We’ve made it to Christmas Eve!!!!!! Yes, even me.  The person who started Friday morning having to wear my white T-shirt back to front for a day at work because I had somehow managed to pour coffee down my front twice before 8.30am….. Hopefully, you’re also on the tail end of things at work (if…

Five things I’ve loved about life this week: 1.     Mi Goreng for Dinner. It’s the ultimate lazy dinner / comfort food.  With lots of Asian greens and a couple of baked drumsticks. 2.     Operation PJs from Cotton On Kids. Currently one of Master SSG’s favourite board games, ‘Operation’ PJ sets are now available…

It finally started feeling like Christmas today.  Up until now I’ve felt that I was merely caught up in the motions of shopping, event attending and advent calendar window opening.   This morning was different.  I put my Apple Music ‘Essential Christmas’ playlist through the car sound system as we drove to Christmas lunch with some of…

This is how Christmas has been looking for me. The big tree is up in the square where all the fancy stores are across the road.  Its glitter and sparkle catches my eye as I get into the zone for the final kilometres towards home on my runs in the morning. It’s full school Christmas…

I’m pretty sure summer is coming back to Sydney – soonish. It has to primarily because my Andie Swim order just arrived and I’m hell-bent on wearing it to the beach over my break in January.  Andie was founded in 2017 by Melanie Travis whose mission was to create swimwear for women with ‘real bodies’ and…

This week I’m loving the following five things about life: 1.  Empty hangers.    I was ruthless with my wardrobe culling efforts this week.  My wardrobe looks much less crowded and it’s actually liberating having fewer things to choose from each day. 2.  Country Road.   It’s been decades since I’ve shopped there.  They lost me…

The golden days of summer have arrived. The days begin with daybreak over a kind of stage filled with possibilities.  A day on the water in your boat, walking languidly on the jetty, bobbing along in your favourite orange inflatable pool toy…. But of course, don’t forget the sunscreen on your way out.  This SPF…

Disclaimer: they’re mostly not about Christmas.  Without further ado… the snaps that were. A freshly chilled towel from the gym’s vending machine because I forgot to bring my own from home.  I don’t think it was intentionally sold as a chilled towel but it was in the same machine as the pre-mixed protein shakes and I…

Christmas transforms the CBD.  It’s still crowded and stop-start as a pedestrian but there’s a little something in the air come December that seems to soften its heart and add some sparkle to its eyes. Town Hall Station was festooned with green and red lights.  I was too busy keeping up with my little Santa…

The weekend just gone was very special to me. It was, of course, the first weekend of December.  Where the weather is always perfect on the Saturday.   And you’ve woken up to embrace it with a run after spending the night before dressed up in a Camilla kaftan reimagined as a shrug (thanks to a…
