Chick Flick Movie Marathon
by Eva Wynne
I recently held a girls movie marathon. It was part of my Youthful New Year campaign where I committed to throw 10 parties in 2011. I previously posted about the movie marathon in the post, Chick Flick Bonanza,which might be useful if you’d like to host your own chick flick marathon. Here is the promised Ultimate Chick Flick catalogue. I am not saying this … Read More Chick Flick Movie Marathon
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

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.

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
Brunching with the girls
by Eva Wynne
I met the girls for Brunch this Sunday. It was a casual affair, with friends coming and going as you please. Now, I’m not, nor have I ever been, a morning person. But when it comes to a leisurely brunch with good coffee and great friends I’m powerless to resist. I love cradling my coffee in both hands – gripping the cup tightly. Feeling the warmth … Read More Brunching with the girls
The Adjustment Bureau
by Eva Wynne
I shared a saturday night novelty with one of my closest friends. Date night. For Friends. Our plans? Dinner and a movie. I know, standard fare. General catch up over sushi proceeded our viewing of The Adjustment Bureau. The film is credited as an adaptation of the graphic novel, “The Adjustment Team” by Philip K Dick, which I would now like to read. There … Read More The Adjustment Bureau
101 Ways to Live
by Eva Wynne
A good friend of mine on hearing about my pursuit to reconnect to the pleasures of life sent me a list of 101 Ways to Live. In it she listed those small things that give her pleasure, reconnect her to her goals and remind her of her own value in life. It was a beautiful gesture to share these personal motivators. She is a … Read More 101 Ways to Live
A Family Affair
by Eva Wynne
Dinner for Five at Six. That’s right as part of my “Youthful New Year” campaign posted earlier this year I deigned to throw 10 Parties in 2011. For my first big adventure I organised a dinner party, something simple and classy was my initial plan. And why not invite, quite possibly my toughest audience. Yes, you’re quite right I organised a dinner party for my family: 4 … Read More A Family Affair
We don’t pay collectively
by Eva Wynne
Every month I have a standing date with the girls. It’s my societal equivilent to the family Sunday dinner… except of course we’re brought together by choice. Needless to say, I love the second sunday of the month. What’s not for me to love – where ever we congregate there’s always lashings of conversation, stories and laughs. The hours just slip-slip on by. And … Read More We don’t pay collectively
Eat Pray Love
by Eva Wynne
My individuality took a hit over the weekend. I went to see Eat Pray Love, like just about every other woman in Australia, hell maybe the Western World. The cinema was packed full (staff had to come out and ask everyone to move along to take up every available seat in the cinema) in what could only be described as a market segmenters dream. For me, … Read More Eat Pray Love
IPhone is Ruining my Life
by Eva Wynne
You might rightly ask: why iPhone is ruining my life? Before I stir up the contentious debates of iPhone v Android. A highly contentious issue (apparently). One that rivals the great Holden v Ford emnity of generations past. I’m definitely a fan of anything that is a genuine productivity tool, making my job/life easier. I’m also an avid user of technology and very appreciative … Read More IPhone is Ruining my Life
