It’s been 14 months since I decided I needed to make my health a priority and started exercising ‘formally’, with a personal trainer and classes and the like. It’s been two years since I did my first Operation Move, Learn to Run program, which I loved and taught me that while running is not for me, […]
In partnership with my love for lingerie and sponsored by Simone Pérèle This morning I went for a wax, and as I lay on under fluorescent lighting in my underwear while two women took to my extremities with their hot wax and fabric strips, I thought about all the ‘joys’ we experience as women. Earlier today, […]
Let’s start with the obvious. The solution to body confidence (and great sex) is NOT going on a diet. Can someone please tell me why this is not completely obvious?!?! Also obvious is this: if a woman has low self-esteem and is struggling with body confidence issues that are having an impact in the bedroom […]
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about love after kids and the very real challenges couples can face as they transition from a party of two to three or more. I know, from the feedback you sent me, that this resonated strongly and for that, I am so thankful. There was however, a big elephant in […]
This is the show that everyone is talking about and for good reason. After seeing it’s 5-star rating on Netflix we sat down to watch it last weekend. And wow.

What I love about small business owners is how much they genuinely LOVE what they do. […]
The best thing to hold onto in life, is each other – Audrey Hepburn. Most mornings I listen to my eldest two children negotiate whose turn it is for the little bathroom stool they stand on while brushing their teeth. I’m kind of impressed at the way they’ve been able to handle this, coming to an agreement […]
Well, this is fun. I know, it seems hard to believe that the same people responsible for the NBN couldn’t get an entire nation of people to access the same website on the same day! Hmmm…..while we wait (first for the excuses and recriminations, I assume) and then for it to be sorted, we can […]
For the past five years, I’ve run a business and tried to be a “present” parent. During this time I have pretty much mastered the art of overwhelm, and I’m sure I’m not the only one…. The rising sense of panic. The sick feeling in your gut when you wake up and realise what the day […]
School holidays present a conundrum for me – I adore my children, they bring me immense joy and delight BUT I don’t find being a mum a walk in the park. That probably doesn’t shock you, as I don’t know heaps of people who sail through parenting…though it might not always be easy to tell when […]
