Conversations With… Danielle Walker
When my fiancé and I arrived in Brisbane, we realised that it was Brisbane Comedy Festival and decided to attend. The only issue was that, being from England and not knowing the Australian comedy scene at all, we didn’t really know who was on the lineup. Our scientific method of picking whose show to see…

Monday Musings – what do you have to smile about this week?
Is there only one thing to smile about or more? Is it a selfless or a selfish act? Are you excited for it? Does the event happen every week or is it a one off? How does it feel to smile? How many times a day do you think you smile? Do you wish you…

Conversations With… Ify Obanye
When I first got the idea for the interview section of this blog, I knew I wanted to share stories from people who I looked up to and admired for their self belief, ambition and for being true to them self no matter what. In an age of self doubt and fear of what other…

A message for the world
I saw this beautiful Rob Ryan mug when I was out shopping today and wanted to share it after what has gone on in the world today. I only hope that the sickening actions of those responsible do not push us further apart, but instead unite us in grief and a desire to make this…

‘Girl Power’ isn’t just a saying
All my life I’ve wondered how to ‘be’ the kind of woman I want to be. Fearless. Friendly. Strong. Independent. Creative. Driven. Kind. Vulnerable. Stylish. Selfless A good friend. A good partner. The kind of woman who can pull off lipstick in the daytime. The kind of woman who can walk into a busy room…

Saved by the ‘Angel Shot’
I saw something a few days ago in the Gold Coast that made me incredibly thankful to be alive right now. I was at a mini golf and bowling bar – the perfect spot for a date night and for losing to my fiance and his superior mini golfing skills – when I saw this…

Happiness Is… your favourite band reuniting
For as long as I can remember, Blink 182 have been my all time, absolute, loyal-til-the-day-I-die favourite band. Quote a lyric to me and I can tell you the next line, the name of the song and the album it came from. Mark Hoppus was my first ever celebrity crush and to this day if…

Conversations with… Shannan Greenwood
When we think of organ donation, we think of books like ‘My Sister’s Keeper’, pleas from desperate parents of sick children going viral or how it creates great ethical debates. We rarely ever stop to think of the people and the stories behind the issue and how organ donation quite simply does change lives. I remember…
