      I was contacted by them to do a video, I'm not sure how they pick and choose the people they want to get involved but if I stopped blogging I wouldn't be getting any offers so just keep consistently doing what you're doing to build up visitors and things will fall into place (:

      I'm sorry that you feel that way :( I know I've been mixing it up a little and as much as I enjoy trying different things, I can assure you that I will always continue to blog the way I've always blogged. I'm in the process of doing more outfit posts like the ones I have previously but my schedule just hasn't allowed it yet but it will soon <3

      They're pretty much caffeine pills that keep you awake

      Growing up in a different generation from your parents can be hard and make you feel like youre from 2 different worlds or that you simply just don't understand each other. I know it's frustrating when you feel like you've done nothing wrong but at the end of the day she's your mum and she's the only mum you've got, don't turn your back on her. She may not be expressing it well but she loves you a lot and I think the financial stress is wearing away at her and it's making her take it out on you. When you feel like you've tried it all, try to take her words in stride and tell her calmly that you're doing your best. When things are heated and you're talking back to her, it's giving her a reason to be mad at you and continue arguing with you.

      When you talk to her, tell her you know how she's feeling. You know that she's stressed and that she needs you to help her out, reassure her that you might not have all the money in te world right now to give her all the things she wants but you're studying hard so that you can get there. Instead of getting defensive when she accuses you of being selfish, just remind her that you're trying your best. If she's still mad then just keep on doing what you have to do so that you can prove to her that everything you're doing now is to serve the greater purpose of making her happy in the future.

      I don't know your family situation as well as you do, but sometimes when you can't get through to somebody you just have to keep trying till you do. I hope things shape up at home <3

      I'm not too sure which post/picture you're referring to but I can tell you that it's just because my nose is weird looking on its own haha I haven't attempted to contour my nose yet and this comment just confirms that I probably shouldn't!

      At first I dealt with it in all the wrong ways. I locked myself up in my room and didn't want to talk to anybody or do anything. I just stayed in my room, thought about all the good memories that I had with that partner, looked at things that reminded me of him and just felt sorry for myself and cried myself to sleep. I'm not ashamed to admit I did all those things because I think we've all been there before.

      I got back on track because my friends lovingly ambushed me haha they would come over unannounced with chocolate to eat and a shoulder to cry on and they'd always try to cheer me up. It took a lot of convincing to get me up and out of my house but when I did it and I started enjoying life again, I started seeing things from a whole different light.

      Instead of thinking about the past, I thought about everything I was able to take advantage of now and what that would mean for my future. I now had all this spared up time to focus on my blog, my shop, my education, my work and my health.

      I still felt weak sometimes and I would relapse, especially when I'd suddenly be reminded of something that we shared or did together. The best way to get past this for me was to write it all down. Any time I felt emotional, I wrote it all down in a letter as if I was writing directly to my previous partner and even though I wasn't going to do anything with it, I guess knowing that there's something physically written down on paper that I could give to him if I really wanted to - kind of helped me release my feelings. Over an amount of time I looked back on these letters and I'd realise that I didn't even have those feelings there anymore. It's sad how quickly feelings change but sometimes it will save you from letting things drag on for longer than they should.

      Your friends will also be your rock during all of this, don't neglect them!

      I would actually give them an Infographic rather than a cover letter, if you'd like to find out more about Infographics let me know :) but I guess if you're going to stick to the easy option of a cover letter just make it something that is very personalised to Lovisa. Look up some stats and achievements about the company and commend them for it, give them specific reasons why you think you're suitable for Lovisa instead of something general that you're sending off to all other workplaces and let them know what your future aspirations are.

      In this day and age though, you should be presenting yourself through infographic and not through traditional resumes and cover letters ;)

      Unfortunately I haven't so I don't really have any experiences to share. You're better off searching in ye good ol' Vogue forums :)

      I'd consider myself a pretty sensitive girl so I take things to the heart but I don't think there has been a moment where someone has unconstructively criticised me to make me feel bad about myself.

    15. Annieo

      Yes I do! Well at least I try to, sometimes I just take a while but I'll get there!

      When I worked there I was still in my teens so I got paid the normal retail rate which was around $15/16 p/h

      Sometimes I'd have to work a full shift (9am - 5pm) but there were days where they only needed me for 3 hour shifts so it varies. You have to buy all your clothes but you'll get it at the staff discount price.

      I actually have no clue, I haven't been to General Pants in a very long time! I guess its festival season now so wear what you would if you were shopping at General Pants looking for an outfit to Stereosonic...which means shorts and some form of rustic, edgy looking top.

      It's one of the most durable bags that I own! I have the beige colour and I was worried it would get dirty really easily, the only issue I've ever had with it was when I continuously wore this dark blue coat it started rubbing off on the handles of my bag. Besides that, I pretty much carry my home in there and everything easily fits. Nothing seems like its too heavy for my bag either, the straps and handles are so sturdy and I can't see any scratches at all.

      Highly, highly recommend the Givenchy Antigona! It makes the saffiano on my Prada look so weak!
