Life with Jen!

Camping has always had a bit of a soft spot in my heart. It's just something I've always loved and have been doing for years and years on end. I know my first camp was apparently when I was 6 months old, and according to my parents, it was an absolute disaster. The rain would not stop, so they were constantly changing my clothes so I could stay warm, and when my cot was floating inside the tent, I think they figured it was time to call it quits. So from what I can gather, Mum and I had a pretty great weekend at home. The earliest camp I do remember though, is when I was about 4? 6 maybe? My friend and I were sitting at the top of the hill making fake campfires and pretending to cook marshmallows. Or when my parents and I were floating down a river in aquaducks. That day was the first time I ever saw a cow... I swear to god it was the scariest thing I've ever seen! I remember so many of my camps and each time I learn something new. What worked, what didn...

So we're in the last month of Winter and I'm really excited for the upcoming sping and summer. It's the first Summer where I'm actully going to be "free," I think. So I decided to plan out a few adventures and a few places that I might go along and see. The Figure of Eight Pools  - The Royal N.P http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/~/media/A6F39A3430CC43EEA99AB0B957049ED9.ashx So the first up is the Figure of Eight pools not too far from home. When I first saw the figure of eight pools, I fell in love with it almost immediately. It was an amazing sight that I'm sure everyone would love! The pools are only a few kilometres out of Otford, with a pretty decent walk to get to them. The views from the pools and surrounds are ones that you don't get tired of throughout the day; the ocean is a magnificent blue, and the rock formations are intriguing. I could easily spend the day walking to, from and exploring this area. Though to make it more ...

Since my last post , this blog has been on my mind pretty much all day, everyday since Thursday. Now Monday, I thought today would be the day where I would plan out aspects of my blog, from when I'll be posting so that it won't interfere with my school life, and what I'll be posting. I've made a huge list of what I would like to post, with topics ranging from camping and adventures, to book reviews and baking. Either way I have a lot planned, so stay tuned! Getting in to today's treat, I thought that introducing myself to everyone would be a good way to go. A way for everyone to get to know me and get to know the girl that is behind this blog. They're in no particular order, and are completely random facts and thoughts I came up with, so with no further adieu, here are 25 facts about me! My name is Jennifer I have been a scout for approximately 12 years During my time there I have had many accomplishments, my most recent being my Queens Scout Awar...

I've wanted just to sit down and write for so long as it's been ages since I've written a post, but every time I've sat down, I've been disturbed by either homework, more study, or home life. I'm still disappointed that it's taken me so long though. So currently I'm in the last week of school holidays before I go back to school. I have been studying like a mad idiot for about a week, summarising everything, writing essay paragraphs, doing practice exams. I think the worst part about it all, is that even though I've accomplished so much, it's taken me this long to get around to writing study notes that I'm still so behind. I have just under four weeks until my exams. I'm hoping that I can have everything done, or most things completed by then. In my HSC, I have such a broad, different range of subjects that I'm studying. So for each one, I have to have a different study method. To study for English, I've found that re-read...

Guess what?! Today is the first day of Winter. The first day of my absolute favourite season! There are so many reasons as to why I love winter.  The creamy, hot chocolates with the mini marshmallows, the long drives down south to ski in the snow, and blankets. Enough said. I just love winter.  Winter is just the best season to exist, and there is no doubt about it. However, with the cold weather, winter brings along some challenges, and that's why I decided to bring to you some of my Winter Essentials! To start out, a few skin care products to keep your skin perfect throughout the season: Moisturiser Moisturiser for me is a must. Even though I love the cold, if there's a cold wind whipping through me, the skin on my face feel like it’s being torn off. So I’ve been using a moisturiser by Clinique called the “Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel” . It’s nice and light and makes your skin feel softer and more hydrated almost immediately. I absol...
