Recent changes to Elsie LMC! + Mini study update! πŸ€“

Hi everyone! How is your day going? Or rather how did it go? (It’s surreal to think most of us are living in different time zones! 😡 What time is it where you are?) Anywho! πŸ˜‚ Recently I showed you my new blog header design (thank you for your encouraging comments about it! πŸ’—) and I told you how I have been working on a few more changes to Elsie LMC to make it more appealing and looked after πŸ˜‚ (as much as I can until the day comes when I decide to go self-hosted…I’m so worried about that! πŸ™ˆ I have way too many questions πŸ˜‚). They are only little changes but I’m so happy with how they make me realize how I’m steadily growing with my blog.

The biggest change (out of a small bunch πŸ˜‚) is that I updated my about page! I thought this would be a good idea because it’s the first thing that you lovely lot might come across and so I thought I should make more of an effort and tell you some things about me that those of you who have been with me for a while probably know (I’m quite boring πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚) but those of you who are new might not (and should totally ignore me calling myself boring! πŸ˜‚). Regardless I would really appreciate if you could take a peek at it!

A few other things I have changed about Elsie LMC are:

My new profile picture! (Wearing an incredibly cozy jumper πŸ˜‚) thank goodness for Snapchat filters as I’m more comfortable taking selfies when they are kinda funny πŸ˜‚ (I took my glasses off for this one so that the filter wouldn’t show double pairs like it did before πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚).

I have changed the quote at the top of my website to: Take a chance and see where it takes you! I got this from the book I told you about in my August Favourite’s post, A year at the Star and Sixpence by Holly Hepburn. The character in the book who said it was referring to himself so I changed it so that it can be applied to anyone.

Mini study update! πŸ€“

Yesterday I started my Bookkeeping and accounts home course after tidying up my work space over the weekend!

…yes starburst sweets are my study aid! πŸ˜‚ So far the course is everything I hoped it would be and I love how flexible it is going to be around my flare-ups. Although the college sent me the wrong textbook so the lessons don’t correspond the way the assessments want and its very confusing so I am waiting to hear back from them (there had to be something wrong! πŸ˜‚) Either way I am over the moon with joy! I may not be able to physically attend college but I’m not letting that stop me from moving forward (.. especially not this textbook issue either! πŸ˜‚).

Thank you for reading! πŸ˜‰πŸ’— Do you have any tips for the perfect study space? (I think I need to remove distractions like my books on the shelves as I’m just tempted to read them πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚) Have a lovely day!

  1. Sweets are such an important part of study! Some people may say you need healthy snacks, but sugar has always worked for me, and if it works for you then you’re good! πŸ˜„
    I love your new profile pic πŸ˜ƒ

  2. Oooo I love the new changes! 😍 And can I just say I’m completely jealous over your desk – I have a slight desk obsession ( weird but true ) and yours would look amazing in my room spray painted white!πŸ˜‚
    I hope you’ve been happy and well, I’ve been away from the blogging community for a good two weeks and I feel like I’ve missed a lot! Looking forward to catching up on your posts xx

    1. Thank you so much! πŸ˜„ I love it! And I understand the obsession πŸ˜‚ I looked at so many of them before finding this one in Ikea for a bargain and they have it in white too! I’m glad you’re back! Thank you, have a lovely evening πŸ˜„πŸ’—

  3. I switched to self-hosted a few months ago and it’s definitely a lot more to learn and think about! I’m gradually getting used to it tho. You’ll know when the time is right to switch over. πŸ™‚ Your blog looks awesome btw! And as far as study tips, I have to remove ALL distractions lmao I get distracted so easily! Having my favorite snacks to eat while I study and do homework helps me.

    1. I’m glad to hear that the change over worked for you and that it’s possible to get used to it. You’re right! I have time to think it through. Thank you so much! πŸ˜„ I used to not really get distracted but after being away from a studying setting for a while I’m terrible so something has to changeπŸ˜‚ hope you’re having a lovely day πŸ’—

  4. I’m just so dumb! I read β€œnew study” and immediately thought β€œoh, she’s study something new”. Then I saw your desk and thought β€œduhhh”. lol anyway the space looks awesome. Very tidy. I’m so glad you’re enjoying your studies. You’re a warrior. β€œWho says I can’t go to college? College shall come to me!!” So funny that they sent the wrong book. I don’t know why but colleges having this way of messing things up. Tips for things you should keep close to your desk: many many colored pens and highlighters, tons of post-its, a functional (and not crazy) printer, candles, snacks, a very comfortable chair that doesn’t hurt your back and a little blanket for your knees, if you get cold 😊 I’ve been at a desk for years lol I’m kind of a desk pro. Anyway, this is getting way too long. So sorry. Love your selfie and it’s 3.18 pm here, London time. Is Ireland the same time zone? Lots of love and hugs πŸ€—

    1. Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I’d don’t know what I’d do if their was no such thing as a home study option, probably slowly go crazy with nothing to do πŸ˜‚ Yeah you’d think they’d be more professional seeing as when I think of what they were supposed to send me it wasn’t that much as it’s the first few assignments to start off πŸ˜‚ thank you for the amazing tips! I definitely need to get some highlighters, I thought I could find the few I packed away earlier this year but might aswell treat myself to new ones πŸ˜‚ I think I might get a new chair as my one is like a brick πŸ˜‚ yes it’s the same time here! πŸ˜„ Hope you’re well and having a lovely day πŸ’—
