22 THINGS I LOVE IN BOOKS & 55+ BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS! | Weird books, bodyguard romances & soft magic 📚😍

~ Ellyn ~ 6 Comments

Hi friends, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m fangirling about 22 of my favourite tropes / favourite things in books! I can be *really* picky with the books that I choose to read, and on top of that, the books that I choose to 5 star! So, with any of the tropes or elements in this list I could be completely thrown off if it was to just be upped a tiny bit, but if it’s the perfect amount than it’s most likely a 4.5 or 5 star read for me. I really am a picky reader which is why so many of my reads get a 3 star rating or somwhere around that, but more often than not, if a book has one of these elements, it’s going to get a really high rating from me!

Also, supringly, it was a lot easier to write this list than my hate list (coming soon!) so that was an honest to god shock but a good one!

WHAT I EAT IN A DAY // behind the blog!

~ Ellyn ~ 6 Comments

behind the blogger_get to know me_feature

Hey guys, welcome back to my blog! This year I have been trying to make a conscious effort on my blog to let you guys get to know me better, and I’ve recently been trying this out on Instagram too (@allonsythornraxx). So, within that vein, I was recently binge-watching some old Sarah’s Day videos and I was feeling so inspired by how open and honest she is with her subscribers and I got inspired! So, I thought I would try and do something different to let you guys no more about my life behind the scenes and I’m taking you through what I eat in a day!

I didn’t have school last week on Monday (29/04/19) so I decided to do this on that day! Usually, I do have school but I decided to take a study day and take a bit of a mental break. So, in this post, as well as taking you through my food I’ll also show you what I do during the day!

Hey Guys! Today I’m coming at you with a tag/post/thing??? I don’t know exactly what category this fits into but, I thought I would give it a try nonetheless! I’m not totally sure how to do this post because I’ve only heard of it before, but I’m going to assume I use the letters in my blog name and recommend books that describe me and hopefully you guys can get to know me through books???? Maybe??? I really don’t know???

Also, my blog name is also pretty long so maybe get a snack and a drink!

CLEANING MY ROOM + UNCLOGGING & DECLUTTERING MY SPACE! FT. BEFORE AND AFTER PICS | yikes™😫🤯🤷‍♀️

~ Ellyn ~ 20 Comments

Hi, my name is Ellyn and I get busy and then I get messy and then I get anxious and then I get anxious about being anxious and then I freeze up and live in a zone of nothingness. My bedroom was pretty much a mess for the end of 2017 and all of 2018. Most of you guys will know this, but I have gotten a few more followers this year so you can check out this post if you’re curious, but last year I had a lot of family and school troubles so the tidiness of my room was the least of my troubles.

I actually start school this week so I wanted to make sure that I could start the school year off as stress-free as possible, starting with my bedroom. I don’t enjoy living in a room that basically looks like a sty, but I also have a very small room that *certain* members of my family seem to think they can dump their stuff in whenever they don’t want to deal with it. So, I had a lot of rubbish and a lot of other people’s stuff clogging up my space, and nobody wants to go into the new year with that. So, I decided to take a few days and clean up my space to hopefully help clear up my mind as well as make being in my own room a less stressful experience.

PS: If you can’t handle mess, maybe don’t read any further?

Hey guys, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m getting a bit more serious and talking about my first impressions of University! Full disclosure, 2018 was a crap year for me and starting Uni in the middle of that wasn’t the best timing, but today I’m mostly just talking about my classes and my actual experience at my University.
