How to handle your big energy (for good)
When you’re happy, that’s my favourite thing sings Elmo loudly from the tv screen I’m using to distract my niece. She dances to the song, and I smile that she’s settled into her visit. Elmo is right; we love being surrounded by people that lift us. Happy people are great to be around. It’s a…

Plus-Size didn’t exist at Australian Fashion Week, apparently.
Last week was Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia for those playing at home. Exciting times, right? The fashion world hosts dinners and parties, runways and events. And BIG surprise, pun intended, there is not a visibly plus-sized woman to be seen. It’s disappointing, and as runways (and street style photography) worldwide get real with what fashion…

Today I cooked…
Lately, Kel and I have been ordering a meal delivery service (which we love) but in the interest of saving a little extra money for our upcoming cruise, we cancelled it. This isn’t such a big deal except that it’s been a long time since I took any joy from preparing the food we eat.…

I’m selfish; are you?
I’ve been called a lot of things in life. You know the drill, I’m sure. The no one escapes the being called ‘things’ thing. The words and the descriptions that define you, the ones you take on and stick to you like glue. Some stay to be a trigger for years to come. Like spoiled…

Shit, I did it again!
Three weeks without a blog post, team. Almost four, but who’s counting. How did I let this happen? AGAIN. And I’m not beating myself up about it. I’m just determined to update you more often on what’s going on around here. The Chicken Pesto Pasta Salad was great, but I’m sure you’re wondering how the…

Pesto Chicken Summer Salad
Something that we have started getting back into lately is pasta salads. Pasta salads are so easy to take with you to bring a plate style gatherings. And even if you’re not going anywhere, most of them make well in advance and keep (a caution about avocado and tomatoes though). This week, when I was…

Easy favourite
Every girl needs a go-to outfit that doesn’t need ironing, is easy to wear and can but slipped on (or off) at a moment’s notice. For me, that kind of thing is exactly the type of clothes I love to wear. Piece by piece I’m building up a wardrobe of these type of items and…

New year, same old me
[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ next_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text] Well, here we are, team. In a whole new year; do you feel it? That nothingness? It turns out we are all exactly who we were before that magical step through into 2019. As much as I prepare for that moment when nothing magically changes, I’m always here a little miffed…
