Reflections And Goals

Published by

2014 was a big year for me. I began the year living in Sydney, started a new job (which was a considerable step up), flew between Sydney and Melbourne way too many times, had my heart broken, met some amazing people in Sydney, moved back to Melbourne and here we are again preparing for another New Year’s Eve. It’s no surprise that I am quite exhausted and not quite content with the 2 weeks Christmas shut down from work. During 2014, I was pleased to confirm that I have some of the most amazing friends in my life, my family are always there and my dog is still my favourite creature on the planet.

Diner en Blanc Is Coming To Melbourne

Published by

I am extremely excited to be getting involved with DeB Melbourne and hope many fellow Melbournian’s will join in this exclusive celebration. As the name suggests, the theme is always white. Both women and men must be dressed in white, appropriately of course and strictly white wine and …

Products That Nail It And Why I Won’t Buy O.P.I

Published by

Having well looked after nails is becoming as chronic and important as the icing on the cake. Honestly, if my nails are not ‘did’ for an event/outing of significance then I feel like I am missing an important element to my overall appearance. I also choose my nail colour in advance to make sure it’s appropriate for my choice of attire and I make sure my nails are painted at the prime time so they look fresh for the outing, but have had sufficient drying time. The ability of a nail polish to dry efficiently and sleekly is everything when it comes to choosing a particular product. The number of times I have painted my nails hours before bed and still woken up to smudged, dented nails is too many for me to be wasting any more time on those less than adequate shades again. So, when picking the right colour, you also want to know that the brand can be trusted to do a good job. No one has time to a) be waiting around …
