Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat
In the middle of winter, I headed back to Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat on the Gold Coast for another seven-day detox. It had been a rough couple of months and mum and I headed off for a week of healthy food, soul nurturing and a dose of the great outdoors. My first visit was last Easter […]
MoreI was bitten by a zebra
A couple of weeks ago I was bitten by a zebra. An ACTUAL zebra. I mean who, other than perhaps a zookeeper, does that actually happen to? Bitten by a dog or a cat or even a bull ant, sure … but a zebra? WTF. I read a quote the other day that said: “Some people […]

MoreScreaming for ice cream
Last week I had a dream come true; I opened my front door to a delivery of free ice cream! Two tubs each of Harry’s Ice Cream Co‘s premium Peanut Butter Fudge, Sticky Date and Triple Choc Brownie. Shockingly, I wasn’t aware of the fact that July is International Ice Cream Month, but apparently it started […]
