Aug 21: Until next time

So this whole idea of blogging during my last year of high school has kid of taken a nose dive, particularly because I am doing a folio subject. Which is very draining, and takes so much time in comparison to the marks a you can get. Far too stressful.
I wanted to write a short little thing about why I haven't been here for a while, and to apologise for it because it really shouldn't be two months after my 18th birthday that I continue on with the birthday party posts that I planned (though in reality I didn't take very many photos of anything)
I will be back I promise. It will just be after the 14th of November, the date of my last exam.

Until next time

June 3: Birthday Planning Introduction

Hello again, 

Ooooo look its a post that isn't on a Sunday or a week on Instagram post yay!!!

This year marks my 18th birthday, and thus birthday party and I didn't see why I shouldn't take you all along with me during all of the planning I have been doing along with school work which is why I have been absent for a bit lately (sorry)

Anyway an introduction to all of this is probably called for.

My birthday is on a Friday so it was only fitting that my party be that Friday night.
The general theme is woodland (I've always had a theme) and I've asked everyone to dress casual and warm.

From 7pm I am having family over for a pot luck dinner. I've just asked them all to bring something savoury to share just so that it takes the weight off my shoulders in terms of making sure they all eat on top of all my baking.

The rest of the non family people are coming at 8:30pm for sweets and drinks (yay!!)

I am planning on making all of the sweets myself, so I'm in for a lot of baking over the next three weeks. It's a good thing that we have now hit the dead part of the year work wise. I've planned on making cookies and cupcakes and brownies and hedgehog slice and caramel popcorn and apple turnovers. All yummy foods. (I think I am going to do recipe posts on some of them, thoughts?!?)
I've got a whole stack of decoration plans (thank you Pinterest)so that's going to be fun testing all of them out.
I also made all of the invites and thank you cards and little food tags myself to match the theme. I think they are super cute so there will be a post on them.
I think that is every thing I am doing. Here's a little sneak peak of the invitation.

Until next time,
Liana xx

PS name that book I used for the background

June 2: my week on Instagram

Hello,

A little bit of a life update like I always do on these Sunday posts (which at the moment seem to be my only posts). A number of things happened this week

a) we are now officially in June (woohoo!!) for many people that means summer (I'm looking at you northern hemisphere people) but for me that means WINTER my favourite season. That may have something to do with the rain and the gumboots and the cold, but it also has to do with me being a little bit bias because there are now 19 days until my birthday (post series coming soon) and 6 day until church camp which brings me to section 

b) I am going to spend a weekend camping in a shed in the cold, playing sport, eating good food and making new friends. Some of you are probably looking at me (maybe not literally) and thinking I am mad (which I am). It's called State Youth Games, during a long weekend youth groups from around Victoria (and sometimes Tasmania) get together, camp in the mud and the rain, play sport and enjoy each others company. It sounds a bit wacky but it's a lot of fun even if like me you are not that sporty or co-ordinated 

c) I've been sick this week *sad face* which means I've had a lot of honey, ginger biscuits and vitamin-c tablets.

d) I have had soooooo many essay and assessments to write and to study for this week it's getting ridiculous but that's school for you less than 6 months to go (YAY!!!)
e) I was also out for dinner TWO nights in a row (what!?!?) we hardly ever 'eat out' though it was at other peoples houses so that does that really count as eating out? it does in my eyes. We were invited to two birthday dinner: one for a family friend and one for my cousin.
Busy, busy, busy little week it was.

(Woah that's a lot of writing)

Lets get on to the pictures

1. A picture of my favourite view in the city, straight down the path from the shrine of remembrance which was taken 2 maybe 3 weeks ago when dad and I were in the city and had time to kill so we went on a walk around the botanical gardens and the shrine

2. Rainy day picture. If you look close enough you can see me in the mirror.

3. One of the workers at the local coffee shop near my doctors remembered our orders: a large chai latte for me and a large latte for dad. It made us feel so special.

4. Here's what I wore on my date with YouTube of Friday night.

5. Warm milk and ginger biscuits for a sick little me

6. Itty-bitty cupcake thanks to my mama. She's brilliant.

Until next time,

Liana xx

PS I think you should follow me on Instagram 

PPS also my YouTube date was with Marie bitsandclips, she is so inspiring and wonderful and optimistic no matter what is going on in her life plus her daughter is adorable.

PPPS also (again) birthday kitten *happy dance* more on that later

May 26: My week on Instagram

Hello,

I have been a little bit absent this week, not out of my own free will but because school has sort of taken over my life for a little while. I am coming up to the end of this semester so I have a lot of essay to write and assignment to hand it and I am also in the middle of writing an English speech, and to make matter worse none of them are fun. That being said it probably won't change over the next few weeks, so hang in there, there will be posts when I can.

So without further ado I present my week on Instagram.

1. Monday night bath with a lush fizzbanger. Loved it.

2. Honey and cinnamon face mask with my sister complete with towel turban.

3. Waiting at the doctor's on Thursday night. Jeans & ankle booties.

4. Homemade pumpkin risotto 

5. A late night cup of tea

6. Boots & jeans on the train to the CBD.

7. Girls night in with my sister painting nails and watching She's the Man

8. Sunday morning breakfast of cinnamon toast and coffee

Until next time

May 19: My week on Instagram

Again this is my week on Instagram. Enjoy

1. Monday night after school - a lovely shot out of the band room window

2. SELFIES!! before maths study

3. Pyjama trousers and maths study

4. Post maths test comfort food - tea and hot chocolate cake

5. Sunrays from my doctors office

6. Game of thrones in bed

7. Homemade Apple pie for my sisters birthday dinner with the family

I am studying for a English practice essay the I have tomorrow. Very boring. Very tedious. But I have to do it before the season final of Dr Who tonight. Wish me luck.

Until next time,

Liana xx

May 12: My week on Instagram

It's Sunday here, so I guess it's time for another Instagram post. Yay!!

It's also Mother's Day, so to all the mothers out there I hope you have a good day. (I am aware that it's not Mother's Day in most countries other than America and Australia but that doesn't stop them from having a good day).

It's been a pretty average week for me, not particularly good but not too bad. Here are some pictures:

1. Monday morning breakfast remains, eggs and toast before an 8am essay.

2. Watching T.V on Monday night with my brother and sister

3. I love autumn, and crunchy leaves.

4. Just before sunset.

5. Cute golden hair ribbons make me happy

6. I should really update Adobe flash player more often

7. Blue skies on Thursday. Waiting for day before going to the doctors.

8. My baby brother turned nine yesterday. Where have all those years gone? Looking super cute in the clothes I gave to him before church.

The plans for today are make breakfast for mum, clean up my room, do some maths homework and go to lunch with my mum's parents. Should be exciting. Ooohh and paint my nails.

Also I have just gotten into watching game of thrones (about a year or so late) and watched the entire first season on Saturday. Woops!?!

Until next time,

Liana xx
