't want expensive stuff just sitting around possibly going off. 

So that's my travel make up bag, what are your essentials for travelling?

Until next time,

Why should you vote?

Photo Credit

The general election is coming up, 7th May to be exact and that means an up coming influx of party leaders telling you why you should vote for them and why they're the best party for you. You're probably say the line 'politicians they're all the bloody same, nothing will change' and you won't feel like going to vote. Well today I'm going to tell you why you should. In 2010 only 24% of under 25's voted for that exact reason, they just don't bother because they don't see the point. This year it's important this changes. 

So why should you vote? 

For generations people have campaigned and died for the right to vote, in the UK historically but in other countries even now. If you're over 16 in the UK you have the privilege of living in a democracy where you can vote to decide who runs the country you live in. It's not a privilege every one in the world has so you really should take advantage of that privilege and head down to the polling station and put an x in the box to get your voice heard. That's really all it takes, ten minutes tops. 

If you still think that's not reason enough to do it, don't fear I have more. 

With a low percentage of young voters it means that young people's voices aren't heard and their opinions are cast aside. In tough economic times governments do have to make cuts and as harsh as it is they'll make cuts where the lowest percentage of voters are and yes, that the young. If people don't vote the government isn't a true representation of what the British public want. If you want things to change, if you want your voice to be hear you have to go out and vote. It's really as simple as that. 

I know, on the face of it, it seems like every political party is the same. They're going to change the same thing and it will have the same effect whatever party is leading. Well that's not really true. Political parties have got different policies for different things and there's likely to be one that you'll agree with more than the others. It's easy to find out about a party's policies, check out the Bite the Ballot YouTube channel and in particular the leaders live playlist for information on most of (though no the Conservatives) policies that really effect young people as they answer questions from young people. You can also find all the political parties manifestos on big policies online with the BBC.  

You've heard it before but politics really does effect everything. Education, NHS, immigration, housing and transport. Everything. And they're all things that effect your everyday life. Your bus fare, your tuition fee's, your free health care etc, etc, etc. You definitely have a view on these things and political parties will be making manifestos about these issues and telling you about them, some you'll agree with some you won't but that's what helps you decide who to vote for. Your views might be different to your friends and your families so make sure you're voting for the party you really think is doing things you want to see happen and not just because your mum's told you to vote for them.

Voting is so important. Make sure you register to vote before the election and check out the about my vote website for more information. There's heaps of information about voting, the general election, political parties and politics in general online so there's no need to feel ignorant even if the education system failed at teaching you anything about politics. 

Was that too political? Oh well,

Until tomorrow...

Mt Warning tips

If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that a few weeks ago I climbed Mount Warning. The Mount Warning rainforest park is located between the Gold Coast and Byron Bay and is in New South Wales. It's a beautiful area even if you don't want to climb a mountain. There's some cost villages, waterfalls, flat rainforest walks and much more to be discovered. 

After climbing the mountain, which don't be fooled is hard work, I found I wish I'd been told a few things before hand. So I figured to help any of you lovely readers who might find yourself wishing to climb Mount Warning, I'd compile a list of tips for the experience. You can also visit the Mt Warning experience website but I didn't find their tips all that useful but it's great for letting you know about what's around the area and also about the sunrise walk if you wish to do that and the option of doing it with a group from Byron Bay. 

So here's the list. 

