Film Review: The Secrets Of Dumbledore
I was so excited to hear that Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore was finally coming out, and I knew I had to see it at the cinema. My verdict? It was fun, action-filled and entertaining! The Secrets of Dumbledore contained more of the magic of the original Harry Potter series that we love so […]

Reflecting On Earth Day
Where to begin with my thoughts on Earth Day? I might start by pointing out the obvious – if we want to keep our planet habitable, and avoid a climate crisis, then we really should start seeing every day as Earth Day. Growing up, we don’t learn much about the Earth and how precious it […]

Autumn Colours | Mt Barker
As the rest of the world celebrates Spring, with daffodils popping out, the air feeling fresher, the grass greener and the sun sticking around a little longer, the Southern Hemisphere is slap bang in the middle of Autumn.

Did I Manifest My Dream Job?
Like me, you may have heard the term “Manifestation” being thrown around a lot. My assumption is that it has something to do with the rise of young people, especially women, following astrology and charts, whilst also making things happen for themselves. Mapping out personalities, guessing our paths in life, and the Universe’s plans, is […]

WWW Wednesday – 25th August 2021
Hello there, fellow readers. This is only my second WWW Wednesday post, and instead of doing it weekly, I will be doing it monthly. Mainly because I feel like I take a break between books; after I finish one series, my head is in that world and I can’t instantly start another series. So, a […]
