The mental game.
I’m about to complete Week 5 of the Couch to 5km app and I really, really struggled on my last run. The intervals were a 5 minute warm up, 7 minute run, 2 minute walk, 5 minute run, 2 minute walk, 7 minute run, 5 minute cool down. I had completed the run before with…

Aussie Curves: Spike {She Wore What}
So it’s spike week… Hmmm. I love the idea of spikes. I particularly LOVE the shoes with spikes. However the one time I owned a pair I managed to kick myself in the shin and cause all sorts of pain and a bit of minor bleeding. Needless to say, I avoid them. Mostly. I was…

My Wardrobe Essentials List {Budget Fashionista}
So here it is, my list of wardrobe must haves, essentials, everything you’ll need to look stylish all year round! It’s been a long time coming this post, mostly because I was a little undecided about how much or little to include. I guess in the end I decided that I would include the basics…

Modern Country {She Wore What}
They always say you can take the girl out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the girl. Well this farm girl never really left the country. A few years at the beach. One even more west and I’m right back where I started, sort of. I am on a house…

Stripes & Brights {She Wore What}
Tuesday after the Beautiful You spa day I was still rocking my blow wave {on its last legs} and was all dressed up with nowhere but work to go. So I promised Hubby a frozen coke if we could just grab some photos. I look as tired as I am and I’ve ditched the long…

Creating a Culture of Ick.
I don’t normally weigh in on such things as the politics of sport, but well, it hit me in the face and cannot help but be commented on. There are probably no answers here for those seeking them. Perhaps Googling them such is the desperation. Australia wants to know, when the hell did our sports…

Intimidation factor.
I’m pretty scary. Trust me. People in my office have told me so. Many people over the course of my life have told me so. I’m intimidating. Luckily, these days it’s when I want to invoke that impression. I have some control. The other day there were two teenagers having a domestic in a bus…

Aussie Curves: Green {She Wore What}
For a really long time {okay, a few years} I wore my hair a golden shade of copper which pretty much ruled out wearing green at all, surprisingly. Clearly my faux red headed’ness was evident to the colour gods. Because of this I just don’t own much green at all. Luckily I realised when looking…

It’s oh so quiet…
You know how the song goes. …It’s oh so still. Shhh. Well it’s a bit quiet our lives at the moment. We go to work, we snuggle on the couch, we sleep and start the day again. It’s nice actually. We’ve had a few big weekends in a row. There’s nothing like being at home…

My husband is my best friend… Cue gag.
I always rolled my eyes when people said they married their best friend or their spouse is their best friend. Cue the gag motion and much judgemental sniggering. I didn’t get it. Didn’t they KNOW any other people? Have other friends? Really? How sad for them. Honestly I thought that half of those people were lying. The…
