News: What messes with your head

The most anticipated movies of 2021

Posted on Jun 27 2021 by Sascha

As a result of the chaos of COVID-19, many of the movies intended for release were instead shafted to 2021. While that made for a relatively lacklustre 2020 in Hollywood, it does mean we’ve got an exciting slate of films heading our way this year. So, in order of release, here are a few of the most anticipated movies of 2021.

Looking forward to a break

With semester break just around the corner, I am trying to find things to look forward to. Here are just a few.

Exercise: gym, walking & home workouts

I was recently gifted a Fitbit which I really appreciated because I owned one a couple of years ago. I found it useful to track the sort of exercise I undertook during the week, and my sleep habits! So, I am keen to go back to tracking as it’s a gentle reminder for me to get more active and sleep earlier. How do you incorporate active minutes in your day-to-day life?

Learning to accept mistakes

As I near 25, I’ve been reflecting on the chapter of my life that’s my early twenties – a time filled with successes and (quite a few) mistakes.

My go-to smoothie recipe

Drinking a smoothie is one of highlights of my morning. It’s a healthy start to the day and provides lots of energy! While I am a fan of cafe smoothies or a cheeky boost juice, I often make my own at home (thank you to my trusty nutri-bullet)!

Burnout: hey, hey, my, my

I’m feeling like this photo I took of the sea lion captures the stress I am currently feeling about the slow pace of my writing. If only “flow” would possess me straight for four hours each day then I’d have this thesis done already.

What does a balanced diet actually look like?

Posted on Jun 21 2021 by Sascha

In today's world, there's a storm of conflicting and confusing information (some of it scientifically proven, a lot of it not) about what we should eat, when, and why. So, just what exactly ��a balanced diet?

The power of gratitude

Posted on Jun 20 2021 by Ada

The last year and a bit have been really tough on all of us. A lot of the time we only focus on the negative things and seem to forget all about the positives. Gratitude is a great method for people to be able to respect and treasure what they have instead of constantly looking for something new to make them happy or complete.

Study music: finding the perfect playlist

Posted on Jun 19 2021 by Ingrid

Classical, lofi, pop and perhaps even country music. Finding a great playlist to listen to while you study can make or break a productive session of study. Read for my thoughts and recommendations!

Breakfasts around the world

Posted on Jun 18 2021 by Ember

Ahhhh winter’s here. Although I’m seriously missing the long summer days, winter has always allowed me this special time to re-discover the joys of a slower daily pace. The freezing early mornings are ironically a wonderful time to get the blood running with a workout. It means a late breakfast which tends to come in the form of a brunch.
