I was reading this Buzzfeed list yesterday about books that every Aussie kid read at school and while I’ve read some, two in particular stood out: Where The Forest Meets The Sea I loved the collage as a kid and would borrow the books from the library & run my hands over the pictures […]

QT Hotel Gold Coast Bazaar Restaurant
I know my photos from ProBlogger last year were pretty food-heavy, but it was for good reason. One, the QT serves really good food. Two, it’s hard to compress two days of heavy learning into a few blog posts. So I left my Bazaar review to be its own post. You can check out the full […]
Life Is Grey
I am far from a serious social media user most of the time. At least for this blog, anyway. It’s a personal blog and as such, my social media reflects me: sometimes happy, sometimes grumpy, often lightly mocking food bloggers on Instagram, and sometimes whacked out on painkillers from cramps. I posted that photo […]

What I Loved: I Only Took Photos Of Food
It seems my appetite is well and truly back. I was going through my photos to see what I could put in my What I Loved post this week and it seems I’m a closet food blogger. Who knew? I’m really far too lazy to be a “proper” food blogger….because I want to eat my […]
Folk Remedies For Blogging
I was playing with an idea generator this week and this gem presented itself. So then I decided it was brainstorming time. How can there be folk remedies for blogging? Inspiration Take a luscious and long hot shower with three drops of eucalyptus oil. Make sure you really breathe it in, clearing […]
What Religion Are You?
What do they tell people to never talk about? Politics & religion? Yeah…turns out I’m not so good at following rules. I wasn’t raised in any particular religion, though I do know I have been baptised in both the Anglican and Catholic Churches. The Catholic baptism was so I could go to Catholic […]
Drinking And Society
I haven’t had a drink in … I don’t know. The last time I instagrammed a glass of wine was 8 weeks ago, so maybe 8 weeks? Even from my non-skilled-in-rehabilitation place in the world, I can appreciate how empowering it must be for alcoholics to know when their last drink was. But when […]
Easy DIY BBQ Kit
If you follow me on social media, you’ll know that “eating out” for us is very literal – we live by the beach and take full advantage of the free BBQs to get some outside time for breakfast (and occasionally dinner). Since we do this pretty often, I have a system that I use […]
#2015TheYearOfMe Weekly Challenge 8
This week for #2015TheYearOfMe I want to focus on a sense that we often overlook easily. Smell. It’s easy to notice when something smells bad, but it’s harder to go out of your way to notice or create something that smells good. On the weekend I decided to use up some travel shampoo bottles that I […]
