Hey everyone,
I am so sorry, I have been so slack posting lately even though I promised to make it more of a regular thing! Recently with all the opportunities I have been presented and all the things I have learnt I wanted to start updating my blog with not only recipes but a few of my thoughts as well. I think I have a little bit more to offer other than just food so I would love to get a bit more creative in that respect.
Firstly, a little about myself.
I am an only child that lives on the coast of South Australia in a small little town that has beautiful beaches, a bit of lush country and a forest that is just a twenty minute drive away - in short, it has it all. Although most people that live here complain that there is nothing to do or spend there time wishing for the moment that they can finally escape the confines of this desolate, boring, isolated, good for nothing town; I wouldn't change it for the world. Some of the most amazing views I have witnessed have been right here in this small country town, and I am so grateful to live here.
At the moment, I am studying at a small college and I am part way through my second year of year twelve. The reason I chose to split my final year over two was originally so I could keep doing what I love doing without it impacting my final results too heavily. During the first year I studied both English Studies and Mathematical Studies, which were fairly engaging subjects. As much as I loved everything about English, Maths was a different matter which I somewhat struggled my way through. This year I am studying Biology and Physical Education and loving every minute of it.
As previously mentioned, I split my year twelve so I could continue to keep up with the things I loved. This was mainly centered around gymnastics which has been a massive part of my life. However with a change in club, and an increased travel load (one hour and a half each way), my thirteen year passion has begun to dwindle. Although I am still doing gymnastics, this year a large portion of my focus has been upon my schooling, food/photography/Instagram, running, and spending time with people that I care about.
Currently I am on the verge of adulthood. In a few days (June 22nd) I am turning eighteen. Already this year has brought me so many opportunities - particularly through the world of Instagram - and I am so grateful for all of them. I never dreamed of anything ever eventuating out of this which makes it all the more exciting. Although the addition of an extra year doesn't actually change much, the start of the next year will. I finally have to find a place to live, find a job there, choose a career path and do a substantial amount of growing up. Next year I am hoping to focus my education around nutrition as it has been a passion of mine since the creation of my Instagram account.
So whats to come?
In a couple of weeks time I am heading to Melbourne and with a bit of luck I will be able to document some of my time there, the places where I eat, the things that I do and the pictures that I take. On top of this as well as continuing to provide you recipes, I'll share my thoughts with you every so often. So stay tuned!
