Chocolate Coffee. Christmas Lights. An OBE Recipient.
Every so often, my Facebook feed brings up a sponsored post that I’m actually quite happy to find. In between the passive aggressive suggestions on how to lose belly fat fast and the invitations to lose 20 years from my face and be mistaken for my daughter, that is. Moccona recently ran a campaign inviting…

It’s December!!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…. It doesn’t matter what the rest of the year’s been like but the lead up to Christmas never fails to soften my heart to whatever it is that’s been the bane of my existence for the previous eleven months of the year. December 1 is that magical date…

Christmas in the CBD. Festive Preparations Begin.
I had my morning coffee amongst the neatly folded shirts in the CBD yesterday. It was a much needed caffeine hit after surviving the morning peak hour on the Anzac Bridge, then the cross city tunnel and finally a sharp right turn into Rushcutter’s Bay to drop off the car. I have nothing but good…

A Step Back In Time.
It’s hump day, it’s already been a long week. Do I need any more reason to reference the sisters Minogue in today’s post? www.idolator.com Guess who’s replacing Delta on The Voice Australia? The new judging panel was announced earlier this week and Kylie is to be one of the mentors. Will.I.Am will…

Dolls at the Pool. New Cereal.
Things are just a little different at the pool, mid morning on a weekday. The early morning squad trainers and fitness swimmers are done for the day. The lap pools are cordoned off for swim school lessons and the aquarobics ladies are refuelling with their coffees and home made biscuits. Over at the kiosk overlooking…

Makeup Heirs and Spares. Yoga at Home.
Let’s get straight down to business, shall we? Priceline’s currently having their 2 day beauty and cosmetics sale. 40% off everything beauty (except accessories) online and in store. The sale started yesterday and continues today. I am such a huge fan of the Maybelline pencil eyeliners that I bought an heir and a spare of…

Lucky Bamboo. Christmas Drinks.
Greetings, from my desk to yours. Being a Monday, I’m sending bonus good fortune, fortitude and resilience courtesy of this lucky bamboo that found its way to my desk. Technically, lucky bamboos aren’t actually bamboo and apparently the complicated shapes that some of the plants are trained to grown into are achieved by rotating…

In the Sun and Around the House.
Well, how good are things UV wise in Sydney at the moment? Very comfortable silver flats from Paul Green obtained from a spendy nonna shoe store whose name escapes me. It’s been consecutive days now that I’ve felt the sun on my arms and legs. Dress – Target, necklaces – Red Phoenix Emporium. Colour…
