AUSTRALIA DAY – WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?
You could say I am pretty Australian. Not because I wear thongs (I still haven’t recovered from the fact that Haviana somehow made thongs trendy) or say “gday” (which I don’t by the way), but because my family came out on the ships. Not because my great, great, great, great, great (you get the picture) [...]
THINGS THAT SHIT ME: JANUARY
I’ve spent most of this week moving house. As a free spirited minimalist, I am adverse to accumulating large items of furniture, which has meant moving has been relatively easy for me in the past. However, this time there were two of us moving in.
THE LOVE LIST: JANUARY
A monthly collection of things that I love, inspire me or just plain make me happy. From art, music, people, places and pursuits. What inspires you this month?
2010: LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
Well, hello my darlings. It’s been a while since I have graced the pages of my blog. It seems like such a long time since my last post, but yet, time seems to have flown by, and I feel like I’ve hardly had a holiday. However, I shan’t complain, since I’ve had some fabulous times, [...]
IN THE EYE OF THE STORM
can’t deny it – I am going through something. Something that makes me want to run straight to the shop for a bottle of sauvignon blanc and a packet of Vogue super slim menthols. A sorrow so deep that it’s bringing me to my knees.
FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
It always amazes me that whenever I have the courage to let go of something in life, that something more amazing inevitably takes its place. It’s as though every time I clean out my cupboards, have a good cry or let go of things that aren’t working; something shiny, new and fabulous comes along.
WHEN I GROW I UP I WANT TO BE A ….
As we come to the end of the year, I find myself reflecting on the year that was – okay, okay, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself, but if Myers can put out their Christmas decorations in August, well then I can go all introspective on you before the New Year. So where was [...]
THINGS THAT SHIT ME: NOVEMBER
Washing Dishes in the Sink Yes, the unthinkable happened – my dishwasher broke down. I hit the on button and swanned to my bed to lay down, but instead of the usual hum, there was silence. I opened and shut the door a few times and still, nothing. Frantically, I pushed previously unused buttons in [...]
WHEN IN DOUBT GO WITHOUT
Every now and then we have an OMG consumer experience. Yesterday I sent a courtesy email politely declining the services of a design agency to redesign my blog. There were a number of ways the director could have chosen to communicate her discrepancy with my reasons not to spend my money with her company. Branding [...]
THE LOVE LIST
As the estrogen that has been surging through my veins, starts to release its grip on my mind and body, I now find myself with the urge to contemplate on the lovely, the good and the fabulous. At the risk of sounding of like Oprah (I must confess I do have a soft spot, especially [...]
QUEEN OF THE CASTLE
As my hormones continue to hammer me, I am riddled with self doubt and dancing on the precipice of sliding down the slippery slopes of depression. Even though my golden rule of navigating the roller coaster of hormones, is to disregard everything that my brain is telling me as complete crap, I can’t help but [...]
GUEST LIST ONLY
Two weeks of working into the early hours and spreading myself too thin, and I am mentally, emotionally and physically shattered. How have I ended up exhausted and lost in the middle of other people’s problems and needs? I’ve always had a strict guest list only door policy, but it seems the bouncer has let [...]
THINGS THAT SHIT ME
I’m in a foul mood – yes it’s coming up to that special time of the month. So in honour of my hormones taking me hostage, I’m making a list of the things that shit me, in the hope that it will be a cathartic release that will restore calm and serenity to thy soul. [...]
PERMISSION TO BE ME
There are many things about me that many would consider unorthodox. Not that I’ve ever been intentionally rebellious, I’ve more just done my own thing, despite what others may think. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always trusted that voice inside that told me what was right for me, instead of what other people were [...]
ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY
Picture this. A friend has received their “divorce settlement” and asks you to go overseas with them. Having only known them for a few months and not having the money, you decline. After she begs you over and over, telling you she’ll pay for the ticket and accommodation, because she just really enjoys your company [...]
