Feel free to make yourself a cup of tea and curl up on the couch while I walk you through my favourite ways to decorate and prepare your home for autumn...
For as long as I can remember I've always bitten my nails. It was something my mum and brothers always did so I developed the nasty habit too. Mainly stemming from nerves, anxiety and even boredom, I would subconsciously bite them until they started bleeding. I always felt self-conscious about the way my hands looked, I used to curl them up so you couldn't see my fingers in school photos. I pulled the sleeves of my jumpers over my hands so you couldn't see my raggedy, short nails. I never wore rings and I couldn't wear nail polish...

So even though many people might not need a backpack for university and college this year, I thought I'd share what I take to uni along with some studying and note-taking tips...
