Do you still subscribe to magazines?

by Melissa Walker Horn | Mar 7, 2022 | Books, Movies, TV

I’ve always loved the glossy pages of a magazine. Not literally, the glossy pages drive me nuts with fingerprints, but you know what I mean. Whether it was about fashion or home decor, far off adventures or food. A lot of why I wanted to be a writer when I was a...

Taking a social media break helped me figure myself out

by Melissa Walker Horn | Jul 31, 2021 | Confidence, Personal, Social Media

Over the last month, on my social media break (as much as work allows), I’ve noticed a few things. Things about my life that I completely missed in the non-stop app switch that is social media. Firstly, I’m not very satisfied with my life. I keep looking...
Five things that make your blog reader friendly

Five things that make your blog reader friendly

by Melissa Walker Horn | Jun 23, 2021 | Blogging

I read somewhere on Facebook this week that list posts are passé. Done. Over. It turns out that I didn’t get the memo because I LOVE to write the darn things. List posts help me corral my thoughts and line them up in neat little rows for you all, which is...

Skillshare Courses for your blog, brand or business

by Melissa Walker Horn | Mar 22, 2021 | Business, Reviews

Skillshare, I love it. What can I say? I could happily spend the day with Skillshare courses playing in the background of whatever I’m doing. And as someone who couldn’t say no to whatever new online course was being offered by the influencer of the...
Size does matter in Australian Plus-Size Fashion

Size does matter in Australian Plus-Size Fashion

by Melissa Walker Horn | Mar 20, 2021 | Personal, Style + Beauty

This week we saw another brand launch into the Australian plus-size fashion market. Fronted by one of the biggest names in plus, American model Ashley Graham, with the locals following loyally behind. The Commonry burst onto the scene with the sort of ripples a...

The return of the #InMyInbox series (not too shabb The return of the #InMyInbox series (not too shabby, considering the comeback is only two posts so far!). This one isn't the usual unsolicited email that caught my eye. I've known Pip for years and worked for her since H&H started with Chalkboard. So, if you're in the market for sleepwear, sizes 4 to 34, in premium natural fabrics? They might be for you. As far as sleepwear goes, I don't wear anything else. A total convert!

When you work for yourself in a home studio, there When you work for yourself in a home studio, there's not a lot of week-in-the-life action. It's a lot of computer time, and no one wants to see another video of someone typing. Lucky for me, I have a garden, some pretty cute dogs, almond flour pumpkin bread and Kel. Oh, and I reordered some Mingle jars. Has anyone tried the Laksa yet? We are excited (that's an understatement) to give it a try; we love the others. That these arriving was the high point of my week is kinda sad, not going to lie. Haha. #sugersplace #thisweekinmylife #weekinthelife
When I promised the newsletter crew that I would s When I promised the newsletter crew that I would start back posting a blog post a week, I wasn't sure where to start. But maybe, by getting my closet organised (it's a disaster) and working out what my personal style will even look like in 2025, some of my confidence and general self-esteem will return. It's been an interesting few years over here, so let's see where to next. On the blog at https://sugercoatit.com/heres-hoping-fashion-can-boost-my-self-esteem-and-confidence/
