Power for good, not evil.
When I announced the winners of the Blackmores give-away last week, I mentioned that I had my fingers crossed for Amanda after her heartfelt comment and then, she won. Yay! Magic. Scarlet said good to see you are using your powers for good. And I thought, yes, yes I am. I don’t mind using my magical wishes…

Do you remember…?
When I swanned around and had long lunches and didn’t have to go to work every single day? Any day really. Mostly I had more time to think and plan and put into motion the things I had planned. Then I started a job. A familiar but different job. I was back assisting my Mum in real estate sales…

A Perfect Dress for Sunny Autumn Days
When I spotted this dress in the Virtu Winter catalogue I imagined it with tights and tan boots. A heavy cable knit cardie and cool Winter days. It turns out though, that I live in Queensland and I’d be waiting for a while for a day like that to wear it. So instead this weekend…

The Unbloggable Stuff.
Most bloggers have a line that they can not and do not cross. It could be relating to your partner, your kids or your work. There are just some things that the internets don’t need to hear. There’s that too. But mostly for me it’s the partner/family member/friend veto. The quick as a whip, pointed,…
