Melbourne Trip

Hi guys! So as you know I'm in Victoria this week, and so far it's been absolutely fabulous! For the people that don't know, Victoria is a state here in Australia. So I arrived here on Sunday and for the past few days my mum and I have been staying with a friend (Karen) that lives in a place called Bendigo. We were there to celebrate her 50th birthday. The past few days have been full of celebration, including multiple dinners with friends and family and lots of presents. Bendigo is such a lovely place, it's full of beautiful old, vintage buildings and lovely parks with tones of colourful tulips. So today my mum and I have said good-bye to Karen and her son Ziggy and caught the country train from Bendigo to Melbourne CBD. As soon as we got here we were overwhelmed by the rush of things in the city. We then checked into our backpackers hostel (which to add is surprisingly tasteful and clean?!?). Anyway, at around 6pm we went out to explore a little and pick up some dinner. It became evident quite quickly that the people of Melbourne held much more style and life compared to Brisbane. It was also quite strange to see that Melbourne city was way busier on a Wednesday night than Brisbane city is on a Friday or Saturday night. So, after exploring we picked up some Indian curry and took it up to our room to enjoy whilst watching a long awaited episode of Big Brother. The next few days we intend to shop (till we drop, lol) and explore the city in greater depth. I am making a video of my time here, so if everything goes to plan, it will be up in a week or so. But for now I will leave you with an assortment of photographs taken over the past few days!
Looking forward to posting again soon!

Birthday Picnic

Hi Guys,
I've finally finished all my exams and assignments for this term, yippie! This means that I will be dedicating much more time to this blog! So, it was my birthday yesterday and as you already know I got a camera! To celebrate my birthday I went down to the local park with my friends for a casual picnic as it was such a beautiful and sunny day. Me being eger to use my new camera, I decided to film snippets of the picnic and then later make them into a little video. This was my first time making a video, I usually tend to just stick to photography, however if you guys enjoy it I may start to do videos every now and then :) Also, on Sunday I am going to Melbourne for a week with my mum, so I may make a video out of that aswell :)



Here is the video:

Good & Bad News

Hey Guys!

So today I have some bad news and some good news.
I think I'll start with the bad news, so I can end on a good note!

So, the bad news is that for the next couple of weeks I will not be posting every Monday and Thursday, due to massive amounts of school work. However, I will try my best to upload something interesting every now and then. I do promise in 2 weeks time, the usual blogging will be back to normal!

Now, onto my good news. In around 2 weeks it is my birthday, woo! I know I mentioned this a couple of posts ago, but I am getting a camera. This therefore means that I will be posting photographs taken by myself! There is also a second piece of exciting news. As you may know, I have two blogs- my personal blog and my body and soul blog. I was soon to find out, that it's quite a lot of maintenance updating two blogs. So I have come to the conclusion to 'mash' both blogs together. So, this is the blog that I will keep, though the name will be changed to EKH. Don't stress, I still will be posting  body and soul tips, though I will also be posting about my personal life, this will include pictures and videos!


Sorry that post was so long.
Anyway, I hope you continue to stick around!

I assure you that when I come back in 2 weeks, my blog will be better than ever!

Thanks for hearing me out :)
