Today’s post is a little bit different but I was inspired by a few NZ bloggers who have answered this Taking Stock list. My blog turned 6 months yesterday too and I have thought of doing this when I hit this mark. This is outside my usual posting schedule but I hope you enjoy this more personal post.

Making:  A proper blog schedule. I have been in a rut for a few weeks now and although it hasn’t affected my usual blog schedule, I haven’t really planned any posts beyond next week. I really want to start planning ahead and having at least a month in advance plan of my blog posts.

Reading: I used to read a lot but I haven’t read a proper book in a long time. It really sucks because I used to enjoy reading but I can’t seem to make time for it at the moment. I did buy this book recently though:

I’ve been enjoying reading the short stories and quotes from the book and getting some motivation.

Eating: I’m not eating at the moment but I did have a filling dinner at my partner’s parent’s house last night and I had a sneaky Whittaker’s Dark Ghana chocolate after. I love dark chocolate!

Enjoying: The sun being out! We had a lovely weekend and I had gelato and walked along the beach twice. It was awesome.

The next day I had Kapiti ice cream and ate it along the beach with my partner. That’s how great my weekend was!

Waiting: To hear back from someone.

Wondering: About the future.

Hoping: To get the results I want from that someone.

Wishing: For a fresh start.

I also wish I can stay in bed and sleep in during the week.

Trying: I’m trying to figure out what I really want to do. It is taking me a long time to figure things out but I’ll get there somehow.

Considering: Joining a gym. I haven’t worked out in months and I could tell that I have gained weight from all the indulging I’ve done this winter. I really need to get back into the fitness wagon. I have fallen way off.

Wearing: I’m on the way to work now and I’m wearing my brogues, tights, skater skirt, knit sweater and asos coat. 

Needing: A holiday. I want to go away and forget about work or chores even just for a few days.

I am never not dreaming of going back to Queenstown.

Watching: I’m not following any TV series right now but I did watch Masterchef NZ and the finale was last night. I wasn’t happy with the finale but I can’t do anything about that. Last week, I also binge-watched Real Housewives of Melbourne. It’s such a guilty pleasure for me.

Thinking: I’ve been thinking of re-doing my room which is our spare room and a combination of a beauty room, office and closet. I’ve been searching for a new desk and good shelving.

This is the nice part of my room.

Disliking: That I feel like there is not enough hours during the day to get all the things I need to get done. From full time work, chores, blogging and socialising… I just don’t have enough time to do everything!

Buying: Probably more stuff from iHerb. I’m also tempted to check out this makeup sale in the weekend.

Loving: Knowing that I have a  good support system around me. Also loving the prospect of getting a cat soon! Yay!

I never get this personal on my blog but I hope you get a glimpse of what I’m feeling at the moment. It hasn’t been a particularly great month and I’ve had some struggles but I think I’m finally feeling better so I’m hoping this will continue.

Tomorrow I have a beauty post so come back if you’re more interested in seeing my usual posts. I hope you have a great day.
