25.04.25 | Dear Diary, It's been a truly amazing experience interning for Vivienna and having to participate in her fashion show at Melbourne Fashion Week in Australia was something really fun and spectacular. This will be a memory to remember, and I know, for sure, when I look back at my journey, the one I've walked thus far in the fashion industry - it is one with surprises, hard work and a lot of consistency. Something I've come into terms with is, after finishing university, in work life, dreams and careers take a lot of investment - whether that's in time and effort with the product that's being designed and made, or, if it's the network and relationships. Therefore, time is scarce and precious. We must value it righteously. We must also value ourselves and our consistent efforts. We are worth it :) With lots of love, Laura 🌸 #fashiondesignandsewing #fashionblogger #fashiondesign #fashionshow #runway #fashion #internshipinaustralia #viviennalorikeet #postgradlife #postgrad

21.02.25 | Dear Diary, When Summer winds are through, the Autumn leaves begin to brown and fall. Life is like an endless cycle of seasons, but eventually, time catches on. A positive way of looking at it would be to embrace everything, the journey travelled, and steps ahead :) Love, Laura 🍁 #autumn #travel #australia #explored

27-28.07.24 | Dear Diary, To my dearest friends in Sydney, "They say that the nature of friendship is between good people who are alike in virtue. Each is attracted to the other’s excellence, desiring what’s best for the sake of the friend’s well-being. Such friendships endure since virtue persists. But it is rare..." Love Laura 🌷 ____ For those who are curious as to what the prized book that was won is, it is called "Zhuan Falun" by Li Hongzhi, which is the main book of the spiritual practice Falun Dafa (aka Falun Gong). ✨ What is Falun Dafa? ✨ It is a spiritual practice that is rooted in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Consisting of the two main components: self-improvement through the study of teachings, and gentle exercises and meditation. Falun Dafa is taught free of charge and is open to all. 🌟 Read the book online: https://www.falundafa.org/ ____ Music Credits: Daniel Kelly - "Turning the Wheel" from A True and Righteous Way Daniel Kelly Bandcamp - https://ozfolklounge.bandcamp.com/album/a-true-and-righteous-way Daniel Kelly Ganjing World - https://www.ganjingworld.com/channel/1f5kpejipk0bRSp0TQx5Z7ZE71910c Daniel Kelly YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_INuhR3hTE #Sydneycamping #CCCBluemountains #Camping #spirituality #mindfulness #Reflections #Wintercamp #Kindnessiscool

Dear Diary | 09.01.24 It's been a while since I last created a video, this one has been a long one in the making. Finding gold within ourselves during times of hardship tests our perseverance and willpower. Journeying to Ballarat was an escape for adventure from my work life. It takes strength to organize and prioritize oneself, and a conscience of what is needed to make one's life fulfilling. Thus is the life after university :) But I am still working on it! For who I want to become... Special thanks to Asllan ✨️ Love Always, Laura #journalling #victoria #travelling #JourneyThePath #Ballaratvisit #touristsite #SoverignHills

27.12.23 | Dear Diary, This year has been one of my favourites, experiencing the world, growing and becoming. No words can describe my appreciation to those who have made my journey possible. Thank you, and thank you, again and again. 🌷🌷🌷 The New Year marks a new age, and another beginning. I do not wish for anything else but to continue watching myself grow, and discover who I am, and how far I can go. Happy New Year everyone~ 🌟 - Love Laura #studyabroad #cisaustralia #rmit #TravelLikeAPro #FascinatingCity #TasteOfSummer #Europe

Dear Diary | 10.08.23 Venice was a spectacular city, with beautiful scenery and people, it's one of the places I would love to come back to. Did you know the island resembles that of a fish? Whenever I think of Venice, I would think of the ducks, the canals, and of course, the seafood 🐟🦐✨ Love always, Laura *** Music Credits: Joe Hisashi - Moving From Howls Moving Castle All rights reserved.

30.06.23 | Dear Diary, It's offically been 6 days since I've arrived in Florence, Italy, it has been an amazing time in this walkable city and I wanted to capture a few moments of the first few days and document it through film. It features one of my favourite songs, Moon River by Audrey Hepburn, I hope I will look back upon this journey and reflect on how I've grown - independently, individually and confidently. Love Laura.

27. 02. 26 | Dear Diary, Sun Moon Lake was a beautiful scenic place to visit, especially for the tranquility of the tea mountains and the central lake. We had lots of tea tasting and some exploring, and unfortunately, some not-so-nice mosquito bites.
