Wining + Dining with Lil’Sis
Lil’Sis is departing to Japan for, among other things, the Cherry Blossoms. Seeing any of my loved ones embarking on fabulous journey’s is always a bitter-sweet experience. Naturally I’m thrilled — but can’t seem to help the occasional pang of envy either. A cosy Bon Voyage dinner was just the ticket for me! Maintaining the international flavour Lil’Sis picked French Martini at Brisbane’s South … Read More Wining + Dining with Lil’Sis
Asserting a life apart from work
When I first started writing, it was an attempt to remember to live. That I had values and beliefs that weren’t informed by ROI or tactical advantage and I am not defined by profit/loss ratios. There are some things I do love, just because. Lately, I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. A regression, if you will, in attitude. I’m still making sure I explore the social and … Read More Asserting a life apart from work
#9 Way to Live – Never Say Never
Never say Never. Full Stop. Unless it’s to leather pants… then it’s negotiable under advisement. This is part of my 101 Ways to Live series (follow the link to read the original post).
Brisbane get’s A Locals Guide
I am currently in love with creative idea’s agency, MAP magazine’s new app – A Local’s Guide. What I love is the app builds a community around what is great to see and do in Brisbane. For example, want to see what local’s have recommended for Brunch? Try the french toast breakfast from Au Cirque (it’s delightful!) or see the Mondo Organic’s breakfast cocktail … Read More Brisbane get’s A Locals Guide
Fashion meets Decor

#8 Way to Live – There’s a place for Champagne
But that is not on a plane. To me, there is no more legitimate symbol of (and for) celebration than popping the cork on a bottle of champagne. So, you can imagine with the rise of budget airlines that encourage self-catering you may at some point be tempted to celebrate that anniversary holiday, overseas vacation or other fabulous reason for boarding a plane, such as … Read More #8 Way to Live – There’s a place for Champagne
Chick Flick Bonanza
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
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

#7 Way to Live – Physics is inescapable
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
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

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
