Cat Power Brings It to Brisbane
by Eva Wynne
Cat Power played Brisbane’s Tivoli Theatre last night. It was awesome. I’m never sure if music I fell in love with in the 90s converts to today but I can tell you this Cat Power translates – with amazingly fragile raw soulfulness. Having heard tales of her rather mercurial performances, I did spend the first 5 minutes reassuring myself all items of clothing were securely attached … Read More Cat Power Brings It to Brisbane
Brisbane – Festival City
by Eva Wynne
September in Brisbane is always interesting. I love it because it means Summer is on it’s way – and I am rather fond of a good summer. A pervasive spirit of excitement and anticipation starts to infect all human exchanges – people are outdoors more, socialising more, smiling more. And for the month of September there’s plenty to see and do because Brisbane. Becomes. … Read More Brisbane – Festival City
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

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

#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
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…

#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
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
