Of Toothpaste and Toothbrushes.
I’ve been pondering doing something about the colour of my teeth for quite some time now. Celebrity worthy perfect white teeth sound great in theory but the maintenance required is right up there with keeping your hair that shade of Bergdorf blonde. Frequent trips to the dentist (for the teeth), care with the foods you…

Team Hazelnut.
I’ve found instant coffee love. Hazelnut Moccona, how I love you. Let me count the ways. You’re like toothpicks for my eyelids, only less painful. You’ve single handedly (and deliciously) kept me awake since my 2am wake up call. You smell so good first thing in the morning. It’s so much more satisfying sipping at…

Senseless Loss.
www.foxsports.com.au It doesn’t seem right to be blogging today without acknowledging the Boston Marathon explosions that occurred at around 5am Sydney time today. As each day passes, it seems that we are fighting a losing battle in keeping innocent and peaceful those things that in another time we would have never have even thought to…

Pimped Up Brownies. A Rebel Fix.
When the skies are grey and there’s no chance of the laundry drying on the line anytime soon, there’s only one thing to do. Bake. With large amounts of chocolate and butter. With my Lurpak brownie tin and blocks of butter from yesterday’s successful mission ready to go, the logical thing to bake…

The Quest For Lurpak Brownie Tins and Ikea Paper Napery.
Well played, Adam Scott! Congratulations on being the first Australian ever to win the US Masters. www.brisbanetimes.com.au Even I could sense the tension as the final holes were played. And I don’t know any of the rules of golf. My achievement for the day didn’t involve quite as much hand eye coordination as Adam’s…

Saturday Sun.
There’s no other word for today’s weather but spectacular. No matter where you were in Sydney today, you were looking out at the world under a brilliant blue sky. There was was just enough of all the good stuff (sunshine, sea breeze and warmth) and none of the things that would seriously cramp…

Celebrity Facial Confusion. DIY Hair. Saving.
Despite the fact that her name was in both the spine of the magazine and on the cover, a few centimetres away from her face, I was stil having trouble joining the dots this morning. Then again it could have been my sleep deprivation or the fact that I needed coffee rather than tea…

Photos and Apps Of Interest.
If there’s a photo that’s guaranteed to give you a mid week chuckle, it would have to be this. www.screencrush.com John Goodman in character for his role in the forthcoming Hangover movie. Even if you’re not a fan of the series, doesn’t John look like he’s having a ball on set? A hint of tan,…

Ruby Reds. Top of the Lake.
Oh happy days! Ruby red grapefruit is back at the supermarket. Topped with a little sugar, they’re my favourite breakfast fruit. Their colour and tart citrus taste are the perfect way to kick start a wintry day. I’ve had New Zealand on my mind a fair bit in the last few weeks. Mr SSG and…

Monday Appropriate Bubbles. Kevin Endorsed Tea.
The mid morning sun is so beautiful at this time of the year. It has a soft, blurred edge to its rays yet it radiates a powerful warmth when filtered through windows. I couldn’t think of a nicer place to warm my toes on a Monday morning. www.news.com.au I know is was…
