BACK IN SYDNEY VIDEO

 

 

One weekend in late July, I flew up to Sydney to visit my favourite twins while they were in Australia. We had an amazing time exploring Manly, and shared lots of laughs as we caught up over smoothie bowls. Here is a short video showing a bit of what we got up to.

learning to relax

I've been not so pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming increase in workload in this first term of the new year. I've found a decreasing amount of spare time and an increasing amount of desperation for time spent in solitude.
I feel like I've finally relaxed into a good little routine of how to fulfil this desire.
I always plan ahead for when I will have my relaxing day and make sure I have any homework done early so I don't have to think about it while I'm meant to be relaxing
As soon as I get home, I put any school materials out of sight, so they can't remind me of any remaining school-related stress.
I grab the latest issue of Vogue, or my current favourite book and head strait to the bathroom to run myself a relaxing bath. I always try to have some pampering products handy for my relaxing day. On this occasion I had a really nice coffee scrub from Ishka and a leftover christmas bathbomb from Lush.
I spend as long as I possibly can soaking in the tub and make sure whenever my mind drifts to school, I suppress those thoughts completely.
I always feel so rejuvenated and reenergised after these pamper sessions, and it has reenforced in me the importance of taking time for myself, no matter how busy and stressed I might be.

SYDNEY 2016

I spent some time in Sydney, visiting family, over the holidays.

I always love our trips to Sydney and this was no exception. We spent ages wandering around Manly Corso and visiting cafes from my childhood. Luckily, the weather was pretty decent for this trip, and we took the opportunity to visit one of my favourite beaches; Shelly Beach in Manly. 

We went into some super cute boutiques in Manly, including ASSEMBLY  and my new favourite BOW AND ARROW, where I bought the most amazing pair of flared jeans.

I took a few little video snippets of our trip and thought I'd share them on here.

I really hope you enjoyed the video, I'd love to be able to hear people's opinions on my posts and stuff, so feel free to inbox me on any of my social medias.

FINDING YOUR PLACE

Moving back to Australia was hard for me. After living in Malaysia, where I had a defined place in a group of girls with similar interests and taste to me, being thrown back into a place where I felt different and unknown. As a new girl, I didn't really have an important place in a group. I struggled with this for the first half of this year, but after a while, I finally found my place.

I have been a new girl at school 5 times (yep, I've been to 5 schools) I think I've begun to become an expert at finding my place, so I thought I would share this stellar knowledge with you all, in the hope that it might help you, whether you are at a new school, a new job or any new experience.

so here goes... my 4 tips for finding your place

~

I

LOVE YOURSELF

I think we are constantly told this, by our parents, our friends and even now celebrities and the media, but I think we don't always fully understand what it means to love yourself. To love yourself isn't always about having the confidence in yourself to wear tight clothing or a bikini. Loving yourself, to me, is about observing everything about yourself, flaws and all, and being comfortable with that. Loving yourself is loving what you want to love. Not being embarrassed about the things you love, even if you think people will judge your passion for these things. Loving yourself is most importantly, about being yourself!

II

DON'T SET YOUR EXPECTATIONS TOO HIGH

This sounds really negative but, to be completely honest, it's something I have struggled with in the past. The likelihood of you meeting someone with the exact same interests and taste as you, as well as the same beliefs, and expecting to form an immediate and unbreakable bond with someone is unlikely. Possible, but unlikely. Instead of focusing on finding the PERFECT person or group, focus on smaller things like finding people who really appreciate you and finding people that you get along with really well. Find people who appreciate and accept your differences. Chose friends based on personality and how you relate to them. Our materialistic interests change and develop, and maybe as a result of your friendship, you will begin for form similar interests.

III

CHECK YOUR MOTIVES

I wrote about this in my journal and posted it in a previous post...

'I was talking to Jessy and Issy about how I think it is so important to observe your motives and decide why you are doing the things you do. Knowing what motivates you helps you to establish what is important to you and decide what is important in your life to help you be happy and reach your goals. It can help you decide what people and things are necessary for your and choose what dead weight to shed. We have the option to change anything in our lives and I think sometimes we get whisked away in the idea that "nothing is fair" and "we have no choice" we sometimes cease to realise that we are the conductors of our own fate.'

