Monday Musings | October 16, 2017 (and a giveaway!)

It’s Week 13! Aka the final week of classes for the semester, and the year – and my entire degree! I know I’ve talked a lot about how it took me longer than most due to two years of illness, but it’s still so incredibly surreal that the end is nigh! I’ve just submitted my final pieces of assessment for one of my units which left me feeling surprisingly empty! This week I have my final lectures and tutorials and a group presentation. Then I’ve got three final academic essays to write for assessment – and it’s all over this time in two weeks! I’m in two minds about my overall feelings – but I just can’t wait to have it all completed! 

It’s getting warmer! Yesterday was deliciously warm and the rest of the week (until Friday) is looking nice and toasty and sunny and I’m looking forward to it ! Now I’ve submitted this assignment today I’m quite tempted to spend some quality time in the sun and replenishing my Vitamin D levels! I’m not usually the biggest fan of the heat but I’m going to Bali in a few weeks so I need to get used to it – pronto!

I’ve got a giveaway going on Instagram! I’ve got one of the Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Masks (that EVERYONE is raving about right now) plus a few other little skincare and makeup goodies to give one of you lucky people! My instagram is always linked on the sidebar of my site – but for those reading mobile or on different platforms, click here to go to my page! A very simple follow, repost & caption competition! If you’re entering from this post, add a palm tree emoji (🌴) at the end of your caption and I’ll double your entry!

Bali is happening so soon! This time in a month I’ll be exploring Bali and I’m so incredibly excited! I’ve got some fun activities planned and my heart set on a number of delicious cafes and restaurants to eat my little heart out in  I’m so excited to relax and explore a new country with my partner in crime! If you’ve been and have any recommendations for places to visit and explore or eat at please hit me up on one of my social platforms! 

I’m quite excited by the content headed your way over the next two weeks! I know I say this a lot but I honestly am! I’ve gone old school with a bunch of review posts – I’ve been blessed with being sent (and needing to purchase – you’ll find out soon!) a bunch of exciting new items and I’ve been very busy behind the scenes testing out new makeup – it’s a fun job that I’m more than happy to do! Sometimes I leave the house looking a little worse for wear makeup wise, but it’s worth it ! I can’t wait for you guys to read it. 

TV recommendations?! I’m still heartbroken over finishing Parks and Recreation for the second time and I’d love to know any shows you’d recommend I binge watch during the time between when I finish my degree and start working once more! I’m very happy that Riverdale and Criminal Minds are back, and I’ve watched the first episode of Dynasty on Netflix and am very excited by it! So anything in those types of areas would be gratefully appreciated!

That’s it for me this Monday! I can’t believe my next life update will be when I’m about to submit the final piece of assessment for my degree – just imagine the squeals I’m emitting right now! Have a wonderful two weeks ahead my loves! (And don’t forget to enter my giveaway!)
