an ode to film photography...

Theres something incredibly poetic about the permanency of film photos. Whether it be polaroids, disposables or a vintage film camera, film photos capture the emotions of a moment better than any digital camera or phone. When you take a digital photo, you can easily take and retake the photos as many times as you wish. If your anything like me, you'll end up with hundreds of the same image, unable to decide which is the "best". With film photos, you don't have this luxury. Instead, you have to take the photo, the moment, as it is, embracing it for its imperfections. Lens flares, unfocused images and intruding fingers become part of the art. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm always thrilled to get back my developed disposables, and find it so entertaining to flip through my photos and look at the perfect little imperfections.

~

This year, when we went back to Malaysia for a trip, my sister and I both bought disposable cameras to bring to the Island with us. Here are a few of our collective images. I honestly love each and every one of these images. The memories attached to each picture will always have a place in my heart.

THE BABES ARE BACK

So I finally got my lazy self to edit the cute pics I took with three of my favorite people while I was in Malaysia. We had such a blast catching up and found a lovely white wall to take pictures against.

I spent a lot of time editing these pictures and I really hope you all like them.

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...

CITY SLICKERS

hey everyone,

Last Friday I had no school, so I went exploring in the city with two of my friends. I am still getting used to Melbourne and it was really fun to just wander around. We ended up getting lost a few times due to my horrid sense of direction but I think it made it even more fun!

so here are some photos I took on the day:

MY BEAN

 Hello  Everyone,

So I have finally finished exams, and due to the Queens birthday and some pupil free days, I am about to have a whole 5 days off school!!!

I realized today that I never introduced my adorable new friend, Archie.

Every time we move, my parents promise a dog, and we finally got one. He is much loved in our house and is growing very fast so I thought I'd share some photos, and I can tell you, my next 5 school free days will be spent cuddling this cutie.

xx

LUSH : Titsy Totsy, Dragon's Egg and Twilight

Ahoy Sailors,

My name is Meghan, and I am a Lush addict.

Over the past two weeks, I have made countless trips into Lush. 

I have been loving their bath bombs, and probably have had a bath every single day these holidays.

I thought it would be a good idea to show you a few of the bath bombs I have had, share some pictures, and give my opinions on them.

so here goes...

~

I.

Titsy Totsy Bath Bomb

Unlike most Lush Bath bombs, this rose scented beauty doesn't provide much colour to your bath. Despite this, Titsy Totsy is one of my favourite bath bombs. The rose smell it very fresh and clean smelling, and reminded me of turkish delight. This is one bath bomb I would 100% recommend.

~

II.

Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb

The Dragon's Egg bath bomb was a nice colourful surprise.

Despite it's colourless exterior, as it fizzed it revealed a sparkling golden centre. 

 It had a very sweet, lemongrass scent that was very refreshing.

My only issue with this bath bomb was cleaning it up. The bath bomb had confetti in it that suck to the bath. 

~

III.

Twilight Bath Bomb

This was one of the most relaxing bath bombs I have had. The prominent lavender scent almost put me to sleep. I personally wasn't ecstatic about the end colour of the bath, a rather dull lavender colour, but in general I enjoyed this bath bomb. 

~

So there you have it. Some of the bath bombs I have had recently.

I purchased a few more lush products recently so if you would like to see another post like this, please let me know.

Ahoy Sailors, 

Last weekend, I took a short break to visit my family in New Zealand. We went to Arrowtown, as my parents entered a run there. We did lots of exploring around the Otago area and I honestly think it one of the most beautiful I have visited.  

~

These next photos were taken at a lookout called "Roaring Meg"

It was a lovely trip and I truly fell in love with the majestic countryside.
