    the tales of the marsh girl

    the tales of the marsh girl

    “Instead, we labelled and rejected her because we thought she was different. But, ladies and gentlemen, did we exclude Miss Clark because she was different, or was she different because we excluded?” Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing That’s the quote that stopped me in my tracks, reading New York Times best seller, Delia Owens’ […]

    mirror, mirror

    Trigger warning: this post may be a trigger to those suffering from body image issues or body dysmorphic disorder. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a warm spring morning, last year. I was in my little unit in Brisbane getting ready for the day ahead. Working from home that day, I sat […]

    she said … there’s a release date

    Something exciting landed in my Messenger inbox this week. I was watching the second season of Physical (starring Rose Byrne on Apple TV+) one afternoon when a notification popped up on my iPhone. It was a message from a good friend, with a link to the first official She Said trailer, which immediately got my […]

OK. Sure. […]

    a tale of snobby pigeons …

    France was magnifique. Aside from the pigeons in Paris (more on that in a moment) – France has swept me off my feet. And not just because we literally had to put our feet up each night from all the walking we were doing. Bretagne (or Brittany), Rennes (Bretagne’s capital city), Saint-Malo (a port city […]

    move over emily … gosia is coming to paris!

    Pinch. Me. J and I are jetting off to France. FRANCE. TONIGHT! Oh, PUTAIN! It’s actually happening. I am beyond excited. Not gonna lie … also excited about having that glass of champagne when we get to the airport. The only thing is: The busyness of moving to a new country + juggling work and […]

    when the Oscars come to town

    Roll out the red carpet, get that lipstick out and put on your Sunday best … the 94th Academy Awards (aka the Oscars) are in town and, well, let’s hope this year’s event is a little more glam and a lot less glum. *cough* looking at you, 2021 Oscars *cough* In what will be a […]

    i love bookstores

    I won’t be in West End that much longer. Mainly due to upcoming travel. Firstly, to Melbourne – my nephew’s first birthday.   And then across international borders, to places I never imagined I would visit – to join my husband while he’s there for work. So, today, a typically muggy Queensland summer Sunday, after […]

    J and I are official – Mr & Mrs.   That’s right, we’re officially married. Pinch. Me. It has been an absolute whirlwind month since we got him across the Queensland border (legally, of course, with all required tests and documents in place) at the beginning of December when they started quarantining entire flights shortly […]

    circular quay gets a little more french

    Oh, how I wish this was happening in Brisbane. As first spotted popping up on my Insta news feed this afternoon, it turns out that Sydney is about to get its very own, authentic “French Christmas market”. From 17-20 December, Sydneysiders will get to experience French Chalets, melted cheese stations, French crepes, French wines, mulled […]

    wedding bells are ringing

    Here’s a little question for you all: Is it possible to plan your wedding(s) in less than 3 months? Now, I say ‘weddings’ (plural) because J and I are taking our wedding ‘Le Tour’ on the road effectively … more on that later. A quick little backtrack. Before I write about the wedding plans – […]

Legendary Aussie swimmer, Chloë McCardel has successfully completed her 44th swim of the English Channel, setting a new world record for number of […]

    do fitness challenges actually work?

    Raise your hand if you’ve thought about going on a health kick or starting a fitness challenge leading into summer? With a few important life events coming up in the next couple of months, I know I have. This got me thinking: do fitness challenges actually work? The idea of being able to make major […]

    the importance of purpose-led businesses

    With everything going on in some parts of the country at the moment (specifically Vic and NSW it would seem) – storms, earthquakes, reports of tornados – you’d be forgiven for thinking that we’re living in apocalyptic times. It’s clear that the environment and nature is hurting and that the effects of climate change are […]

    how to keep your makeup tools clean

    The other day, watching a makeup tutorial live stream with Patrycja Dobrzeniecka on Instagram by Vogue Polska it got me thinking: how do you keep your makeup brushes clean? As someone who is a lot more au naturale than makeup heavy – largely because I have super sensitive skin and most products (other than certain […]

That we “have a huge grasp on most areas, with an amazing ability to know a little about a lot”. In fact, our “secret superpower” is that we’re “Google in human form”. With […]

    we need to talk about boobs

    For the second month in a row, I’ve felt some pain in my left boob leading into my period. The first time I noticed it, I got worried, yes, but I thought: “OK well, I don’t feel a bump as such. So, let’s just see what happens. If it goes away and never comes back […]
