Chick Flick Bonanza
by Eva Wynne
As part of my “Youthful New Year” campaign I set about planning the ultimate girls weekend movie marathon. Invite some friends round, play some movies. What could be simpler right? There is a whole host of chick-flicks to choose from, almost too many to make sense of and I’m promising the ultimate experience. I’m starting to feel the pressure. The idea is to be … Read More Chick Flick Bonanza
Lovin and Livin… still
by Eva Wynne
Haphazard. That’s my posting schedule. Fortunately I have a patient audience! Thank you. If it’s of any consolation at all I have been a busy little bee! I’ve been living the mantra of my blog – even if I’ve neglected to keep you updated. Having taken a moment to catch my breath I’m feeling a little recharged and re-focused. Am I still a an … Read More Lovin and Livin… still

Brisbane Writers Festival
by Eva Wynne
I’m so excited about the upcoming Brisbane Writers Festival! Starting on 7th September, the festival includes a range of guest speakers and workshops. Last years festival was great – I got to see Norman Doidge, of The Brain That Changes Itself fame. The whole day was a great vibe. This year?!? Again there’s lots to look forward. You can see the writers festival program … Read More Brisbane Writers Festival

Brisbane Winter Festival
by Eva Wynne
We’re celebrating winter big-time this year in Brisbane. An authentic cold-snap is well underway in the city. Personally, I’ve always laughed at Brisbane’s winter – it brings out the ridiculous from residents. It’s the only city I’ve been to (and I’ve travelled) where you can sit at a sidewalk cafe with someone beside you in an outfit straight from a ski village and seated opposite someone in shorts … Read More Brisbane Winter Festival

#7 Way to Live – Physics is inescapable
by Eva Wynne
Now I’ve said it out-loud it sounds ridiculous. Of course the physical laws are inescapable. But for some reason I continually challenge the essence of Newton’s 3rd law of forces; “that every action has an equal and corresponding reaction.” Never is this more acutely felt when having to use a plunger on a drain that’s recently imbibed bubblebath. And yes, I’m aware Sir Isaac … Read More #7 Way to Live – Physics is inescapable

#6 Way to Live
by Eva Wynne
Don’t forsake spending time in the company of friends. When you see someone you know face-to-face your body releases ‘happy’ chemicals. There are a myriad of useful ways to keep in touch with our loved ones, and they really are useful. But (and we all hate a big but!) they do often fail to produce the same beneficial physiological responses that face- to-face interaction provides. Plus there really … Read More #6 Way to Live

#5 Way to Live

I can’t say this enough — fortunately for me I no longer have to because someone’s obviously felt passionate enough about it to register it as an domain name… But, Tights Are NOT Pants. This is part of my 101 Ways to Live series (follow the link to read the original post). True, this may not be one of those things that heighten my appreciation … Read More #5 Way to Live

#4 Way to Live
by Eva Wynne
In the time it takes, and the emotional energy expended to think about doing the right thing you likely could have completed the task. This is part of my 101 Ways to Live series (follow the link to read the original post). In today’s busy world being time-poor has become the new black. Everyone seems to be busy being busy. For those who are business-minded … Read More #4 Way to Live

Life
by Eva Wynne
It happens. In fact it’s been happening to me. Hence the rather haphazard attention given to my blog. I have, if it’s any consolation ( yes I’m sure you were devastated in my absence), been super busily visiting art galleries, viewing exhibitions, eating out and socialising so make no mistake there’s to be a flurry of activity on this blog – including a couple … Read More Life

#3 Way to Live

When someone tells you the universe is responsible for some event, whether that be positive or negative; carefully and thoughtfully visualise the speakers head imploding. This is part of my 101 Ways to Live series (follow the link to read the original post).

#1 Way to Live
by Eva Wynne
Candles from MOR Candles and Tea Lights. Have them. Use them. My most indulgent candles come from MOR and they are divinity alight. This is part of my 101 Ways to Live series (follow the link to read the original post). In today’s modern age of abundant electricity, lighting a candle has become an indulgence. Candles have been linked with hope, ritual, romance and triumph of illumination. … Read More #1 Way to Live
