New Zealand

This is a very belated post consindering my trip was in May but i thought i would finally share some snaps of my trip to New Zealand.

Its and incredibly beautiful country and i absolutely loved it. I went to Auckland which is in the north island and im already planning a trip back so i can see the South Island.

 

These are just a few of the many snaps. Just looking at them makes me want to go back!

Untill next time

stay fresh!

 

Apps of the moment

Today i thought i would share the apps that i am currently loving.

First we have bloglovin which is an app that allows you to view blogs you follow. I like how easy and simple it is to view posts on here. It allows you to see any new posts that you have yet to read and once you have read them they are 'marked as read' so you can know what you've seen.

Im addicted to game apps on my ipad so i thought id share a few that im loving, the first being The Simpsons Tapped out which is a real time build your city type game but your building springfield! As you level up you unlock buildings and characters and there are missions to complete. Any lover of the Simpsons would enjoy this.

The second game app i have on here is Pet rescue saga which is by the makers of Candy crush. In this game you basically just have to match coloured blocks together until you reach a certain goal. Sounds simple right? It gets hard and its so addictive!

The last game i included is of course Candy crush. By far one of the most frustrating games i have ever played but its just so darn addictive. This game for those who dont know is just another colour match game where you need to move tiles to make matches and achieve certain goals. It gets to be very challenging and very frustrating!

The second last app I've included is Blogsy, which i am using as we speak to write this post. It is the only app on my list that is not free (its around $6) but in my opinion definitely worth it if you are a blogger. It basically just allows you to post to your blog from your ipad and you can manage more than one blog. I love it because its easy to use and so convenient and i think it will definitely help me keep up with my posts.

Last but certainly not least is Day one which is a journaling app. Im not very good at keeping up with a paper journal so this app is great because it reminds you to write everyday. You can set it to have a password so that all your thoughts are private. You can also add photos to your posts and it can record the weather and where you are at the time of post. Its really handy and a great way to record memories and thoughts.

So those are the apps that ive been loving at the moment. What are your favourite apps? Im always interested in finding new and interesting apps.

Until next time

Stay fresh!

 

 

What ive been upto!

Hey guys! Today i just wanted to give you an update on what I've been doing/enjoying.

So lately I've been in a bit of a reading slump and watching probably too much TV, along with family life I've been rather busy.

I've gotten back into Desperate housewives, back when i used to watch it i never got past season 5 so i decided i needed to see the rest, I'm currently half way through season 6 and loving it. Its kind of a guilty pleasure.

I have heard so many people talk about Criminal minds and how great it is, so i decided i should get on that bandwagon.

I'm only about 6 episodes into the first season but i can see myself really getting into it. Ive never really watched that many crime shows so this is kind of a first for me.

Then there is Vampire diaries, which i used to think was kind of ridiculous but I'm half way through season three and as much as i don't want to admit it, I'm hooked! Its really just an addictive show that you cant take too seriously.

Also want to mention that Family Feud has come back to Australian TV and i get so excited for it every night! I love yelling answers at the TV while I'm cooking dinner, just a bit of good light hearted fun.

I've also been watching but am a little behind on American Big brother, i cant believe how different it is to the Australian version!

On the reading side of things anyone who's seen my book blog will know I'm neck deep in a reading slump and honestly just struggling to get through a book right now.

But the two I'm currently reading are The night circus by Erin Morgenstern and Its not summer without you by Jenny Han

Both are enjoyable but I'm just not in the reading zone at the moment.

I'm currently listening to some oldies. Ive gotten back into A Day to Remember, mainly their album Homesick but i do love most of their work.

I've also gotten right into music from the 00s. I love going on spotify and finding a 00s playlist and just blasting it. I think it was such a great time for music and it has so much nostalgia for me.

Creatively I've been working on a couple of crochet projects.

I'm currently making two crochet blankets both with different methods of 'ripple'

I kind of wish i doubled up the layers of colour on the blue one but I'm too far in to change it now. I love how the purple and grey one is coming along i think they will turn out great. 

I'm also working on a granny square blanket but as i haven't put the squares together yet i don't have anything to show but a bunch of granny squares, I'm really excited to see how this one turns out though. 

So those are the main things that have been keeping me occupied lately as well as family life.

I am really hoping to get regular posts up at least twice a week on this blog, i wish i could say the same for my book blog but i kind of have to play that one by ear.

Tell me what you've been loving?

Until next time Stay Fresh!