1. Find a map to Mt Warning and double check it before setting off. This sounds obvious but I type Mt Warning rainforest park into Google maps without checking where it was taking me and it tried to take us up a very wet, boggy track through the park the base of the mountain when there is in fact no reason to go on this route unless you want to. In the end all you need to search on Google maps is Mount Warning but that would be too obvious right?
2. Be aware of when it gets dark. When you're climbing there are signs telling you not to climb after a certain time in the winter. However, even if you're climbing in the summer I would say it's still important to know when it gets dark. The climb and descent takes roughly five hours but add an hour to be safe and take that into consideration when you start climbing to work out whether it's safe due to light fading. 
3. Light loose clothing and good shoes. Again obvious but needs to be stated. I did see people in flip flops/things and even bare feet but I really wouldn't advice it. There are sharp, uneven jagged pieces of rock, not to mention snakes so a decent pair of running shoes or walking boots I think is a must. Also don't wear anything to tight or uncomfortable, definitely not a walk to do in jeans. In the winter it gets cold quickly as you climb so you might want to take a light jumper however, when we climbed (in February) we definitely didn't need any jumpers. 
4. Take your phone and no heavy cameras. The website tells you it's not necessary to take your phone as you won't get any service. However, I had one bar right until the last minute and even if you don't get any signal there is an emergency number you can call without service which is on the sign posts along the climb. On a climb you never know what could happen and if you did get injured you wouldn't really want to be without your phone. It will also make a good light camera. Unless you're some crazy photographer I really wouldn't want to take my big camera on the climb as it's just too much weight. A compact camera, GoPro or phone would be much more ideal.
5. Fruit and water. Obviously water, obviously. We took two, two litre bottles and finished them both. You'll definitely need it, but don't gulp as you may make yourself feel sick. You'll probably feel peckish when you get to the top but don't gorge yourself, again you may make yourself sick, I found an orange and a nectarine was all I needed for a bit of energy and to fill that hole. 
6. Stretch. This may sound odd and you might think 'but I don't want to look like a crazy' but stretching before you climb, at the top and when you reach the bottom again will help your muscles recover quicker and prevent too much aches and pains afterwards. Seriously, it helps. 
7. Down is not better. People will tell you it's easier on the way down, it's so much better. IT'S NOT. Going down was so much worse. By that point I was tired and aching and losing my footing a lot more, it actually took us longer to get down. So that's also something to consider before you climb in terms of daylight. Just be really careful with your feel coming back down and take your time because you really don't want to trip.

So that's it, a few tips for anyone thinking of climbing Mt Warning, or I suppose any mountain for that matter. 

Have you done it? What tips would you give?

What I learnt in my week off

Photo credit

Hello all and welcome to a brand new week. I hope it's getting off spiffingly for you. I can't believe we're in the last week of February already, time really does go too fast. Well, I'm back for my week off from blogging and I'm feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and way more inspired than I was at the beginning of last week. If you're wondering what on earth I'm talking about when I say my week off from blogging check out my last post to fill you in. 

For me blogging is a hobby and I don't want it to be a stressful thing and it was feeling a little like that last week. I felt stuck for posts, I had no inspiration to write anything at all and I any creativity had died somewhere. So I knew I needed a week off and it's done me the world off good because I'm back with five blog posts for you this week, that's one every week day, that I'm really excited to share with you so I hope you like them.

Today's post isn't something super exciting but a little one about the things I learned, or reminded myself of, in my week off and the things I need to remember every now and again all the time I'm doing this weird blogging thing. 

Numero Uno. A break is good for creativity. 

Sometimes a good, well earned break is all you need to get those creative juices going. Set the thing to one side, don't look at it and don't think about it too hard and it will come to you. 

Two. Planning posts is key.

When I first started the blog I planned every post I wrote at the beginning of each week so that whether I scheduled ahead by five days or wrote a post the night before I had a clear plan for what I wanted to say and didn't forget any important points. Some posts are better written then and there but I find just jotting down a few points I want to make helps me create a much better post. 

Trois. Being inspired by other blogs isn't copying. 

I read other blogs every day and follow my favourites on bloglovin. Sometimes I'll think oh that's a really good idea I'd like to do something like that. Obviously I'm not going to copy the blog post exactly but taking something away from another blogger's post and using it to inspire your own isn't a bad thing. Linking the original into your own post and letting the blogger know is also a great way to make connections, everyone loves to see their posts inspiring others.

Four. A lifestyle blog is anything and everything you want it to be.

Everyone's lifestyle is different so every lifestyle blog is going to be different. And it doesn't have to be about expensive candles, your latest trip to Paris or a recipe featuring ridiculously healthy ingredients to be successful (although we all love those posts). Write about your lifestyle, if you try to be something other than you it won't work.

And finally Five. Views are not what it's about.

Although every blogger loves getting more views with every post, and new followers on bloglovin for me that's not the be all and end all. It's great don't get me wrong and of course I want as many people as possible to read what I'm writing and feel inspired by it like I do with my favourite bloggers but I started this as a hobby and so I want to keep it fun and carry on posting what I want to and not what I think will get me more views or more followers. Again being you is what makes a blog succesful, trying to be succesful won't work.

