5 blog business tips I learned the hard way
My blog is five years old this October. I think we need to have a party. Don’t you? Remind me to organise something, if you would. This time of reflection had me thinking about what I’ve learnt. About blogs and business and blogs as a business. Blog business. And since I was pondering, and you…

Failure is an event
I can still remember the first time I heard the saying “failure is an event not a person”. Deep in conversation about the mistakes I had made in my life, brow furrowed and jaw set hard with disappointment, I wondered if I’d heard it right. Failure is an event. The thing that happened to me,…

Win a Hope & Harvest Y.O.L.O. Skirt
This pretty darn impressive skirt has been hanging over the back of my office chair for weeks now. Taunting me. Mr Suger hasn’t been around to grab any photos and I wanted to be sure to do it justice so I’ve been gazing longingly at it, unworn and lonely. It’s time finally came! Paired with…

Steal Her Style: work-wear
As you guys know, I was offered a position as an Executive Assistant. They passed their trial {ha!}, and I passed my performance review. A review unlike any I’ve been through before and WAY more fun just quietly. So now it’s time for me to whip my work-wear wardrobe into shape. The environment at my job is a reasonably corporate…

The triumphant return.
I made my triumphant return to the gym this week and last. A return that was long coming due to the complaints of short daylight hours, long work hours and more than enough things to keep me hopping. And I could tell it was time. My wobbly bits were doing that extra bit of jiggle…
