Under a Fig Tree | Update

Hello everyone, I'm back!

Back, as in I just left this space to be for a while because I have been doing other stuff e.g. working, studying, sleeping. I haven't really been doing much for the last few months, I've just been trying to survive working and studying and paying rent, the usual.

My room has has some major updates, which I will post soon. My wardrobe also has had some drastic changes and my shoe collection which has changed (I've sold some old pairs and bought some new). I no longer have a large collection of boots (first time in... almost 10 years?).

 I also have some new makeup bits (some really exciting stuff I've got recently!!!). You can say that I have been purchasing a bunch of stuff over the last few months (thanks to my insomnia x mood at night... hehe).

I wanted to post about this candle though, it's my ultimate favourite. It's not sickly, it's subtle, it's fresh and warm. I purchased it from feelunique when it was on special--it was well worth the money. It was $28.80 when I bought it, before feelunique made some major changes to their website and charges now for shipping to Australia...

So after burning the entire candle, I can say it is SO SO nice. The only down side is that it doesn't quite burn as evenly as brands like Glasshouse and Ecoya. It tunnels down the centre a bit, but it goes away if you burn it for a few hours every time you light it.


I love anything and everything fig. But ESPECIALLY when it is a woody-fig scent.
Also, the wax is purple. And the jar has a little quote you can see when it's burned down and lit.

I went back to Brisbane in March and then Early this month for a few days just for a little break and to see my little canine sister Gemma. I honestly wouldn't visit that often if it weren't for her haha! Even though my fam got her the day before I left, I've visited so many times that she knows who I am and gets excited to a new level when she sees me! She's a Labrador (but her papa is half border collie) so she's a bit funny looking for a Lab, mostly because her muzzle is longer and skinnier and her ears fold weirdly (you can't tell from a side profile though). My dad jokes saying she's an original Lab while he presses her ears down flat hahaha.

When she was all doped up after being spayed. She's never calm like this when someone is touching her...
And she's not usually allowed in the house, but this night she had a great slumber party and trodded over everything.

I will hopefully keep this space updated more frequently, just to catch up on everything. I've not been feeling so great over the past few months, mostly just from exhausting myself out. Hopefully great things will be coming my way!
