I’ve got to learn things the hard way.
So, confession, even though I dislike pretty much all that Beiber stands for (stood? Who the heck can tell what’s media hype and what’s an actual asshole in sheep’s clothing) when it came to the new album, I loved it. Like WAY more than I would ever have expected to. But why share this? WELL.…

I don’t want to…
I don’t want to laugh at a joke when it’s not funny to placate you. It doesn’t matter to me that you find that offensive. I’m okay with a little offence, are you? Can you be with that just a little while? It concerns me that you, and not just you I’m generalising, find it…

Where the lines overlap.
I’m unwell, you might have noticed me mention that, I’m a terrible sick person. I could almost deal with it and just keep slogging on if being sick and sad didn’t focus such a bright shining light on everything that I feel like isn’t working in my life. And you’ll find, under a blinding, unflinching…

What IS the moral of the story here?
Being a woman is a tough gig. We were talking on the weekend about how the expectations placed on us are different; especially when it comes to being women, mothers, daughters, lovers, friends. These conversations between women, assuring those amongst us feeling the weight of that pressure, are essential. Because if we don’t call bullshit…

Suger’s Place Office Makeover
Oh yeah, it happened. Or IS happening. It was office makeover time. If you follow me on snapchat (sugercoatit, derr) you would have seen progress as we went through the first day. On Instagram, I shared a before and after of the floor. But what you didn’t see is the transformation of this once single…

Letting Go vs. Holding On
This post could have just as easily been titled, sometimes you’re just at the beach with sand in your face. It’s about letting go and holding on. It’s about knowing the difference and not knowing the difference and trying to figure it all out. It’s about choices. As I sit in the sand, the wind…

The Sugers are going Sugar-Free (again)
Morning team. I thought why not take this fine Saturday morning to lob an announcement into the interwebs. Mr. Suger and I decided, me mostly and he’s rather compliant with such things since I prefer to cook, are going sugar-free. Again. It’s the triumphant return of Sugar-Free Suger. I know there is a lot to…

Hey, want to hang out in Melbourne?
While I’m in Melbourne next weekend, I’m going to be hosting an evening with the Team at 17 Sundays. Because they’re cool and we love to hang out and HELLO new season goodness. Those of you on Instagram or Facebook would have already heard the news, but the blog folks NEEDED an update too, don’t…

My epic weekend was epic…
Oh dear lord. As I sit here now, I still feel the need to recover a little. Like maybe a month of napping would sort me out. Or a juice cleanse. SOMETHING. I’m pooped. You see, Amanda and I share a birthday and after a couple of years of knowing each other we decided to…

So I was in this group chat and…
The girls and I have a group chat. As you do. I’m sure you have at least one raging on your Facebook. And one night, with nothing, in particular, to talk about, the conversation switched to men, our collective nerdiness and the funny things that have happened to us when the two things collided. And…
