Another one about growing up.
The first memory I have of feeling awkward, uncomfortable and embarrassed to be me is from when I was eight. It’s been a long journey since then. There are signpost moments that stand out. Lessons learned, and heartbreak earned. I tried hard sometimes and didn’t try much at all other times. I learnt some stuff…

I read my star sign and I believed it.
Basically it said that in October you will see the end of 2 years of hard work. From October you will reap the benefits of that hard work and enter a fruitful stage of life. And I, having felt like I was on a bit of an upward slope getting nowhere, believe them. As the…

Aussie Curves: Celeb Copycat {She Wore What}
Celebrity Copycat week pushed me over the edge a bit. I tried and failed to get photos on more than one occasion. Things weren’t lining up. I was taking things a bit too literally. But when I can across this photo of Rachel Bilson online, I knew that I wanted to do an outfit inspired…

I was a fighter, not a lover.

Something bright and nautical, of course, for the harbour side city. And I always didn’t get photos. But you see I have this amazing friend, with…

The way you treat people matters.
Sometimes you come across a person who pushes your buttons and makes you reconsider your position on murdering people {I’m anti-murdering people generally, FYI}. This person pushing your buttons ruffles your feathers, fires you up, makes you want to scream. And maybe I want to. Maybe I think that the best way to get through…

My mum staples her chips packets.
I went to the ‘snacks’ cupboard at our office today. I work with my Mum, we share an office. I knew I was pretty much out of appropriate snacks and was going to pinch some of the plain Kettle chips she had rolling around in there and say nothing more about it. Reaching for them, I…

I would anything for stats but I won’t do that!
In blogging it’s about knowing who YOU are. Knowing what YOUR limits are. Knowing what you’re happy to do or not do to grow your blog. To flog your blog, to be a bit crass about it. For me I exploit the tales of my Hubby and my family and friends for personal gain. Sure…

Cute Floral {She Wore What}
Leading into spring there is plenty of colour out there. From pastels to neons and everything in between. For years I’ve been in black, a side effect of a mostly corporate, country town wardrobe. But bit by bit I’ve added loads and loads of colour. I just can’t help myself. I FEEL colourful at the…
