2017: The Year I Set Goals For The First Time:


Hi, how’s it going?
As 2016 begins to end, I have been asked thoughout the last month what are my one, five year life plan is. To be honest I don’t have a life plan, but it has got myself thinking about setting goals for myself.

I have never set goals nor stick to new years resolution because I feel they can be a burden. I never been motivated to set goals before because, I never really understood the goal setting thing.

Then I realize from the advice I have been given or movies I watched have inspired myself that you should live your life.

This year I have decided to begin writing my goals for the upcoming year blogging and life wise. I have written three goals for each, here they are: 

2017 Blog goals:
1. Create a consistency routine with blog posts.
2. Write blog posts of what I know aka finding my niche  
3. Improve my photography.

2017 Life goals:
1. Get a job

2. Re-decorate my room

3. Maintain and continue doing my hobbies.  

These goals I have come up are not as  

I'm looking forward to saying goodbye to 2016, this year has had it ups and downs. I'm getting ready to work towards my goals my life and blogging.

What are your goals for 2017? I would love to know!

Happy New Year!

The Things I Love About Christmas

Hi, how's it going?

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Everyone says Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. I thought I would share my favourite things I love about Christmas!

Getting together with family:
One of the first things I love about Christmas is being with everyone in my family including extended family I don't see often. There's that feeling of being together that I love because its one day of the year that you should be with your loved ones.

Food:
Christmas food. The best time to eat everything and anything. I don't believe in a set menu for Christmas because people serve different dishes on the day. I'm lucky that I have family that cooks different meals for the day.

Christmas lights:
Driving around the streets and checking out the homes that are deck out with Christmas lights is cool to look at. The streets aren't always deck out, it varies from street to street.

Relaxing:
I think one of the things that I look forward to is relaxing during Christmas. There's no more shopping and running around to do anymore. Once it done, its done just sit back and relax.

Christmas music:
I enjoy old and new Christmas music, do you remember hi-5 Christmas album? Justin Bieber Christmas songs? Yes I enjoy, I have songs that I enjoy singing and dancing along to! Santa Claus is coming to town is one of my favourites.

These 3 Coffee Places

Hi, how's it going?

I love coffee.It's a fact. I can't start my day without a strong cup of it.I even have a but first coffee pyjama shirt from Victoria secret. Whenever I go out to either to do errands or hang out with family, I like to stop for a coffee- usual my second one I know it's abit bad.

Depending what I feel like having-my usual order is either a skim latte, cappuccino or ice coffee. The places I make a visit to are near my favourite  hangout or  places.

Jet Espresso
Where: North Perth:
This lovely café in North Perth has become a favourite place of mine. They not only have a range of   hot and cold drinks. But their iced coffee is the bomb! Their carrot cake is a definite must try.  

Little Sisto Café
Where: Double view
This small  and trendy café I recently visited for a late Sunday afternoon coffee and brunch was a place I hadn't been before. It definitely a place to try out if your in the area.


96 Degrees Café
Where: North Beach
This recently open  new café in North Beach is one to look out for. They served healthy treats and good coffee. Their location is nearthe beach which makes it even better to grab a coffee and walk down to the beach.



These three cafes all lovely customer service as well as text your coffee order system.

What are the places you head to for coffee? I would love to hear from you.

Christmas Baking: GingerBread Men.

Hi, how's it going?

One of the things I love about Christmas is definitely the food side of it. Let's be honest it's the baking side of it! It's a great way to give a gift without spending a lot of money.

I recently made a batch of gingerbread men for a group of people to give as a gift.

I don't think their is one recipe for gingerbread men because their are many different recipes on the health side or using less or more ingredients. The recipe I used for this batch of cookies was from food to love website. You can have a look here.

When it comes to decorating and icing, I'm not the best to be honest. I was looking through my pantry and I found Cadbury white chocolate melts. Then I added red and green m&ms on top.



Here's the quick icing recipe:
1x handful of Cadbury white chocolate melts
1x Handful of red and green m&ms.

1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave on medium heat. Stir until melted.
2.Lay gingerbeardman on a board.
3. Grabbed a spoon and begin to drizzle over the gingerbread men.
4. Quickly place the m&ms on the cookies.

Then bam! You got gingerbread man!

Whats you favourite Christmas baking recipe?

Simple ways to survive the Chrismas madness!

Hi, how's it going?

Yes can you believe it's the  first of December.

The countdown to Christmas has  began! Then their is the list of many things to get done before December 25 definitely deserves the word madness.




I have come up with some tips to get through the Christmas madness month.

Start your research:
Begin your research for presents by asking your family what they want for Christmas early. They probably won't tell you straight away, its fine.  But when they do write it down  either on your phone or on a notebook.

Create a present/to do list (spreadsheet style):
Once you know or have a idea of the presents to buy them begin writing a present list for family and friends. This year I decided to create my present list in Microsoft excel in spreadsheet style. I form the spreadsheet to  keep track of whom I need to buy or make presents for.

I think it's a great idea to write your to-do list on the next page so you can keep track of everything on the one document.

Below I have attached a picture of how I have lay-out my spreadsheet:


Use your calendar/ diary
Use your diary either a  paper one or the  calendar app on your phone to record upcoming Christmas parties or appointments. The moment you confirm the date and time of a party or appointment write it down straight away because their a change you can forget it.I have been known to have forgotten dates.

Take it a day at a time:
Their will be times during the Christmas  period were you can get overwhelmed  or stressed whilst dealing with other life priorities. I think it's important to take it a day a time to avoid feeling that way.

How do you deal with the Christmas madness period?

I'm getting excited for Christmas this year and hope you are to.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Love Jordyn.
