Living better, but with less
I’m ashamed. I let life get on top of me a little bit, I’ve updated my wardrobe and I haven’t cleared anything out. I’m now struggling to close drawers and find things in my heaving wardrobe. I honestly can’t believe I’ve let things get to this point. Perhaps that’s why I’ve been lacking in motivation…

We are currently in the process of renovating our kitchen, and as a result we have moved out of our house and are currently staying with family. It’s great because we don’t have to pay for temporary accommodation, but on the flip side I was and am resigned that while we are out of the…

I know…it’s September. However…I’ve almost finished my Christmas shopping…I’d say I’m 70% of the way there. How I did it?

Last night I went to a disco themed party and you know what that means – dressing up. A dress up party, depending on the theme, often involves having to purchase an item of clothing or an accessory in order to fit in with said theme, because let’s be honest and say that a lot…

I’m a big fan of leftovers, any potential food waste that I can save and re-purpose the next day is a big win for me. I hate throwing away perfectly good food, aside from the obvious, it feels to me just like throwing away money. Just as if I were to take a $5 note…
