Wholebean Instant. Ikea in the Workplace.
These are exciting times in the world of instant coffee. Perhaps it’s a consequence of how coffee pods have filtered into supermarket and chain store shelves which in turn has seen many of us turn our back on the age old tradition of dumping tablespoons of brown granules into a random mug full of boiling…

Garnier’s BB, Sparkling Cranberries and Hermes for iPhones.
I’m calling this photo ‘a change is as good as a holiday’. How fortuitous was it that I took a photo of my new BB creams on top of the suitcase I was meant to be putting away? My excuse for blogging a second impulse makeup purchase in as many days is that I’ve managed…

Hello Suburbia, Goodbye Inner City.
I’ve only been back at work for a fortnight and I’m already saying it. Gee, the weekends get away from me these days. I’m sitting here at 5pm for a late afternoon tea – steaming cup of tea to the left of me and a couple of quadruple chocolate brownies to the right of me.…

Grease is the Word.
It’s not everyday you get invited to a media call at the Lyric theatre. Grease is the Word (aka The Number One Party Musical) has just opened its two month season at the Lyric and it officially opened last night. Image from pinterest I was very tempted to dress up as my favourite character (biker…

Milk In the Workplace. Tops For Work.
It almost makes you excited for the start of the working day, doesn’t it? When the morning sun shines at your feet just so. It makes opening the gate to the rest of the day less onerous than it otherwise might have been. Since returning to Sydney, I’ve been on jacaranda watch…

The Weeknight Book Club: ‘A Tale for the Time Being’ by Ruth Ozeki.
It’s not every day that the words ‘Man Booker Shortlist’ follow the title of books I review on this blog. My excuse is that I’m in a page turner, light entertainment phase of my reading life. In my short time as a mother, I’ve figured out that it’s much easier to combine reading a Kindle…

Hemp, Keratin and Cocobella.
It’s the time of the year to start getting excited about fruit. Stone fruit and strawberries are starting to make an appearance at the supermarket, at reasonable prices and before long it’ll be cherries. Endless bowls of cherries are one of the highlights of summer for me. In the meantime, I’ve been eating my body…

Nocturnal Noodles. Shorts For All.
You haven’t truly celebrated Good Food Month in Sydney until you’ve made the trek to Hyde Park for the weekend Night Noodle Market. The market has gone from strength to strength over the time I’ve lived here. More and more of the big names in Sydney’s Asian food scene join the market each year and…

Still Loving the Weather. Sportsgirl Revisited.
The weather can’t put a (bare) foot wrong these days, can it? The mornings manage to be both sunny and cool, perfect for outdoor running in and around Central Station. It’s a bit special being able to include this glorious building on my route. I love running through the arched…

Snailovation. SBS On A Thursday Night.
Let’s begin today with the glories of this time of the year. The extra long days thanks to daylight saving mean that you can spend a weekday afternoon at the pool getting in some exercise and some incidental sun exposure that’s just happened to result in a bit of a tan.…
