It is that time of the year- Fashion Revolution week. The week where we ask "who made my clothes?". It is the week to raise awareness and have an open discussion with brands to become more conscious and purposeful in their production and marketing of their clothes. To ask the questions about who exactly made …
Last Flowers Before Winter We've been having such great autumn weather lately. Pale blue skies with a gorgeous sunset of shades of orange and pink. I'm sharing here some last flowers before winter that I've captured on my walks. I see a running theme here of purple- a colour that I don't usually associate with …
I've recently been on a decluttering journey. The most recent was my make up. After a year of not going anywhere, I was sure that there were some tubes that would need to go. Make up doesn't have a very long shelf life but yet it's so easy to buy multiple shades of items or …
Following on from the recount of my time in Mexico (last stop Guadalajara), the next stop on our Mexican adventures was to a pueblo blanco Patzcuaro.

One humble evening in October 2020, I decided to go and get Maccas (or McDonalds) for dinner. Little did I know that this humble evening would lead me to the tallest building in Sydney. Maccas were running their annual monopoly game where eligible purchases means you get ticket stubs where you can potentially win free …
We've received that gentle nudge to return back to the office a few days a week. I started my current role after the pandemic started so have only met my desk in recent weeks. It's a room with glaring white overhead lights and a tinted window that looks out to another building's wall. If bend …
