Questioning the Universe and Taming my Hair

Ever since I became a bludger/unemployed drone/vacationer in Malaysia, I have had more time than before (ie. when I had basically zero time and actually zero energy) so do some thinking. So a-thinkin’, I have been! And a funny conundrum has occurred to me once more – no matter how much or how little I’m…

How to Shift Annoying Winter Weight (From Someone Who Knows)

About five years ago, I changed up my complete eating habits and lost about 10kg. That is a lot of weight to lose, and sometimes when I think about it, I can barely believe it. However, it happened, and I really like knowing that I did it all by myself. Just before I left Korea,…

An Introduction to Malaysia

As you know by now, I am currently in Malaysia, sitting, resting and sitting some more. It’s bliss. I loved this country from the moment I stepped off the plane, and it seems to be getting better and more interesting with every day. I know I am incredibly excited, but you know, I feel like…

Changes

So… I’m in Malaysia! Yep, it’s happened, and I couldn’t be happier. I know I have been off the radar for about a month, and I pray that you will forgive me, dear readers! You know, I’ve really missed blogging, and it was really difficult because for a while I didn’t quite feel like myself….

4 Ways to Stay Happy in Winter

I have a confession to make: I’m one of those people. Someone who claims, “my favourite season is winter, I just love how fresh and cold and snuggly everything is!”. Now, while this is all true (does it get any snugglier than 6 layers plus a beanie and furry gloves? No, it does not), living…

Welcome to 2015 (and a surprise announcement…)!

Hi friends, First of all: I know. I have left you stranded for far too long. Trust me, I’ve felt it too. There has been no content on here in a long time, and I have genuinely missed it. Let me fill you in on what’s been happening. First of all, there was Christmas. So, I…

Merry Christmas (or something)!

Whatever the 25th of December means to you, I hope you’ve spent it/will spend it with people you love and food you love to eat. I know I did. In fact, I am just now considering going back for seconds of my mum’s delicious chicken with pistachios and cranberries – so what if it’s 11:15pm?…

Video: The Monday Vlog #5!

Okay, so I know it’s really not Monday… but still, surprise! I realised after the last Monday Vlog that I had forgot to put a bit of extra footage in. Couple that with the fact that I haven’t taken many shots this week and you’ve got this bumper/catchup/binge session on your hands. Yep, I’m good to…

How Milk Ruins Your Skin

So I’ve decided to give up milk (again). Now, when I say “give up”, I initially meant it loosely and forgave myself if I ever reneged on this promise. However, after my episode a little while ago where milk completely destroyed my appetite and my body for a good 5 days, I’ve since given up on being easy on…