So that's it a few little lessons I've learnt recently and will continue to remind myself of. Hopefully you'll get something from this too. 

What lessons have you learnt and like to remind yourself of?

Until tomorrow

A blogging break

You can now follow me on Pinterest to see all the things I'm loving and lusting

If you like my page on Facebook you will know that this week I am taking a break from blogging. This week is a little hectic and so was last week. Jack and I have got a lot of things due (insurance, van stuff all those good things) and we've been tied up in trying to sort all those things out alongside trying to find new jobs. With all this going on, although I've got heaps of exciting posts and ideas at the moment, I just haven't had the time to sit down and write them and get them scheduled to go up. 

So this week is a bit of admin week for us, and me and the blog. I've given myself a week to get back to being super organised with blog posts and scheduling and promoting so hopefully I won't need another random, unscheduled break for a while. 

Sometimes you just need a week off to chill away from the blogging world and at first it kinda feels like you might be letting readers down. But in the long run that's definitely not the case. If a week away is what you need to be a better blogger - reorganise, re-think and just to get back into the swing of things then that is what you have to do.

This week I've been planning so many blog posts for the next few weeks and even some exciting collaborations that I'm so excited for you guys to see. Don't forget you can follow me on heaps of social medias to keep up with what I'm up to when I'm away from the blogosphere this week (links in the side bar and the end of this post). 

Until next Monday,

A valentine's post

'Love means never having to say you're sorry' is a famous quote from 1970 movie, Love Story. Let's be honest they got a lot of things wrong in the 70's: men in platforms, afro hair for everyone and patterned carpet. Well I'd now like to add this quote to the list because I think love means, among other things, admitting you need to say sorry and saying sorry because you actually care. 

So here's all the things I'm sorry for, well there's probably more but here's some of them:

I'm sorry I can't drive so you have to do those long horrible drives everywhere

I'm sorry I always try to get you to come for a run with me even though I know you hate running

I'm sorry I always so no to seconds but then nick some of yours

I'm sorry I stole your KitKat and told you hadn't making you think you'd gone crazy by eating it or losing it for two whole weeks

I'm sorry I have a tendency to break things over the value of £20

I'm sorry I made you sleep with the light on one night because I was paranoid someone was going to break in

I'm sorry I wake up from crazy dreams in the middle of the night and have to tell you about them right then

I'm sorry I ask stupid questions 

I'm sorry I get drunk and want to sleep on the bathroom floor and continually ask me if you love me

I'm sorry this post is probably a bit personal

Enjoy Valentine's Day everybody, for cheap ideas on how to spend the day/weekend check out last years post.

Until Monday,

A review | The water diviner (2014)

Image credit

OPENS 26 Dec (Australia) 3 April (UK) 

Russel Crowe's directing debut was nothing but stunning. The Water Diviner, an Australian made film that will make you reconsider what you thought of Australian film, is the story of a father trying to recover his sons bodies from the battle fields of Gallipoli so they can be buried at home as he had promised his now deceased wife. The film is deep in symbolism and story telling and as he did in Lord of the Rings Andrew Lesnie shows he has a great knack of portraying beauty in landscapes when it comes to cinematography. 

At it's heart The Water Diviner is a story about the grief and loss of war but proves that when it really comes down to it no one really wins at war despite the opening scenes that see Turkish soldiers rejoicing as Australian fleets leave the shores of Gallipoli. When Crowe's character (Joshua Connor) meets the men responsible for his sons death's and eventually comes to view them as friends the film reveals the power of forgiveness had has the same kind of air as 'The Railway Man' in which Colin Firth becomes friends with man who tortured him during WW2. The film becomes an exploration of Turkish culture and respectful dissertation that the Turks were losers too. 

The beautiful scenes of modern day Turkey make the flashbacks to the darkness of the battlefield even more poignant. The switch from faultless, water colour feel Turkey to dark and grainy battlefield is textbook but it's definitely effective. Each time the switch occurs you feel your heart sink as you prepare for death, sickness, and the screams of dying soldiers.

