I’ll get to the fitness gear review that today’s post alludes to in a minute but first things first.  Food news. The veal and chorizo sausage roll ($19) at The Winery is a sausage roll as its best possible self, in my opinion.  Run, don’t walk. On the other end of the food healthiness spectrum (or…

There are those days where the most sensible course of action to take when they end is to sit yourself in your car with a sneaky bottle of whatever beverage you really shouldn’t be drinking and have a bit of a solo debrief.  A few cycles of deep breathing, a simple mindfulness task (Denyse shared…

Balmain is a little peninsula of Sydney’s Inner West that will always have a piece of my heart. Its skyline of beautifully restored terraces, its winding and sloping streets, the laid back sheen of both luxe and quirkiness that its residents exude. It makes for a heady mix. It defies categories and stereotypes. Boho luxe,…

The award for most embarrassing call to IT went to me last week. Turns out that this socket marked ‘HEADSET’ is meant for actual headsets and if you plug the handset into the headset hole you have the problem of being able to make calls and hear the caller only to have them not able…

‘There’s a time and a place for everything.’ A saying I’ve grown to love. ‘You can have it all, just not all at the same time’ The words of Betty Friedan that I’ve grown to accept. I don’t know if it counts as a regret but I wish I’d learned earlier in life that the…

Why hello, Friday.   It’s been quite a week and I can hardly believe that you’re finally here.  That and the fact that it’s.. gulp .. eighty days until Christmas.  How did that even happen?   I’ve got so many things to sort out before then. Preschool photo week is coming up and it wasn’t actually…

It’s no secret that I love T2’s Peppermint Tea.  Unfortunately, if you’re as big a fan as I, you’ll already know that it’s been out of stock for weeks now.  So I was forced to try Twinings’ version as an (okay.. just) substitute.  But not before I was down to my last T2 teabag and had…

At least it wasn’t fruit mince pies.  That I started my Christmas shopping with this first weekend of October just gone. I was roaming the aisles of Target on Monday in that way you (I) do when you’ve had to work a public holiday and find yourself a bit jetlagged at the end of it.…

So much to discuss this week. First up, a bit of a drugstore beauty find.  One that I didn’t really expect to love as much as I now do.  Maybelline have this thing they call Tatto Brow Gel Tint.  It has a RRP of $24.95 but with recent sales at the major retailers, people have…

Hands up if you remember this logo from your childhood? www.jumbonote.com.au It’s only just now that I’ve realized that the circular half of the logo is a stylized image of Australia in white with a black background and the 5 lined musical staff running through it (all the states bar Tasmania from my reckoning).  In…
