Storm Season has well and truly arrived here in South East Queensland. As I write this, there are multiple storms bearing down on the entire Brisbane area. Just a few storms, as you can see above! Like most people who live in […]

Eat Drink Blog 2013
As I usually do when there’s a conference on and I’m not at it, I engaged in some hash tag stalking over the weekend. Eat Drink BlogĀ is a niche conference for – well, it’s pretty obvious: food bloggers. Even if food blogging isn’t your niche (as I’ve posted about before, it isn’t mine!), the conference […]
Bright Monday – Pink Ombre Top
Bright Monday today was a new top – a cheapie one from Kmart. I still can’t quite work out how to do a selfie…but at least I’m actually using the front-facing camera on my iPhone now. I can never work out if you’re “allowed” to wear pink and red at the same […]
There’s Something Fishy about this Tart
Thanks to the lovely Mel from The Cooks Notebook, this weekend I won a cooking class at the Good Food and Wine Show in Brisbane. Since I had no other plans, I jumped online to buy my entry ticket and happily spent Saturday in foodie heaven. Tip #1: Bring a bag to put your […]
New Mother Kit
A colleague in my day job recently went on maternity leave to have her first child. Not really knowing what to get her, knowing that she likes practical things, and liking making my own kits lead me to create the New Mother Kit. Not having kids or ever having been around them myself, I’m […]

Do I want to be a ProBlogger?
Do I want to be a ProBlogger? Is this my job? My passion? My career? I go backwards and forwards on this. I hate things like SEO and have no interest in thinking about them. I don’t clean and wouldn’t know how to pretend I did if a brand offered to pay me to write […]
Are You Truthful?
Monday morning is where the “How was your weekend?” questions start. Do you answer them truthfully? My answer would be along the lines of “Crap. I had cramps, the painkillers spaced me out & made me feel strange, I didn’t sleep, and I cried at random things (probably because of the lack of sleep).” But […]
Bright Monday – Orange Edition
My go-to flats are a bargain leather pair that I bought a few months ago in Big W for only $30. They were my first pair of ballet type flats too – most are too narrow for my feet. So when I was trying to think of what to wear for Bright Monday […]
