Recently, I was shopping at our nearest mall and walked into one of my favourite boutiques; a local home-wear/stationary shop. After browsing around, I ended up purchasing an art print that I loved; I opened to the print to find out who the artist was and came across In the Daylight. In the Daylight is located…

An Australian Christmas
This year, we had a low-key, quiet Christmas; see what we got up to: We both hope that you and your friends and family had a wonderful, blessed Christmas xx
Boutique Coffee
So recently, especially where I work, I have noticed a trend of coffee shops now also having their own boutique either within the café or connected next door. The convenience of this is great and is probably one reason why coffee shops have become so popular, however I don’t think my wallet would agree. Quite…
First and Last
“We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change, and the last generation that can do something about it.”
Younger
So thanks to Claudia, we are both officially addicted to ‘Younger‘. ‘Younger’ is the perfect modern day TV-show for every girl in their 20s; iPhones, memes, affairs, Tinder, Goodreads, careers, love and tattoos. Plus, if you watched Lizzy McGuire growing up, just like Claudia and I, you’ll love seeing Hilary Duff back in action. Watch the…
Organisation
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am super organised. Quite often too organised; so much so that sometimes I find it hard to budge from my schedule. The positive: I am a professional organiser. There are a few essential items to an achieve an A+: Kikki K Planner Apple products (or any electronic devices…
Guiding Light
Well the road is wide, And waters run on either side, And my shadow went with fading light, Stretching out towards the night. ‘Cause the Sun is low, And I yet have still so far to go, My lonely heart is beating so, Tired of the wonder. But there’s a sign ahead, Though I think…

The Slow Walk
“There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater. But sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it…
As Human As to Breathe
“…There is never a perfect answer in this messy, emotional world. Perfection is beyond the reach of humankind, beyond the reach of magic. In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human…
I loved it with my whole heart
“Home. This was familiar. This was good. This was what I’d known my whole life. It didn’t mean it would always be my final destination, just that when I was here, I loved it with my whole heart.” – Audrey Carlan
A Love Quote
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that…

Something in which each and everyone of you should be reminded of, to stay true to yourself. “Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.” –…

The early bird catches the worm
“The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can’t pretend we haven’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still, sometimes, we have to…
It was a comet.
“It was a comet. The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning. And when it went away, he waited his entire life for it to come back to him. It was more than just a comet because of what it brought to his life: direction, beauty, meaning. There are…
Those Stars Will Lead You Home
“I’ve come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I’m a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won’t…

Then, She Began to Breathe
“Then, she began to breathe, and live, and every moment took her to a place where goodbyes were hard to come by. She was in love, by not with someone or something, she was in love with her life. And for the first time, in a long time, everything was inspiring.” – R.M. Drake
Make someones day
I think that you’ll find the small things, mean more to people than you’ll ever know. The smile you give to strangers as you cross paths in life; when you ask how they are; that “well done”. Sometimes, we all just need that gentle reminder to remember how we treat others. Humans are designed to…

Finding Daily Joy
“And so taking the long way home through the market I slow my pace down. It doesn’t come naturally. My legs are programmed to trot briskly and my arms to pump up and down like pistons, but I force myself to stroll past the stalls and pavement cafes. To enjoy just being somewhere, rather than…
