    on wednesdays we drink pink

    As I write this, I’m sipping on a glass of pink Cuvee Brut Rose, ‘Goody Two Shoes’, from a bottle J bought and had delivered to my place. It’s pink. It’s ‘Awesome Wednesday’. And it’s delicious. Speaking of all things pink, reportedly a new study led by the Centre for Nutraceuticals in the University of […]

    curating champagne celebrations

    I’ve just finished re-watching watching the entire series (that’s right, all six seasons) of the 90s-00s cult classic, Sex And The City aka SATC. While back in the day, I may have watched an episode here and there, admittedly (and I know, this will come as a shock to all the 90s-00s gals out there) […]

    a little less glam with a sprinkle of glum

    And that’s a wrap for the 93rd Academy Awards – Oscars 2021. What promised to be a glitzy, star-studded event where “sunglasses may be required” was a little underwhelming in the end. “In keeping with our awards-show-as-a-movie approach, we’ve assembled a truly stellar cast of stars,” show producers, Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh […]

    At work the other day we were talking about The 5 Love Languages. It stemmed from me excitedly anticipating a package I was expecting from J, which was due to be delivered to my unit that day. The package from J would be waiting for me at home and when I eagerly brought it up […]

    a lesson in French

    a lesson in French

    I’ve recently discovered an old French saying: “Ça doit faire mal pour être belle”, which translates to, “It’s got to hurt to be beautiful”. French style, from what I’ve recently learnt, is all about making something that takes effort – and that may hurt and be uncomfortable at times – look, well, completely effortless. Right. […]

    Reading an article in Elle Australia, the late Princess Diana, ‘The People’s Princess’, may have passed away more than 20 years ago, but her style and her legacy remain firmly in the limelight, particularly following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s controversial interview with Oprah and then the suspiciously-timely revelation about the Mother’s Day cards Prince […]

    While we’re all consumed by the battle against Covid-19 many of us may not realise that there is another crisis happening at the moment.

    It has been just over a year since Covid-19 was declared a global health emergency – a pandemic – and since then the world has grappled with this insidious virus and rushed to develop a vaccine that would put an end to this nightmare, restoring some semblance of normal.
