Here We Go Again.||MaddyBeautyLove

   
Gimme That Smile, I haven't Seen In A While.

Hello all!

 I hope you still remember me! After all this time, I thought it was time to get those laptop keys, and my writing mind working again. So here I am! As you will find, the time between this post and my last is too long. 

So what have I been up to? Well firstly, I knuckled down on my YouTube schedule. I am currently uploading every Thursday and Sunday (though the time varies every week). Secondly, the roller coaster of finishing my first semester of University, with the stress of major assignments stopped my ability to write and finally, HOLIDAYS! I got caught right up with fun things like work, housework, make-up free days and living on Instagram.You can take a peek of some of the things I got up to on this Vlog and this Vlog, I hope you find my awkward self entertaining enough!
But I'm back! Back for good…I hope. 

What's coming up, you may ask. This week I will be uploading a video-to-blog collaboration with the lovely Courtney, where we tackle our Top 10 Under 10 and the Top 5 Under 5 beauty products. So keep a look out for that!

Well I have been working on my Disneyland blogpost, in conjunction to my Disneyland Vlog. A post, which will feature stories and pictures that didn't make it on the video.I also cannot wait to welcome back Spring in September, so there will be many ootd’s, motd’s and Top Spring Lip Picks.I can’t wait to get started! I hope you keep in touch.

Bisous, bisous

I Didn't Forget You! ||MaddyBeautyLove

Being bored in class today, I thought I'd check out if I had neglected any drafted posts…it turns out that I've neglected four! Quatre! So this post is just to say that I haven't forgotten about your guys yet and to remind myself to get my head back in the game! (That will be the first and last HSM reference I promise). But I'm back again! Or at least I am going to try.

So very soon you will see from me, a Lush review/Haul (Australian and America), an Empties review, Make-up/Beauty haul and another product review. YAY!


I've posted some videos on my YouTube since my last blog post, feel free to check them out in the mean time (or any time)! Oh and stay tuned! I have a very special tutorial coming up soon. (Hint, hint; the photo below! Can you guess what it is?!)



Bisous, bisous

My Current Reads ||MaddyBeautyLove



44 degrees. 44! It makes me anxious to think that its 6 degrees from reaching 50. 50! Definitely weather where I will not attempt to wear make-up. 

So naturally I’ve hidden in the depths of safety in my air conditioned home. But even the cooling is struggling in this heat!

But enough about the weather, just thinking about it now is raising my temperature. Pun intended.

Instead we shall talk about books! Finally I have some freedom in my day-to-day life and I chose the to breathe in the fresh, crisp scent that is concealed within the pages of novels.  Ergo, I commence in showing you the list of books that I’m aiming to finish within the next two months-ish before I start afresh at University. University, what a scary thought.


My current Bedside table companion: Love in the Time of Cholera

This is the novel that I'm currently reading and enjoying, which surprises me, as I prefer novels like Pride and Prejudice and more typical period novels instead of novels set in a non-english speaking country. This book is also one that was controversial in the media as it was placed on the reading list for VCE year 12 for numerous reasons, I decided that I would have a go at reading something out of my depths. I'm glad that this book found its way to me and I decided to test new waters and so far, its somewhat captivating and im not even a third of the way in!


Young-adult must haves: 'Looking for Alaska' & 'Paper Towns'
Two books that I nabbed off one of my close friends only yesterday afternoon. (The best types of bookshops, are your friends and family in my friends opinions) These two novels are written by the amazing author/youtuber/and I-don't-even-know-what-else, John Green! can't show you how excited I am to finally read these! I'm having trouble deciding which one to read first! Help! 





Just look at the covers! I'm a sucker for gorgeous covers.

The Classics: 'Great Expectations' & 'Sense and Sensibility'
Now we have some true classics, written by the everlasting Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. I guess there's not much to be said on these two. I'm an avid fan of classics and having loved the BBC adaptions to these novels, I can’t wait to sit down and put my whole being in to absorbing them!

There we have it! 
Are you guy’s big readers? What are you reading this month?! Any recommendations?

Picnicking at Fitzroy Gardens ||MaddyBeautyLove



Dress by Revival
Last weekend there was finally a break to Melbourne's autumn like weather, and mother nature granted us with a beautiful 26 degree day. It was perfect picnic weather! At least at first.

In my new dress attire (found in Myer's Basement for a margin!), new boots and a unfrequented up-do, I joined my parents on an picnic outing to Fitzroy Gardens.

As an extra accessory I took my guitar along too! With my gorgeous daisy guitar strap I felt very June Carter-esque!


















Off to Fitzroy Gardens we go!
My Dad couldn't help spring his iPhone on me either!

Cue the embarrassed daughter smile.

To walk off the food we consumed, we headed for the centre of the garden where we found Conservatory, a green house-type-thing in the heart of the garden, it housed hydrangeas and Patience (yes, my Dad could not resist a very Dad joke!).
Can you see the dark clouds rolling in? 
So enchanting!

I can see this being the perfect place for wedding photographs! All the vibrant colours contrasting with the flawless white statues. It makes me desire in exploring much more of Melbourne's gardens in hope of discovering more places like this. 

There's nothing I adore more than gorgeous wooden bridges.


      These boots are made for walkin'..... that's why they're so comfy!
Then suddenly the clouds rolled in and our lovely day out was cut short! But there were laughs still as we sprinted back to our car and made our way home. All in all, it was a peaceful day out with the 'rents!



                          I hope you're staying cool in the hot Australian weather!
