DIY Mini Backpack Tutorial
I’ve been wanting a mini backpack for awhile. They look cute but also are more practical than a little purse, and perfect for day trips. If you’re like me and trying to stick to a budget then a DIY mini backpack is the way to go! I was inspired to make this by WithWendy’s YouTube tutorial which was awesome, you can see her video here. If you find videos helpful to figure out how to sew I definitely suggest having a look! I did make a number of changes to what she did in her tutorial including adding a few extra pockets and some changes to the pattern dimensions. This…

University Packing List for International Students
When I was getting ready to move to the UK I was looking at all sorts of posts and guides trying to find a university packing list. The only problem was that none of them were aimed at people moving overseas. I wouldn’t have access to my parents car to drive almost my entire bedroom to my dorm. Instead I was moving by myself and limited to two suitcases. So when I was packing I focused on making sure I packed the essentials then a few extra things that were small enough to pack. For everything else like bedding and kitchen supplies I either ordered them ahead or just bought…

The 9 Best Things To Do in Edinburgh
A trip to Scotland is not complete without a stop in the capital so I’ve put together the best things to do in Edinburgh! Best of all most of these are either free to do or cost very little. #1. Hike Arthurs Seat Arthurs Seat is an ancient extinct volcano on the edge of the city of Edinburgh. The name is thought to come from the legends of King Arthur with the site being proposed as the location of his castle in Camelot. It is a pretty easy hike up the hill and once you get to the top there is a beautiful view overlooking the city. #2. The Royal…

Homemade Mac and Cheese Recipe
This Mac and Cheese recipe has been one of my favourite things to make in university. When I can’t decide what to make or can’t be bothered to spend half an hour cooking this is my go to! It doesn’t take any longer to make than the boxed stuff and only a little more effort, and it tastes so good! The mac and cheese is creamy without being too heavy, and you probably already have all the ingredients on hand. The Sauce I always start by getting some water boiling and while the pasta is cooking I get started on the sauce. Start off by adding butter to a pot…

Spinach and Mushroom Crepes
So I’ve discovered that the English consider crepes pancakes and what I would call a pancake they refer to as American pancakes. Everyone in my flat disagrees with this including my flatmate from France who says crepes and pancakes are two different things. Instead, we’ve come to the conclusion the English are weird. Anyways, how this came about was for pancake day we decided to make pancakes and crepes for dinner. We decided on savory crepes for dinner and pancakes for dessert. We didn’t have a recipe in mind so we just started throwing whatever we had in the fridge together. The crepes were so good that we ended up…

DIY Couch Cover
This is a project I did last summer while I was helping my mom out at our cabin. We had been wanting to do some new window covering for a while and even bought a bunch of fabric for them, but then my mom found some curtain panels she liked on sale somewhere. I got the new curtains hung but I had a bunch of fabric laying around, so I decided to make a slipcover for our couch because it’s old and I think the fabrics ugly 😂. Also I’m going to apologize for the quality of the picture right now lol, I took most of them at night or…

Super Easy Homemade Pizza
When I got home from the library yesterday I had no idea what to make for supper. I wanted something easy and I was really tempted to pull out the frozen pizza or microwavable meals I have in my freezer but I’m supposed to be saving those for closer to my exams when I’m drowning in work and absolutely can not be bothered to cook. But the pizza was really tempting me. Then I realized that I could actually just make some pizza (and let’s be honest it turned out better than the frozen one). This recipe was so easy and honestly the most satisfying pizza I’ve had in a…

February Plan with Me
In January I didn’t use my bullet journal at all. I kept thinking I should do something but picking out a theme and spending the time drawing just was not a priority while I was getting ready for exams. After exams were over I had a few days before the start of February which would have been the perfect time to get the whole month planned out but at this point all I wanted to do was veg out before the semester started. So I literally didn’t start on this spread until January 31. Because of this I wanted to do something that wasn’t too complicated but still looked nice.…
