  • What I Did This Week (Month) 07.11.22 – 04.12.22

    Reading Time: 5 minutes Once again I’ve neglected this blog so much I have a month of content to catch up – I had already gone through most of the photos already. You know when you get a text from someone and you don’t reply instantly and you feel too rude to text back because so much time has… Read The Post

    What I Did This Week (Month) 07.11.22 – 04.12.22
  • How to build your career using an internship

    Reading Time: 3 minutes I wish I could have told past me at university how advantageous having an internship abroad would have been for my career. I studied abroad for a semester in the UK and I can honestly say that was my favourite highlight out of uni and a really once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I am grateful for taking.… Read The Post

    How to build your career using an internship
  • What I Did This Week 24.10.22 – 06.11.22

    Reading Time: 4 minutes I am going to combine the last 2 weeks for efficiency purposes. There’s a Louis Vuitton pop-up in Sydney called See LV right by Circular Quay – it’s a free 10 minute time waster that is absolutely worth the visit even if you’re not massively into LV. You get to see the history and archives… Read The Post

    What I Did This Week 24.10.22 – 06.11.22
  • What I Did Last Week 17.10.22 – 23.10.22

    Reading Time: 3 minutes This week is best described as ‘blink and you miss it’. I did want to buy some flowers for myself and made the pilgrimage to Carriageworks Farmers Market on Saturday morning. Look how absolutely stunning these orange and pink marigolds are. I tried this pizza from A.P. Bakery. The line was massive so it had… Read The Post

    What I Did Last Week 17.10.22 – 23.10.22
  • What I Did Last Week 10.10.22 – 16.10.22

    Reading Time: 4 minutes Once again – Clarissa fails to commit to writing. Whoops. Going back on track, last week I went to see The Kooks at Enmore Theatre. They were doing a 15th anniversary of their first album Inside In/Inside Out which is the main reason I decided to take the plunge and spend the $90+ (concert tickets… Read The Post

Beginning my Coding Journey

August 28, 2022

Reading Time: 2 minutes My procrastination has reached unprecedented levels as of late. One way to avoid procrastination is to keep ourselves accountable and I’m hoping this might be a solution. One technique to keep ourselves accountable is to tell a friend about our goals. Although, the idea of telling my friends my personal ambitions is strangely a lotRead the Post

What I Did This Week 15.08.22 – 21.08.22

August 28, 2022

Reading Time: 4 minutes Once again I am late to this weekly post. The best way to sum up this week was work and food. I went to Bar Topa which is this little bar in an alleyway, just by Wynyard Station and the Ivy, that teleports you to amazing tapas and $9 sangrias. It felt so reminiscent ofRead the Post

What I Did This Week 08.08.22 – 14.08.22

August 19, 2022

Reading Time: 3 minutes Last week was a pretty good week if I say so myself. On Saturday I saw Arlo Parks at Enmore Theatre. Enmore is probably my favourite concert venue in Sydney as it is in Newtown with a great selection of artists I’ve seen throughout the years. I absolutely adore Arlo Parks’s songwriting and it makesRead the Post

What I Did This Week 01.08.22 – 07.08.22

August 9, 2022

Reading Time: 4 minutes Last week honestly went by incredibly quickly. I feel, pretty much every week, the weekend goes by so quickly that by Monday I’ve just yearning for the weekend to come again. This week’s intention for me is to focus on the present and find stillness within all the chaos rather than thinking about the futureRead the Post

What I Did This Week 25.07.22 – 31.07.22

August 2, 2022

Reading Time: 4 minutes It has been a while since I’ve written anything and so the idea occurred to me that I should just strip down to basics. They say that one of the cures for a writer’s block is to just write something. Anything. When I was in school and we had those creative writing activities I wouldRead the Post

Food Review: Single O Surry Hills

March 1, 2022

Reading Time: 2 minutes Surry Hills is the melting pot of brunch culture. Sydney has been very dull and rainy in recent weeks. However, a warm coffee and breakfast is never a bad thing – even in the rain. I’ve wanted to check out Single O Surry Hills because of how popular it was. The cafe is only aRead the Post

Food Review: Reuben Hills, Surry Hills

January 30, 2022

Reading Time: 3 minutes Does anything beat having a nice cafe lunch on a slow morning or afternoon? I definitely appreciate the small things on a slow Saturday and that includes having a big brekkie. I’ve always wanted to try Reuben Hills, a small hole in the wall industrial chic cafe in Surry Hills approximately a 10 minute walkRead the Post

Is Peloton Worth the Money? – Pros and Cons of Using Peloton (Peloton App No Peloton Bike)

January 18, 2022

Reading Time: 6 minutes Peloton was all the rage during the pandemic as gyms were closed, Peloton bike sales soared and share prices went through the roof. The fitness industry was booming and blessed. Now all I hear are the problems that Peloton is facing. From the stock value plummeting to below the IPO price (yikes!), the massive jobRead the Post

2022 Reading Goals and Challenge – Book Recommendations and Book Haul

January 5, 2022

Reading Time: 5 minutes Starting a new year is exciting filled with aspirations and setting intentions. In the spirit of setting goals, I wanted to share a few of my 2022 reading goals. I highly encourage you to do something similar or consider doing a reading challenge. Goodreads allows you to set a number of books that you wantRead the Post

What I Learnt Having my Makeup Done at Mecca

December 7, 2021

Reading Time: 4 minutes Have you ever got a makeup lesson at Mecca? As someone who is probably not the best at makeup or wants to learn new techniques that enhance my features, I’ve always found the idea of a makeup lesson quite useful. I’ve always interested in trying new products if they work for me so I’m completelyRead the Post
