Friday Favourites: Catchy Songs & Cute Books I’m Enjoying

I’m a big fan of pop culture, and although I’m not quite as on trend as I maybe used to be (but then again, maybe not…?), I do like to keep somewhat abreast of the zeitgeist. I’m usually late to the punch, but when I arrive, I like to think I bring the passion! There’s…

An Ode To Creativity: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

I just finished a book that will change my life. Seriously. Back in 2009 I read Eat Pray Love and yes, I proclaimed that it was a life-changing book. This was not a lie, people!

Feeling fit and fancy free!

I found out last night I have lost a fair amount of weight. I already felt lighter but a little weigh-in on the scales confirmed this. I am approximately 6-7kg lighter than the last time I weighed myself! After eating healthily for months and foregoing chocolate as a dessert and/or meal, it is nice to…
