Oh boy, what have I done!

This morning I committed to a blog post. That was before I realised that my to-do list really didn't leave much room for such things. But, a promise is a promise. After digging through a bunch of drafts with no half-finished winners (judge me if you will, haha), it was time to just go for it and...

I don’t want fine; I want great

In the latest Suger News, I shared that I've been unwell mentally for a while now (read it and subscribe here). And that my tricky tricky mind had done it's best to convince me that I was fine. Days were fine. Nights were fine. Relationships were fine. Choices I was making...

A tarot card reader told me to watch my back

A few weeks ago now I had my tarot cards read. It was an impromptu thing at a party (shout out to Liv and Ben!). Given it was only weeks after giving my notice, of course, I wanted to know how my business would go. How would it all turn out, this leap of faith I'd made? It turns out that the cards...

I outsource household chores so I don’t lose my mind

I'm not sure I've ever met anyone THAT into doing the washing or cooking (every. single. night). Me either. A very strong ME EITHER. And that's why we outsource household chores. I'm not sure if you know but I especially hate the fact that when you do your dishes, almost immediately, there's...

I don’t know if you heard…

But as of two weeks ago, I am back working for myself 100% of the time! Eeeekkk. We made it, team. AGAIN. If you've been following this blog for a while (hands up!) you would know this isn't the first time. I had a cafe when I was 21 (craziness! Haha) and there was a time around 2011 that I worked...

Oh hey, 30’ish podcast

It's announcement time! Samara and I are relaunching our podcast, Suger + Ink as the 30'ish podcast. It's about that time right now where we are madly trying to pre-record some episodes and get everything set up to go. But before I go into all of that, let me tell you a little bit about the...

Are you ready to work for yourself?

Just last week I gave notice at my day job to go back working for myself full-time. Even though it's been pretty casual over the past year, this will give me the ultimate freedom to work in and on my business. I'm excited and nervous because you never can tell when you're ready to work for...

Sierra Burgess Is a Loser: a tale of fat girls

You didn’t think I’d let the new Netflix movie Sierra Burgess is a Loser go by without my comment, did you? Knowing my love of all things Netflix Originals movies, you can’t be surprised. Add in that it had not one, but TWO fat girl story lines in it and I was sold. Here’s why as a fat woman I loved it, and you should see it too. And not just for Noah Centineo.

So your kids want a digital career?

So, your kids want a digital career? I get that. There's a shift away from traditional employment happening. So maybe your child will be a YouTuber or eSports Gamer or any of the other hundreds of things people do online as jobs. But I can help you, and your kids, be ready for this change. After...