There are problems with the film such as the annoying slow motion scenes that seem completely without purpose. The love interest in the Turkish hotel was also an annoying element that seemed unnecessary and these were the parts I found most boring as they added nothing to the parts of the film that were so well constructed and portrayed. I felt the film had a very rushed ending. Not in that I wanted to know more at the end but I felt the final few scenes were rushed through. 

However, it is all grounded in Crowe's strong performance and a reminder of the power cinema can have on emotions when everything is so in sync as it is here. 

Have you seen the film? What did you think and what other films should I go and see soon?

Until Friday,

It's okay to feel homesick

The first thing to know about homesickness is that you're not alone in how you're feeling. Anyone who's travelling away from home for an extended period of time is going to miss home, you wouldn't be human if you didn't. The second thing to know about homesickness is that, believe it or not at times, you will get over that feeling and it does go away. And the third thing to know about homesickness is, on those days where it doesn't feel like it's going to go away, it's not hard to deal with. So let's start at the beginning.

To be honest, you'll probably find yourself missing family and friends nearly every day but there's a big difference between missing them because you want to tell them things or wishing they were there too, and crying because you want to go home and see them and be with them. There will be occasions, when for no particular reason, you feel particularly homesick and you'll probably be missing one particular thing.

I remember one morning, I was stood in the bathroom on one of the farms we were working on, brushing my teeth and I just turned to Jack and cried 'I miss Molly, I want to cuddle Molly' (Molly being my dog). But after a couple of hours the feeling had gone. I mean of course I still missed her but I didn't feel the need to cry about it. 

How did I get over it so quickly?

1)  I got busy. I went out and did the work I had to do which helped take my mind of it. If you're not working, read a book, draw, write. Just get creative and get busy. 

2) I stopped for five minutes and looked through photos on my phone I'd taken before I left to come to Australia. That might seem a bit of an odd thing to do, but I always find it helpful. 

3) I looked at pictures of the awesome things I've seen and done helps. A reminder of why I'm travelling and why I'm away from home and suddenly everything is in perspective.

Travelling is a once in a lifetime opportunity, mostly, and even if it isn't the experience will never be the same twice. Enjoy it. Home will still be there when you get home but living and enjoying the present is the best thing you can do.

At times it feels like you're never going to not miss home and that's okay. But taking your mind off it by keeping busy, telling yourself why you wanted to travel and reminding yourself off all the awesome things you've done and are yet to do is sure to make you a little less homesick. I would regret it so much if I went home and the first sign of homesickness. I wouldn't have done half the things I've done and I'd now be sat at home wishing I was still here saving up money to go and dive in the Great Barrier Reef. 

For some people homesickness can be a persistent bugger, I'm lucky for me that it's been relatively fleeting moments of homesickness but I think if it was me I would write a list of all the things I still wanted to do and see and just think about what I'd be missing out on if I went home. I'd also take the first opportunity possible to talk to my parents. Go through how I'm feeling, getting it off your chest and getting advice from the people who know you best is sure to help you out. 

My biggest message here is really try to stick it out, really think about why you're away from home and talk about it with others because you definitely won't be the only one. The last thing you want to do is regret not being there when all the friends you've traveled with are uploading beautiful photos onto Facebook and Instagram. 

Homesickness does suck, but regret sucks even more. 

Have you ever felt homesick? Let me know how you dealt with it in the comments below!

Until Wednesday,

Make it YOURS banana bread

Banana bread is one of my favourite sweet treats and it's all the rage at the moment with bloggers and vloggers all over the place getting in on the banana bread band wagon. And today I'm going to add my two cents worth. I love this recipe of mine as it's super easy and all the ingredients are things you'll have in your cupboard but it's also a recipe that I've tried and tested with other varieties of ingredients and it's worked just as well. I call this my versatile banana bread as you can literally use what ever's in the cupboard that you think will work, or healthier alternatives, and it probably will - or at least it has done for me so far. So scroll on down and enjoy the end result.