I think this is so important and I think about this a lot. Its so important to know why we are doing the things we do.

IV

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 

This is probably the most important thing to remember. It will be hard. It will take time. But if you always see the good in situations and rule out the bad, things will get better.

take a tip from sunflowers
 and always turn to the sun

CHAPEL STREET

I love Chapel street.

It's honestly one of my favorite places in Melbourne. For one the shopping is amazing, from small little boutiques to big name chain brands like Topshop. The surrounding streets are adorable and you can find the cutest little cafes and eerily cool walls covered in graffiti. 

This past weekend I went to Chapel street with a friend, with the sole purpose of seeking out Nutrition Bar, which sells the most amazing smoothie bowls. We both had the peanut butter bowls and they did not disappoint. 

We sat in chairs by the window and spent ages just watching everyone passing, and finding style inspiration. 

I spent way to much money on a pressed juice (which was amazing) and honestly had such a great day, so here are some pictures to commemorate it.

☾♡☾♡☾♡

Super sorry there was no post last week, I was really lazy and feel really bad about it. 

So here is a little update on whats happening and what has already happened. 

~

So next week I have work experience. I am working in the city and get a lunch break so you can expect some pictures from that. (hopefully). 

I am so excited but also really nervous.

~

Last Saturday I went out exploring Fitzroy with a friend. We looked at tonnes of vintage clothing, ate good food and drank lots of coffee. It was a really nice day and I had loads of laughs.

~

 ~

I also got very excited about using a payphone for the fist time.

small things amuse small minds.

So this blog post was a kind of rambled stream of thoughts, but I hope you enjoyed xx

IT WAS OUR PLAN B...

If you've read my last post, or watched my last video, you would know that I spent and incredible week in Malaysia, soaking up the sun, and visiting my main babes. 

We had an amazing couple of days together, and although I wish we had longer, I am so grateful for these beautiful girls and incredibly thankful that I was able to go see them.

My gorgeous friend Jessy also has a post on this on her blog JUSTTPEACHY

{view her post here}

~

We got brunch at the last place we wanted to go, where we had to get our second choice meal (as they had sold out of our first choice) and had to eat at the worst table ( we wanted one with better lighting)

ironically enough, the restaurant was called Plan B

~ 

After brunch we shopped around for a bit, and then found a great white wall where we took tonnes of photos. If you want to see more pics check out my instagram @meghan.lewis 

~

I had such a great time with these girls and it honestly felt like I had never left. In the end, we just couldn't bear saying 'goodbye' so we said 'see you tomorrow'  and pretending wed all be at school together the next day...

MALAYSIA | 2015

Hey Everyone,

As I said in my last post, I have just returned from an exciting break from winter in Malaysia.

I had such a marvelous time snorkeling all day and eating roti canai and black pepper chicken. 

It was so relaxing and I have come back feeling completely rejuvenated and alive.

It was also so amazing to see my best friends again, featured at the end of the video. I will have a blog post up from our fun filled weekend up soon.

so without further rambling, here is the video:

RED, WHITE & BLUE

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I've been feeling a bit brain-dead recently.

Luckily that was all fixed by a relaxing and rejuvenating week on and island in sunny Malaysia. 

I am back now and motivated to post as much as possible. I took loads of video footage in Malaysia so you can expect to see a video on my youtube soon!

In the meantime I thought I would share some photos from when I went to Chapel street with some friends. We went to the incredible Soda Rock diner. The food was amazing and the people were so friendly. It's all retro themed and I loved it! You can expect to see these photos on my Instagram very soon...

and i'm feeling good...

Hey everyone.

I am in such a fantastic mood. We finished school on Friday, so I now have three weeks of holidays to look forward to. Also on Friday, I got my first job! I'm really excited to be able to start earning my own money. 

On Tuesday I was off school sick, so I decided to seize the opportunity to take some pictures of some bits and bobs I own. I got a really nice clear cup from typo recently and I love it. I was looking through our old national geographic magazines and found my old copy of Macbeth from the 70s.
