When I started my graduate job, I had big dreams. These dreams included a zero based budget and savings goals that in hindsight were slightly unrealistic and didn’t allow for me to purchase anything outside of the bare bare basics. But this year and 3 months into a new job, I’ve made it my new year’s resolution to pursue something of a no buy year. So here’s how it’s going to happen.
Read MoreI can hand on heart say that I used to have a tendency to overpack. It used to be so over the top that my parents consistently ask me "how heavy my case was", just so my dad could tell me how his bag was 15kg under the limit. I just like to be prepared, okay?!

And since that first post over a year ago, I’ve had a couple of small declutters, but it’s definitely time for a new one (and with this declutter has come new storage!)

So here are the steps I've taken to make my life feel far more organised and put together.
Read MoreSince January, I've been writing about my journey with minimalism and how that works not only with my life but also as my role as a beauty blogger. And one of my most popular posts has been on my insane makeup declutter where I reduced my makeup stash to a quarter of what it used to be.
It's now been four months since I posted my minimalist makeup collection and I thought I'd do a bit of an update and a declutter.
Read MoreThese shelves have been the bane of my aesthetic existence for goodness knows how long. No matter what I seemed to rearrange or declutter, it never looked right and as this is the only open storage in my room, it was something I couldn't ignore.
