A few of my favourite things…
A little while back, I thought it would be fun to do favourite things kind of post. Feature books and products, homewares to skincare—stuff I’ve seen on the interwebs in a roundup style post. But then, from memory, it was Afterpay Day. And the very idea of sending out a post flogging stuff, even if…

Do you still subscribe to magazines?
I’ve always loved the glossy pages of a magazine. Not literally, the glossy pages drive me nuts with fingerprints, but you know what I mean. Whether it was about fashion or home decor, far off adventures or food. A lot of why I wanted to be a writer when I was a child was because…

Lizzo’s watch out for the big grrrls
Ummm, excuse me, internet, but have you heard about Lizzo’s new show? “Watch Out For The Big Grrrls” is coming, and I’m not sure we’re ready, to be honest. It’s a dance competition for a chance to win a spot on Lizzo’s World Tour. Now, I don’t know much about dance. My experience ended when…

How can social media sell out an entire…

The power in telling your story
If you’re following along on Instagram, you would know that I decided to set some time aside to read last weekend. My books of choice from my recent book haul were Carly Findlay’s Say Hello and her curated collection of stories Growing Up Disabled in Australia. On Saturday, after sending the super delayed Suger News,…

Books about Body Image for Girls
If you feel like you’re under pressure from the diet industry machine to change your body in some way in the new year, think of how body image for girls must feel. New year, new who? Diet plans and ‘get healthy’ resolutions disguising less than ideal ways to treat yourself. It’s a minefield out there…

Movies to motivate and move you
My go-to wind-down tool of choice is movies. There’s only one genre I’m not into (gore/horror) and I’ll watch anything. Earlier in the week, I thought I’d start pulling together a bit of a list of my favourite movies that move me, in some way. A lot of them leave you feeling uplifted and motivated…

Have Teen Dramas grown up? Or is it just me?
Is it just me or did the whole Teen Drama genre, whether it be show or movies, level up in the past few years? Shows like Sex Education and the new Mindy Kaling series “Never Have I Ever”. Please Netflix gods, never stop making these shows. Plus a mention for Spinning Out because we all…
