Firstly, people take social media waaay too seriously. They rely on it to feel connected and a social part of society. While at the same time studies are showing that social media is making us depressed as we now are able to compare ourselves to others 24/7 and feel like crap if our witty status didn't get as many likes as you would have hoped. If you look at my own personal facebook page, the last thing I posted as a status was just hoping everyone was safe in the awful storm that recently hit my hometown and a large chunk of NSW. My facebook page has my workplaces, but not their whereabouts, a vague mention of my city "Newcastle" and my relationship status. Yes you can google me and find out things, but most of that you'll probably learn from my blog. Ignoring the fact that I now use Facebook to promote Permanent Procrastination, I use it to keep in touch with friends. Friends by the rough definition of people I actually like and want to keep in contact with. People seem to have a hard time with Facebook, too many people can see their things, (change your privacy settings people!) unwanted comments on posts, (privacy settings again) and then people in real life who you either don't have on Facebook or potentially people who don't even have a Facebook, know what you're up to. Which is just downright creepy. Now while I can't stop my elderly family members calling each other up and chatting about how I went to see some movie with my longterm partner and seemed to have a good time. (There's worse things that they could be rambling about) I can stop people that I seriously don't like or have no interest talking to from seeing any of my business. Every now and then I like to scroll through my all of my Facebook friends and ask myself a simple question. Would I smile and say hello to this person down the street? It seems dumb but do you know how easy it is to accumulate people on Facebook that you would physically avoid if you saw them in person. Do you actually want those people to know anything about you at all? Because I don't. Screw those guys! People like that only want to know things about you so that they can talk about you to others in some sad jealous way most likely. If I don't want to talk to these people in person I definitely don't care what's happening in their lives and could care less if they knew what was going on in mine. I have just over 220+ friends on Facebook and I don't think that your personal profile is a social media site where you should just be collecting people. So to answer the opening question, If I don't (or wouldn't) talk to you in person then I don't want you on Facebook. Cya! xx Follow Me on Bloglovin' / Follow Me on Instagram
New York City was cold. Freezing in fact. The coldest weather I have ever been in, in my life. Lil ole Australia is generally more of a hotter climate, with the winter temperatures where I live, occasionally reaching maybe 10 degrees C (50F) at the lowest. In New York City I was ever so luckily subjected to -20 degrees C (-4F) which is bloody ridiculous. I wore quite a few layers. Including fleece lined tights, underneath my jeans. Then socks and shoes. I was only kind of prepared. Here is my basic daily outfit for while I was in New York City. Puffer Jacket with Faux Fur Hood | Cropped Fisherman Sweater | Twig Super High Waisted Jeans | Scoop Neck Tee | Dr Martens | You can see the rest of my gear and some accessories here. The only issue with dressing so warm was immediately sweating whenever you walked inside of a building and were faced with all of their heating. So wearing a short sleeved shirt under the sweater helped with that. Especially as my jacket was so so warm as it is lined with down. My Dr Marten boots were perfect as well for walking through puddles and snow being waterproof leather. My feet were a lot warmer than Josh's. (My Puffer Jacket is FatFace but it's no longer available online)

Back in January I was approached by a super cute company called Kettle Town that makes different kinds of tea in Sydney, to write for their blog. A part of their website called Kettle Town Tales. The first topic that I got from them was High Tea, and it's just been posted up on their website now! Which I am super happy about! So please read, enjoy and comment.

Building your dream home can be a fascinating process, but it can also be daunting if you don't know where to start. In this blog post, we will provide some helpful tips to those looking to build their dream home. We will cover everything from budgeting to finding the right builder for you. So, whether you are still only dreaming of your new home or have already started the process, this blog post is for you. 1) Create a BudgetThis will help you determine how much money you need to save or borrow and what kind of home you can afford. There are a lot of costs associated with building a home, so it is important to be realistic about your budget. If you are unsure where to start, many online resources can help you create a budget for your project. Additionally, if you already have a property with a home, you might want to look into why it might be better to knock down and rebuild than trying to find an empty block of land to start fresh. 2) Find the Right Contractor Once you have created your budget, the next step is to find the right team for your project. This is an important decision, as the quality of your home will largely depend on the builders you choose. When looking for a builder, be sure to research their experience and reviews from previous clients. You can also ask for recommendations from friends or family who have built before. Once you have found a few builders that you are interested in, be sure to get quotes from them. This will help you compare prices and find the best builder for your project. 3) Choose the Best Location This may seem like a daunting task, but there are a few things you can keep in mind to make the process easier. First, consider what kind of climate you want to live in. Do you want to be in a warm climate all year round, or do you prefer cooler temperatures? Are you moving far away or staying reasonably close to where you already live? You might want to choose a location close to amenities that are important to you. For example, if you have children, you may want to select a location close to good schools. Or, if you work from home, you may want to choose somewhere that you can have good internet access. 4) Start Building Your Home Now that you have a budget, a builder, and a location for your home, it is time to start the building process! This is where the fun begins. Be sure to stay involved in the project, and don't be afraid to ask questions. The more you know about the process, the easier it will be for you to make decisions along the way. Additionally, stay on top of the budget and don't let things get out of control. Building your dream home can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it is also a lot of work and can quickly become more expensive than planned. Building your dream home is a huge undertaking, but it is possible with planning and research. By following these tips, you will be well on your way to creating the home of your dreams.

