I've never been one of those girls that carries everything apart from the kitchen sink in their handbag. I carry my essentials and only the bare minimum of things. If you want to see my day-to-day handbag essentials, keep reading!

Hello again!
I hope the last few weeks have not been as stressful as mine have been!

I'm a graduated lady now (kinda...). I officially graduate on the 9th of December, but really I'm all done now. I finished my last exam on the 2nd of November, but I already passed the subject so I wasn't stressed at all for it - thank goodness! I'm so keen to be graduated and entering the world with two Bachelor degrees!

Um... I'm getting married! I've been engaged for a while now (two whole years actually... woops!), so we finally decided that we should probably just do it and getting hitched. Since university finished for me I've been in wedding planning OVERDRIVE. Not even kidding... I've been pinteresting so many wedding ideas and everything. We've locked in our date, venue and photographer so we are well on the way to being happily married. Further details of our nuptials will probably seep their way onto my Insty or Facebook page.

As you are reading this, I'm probably leaving Melbourne. As a little present to myself for getting my way through five years of university, I thought I would treat myself to a mini getaway to Melbourne. I left on the 20th of November and I will be returning today as this post goes live with my belly full of delicious food and happy.

Speaking of food and the wedding, I am on a mission to better myself. I have been heading to gym for the last 3 weeks at least 6 times. I can already notice the changes in my body and I cannot wait until I am at the peak of my fitness. Additionally, my diet is a million times better. Daniel and I are trying to go towards a more plant based diet as we both find we feel better and less sluggish when we do. Also no Coke - still. I think my body is actually loving me right now. Things are tightening up and looking crazy better. Happy with my progress!

Anyways, that is my life lately. I hope you guys enjoyed my little catch up :)

So... woops. It's been a while since I've actually written a Tuesday Thoughts post and I can't really give an excuse. Sometimes trying to manage so many things in life gets a bit stressful and you really just need to take a step back and breathe.

My partner and I have been hiking all the time lately. Literally every week. I've just been feeling the weather here in Queensland and have been starting to feel more inspired and energetic. It's also a great chance for us to spend some quality couple time together without the hassle of phones or emails. We can just be us, without distractions. We've been to probably about 10 or so different locations and the Sunday just gone we hiked around the Lamington National Park and it was absolutely beautiful. I can't get over how gorgeous and lovely it was. Unfortunately I got stung, not once but twice, by those dang stingy plants. Dead, so uncomfortable. If anyone knows of really good, rainforest-y kind of hikes please leave me a comment and let me know! :)

I handed in my last assignment EVER the other day. A couple days early I might add! Basically this semester I only had two assignments and one final exam, so it's been a fairly cruisey time. Now with both assessment done, I just have the final exam to complete and then I will be graduating! OMG. Five years and the time is nearly here. What do I treat myself with? I'm thinking a Tiffany and Co. necklace?

Job applying has been getting me hella down as I keep getting knocked back or feel like there aren't any jobs that really sound like they fit me. I'm a bit torn as to what I want to do with life, but I'm hoping if I take it one day at a time I will figure something out. I'm going to be graduating with a Marketing and Information Technology degree, just FYI!

I'm getting a spa facial today, but I don't really know what is involved BUT I am keen for it. It's with Jurlique and it is to welcome in Summer and prep my skin so it looks healthy and radiant! I love getting pampered, it is such a nice feeling to feel super important for a little bit and get treated to some luxury!

True Blood has been my life lately. I used to watch True Blood back in the day and watched the first three seasons, but never bothered watching the final seasons. I figured it was time to finally put the series to bed, so I've been watching it non-stop lately. On the seventh and final season and nearly done. I feel accomplished, like I've achieved something with my life.

That's all for now guys, I hope I will be able to post a weekly Thoughts post, but I am not going to promise anything because I hate feeling guilty!

Woops. So the last couple weeks I've been a bit overwhelmed with life so I haven't really been able to write up a regular Tuesday post!

Another week passed... another week closer to the beginning of Uni for the semester!

I like doing these weekly post because I find it allows me to express myself and talk about what I feel and blah blah. Literally like an actual private journal. Anyways, this week wasn't too bad.

In order to keep me on track for my blog posts and videos I thought I would be a bit more personal with you all. I don't want to just be a beauty blogger, but I also want to share my life, thoughts, feelings and everything with you guys because I consider you all friends!

Basically I've decided to start a weekly "diary" type blog post every Tuesday (hence the name Tuesday Thoughts). This post will literally be a post on my weekly life. What's been happening, what I've been doing and my general thoughts.

Hey, so I thought I would do a quick little post about the multiple points of contact I currently have.

1. Duh, the blog. You can comment on any of my posts and generally I will reply answering your queries!

2. My email. heytherejacquelyn@gmail.com - generally, this is only used for PR/Business purposes.

3. My Insty. @heytherejacquelyn I am most commonly found on here and love to chat to EVERYONE! I publish some pretty pictures and post up anything I find interesting! This is the best way to try and contact me because I am always on!

4. My YouTube! I don't post videos (as of yet) but one day... Feel free to subscribe to my channel for future possible videos! heytherejacquelyn

5. Finally... I have set up a Facebook page! heytherejacquelyn - I plan on posting up here links to my blog posts and sales and interesting things I come across etc. 

Anywaaaays, these are the ways you can chat with me! Would love to really get to know the people I'm writing to ;)

I honestly don't keep much in my handbag, but when I go to uni I usually throw in my iPad as well. Let's have a quick squiz...
