1) You save money. Yes, if you have ever managed to find a skirt on the rack from Sportsgirl or Country Road that still has the original store tags and is less than half the price then the benefits (and buzz!) of finding a bargain are a given. This doesn’t always happen, however, without doing…
Adam and I have been together now for over fifteen happy years. Sure, there’s been bad patches, but they’ve been far outweighed by the good. In university, for example, we were the couple told most often to go “get a room.” It’s not all sunshine, however. Oh, no. Check out last night for example. {Withheld…
October is Frocktober, the intiative begun in 2007 that has gone from strength to strength over the years, all in aid of support and advocacy for the early detection of Ovarian Cancer in Australia and raising funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF). You can read more about their mission – written in an…
This is what I’ve read so far this month. What, we’ve only just past halfway? I hear you ask. I suppose that’s the only upside of being laid up in bed for practically all this time. Although, if I’m honest, I’m still making my way through Tender is the Night. My feelings about it oscillate…

Blah. Let’s start again, okay? * For years I…
Although I’m still feeling horribly sore, further discussions of ‘MY HEAD – IT HURTS’ have been postponed for a little while because I have more exciting news to talk about today. Many of you have been asking about the new book, and it would be remiss of me not to assist your inquiries. Crying in…
These things I ponder, lying in bed watching the brash transition of spring as it passes across the sky, wind-lashing trees: I am sore and raw. The left side of my face has dropped (as I was warned but, like a vain princess in a fairy tale, conveniently forgot) a fold of skin rests above…
From here… Groggy View outside Room Inside Room Bed To here: Bed I felt pretty good yesterday on discharge from the hospital; however it’s all caught up with me today. I’m sore and feeling pretty ordinary. Apparently the surgery went well, although I can’t really testify to that at the moment as the swelling prevents…
