What I Wore This Week
Last week kicked off with a day of hair modelling for my hairdresser, Elle, of Subiaco Hair in Ascot. It was hair, makeup, lights and action as I was given a long curly mane to flick around. Monday | Witchery tee | Cotton On shorts | Hair by Subiaco Hair | Make up by Carla […]

Recipe: Maple honey mustard glazed ham
A couple of Christmases ago, I set myself a challenge … to glaze a ham. No mean feat, I admit, but I’m the person who lives mostly on English muffins and toasted cheese sandwiches, so it wasn’t likely to be the simplest of tasks. It became a kind of Christmas by the kids, with my […]

Guess who launched a YouTube channel?
While my friends are getting married and having babies, I took the leap and committed to having my own YouTube channel. It’s true; you can now enjoy all the glory of my awkward on-screen stuttering any time you like and yes, it is REALLY surprising that I didn’t pursue a career on TV. There’s already a bunch of videos up […]

The view from the top
They said it wouldn’t last; that once it was mine, I’d stopped seeing how wonderful it was. They were wrong. It’s been 12 months today since I moved into my amazing sky-high apartment overlooking Brisbane’s CBD, and I’m still in love. I’m not sure I explained how I came to swap my two bedroom, two bathroom digs […]
MorePeppers Salt Resort & Spa, Kingscliff
Last year, I decided to take myself to Kingscliff for a mini-break to ring in the New Year. Spending New Years’ Eve alone may seem like a strange decision but there wasn’t much happening in Brisbane and I thought it would be nice to start the year with a swim in the ocean. Keen to skip the usual holiday hot spots […]

Among the authors are James Belushi, Kathleen Turner, James Franco, Jodi Picoult, Alan Cumming, Danni Minogue and Hugh Jackman and it started me thinking about what I would say to […]

A sneak peek at the Suited to Success sale
Australia is known as the lucky country; a country where women have the right to vote, to lead the government and to receive equal pay to our male counterparts. Yet there are more than 350,000 Australian women currently registered as ‘looking for work’. They come from all walks of life; they are in their early […]
MoreGwinganna 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 […]
