I am VERY into lakes recently. I know, spoiled much?! As I wrote about when I was taking about my dream home, I already live by the beach and want to keep it that way. But lakes are mysterious to me. They have romance, intrigue. They’re not a normal thing to me. They are […]

Fix My Fashion Woe: Capsule Wardrobe
Fix My Fashion Woe (FMFW) is a series I’ve mentally had in my head for a while. I’m not an overly girly girl, I don’t particularly enjoy shopping, but I often want to know things about clothes or style. But without having to spend time at the shops! I know, I don’t ask for much… […]

Tomorrow I would have been taken to a place in the Adelaide Hills for a corporate team building activity surrounding cooking. Fun! But I said no. I don’t think many people will […]
Long Haul Flights
I’ve posted some tips on long-haul travel before on my travel blog, but seeing as many people sound like they’re off to New York for Blog Her soon, I thought I would post them here. Disclaimer: as you probably know, I haven’t been able to afford travel in a few years. But none of […]
Unforgettable moments
We all have unforgettable moments in our lives. Some are based on a place or time, others might be meeting someone who has inspired you. One that sticks in my mind is the first time I went to the top deck of the Eiffel Tower. I was 19 and on a Contiki tour of […]