You will need

285g of plain flour (I've also used almond flour and it's worked fine)

1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda

1/2 tsp of salt

110g of butter (or coconut oil, olive oil spread whatever you prefer works here)

225g of sugar of your choice (for the loaf pictured above I used brown sugar, but caster works and so does agave syrup)

2 eggs

4 very ripe, large bananas, mashed

85ml buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk normal milk with 1 1/2 tsp of lemon juice works, or almond/soy whichever milk you prefer) 

1 tsp of vanilla extract

N.B Make sure you use vanilla extract not essence, extract is taken from the vanilla bean where as essence is just a bunch of artificial flavours - even if the recipe says essence, use extract it's far better

How you make the magic happen

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4

Grease and line a loaf tin 

Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt together in a large mixing bowl

In a seperate bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy

Technique - creaming by hand: I like to use a fork for this and mash the sugar into the butter until it's combined, keep going until the butter has gone soft, fluffy and slightly lighter than it was before.

Add the eggs, mashed bananas, buttermilk and vanilla extract into the sugar and butter mixture and combine

Once you've done so fold in the flour mixture

Technique - folding: For this a spatula or wooden spoon is best, cut down through the middle of the two mixtures, across the bottom and up the side and turn the bowl a quarter turn each time you do this, you will see the two mixtures turning on top of each other carry on until they are well combined. You may find it easier to do half the flour at a time. Keep folding until the flour has disappeared.

Pour the mixture into the tin and bake in the oven for a around an hour. The bread should be golden brown and well risen. I tend to check mine every five minutes once it's been in the oven for about half an hour as sometimes you'll find the top might start going brown before the inside is cooked. If this happens just cover the top with tin foil which will will allow the rest of the loaf to continue to cook but will prevent the top from burning. 

Once it's cooked remove it from the oven and leave to cool for about ten minutes in the tin before turning on a cooling rack. 

I like to serve my banana bread warmed with butter but it tastes great cold and on its own too. 

How do you like your banana bread? Let me know if you try this recipe out in the comments below. 

Until next time,

Reviewing resolutions

Happy February everyone. Yes, the second month of the year is officially upon us (which is a little hard to believe, it's all going so quickly already) and that means we've all already had a whole month, 31 days to be exact, to get to grips with our resolutions and start working to make sure we don't get to the end of the year feeling we've let ourselves down. 

I set myself five resolutions for this year and I'll be honest I haven't done a particularly good job at making a start on all of them but here's a little review and a look at what I've been doing towards each one over the past 31 days. 

1) Be more consistent with my exercise routine. 

So far this year, apart from walking Bear and Charlie near on every day, I've done little to no exercise. More on the no scale here. I don't know why, I've had the time, space and means to do any exercise I desire but yet I've done none of the usual workouts or runs. I have been walking the dogs for roughly 30 minutes everyday so that's something I suppose but not quite what I'd hoped. So all in all this resolution will be one I'll really focus on throughout February. 

2) Get up earlier.

This has been relatively successful. Apart from weekends I've been up by 8am everyday and my goodness do I feel good for it. I feel a lot more energised and ready for a full day of doing stuff so I'm glad I made this resolution. This month I'll be trying to combine my getting up earlier with the regular exercise and hopefully more progress will be made. 

3) Take more photos.

Again this has been pretty successful. I haven't taken a photo everyday but I've taken more photos when I've had days where I'm taking photos. I've definitely documented more and I'm so glad about that because, particularly while I'm doing such fun and new things while travelling, I don't want anything to go forgotten. 

4) Make the healthiest choices.

This one has been successful for the most part too. Weekends not always, sometimes I find myself indulging a little on Saturday and Sunday but not anything to bad and let's be honest it's the weekend. However, on the whole I've felt like I've been a lot healthier throughout this month and like the waking up earlier it's definitely made me feel better - less lethargic and less bloated. 

5) Reading resolutions.

Yep I'm combining all of my reading resolutions into one for this monthly occurrence on the blog, mainly so as not to bore you and so you might actually get to the end of the post. So my reading hasn't been too good. I didn't even finished one book in the last month which is disappointing for me. I'm finding the book I'm reading to be on of those books where once you've picked it up you don't want to stop but getting to it and picking it up feels a bit of an effort so I think that's got something to do with it however, I'm hoping to finish it in the first week of February and then we'll be more on track. I've got some good books I'm really looking forward to getting to so keep your eyes out for a review soon hopefully.

So there we go, mostly the resolutions are going well I feel. How about you? How are your resolutions going? Don't forget to let me know in the comments.

Until Wednesday,
