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...

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....

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...

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!...

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...
