Exploring Melbourne

In the search for a hobby, I have written a post about my day with some photos that I have taken with my new camera.

I'm in Melbourne at the moment with my boyfriend for a short holiday. I have been to Melbourne a few times before but have never been able to really explore the area, as it has been to visit boyfriend's family.

While searching for what to do in Melbourne I came across a suggestion for a small French patisserie called 'La Belle Miette' that sells macarons, which just happened to be around the corner to where I had just finished shopping at H&M. As soon as I saw the word macarons I knew I needed to go straight away. La Belle Miette has four shops in Melbourne, I went to the one located at 30 Hardware Lane, Melbourne. Outside their shop is cute french style chairs and table to sit and eat one of their 17 flavoured macarons. Or if you want to take them home to eat later you can get them packaged in cute boxes that look as delicious as the tasty treats inside of them.

Now it came to the moment when I needed to pick the flavours.
As much as I wanted to say 'one of each please' I picked 6 flavours, 72% cocoa single origin chocolate, Caramel a la Fleur de Sel (Salted caramel),  'Bastille' - Moet et Chandon & Blackcurrant, Pistachio, Strawberry & Vanilla and Scone with Jam & Cream.

I then decided to search for a caffe near by to get a coffee to go with my macarons. I found a caffe just a street over called 'Brother Baba Budan'. This caffe is very small but makes amazing coffee and has so much character with their ceiling of chairs and artwork on the walls.


Overall a great day exploring through Melbourne, if you are ever in the Melbourne city you must visit these places!

On the Hunt for a Hobby!


I have been struggling for a while about what I should use my spare time doing. I find myself getting quite bored lately and need something to fill my time with. My boyfriend has many hobbies like cars, computers, gaming, anime and more. After talking to a few of my girl friends about it and asking them if they have any hobbies they have, most of the time, come up with the same answer they "don’t really have hobbies". It seems that girls have a harder time coming with hobbies or interests than guys do.

I just bought a new camera (Sony a3500 DSLR) and created this blog to document and talk about the different things I will try and do to fill up my spare time and find what I like to do. 
Some ideas of hobbies and things to try:
  • Photography
  • Baking project
  • Read a new book
  • Paint
  • Draw
  • DIY
  • Restore old furniture
  • Make candles
  • Make jewellery
  • Work out
  • Yoga
  • BLOG!
    • Blog about my day
    • Blog about beauty - makeup and fashion
    • Blog about hobbies

I hope this blog will help me to figure out what I like to do and to help any other girls come up with ideas on new things to try.
