I like to think that I'm somewhat good at photography. I enjoy taking pictures when I'm walking across a busy street (the above picture is an example of life-risking photography...) and I also enjoy looking at good pictures. Where am I going with this rant? Lord knows.
At the moment I am sitting in a lecture at university and I feel like a total bad ass, typing away. How criminal. 

I don't know what this post is about. I don't know what to type or what to tell. Though not much has happened...I have The Husband here in Australia now which is great and I've started Uni which is slowly killing me. Blogging after so many days does create 'writer's block' but I'm still going to post something because I am not dead and I am very much willing to write...

...but what to write? That kinda kills me. I suppose all my creativity is going into Uni essays and Instagram but nevertheless, I adore this platform that is mine and I will return but with no promises. 

Until I find something worth writing for, here are a few 'updates':

- I am still mourning over Matt Smith's departure - Capaldi isn't doing it for me

- I finally went to Sephora in Sydney. It was absolutely horrible.

-  I have four essays to do. Yay.

- The weather in Sydney is bipolar.

- I am still sitting in my lecture. 

Please don't assume that this blog isn't important - it is. I would very much like to present good content, not random things, hence the long periods between each post.

Hang in there,

Mini Haul | Mecca Maxima, Target & Typo

Shopping is a weakness - I can't help myself so even though I know I'm on a spending ban, I still end up picking up some small bits and bobs...oops.

Typo Two Tone Pencil Case in Black and Gold          AUD $ 14.99

I picked this up online from Cotton On. It's black and gold and is just the right size for a pencil case or a make up plus it matches the new bag I bought from Sportsgirl.  

Typo as really good quality items worth the money. I love their quirky style and their limited collections are also worth the wait.  

Cotton On's delivery is also pretty good. They deliver within three days which is great!

Molli&Mimi for Target Pencil Pack         AUD $3.00

Can we just...

I can't even describe how adorable these pencils are! They have statements of the side of them and are very Kate Spade-y. I'm totally ready for university now!  

Soap & Glory's The Righteous Butter AUD $5.00 & Clean On Me AUD $5.00 Travel Mini's

As I am on a self proclaimed spending ban I decided to pick up these mini beauties from Mecca Maxima. I was in need of a body butter because the weather in Sydney is dry and well, itchy, so if this passes the test - I shall purchase the bigger size.

Thus ends my mini haul. What have you picked up lately?

Weekly Diaries # 1

Okaaay, so I haven't been keeping up with the schedule I planned out, buuuut in my defence I have classes four days a week and it just get's pretty hectic, and this week was also Eid-Ul-Fitr, which in one of the two Islamic celebrations during the year.

I took some pictures of what happened during the last few days & thought I'd share them with you!

SUNDAY

The week started off with an Eid festival, where cake pops, clothes and cushions were sold. We reached there at like 3pm to set up my Aunt's clothes stall/booth and we're there till 10:30pm in the night - BAH! It was boring but luckily I was accompanied with a family friend for a couple of hours which were filled with catching up, hot dogs, sugar rushes and a very memorable prank call.

 MONDAY

Today was the first day of Eid (there are three days) and I went to class in the morning and came back in the train. It was a slow day but tiring...

TUESDAY

This was the day when my Aunts and Uncles came round to my Aunt's house (currently my place of residence) and gave out gifts to the kids and money to the inbetweeners...

My cousin bought me two of the BEST things ever! A Doctor Who wallet and a Doctor Who novel adaption! I actually saw the wallet in a shop when I went shopping with my Aunt a few days earlier and fell in love. She bought it but gave it to me on Eid day - I needed a new wallet and this TARDIS fit's the bill perfectly!!!

Towards the afternoon, we all went to visit my Grandpa, it was nice to meet up with him after such a long time! His fridge used to be stocked up my Chuppa Chups when I was a kid and my brother and I used to raid he's fridge every time we visited #cokechuppachupsFTW 

My Dad took me to Westfield after, because I have been on the search for a new bag but I couldn't find one, instead I came out with a 30ml bottle of Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet aka my FAVORITE perfume ever (and that's saying a lot!) We then drove out of Sydney for a BBQ at a family friend's house. I came out of there with gorgeous rings, a blackboard and the cutest Snoopy

coffee travel mug (both items are from Typo <3).

When we all got back from the awful long car ride, we made a stop at the cinema to watch the "Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes" which was amazeballs! If you haven't seen, go and watch it! A full review will be up soon (:

WEDNESDAY 

And that brings me to today. I went to class in the morning and had lunch with my Dad at Nandos #goodfood 

     So that's about it! I hope you guys enjoyed reading because I had fun writing (well, typing) this up! Be sure to follow me on Instagram (selfish promo) @hrhkulsoomhussainn
