They say a woman’s hair is her crowning glory. Well, about 6 months ago, I started losing mine. A lot of it. At first I had doubts, and tried to convince myself that nothing had changed. It had always been like that, I just hadn’t noticed that I lose so much hair. But it continued … Continue reading
I wrote a post a while back about work and life falling out of balance, about how the scales had tipped sharply in the favour of work and time for myself was almost non-existant. I also wrote about addressing the problem next week. But guess what? I didn’t. Surprise, surprise. Not only was I working … Continue reading
I went to my new gym for the first time the other day. I didn’t see the very small “i” next to the word Step, indicating that the class I had chosen was an intermediate class. It’s about ten years since I took a step class, and it was in English, my mother tongue, not … Continue reading
It seems that we live in an instant everything society these days. We want everything yesterday. And if we can’t have it yesterday, at least today. Right this second. Information is constantly at our finger tips. Having a heated debate at a dinner party? No longer do we have to agree to disagree, we just … Continue reading

A girl should drink champagne at every possible occasion. Sound a little frivolous? It certainly did to me. I mean… champagne is a LUXURY, … Continue reading
My friends would probably describe me as having a pretty thin skin. And I must admit, sometimes things people say really get to me. I don’t necessarily find negative feedback easy to take, particularly when it’s just flat out criticism rather than the constructive kind. But hey, it’s something I’m working on. And what better … Continue reading
Ever been lazing round on a Saturday morning without any real plans for the day ahead? Go to the gym, maybe? Get some groceries? Have lunch with friends? Well, I’ve got another idea. Why not jump out of bed, put on some curiosity and get out and explore the city you live in? What??? I … Continue reading
Until the age of 30, there wasn’t the slightest sign of my age. If ever I was asked how old I was, I would cheekily ask “How old do you think I am?” The answer always came back about 5 years younger than my actual age. And people weren’t just saying it to be nice… … Continue reading
Laugh Lots, Travel Often
