Strawberries & Cream

Baked by yours truly.

A buttercake with strawberry jam, fresh strawberries and cream.

Best thing I've baked yet :)

So I haven't posted in a quite a while. University has taken half of my time and the rest has been allocated to my business la petite mademoiselle (you can follow my actions here). There's a heap of things to buy so head on over and spend some :)

University has been crazy busy. I'm lucky I don't have exams but I have a tonne of essays weighing 50% each due on the first day of exams, giving me very little time now to finish them....or start them more like.

I'm looking forward to next weekend, Queen's birthday long weekend, as the family and I, including my tail (boyfriend) are heading up to Terrigal. It'll be good as we (partner and I) are looking to buy a house some time in the future in Terrigal so it's time to investigate.

My life is pretty boring at the moment, not a whole heap to report on. Got myself injured and now don a pair of crutches.

So if you're bored, like me, and enjoy shopping, hit up my little online boutique :)

Long time no...post?

So it has been the longest of times since my last post, and I've been busy as anything. Won't bore you with the minute details, but I have found something to bury my other time in. I've started a business called 'La Petite Mademoiselle'. It's an online boutique (mainly for women) and I stock jewellery, clothes and whatnot. It's only a small project at the moment because money's a bit tight, but it's going well.

Eventually, I want this to become a brand people know quite well. I will eventually take up clothing designers, jewellery designers, shoes and bag designers too, but that's a few years off for now. Hopefully I'll get a nice big warehouse to wholesale out of, and retail shops to also sell and market my items off through.

I want to be able to turn my ideas into a reality, so after my Bachelor of Socio-Legal Studies (which has eclipsed my life for now), I will go to Tafe and do a website designing course (do you know how much people charge for a website! Golly gosh!) and do a fashion designing course. And maybe throw in there something for me, a photography class.

On a completely unrelated note, for Christmas last year, I got a nice Nikon D3100 :) Thank you mama and papa Ye :)

On a more personal note, life is treating me well. For those close to me, you will know everything has changed from a year ago today. My life couldn't be more different. I'm more independent, somewhat more confident and more motivated for sure. I'm battling 5 subjects this semester by comparison to 3 and 2 last year in semester 1 and 2 respectively.

For now, that is my update. It's time to dive, once more, head first into my readings.
