Photography-ing
Here are a few snaps I took yesterday while milling about my local beach. Humbled to live in such a beautiful city! Love, Steph x
A Lesson to be Learned from My Cats.
Watching my two cats fighting in the backyard makes me realise that we really aren’t that different from them. This may sound weird, and perhaps it is. But we have been slowly introducing our five-month-old kitten to our 7-year-old cat, and it’s not been the smoothest of rides. When Buckley (kitten) sees Missy (cat) in…
The Hidden Value of ‘Slow Days’.
Do you feel guilty when you take a little time for yourself? Do you feel like you are doing ‘nothing’, even though you could list a number of tasks you have completed today? Would you hate to bump into certain people for fear of having to explain and justify your way of life? I have…
Getting Grateful.
Sometimes I think I would benefit from getting out of my own head and checking in with the real world. Being present certainly has a lot of upsides. It would help with those niggling feelings that I am ‘missing out’ or that ‘other people are doing cooler/better/more things than me’. Blah blah , whinge whinge. Those…
Back from the abyss.
Hello lovelies! I hope you all had a great holiday season and were able to have at least a bit of a break. I had a much-needed relaxing time and am looking forward to an exciting 2011! I have been having many delicious meals out and about, and am dying to tell you all about…
Day 7 without chocolate, cake or biscuits.
And it’s haaard. It has been so miserable in Melbourne recently, cold, rainy and blustery. Perfect chocolate-munching weather. But no! After a few ridiculous blowouts involving donuts, cake and many, many cookies, I have tested myself to see if I can go for 10 days without my favourite sweet treats. Just to get back on…
Binge whinge.
As a committed foodie, it is taking all of my self-restraint not to devour a melting moment right now. A packet of 6 was bought the other night, five were consumed (one by me… yum) and there is now one left. Sitting there, taunting me. Ahhhhh sweet biscuit, why do you tease me so? Around the…
On the (job) hunt
So I have reached that stage where I need to grow up. This year is all about transition for me, but already I am feeling itchy feet and want to get moving. I feel like I have been floating around neither here nor there and it is starting to do my head in, quite frankly….
Bookworm?
Today at work, I realised how few books I have read recently. Which is unfortunate, as I work in a bookshop. To be fair, the overwhelming volume of books means that even the keenest of readers will have those elusive few tomes that continually elude them. The amount of stock we have in the shop…
January 8th Resolutions
So, I have yet to make any 2010 resolutions. This is due to my belief that goal-setting should occur the whole year round and not purely because it’s a new year. However, I do feel like this year is a fresh slate, and I am ready for a change. After changing my hair colour two…
