I’ve caught the dreaded writer’s block. AAAGGHH! Why did I sign myself up for this ridiculous project of writing everyday?? I can barely shower everyday, never mind writing, which is a lot trickier than rinse, lather, rinse, towel dry. With writing it’s type, erase typo, type some more, scratch head and stare into space, delete […]
Today was an odd day. It started with a topsy-turvy emotional morning that had me bawling like a baby in my husband’s arms for ten minutes (you know that completely inexplicable spontaneous heart-break that just comes on you out of nowhere? That kind of crying. Of course it’s not really out of nowhere, it’s most […]
There’s a voice in my head, actually there are several and they bounce off one another. Usually goes a little like this: Little Miss Wishful: “Ooooh, those shoes are so pretty. I’d LOVE to visit Paris. And I’d love some chocolate right now… I want a cuddle.” Scaredy Cat: “Not more money on shoes you […]
We’re into the double digits – day 10 and it’s the first day I really didn’t feel like writing; there’s a steep and slippery slope stretching out before me. See I’m notorious for starting projects and going guns blazing for the first week or two. Once the novelty wears off and the struggle begins, I’m […]
The problem is that 99.9% of life can’t be controlled. No matter how hard you try to scrutinize and micro-manage every last detail (and trust me I’ve tried) life is mercurial in it’s abilities to completely shift course in milli-seconds.
It’s interesting how such a small thing can make you feel so good. As I’ve mentioned in my previous daily scribbles, I’m a pretty low-maintenance girl; I prefer spending my money on travel/books/coffee so manicures, facials and visits to the hair salon are minimal.
What is it with the trend these days of selfies, of documenting every single aspect of your life on social media, from what you ate for breakfast to what you’re wearing to your current mood… Isn’t it weird? I understand how it makes special stories out of the mundane – if you’ve ever watched a […]
Day two of a brand new year and I can reveal that my new year resolutions have already fallen flat on their faces, with several resounding SPLATS. A few examples… Cut down on sweet foods Yesterday I scoffed an entire chocolate Santa – gobbled up the entire thing. Felt ill and repulsed towards the end […]
A new year is a new start, isn’t it? A time to get stuck into projects and plans and ideas. I have an idea for 2018 and in fact, you’re reading it right now; a little project that’s been inspired by a friend of mine who has her own You-tube channel. She posts simple home […]
I was sleepy and bleary eyed this morning, reluctantly dragging my ass out of bed at 7.45 am when I needed to leave for work by 8.20 am. I’m a pretty minimal kinda girl though, most days I don’t even brush my hair, throwing it straight up in a messy bun:
