#16 Way to Live – Know your boundaries.
by Eva Wynne
I have limits. That place where I draw-the-line. Tupperware, specifically The Tupperware Party. I’m not 100 per cent sure why I feel so strongly about this – it’s no fault of the product. On balance, I say yes to secure and durable food storage. I’m certainly pro stackable anything. And yet… This is part of my 101 Ways to Live series (follow the link to read … Read More #16 Way to Live – Know your boundaries.
Capturing the person – by email
by Eva Wynne
Email has its limitations. It is a convenient way of keeping in touch, particularly when travelling but for most it lacks the nuance of a face-to-face, hearing someone’s voice or even a letter or postcard. Many emails are rendered flat and homogenised as we autopilot into an approximation of proper written English. With email being much easier to edit than snail-mail it’s easier to edit the liveliness … Read More Capturing the person – by email
Grow to your strengths
by Eva Wynne
I am a serial killer… Of plants that is. It’s most definitely not a deliberate choice. On the contrary, I love the idea of a green haven of blossoming plants. I just can’t seem to achieve it, and it’s not for the want of trying either. So, you can imagine my shock when I opened my door to a friend bearing this lovely healthy … Read More Grow to your strengths
Legendary Notebook used by artists and thinkers…
by Eva Wynne
I’m rather partial to a great notebook. A number of my friends have included their moleskin’s as don’t-leave-home-without-it. So I can imagine the Moleskin app for iPhone’s is going to be very popular. Moleskin is inspired by the humble black notebook used by a swathe of sparkling geniuses of the 19th and 20th century. This modest notebook captured the ideas and stories of the likes … Read More Legendary Notebook used by artists and thinkers…

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

Love and Breakfast Exhibition Opening
by Eva Wynne
I had the pleasure of being invited to the genuine (champagne) gallery exhibition opening of an artist friend. She was opening at an artists cooperative in Chinderah. Unfortunately I was too sick to go, which I really regret. Not just because I love to go and show support of young artists. But this was an important occasion for my friend and I very much … Read More Love and Breakfast Exhibition Opening
Inbox surprise — with friends like these…
by Eva Wynne
The above picture was sent to me by a friend. It was a little surprise in an otherwise average week. The email came with the following message, If you think guys with cats are hot how do you feel about John Lennon with a Siamese??? You know what it totally worked! You see I was feeling a little subdued, (less said the better). Receiving this … Read More Inbox surprise — with friends like these…
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
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
