Adventures of the Swan Valley
Winter in Perth is a little wet… okay I’m kidding, it seems to be constantly raining (although my favourite weather) it is easier to be cooped up inside with the heater on and under the blankets than it is to make the effort and get out and do something with your weekends. Instead of opting…

I know what’s going through your mind, what on earth is she on about now. But believe it or not, this period of being “retired” as some call it, or unemployed by others, or as I like to call it, an extended vacation, really has given me a lot of time to think and reflect. …
Going down under!
A short while ago I decided to make one of the biggest decisions I’ve had to make, do I stay or do I go? I’m not going to lie, I didn’t even hesitate at the thought of it, it was an immediate yes from me, but as the time got closer, of course things got…
Did somebody say a facial?
How many of you have perceived issues about their skin? Let me guess, you’re uncomfortable without make-up on? You won’t leave the house without it? Sounds familiar?
