You know the ones I’m talking about. You wake up in the morning and smash your thigh into the end of your bed. The milk comes crashing out of the fridge and spills all over the floor. You’re 15 minutes late from cleaning up the spill. Everything fell into a quivering mess because you dared to take the day off the day before. You spend all day correcting mistakes, putting out fires and cajoling people. Read the rest!

Every single time I go on Pinterest I end up in a weird terrarium rabbit hole. I love them. They look like miniature fairy gardens and as a little girl who was raised in a pre-internet era, I spent many hours building tiny mystical lands in shoe boxes with off cuts from my mother’s plants and Glad Bag ponds. After wasting another 2 hours looking at pictures of terrariums, I figured it was time to make my own. Read the rest!

I’m a bit of an iPhone photography addict and since I’ve been participating in Fat Mum Slim’s Photo A Day Challenge I’ve been regularly cruising the photography section in the app store trying to get my hands on the next hottest thing before it becomes mainstream. I’m just so current like that. I generally post about 1 to 3 Instagram photos per day (because everyone is so interested i Read the rest!

She’s got me all excited about paper craft again, so much so that I spent an  un-healthy amount of time searching the interwebs for paper projects. These are on my list of awesome things to make.

  Match the colour of your handbag to your shoes and belt. How quaint.   Wear Chanel No. 5 – the signature fragrance of Marilyn Monroe created in 1921. She wore it to bed… and nothing else.   Drink whisky with ice and paint your fingernails and lips blood red.     Wear as many bangles that will fit on your wrist and carry a clutch bag. A delicious beaded one with nothing more Read the rest!

Love is so inconvenient. I’d know. I fell in love with an 18-year-old when I was 22 and we’ve quite casually and completely accidentally been together for 6 whole years. Fuck knows how that happened, I was supposed to spend the last six years on boats in Greece getting lots of hairy cock and STDs but as fate would have it, here I am, living in domestic bliss with a man who still gives me tingles in my n Read the rest!

This is the time of year when you will get photographed continuously. It’s also the time of year when most of us are sporting extra podge and/or sunburn. Here are a few tips that I like to keep in mind around those sneaky Chrissy morning snappers. * Always pose. There’s nothing worse than a picture of you all hunch backed and double chinned, glugging back a cocktail with your eyes half-shut. Just be a Read the rest!
