Posted on February 13, 2014June 9, 2017by Vanessa Smith
Give Yourself Permission

There are many obligations and commitments in life. And that’s fine, to a degree. Sometimes these obligations and commitments help us get things done. Other times, it’s just all too much.

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 […]

Relaxing Weekend?

Posted on August 18, 2013October 24, 2013by Vanessa Smith

It’s the middle of Sunday afternoon.   This is my weekend to do nothing. Only…   Yesterday I was up at 4.40am for a garage sale. The garage sale went from 7-12. Then we spent just under three hours clearing … Continue reading →

Bright Monday – Jacket Edition

Posted on August 5, 2013September 7, 2018by Vanessa Smith

If you saw my tweets on the weekend, I went on a long (which is more than 2 stores for me) shopping quest for a jacket on Saturday.   I’m very picky when it comes to jackets (as you may have seen by my tweets bitching about lack of pockets). Naturally, at my last stop, […]

I don’t really know if I slept Sunday night. I think I was asleep, but I tossed and turned. A lot. When I woke up Monday morning, I’d managed to remove most of the fitted sheet from my bed.   … Continue reading →
