  • Christmas 2020 Gift Ideas

    I suppose with any move, there are purchases that need to be made. For us, there is always a dash to Ikea, a stock up at the grocery store and this time, endless orders from Amazon. Moving continents has meant re-buying a lot of our electrical items. Ouch… for...
  • December 2018: Shine

    I have heard this so much recently and I have even been saying this myself. 2018 has been tough. It’s been rough and busy and stressful and I am done with it! So how can a word like this add anything at all to this year? December 2018: Shine....

    November 2018: Gratitude

    I forgot to breathe in October… something about being away all summer, then literally just playing catch up all September and October. No breathing, just drowning, racing, gasping for air – and then I stopped for coffee and it was all good again. But that was last month… I...
  • June 2018 Balance

    June 2018: Balance

    Balance! This word is the very essence of me… how I would like to live my life. I AM BALANCE. Cheesy cheese twisties, junk chocolate, deep-fried goodness, sweet things like almond croissants and a buttery kouign amann from Dominique Ansel’s Bakery in London. Or what about a sweet nutty...
  • May 2018: Fearless

    Such big plans we had in January. This word… Fearless… seemed like a great choice back then. However, it’s been a word we’ve struggled with (as seen by the lateness of this post). You see, in January we had planned a big Vanilla Beige magazine launch for May. It would...

    April 2018: Organise

    I have to say, I’m the least organised person I know. I don’t know why because I can be so frustratingly OCD at times. Now, I don’t know why I pitched OCD and being organised together, it just seems like they would go well together. Like chocolate and coffee,...

    January 2018 Calendar and the Year for Positivity

    This year, rather than setting myself a resolution (not that I ever set resolutions), I thought it would be better to focus on one word… just one word! One that would set the tone and motivate me for 2018… Really, that shouldn’t have been so hard. But here we...
  • Italy Puglia Trullo

    MIS-Adventures in a Lesser Known Part of Italy – Puglia

    When you run out of things to say to someone, the inevitable question is always, “so where are you headed for the summer holidays?”. However, I swear, if I do ask you that question, I’ve NOT run out of things to say to you! I’m genuinely interested. Because I...
  • A Lesson in Modern Calligraphy

    I often procrastinate about doing something, and then, when I finally get to do it, it has to be TODAY, or ok, tomorrow! This was the case for me looking at workshops on modern calligraphy. I looked for months. Then all of a sudden, it just had to be done!...

    Tween Shopping, a Holiday Treat

    Think about what you dislike about tween shopping, and well, for yourself also. Busy change rooms, searching for outfits, finding someone to help you, queuing (with tweens in tow!)… Well, I’ve found something better. And when I say better, I mean an experience that just makes it easy, even...