Try to alternate days or complete a small task each day. You won’t feel as though its a burden on your time if you manage it this way. Your home will also become cleaner across a few days, in fact, completing your cleaning in this way can lead to a healthier home. Cleanliness is essential in order to keep your home free of germs, try to maintain a proper clean up routine as this will help you a lot. Keep Your Space Dry Having a high level of moisture and humidity can mean you’re providing a more favourable condition for germs like fungi, viruses and bacteria to live. You should utilize fans to keep your home dry. When you clean floors, use the shower and bath make sure you switch on the fans to dry it quicker. It will allow you to keep your rooms dry and limit to the chance of mould. Proper Ventilation Areas in your home that are free from sunlight are prone to germs, this means you need to ensure you have proper ventilation throughout your home especially in rooms such as the kitchen or bathroom. Make an effort to open windows and doors if the weather allows for it. It will help to purify the air in your home and limit the chance of germs breeding. Disinfect Your Cleaning Sponge It’s vital that you keep your cleaning equipment clean. It may sound silly but you always make sure that items such as clothes and sponges are disinfected after being used. At the end of the day, these are what you’re using to wipe the germs away so the last thing you want to do is to leave them to multiply as you risk wiping even more germs around your home the next time you use it. Once your sponge has seen better days. It’s best to replace it. You can often buy multipacks of clothes and sponges so keep a few spare in your cleaning kit. Do Laundry Everyday This may seem like a difficult task, especially if you’re staring a high pile of washing you just haven’t got around to yet. However, if you get on top of your washing and start doing a load each day you’re minimising to the chance of outside germs entering your home. We come into contact with thousands of different germs and bacteria in daily life away from the home, so your clothes end up carrying a lot of germs by the end of the day. You should try to aim to add your clothes straight to the washer when you return home. When dealing with dirty clothes, make sure you remember to wash your hands. Maintain The Bathroom Cleaning It is essential that you keep your bathroom clean at all times, it can be one of the most favoured rooms for germs. You remove germs from your body by bathing, showering and using the toilet so it’s not surprising that you need to keep on top of the cleaning. It needs to be cleaned and sanitized properly. Deep clean your bathroom at least once a week and then clean anything messy as the week goes on. Use a good quality disinfectant and make sure you have decent ventilation. Wash Your Bedding Frequently Your bedroom is supposed to be a peaceful, clean room that you can retreat to. If you have a bedroom that’s full of germs, this isn’t going to happen. This makes it important to clean your bedding regularly. If you don’t you risk sleeping in a germ-ridden environment that can make you extremely poorly. In addition to this, our body sheds dead skin cells which also gather in the bedding making it even dirtier. If you want to keep your home germ-free change your bed cover, pillow covers and bottom sheet every few days, or at least once a week. Try To Avoid Clutter In Your Home You should aim not to have clutter in your home, having too many congested areas in your home can leas to dust-gathering, germs breeding and bacteria building. Not to mention having clutter in your home can lead to more work when cleaning. Clean Your Toothbrush You use your toothbrush to clean your teeth twice a day, therefore, it is very important to keep it properly clean. It helps to remove food, germs and plaque from your teeth so it’s not surprising that these can stick to your toothbrush making it a breeding ground for germs. Wash your toothbrush thoroughly in order to decrease the chance of this happening, also it’s best to not keep your toothbrush out in the open. These are just a few of the ways you can help to keep your home free of germs. Do you have any other tips that might help? Please share them in the comments below.

The Internet has opened new realms of monetizing creative writing and analytical skills. Blogging is fast becoming an integral part of branding awareness and marketing campaigns by established businesses, including multinationals. With many businesses and organizations working overtime to increase traffic to their websites, bloggers are in high demand. Blogging is a lucrative gig that earns bloggers life-changing and fast money. However, the Internet is awash with bad advice on how to monetize blogs.

