New phones and (being better at) time management.

So... 

Another thing to know about me is that I have times when I'm extremely busy, like now, and times when I'm extremely free, like when I started this blog. 

I'm not very good at juggling my time or my priorities, and even though I honestly meant to blog much sooner than this, time kind of wasn't available. 

But now that I have a new phone (my old one died a death) the blogger app will hopefully allow me to be better at on the go blogs :) and hopefully this will also mean I can be more organised and time-efficient.

The Stack

So...

One thing to know about me: I'm a list maker. I also love stationary. However, my love of stationary far outweighs my list-making ability, and so I end up with stacks, literally stacks (!) of note books.

Exhibit A

(Excuse the crappy iPhone pictures)

These are just the ones sitting on my desk that I am attempting to use. 12 of them. 

Is that a bit excessive? No?

I have to admit, I adore moleskines. Every time I see one I haven't seen before, or I see a small version in a new colour, I have to have it. It's a problem, I'm aware. I currently have a red mini moleskine diary, a purple lined moleskine for lyrics (I'm a song-writer), a red plane moleskine for notes, a black music one, and two random other ones. WHO NEEDS THAT MANY NOTEBOOKS?

Exhibit B

(Left - notebook from Musei Civici in Venice, Right - The Little Prince moleskine from Paris)

These are two examples from my currently stack. I picked them up in my travels over the years, and yet here they sit unloved.

I also have lots of non-moleskines. For example...

Exhibit C

My friend Camie bought this back from Japan for me! How cute? Everyone knows how much I love organization.

The point of this post I suppose is to encourage myself to use the notebooks I have, reduce the stack a bit, and to write more lists.

Am I the only one with this problem?

First Post - Better make it a good'un

I decided about three days ago that instead of simply reading countless blogs and other people's opinions on products, I would create my own.

I am pretty obsessed with make-up, beauty products, technology etc, but until recently I honestly thought I had no idea what I was talking about. However, I recently went shopping with a friend of mine, and she called me a 'beauty expert', so I thought I should attempt to live up to the hype.

I'm going to try this blogging thing, and if it doesn't work, hey no one cares, whatever I'll stop.

But honestly, I have wanted to try it for such a long time, and I kind of don't care if no one reads it :)
So...
I'm a 23 year old Student, currently residing in Brighton, studying song-writing, working in retail.
I am a make-up and beauty lover, and am attempting to fund my serious beauty habit!
I will upload reviews, ideas, product recommendations etc, but also will be trying my hand at tutorials and maybe even vlogging (ahh!).
Wish me luck!
