Heyyy! Itโs meeee – Ellieeee!
Welcome back mi amigos! This is my first blog post of 2018! Whooo *crowd cheers* ๐ Today I wanted to reflect back on 2017 to see what a great year I had. I made some awesome new friends, settled into highschool well and I achieved all of my resolutions from the start of 2017 last year! ๐ So if you would like to see my year in โshortโ form then continue reading!
Lessss Goooo!
At the start of January, we did our usual โGang Holidayโ that goes for around a week or so and it is in early January. Last year we went to Clare and currently, we are at Port Willunga which is pretty cool bananas! ๐ Towards the end of January (which seemed like it had come out of nowhere) it was time for me to start highschool which I was soooouuper ๐ excited to start! This is a silly pic that my friend and I took on the bus that takes 1h and 15m to get to school – yes, that means an early start was required. *ugh* ๐ด
February is the Month of Relay for Life which i do every year since I was…12? After my gran passed away from cancer, I have been more motivated to want to participate in these events to raise money for a cure. Itโs also so fun as well because we always do all nighters or stay up until like 2am doing laps and eating food! Hehe! ๐โโ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ
This was when I had my first highschool sports day and I am in the colour yellow…just like I have been every year since reception! Even in the transition of primary school to highschool i have still stayed in yellow! Who is a fellow yellow colour member for sports day? โ๏ธ
This is when I started my Face Painting Buisness (yes…you probs have no idea!) and I practiced a lot and I was doing some parties more often! Also Easter ๐ฃ was here to come and say Hellooo! I always get confused around Easter and I think it is the 2nd longest public holiday after christmas cos it goes for like 5 days! Hehe ๐ awesome! Holiday and tonnes of Chocolate! ๐ซ We also took our new puppy to the beach for the first time! ๐ถ
For Motherโs Day, we headed down to victor harbour for a couple of nights and we also brang Daisy too!
My birthday month! *whooo!* ๐For my birthday we went down to Hahndorf and went Strawberry picking and had lunch at my favourite cafe EVER! Its the seasonal garden and their food is goals! ๐๐ผ
This is when we stayed in the city for a few nights and we went to a Port Power game! We sat in the members stand too which was awesome! ๐ I also went to Oh Deer Sugar which is a new bath and body shop! ๐๐ฝ
This is when I had my birthday party! (Yes, just a tad belated ๐) I wanted a time when everyone was available and when we had nothing on! It was so fun though and I loved it so much! ๐ This is also when State Volleyball was on and we came a close….*drumroll!* 6th. Whooo. But we played so well and I dunno how we ended up there!
This is when I decided to start a dream journal (which is now my dreams, doodles and whatevs journal ๐). This is also when I started to make my shorts for a school assignment!
Halloweeeeen! ๐ One of my favourite holidays!! I dressed up as a mermaid ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ ๐ heheThis is when we also all went on holiday to Queensland for 11 days and we did the Theme Parks and White Water World! *HOLIDAY SERIES TO COME!* ๐ด This is the month that I hit 200 follows (and now almost at 300!) It was the 6th of November and I remember being like โOMGOODNESS! WHAAAA?โ ๐ โจ Also my bestieโs birthday party was on and I had so much fun with everyone! ๐ ft. Ann, Ginger, Ella, Kait, Emily, Soph, Erin and Raf’s comments lol! Check out their blogs! Lol
I canโt seem to remember anything…it was such a long time ago! Jk! CHRISTMAS TIMEEE! ๐ I decorated my room, went to Lobethal for my Dadโs birthday and (of course) NEW YEARS EVE! ๐ฅ (We cant say day because that would mean I would be talking about this year! Confusing!) Also for the last week of school, me and my friends (great english) went to the beach ๐ and I accidentally ended up with one ofmy friends slides (we swapped shoes!) ๐
So that was my whole (not really cos i probs forgot a lot of stuff) 2017! I hope you enjoyed having a little snoop at my past year and if you did, feel free to have a wonder around my blog!
I am very excited to be sharing another year in 2018 with all of you amazing people and I am souper ๐ pumped to write about some new series and topics!
Ok, byeeeeeeEllie xo ๐ด ๐
It looks like you had an awesome year! How did you got with high school this year? I remember when I started it was really daunting! Iโm in the red house at school, but Iโve been yellow before. I actually posted my own 2017 wrap up recently too โบ๏ธ. I hope you have an amazing 2018!!!

I loved the post! Just a question, what’s the relay for life? We’ve got it here and Mum and I were talking about doing it since my gran’s just died of cancer…until we realised we had no clue what it was about! Can you please enlighten me?

oh, Iโm so sorry for your loss. My Gran died of cancer too about 4 years ago ๐ I definitely think you and your Mum should do it, maybe get a few friends to do it too! So basically you set up a team (you, Mum, a couple of friends/family whoevs!) and you do some fundraising leading up to relay for life to raise money for the cancer council that goes towards research for a cancer cure. On the actual day of Relay, you have your own little campsite and ou can set up your tent (overnight) and a shade area to hang out. You basically spend the day doing laps (walking or running) around an oval (you donโt have to though) the event is just for a bit of fun and fundraising. You can check out their website too for more info! Hope that helps! ๐ xxxoo ๐