Autumn is a season like no other; you have the changing colours of the trees, a sharpness in the air, and plenty of seasonal coffees to choose from. Autumn is also a time for creativity and style, so make the most of it this year and design a wardrobe to enjoy this year and for many more. Jackets and JeansNothing says autumn quite like a jacket and jeans. Autumn is a time for cold air and warm drinks, but that doesn’t mean you need to break out the heavy coats just yet. The air is cooler in autumn, but there are still traces of summer left, especially early on, so stay on the light side. A jacket, such as a short denim jacket or a casual jacket, is the perfect clothing item to wear around town or on nights out with friends. Jeans are also an excellent shout. Not only do jeans match most outfits, but they are also warm and tough, ideal for town trips or trips to the pumpkin patch. Blazers and LoafersBlazers and loafers are all the rage online at the moment; chances are you’ve seen your favourite influencer wearing these chunky shoes with tiny socks. You might also have seen them wearing a blazer though this is less common. Why not set a trend with an oversized blazer this autumn? The combination of blazers and loafers is preppy and casual at the same time. Blazers give you an academic look, while loafers are a bit more casual, giving you a nice balance. If you want really connect with the season, choose seasonal colours for the blazer, such as pumpkin orange. Sweaters and Roll NecksWith the air getting colder and the nights drawing in, it’s time to get cozy with your clothing. Sweaters and roll necks are cozy and stylish for the autumn and the winter, so if you are looking for clothing to invest in for the next few months, look no further than these. Sweaters are perfect for cozy nights in with a warm drink and one of your favourite shows on Netflix, and if you want to increase the cozy levels, choose an oversized sweater as well. Roll Necks perform a similar function, but these are a little more sophisticated and flexible. Midi Dress and BootsMidi dresses are long dresses; they are usually defined by their length below the knees. This makes them ideal for autumn when the air is a little colder, and you want some additional coverage. Couple a midi dress with boots, and you have the perfect outfit for trips to town. Midi dresses are an excellent option for autumn because of their coverage, but they are also available in plenty of patterns to keep your style colourful and inspiring. Autumn is one of the most colourful seasons, so why not choose a dress that matches the changing leaves and trees? Checked ShirtsChecked shirts are in vogue at the moment. Although they can be associated with men and the lumberjack look, anyone can, especially when they are oversized or tailored to fit the figure. Again, autumn is one of the best times to break out the checked shirts. Checked patterns are colourful and versatile, probably why they are associated with the autumn season; additionally, they match with lots of other items such as jeans, midi skirts, short jackets, and more. Don’t forget to have a nice selection of checked shirts in your wardrobe this season. Seasonal T-shirtsT-shirts are the perfect versatile item to have in your wardrobe; these clothing items can be worn on their own or in combination with shirts and jackets to create the ideal outfit. Not only that, t-shirts are super personal, so you can wear T-Shirts With Sayings and personal decals. Seasonal t-shirts range from plain t-shirts in seasonal colours like orange, red, and green to t-shirts with iconic seasonal movies, games, and bands. What could be cooler than sporting a Halloween or Friday the 13th t-shirt this autumn or wearing one with an 80s goth band on it? Autumn HatsIn the summer, you might wear a straw hat or a sun hat to keep you from burning; in the winter, you might wear a beanie hat to prevent your ears from freezing. In the autumn, you need something that’s a little bit in between, something that keeps you warm but is also quite stylish. There’s good news; autumn is one of the best seasons to wear hats in. You can wear the same type of beanie hats you wear in winter, but in autumn, you might want to choose a different colour range. Felt hats and seasonal bucket hats are also excellent choices for a special season.

Anyone can start their own blog. It is a brilliant exciting digital world and there are so many people making a living from having a blog, as well as having an online platform to chat about whatever they want, sharing their tips, tricks, likes and dislikes and building a community. So what exactly does it take to start a blog? Time? Yes, a little but it doesn’t have to be tended to 24/7, in fact, most bloggers have full-time jobs and see blogging as a hobby, so that’s a wonderful place to start. If you’re wanting to make something a little more fruitful out of your passions, then you should look at building your website, from design to its aesthetic and style as well as the topics you’d like to cover. What is your blog going to be about? Is your Blog going to focus on travel, beauty, fashion or a real niche topic like specialised DIY?

You will need a space to call your own and choose what platform this will be done on, either Blogger or WordPress, there are a few. Choose a domain name and then you can start designing your Blog. HTML coding is not necessary for most blogs but if you are savvy at it then you can certainly add some extra features to your Blog that others won't have. Design is key. The way people see your blog and the colours and styles you choose is what will keep people entertained and keep them coming back. What colours and images inspire you? What works well for your blog and what do you like to read. If you enjoy it, then chances are others will too. What do I need to start a blog? You don’t necessarily need a lot of money for your blog. There are certain costs that may incur if you really want to take your blog to the next level, but let’s break these down a little further Web hosting fees - if you hire a domain name or a company takes care of your blog for you. Blog design - many designs can be bought and then applied to your chosen platform. They can vary in price and many are free but the ones that look really good are most often not but shop around. Photos (not essential)- you can take photos on your phone for free but if you want to make better quality images, you may need a better camera. Or alternatively, you can buy certain images online but many are royalty-free. Start writing that blog today, and even if you do not have the funds to make it look like Vogue, you can still put out all the creative content you want.
