Home Style: Desk/Makeup Space

It’s been a while since I posted about home decor. Over the Christmas break, I redid our spare bedroom which is my office/closet. I don’t really know what to properly call this room but it’s basically a room full of my things. This is where I usually write my blog posts, do my makeup, get dressed and ready every day.

The rest of the room is basically the same but I changed my desk area and I am really happy with the result. This part of my room is brighter, less cluttered and more usable than it was before. If you want to have a sneak peak of my space and how I styled it, click below.

Home decorating on a budget

Yesterday marked our 1 year anniversary living in our little home so I thought I’d share my ideas/tips on how to decorate your house on a ‘budget’.

Technically, I didn’t really have a budget but I’m quite thrifty so most of our home decor are fairly inexpensive. It was our first time moving out of home and I didn’t want to splurge on decor because I was still experimenting on what works.

This post will focus on our lounge/living area and if it goes well, I plan on making another post for other rooms.

If you’d like to see how I turned our house into a home, click below.

auckland domain ootd cherry blossoms

Auckland Domain

A few weeks ago I met up with a friend at Auckland Domain and we explored the area. I haven’t been back here in a long time but I love this place.

Auckland Domain is Auckland’s oldest park at 75 hectares. It is a huge place and was formed around a cone of an extinct volcano. What I love about this place is there are lots to do and see. There is the Auckland War Memorial Museum, Wintergardens, walkways and just a great green open space area near the city. Parking is free for up to 3 hours too and that’s hard to find in Auckland now.

This day, we explored the domain and specifically wanted to see the Cherry Blossom trees. We actually got lost the first time but we found it eventually as you’d see in the photo above.

To see more of what we got up to, click below.
