Ahh, social media. I see things that frustrate me and make me sad and I often want to say something, but I mostly just scroll on by.⏩So here’s a post for me to get something off my chest.👀I see people who post about how much they hate their job, their financial situation, or some other […]

I’ve never really been concerned about what most people think of me. My perfectionism has always been about my own (often unreasonable) standards rather than a sense of people-pleasing. But I’m still an introvert and a HSP, so when I got pink foils in my hair years ago (second 📷 below), I felt extremely self-conscious.

Something’s been unsettling me lately. I’ve been seeing quite a few posts on social media making fun of those of us who use essential oils. It’s pretty sucky because we all get lumped into the same bucket of people who think that ’natural solutions can cure everything’. Just to be clear, I don’t think that.

I lost my dad when I was just 20 years old. It was very, very sudden. I got the news that he was unwell and I immediately flew from Adelaide to Canberra, but he was already heavily sedated. We were told that he only had a few days left. They lightened the sedation at one

Today my heart feels heavy. Last week, a young woman named Eurydice Dixon was raped and murdered in Victoria, Australia, as she walked home from performing a comedy gig. Before the alleged perpetrator had turned himself in and was charged, Victorian Police Superintendent David Clayton made outrageous statements about how women need to be aware of

I find it really hard to post things on this blog. Today I’ve been asking myself why. I have so many things I want to share, but because I’m a perfectionist, I often struggle. I want to have a polished piece of writing. I want a nice theme to it, and an inspirational quote to

My poor, neglected blog. It’s been a long time between visits. I could defend myself and say that I’ve been busy, and this is certainly true. Between my day job, ghostwriting, freelance admin work, virtual assistance work, and my essential oil business… life is quite full. But I could easily have made time to update
