It’s been a busy couple of weeks, so I have found myself recording photographs and moments with my iPhone. I have a Canon IXUS but the iPhone is just so handy, and I always have it with me. I’m still a total Hipstamatic tragic, and I’ve gladly indoctrinated many of my friends too :D The…

Zine update
It’s been a bit of a disrupted work week, but here are three more drawings for Tell me about your body in 10 words or less. I didn’t realise how much people’s feelings would affect me, and I have to say it’s slow going at times.
Wooloongabba Antique Centre: amazing
My cousin is getting married very soon and her “bad taste bridesmaid” hen’s night is this weekend so I went with my sister to find some terrible (yet incredible) frocks. We decided on a whim to stop into the Wooloongabba Antique Centre and stayed there for hours exploring the place! It’s a warehouse jam-packed with…
Two oufits: Ikea vs Theatre Opening
Nick and I went to Ikea in search of containers for our kitchen cupboards and I felt like wearing something comfortable and loose. I am a big fan of Susie from Style Bubble and the way she wears oversized clothes with longer proportions, but I also thought it was fun to change my silhouette. I’m…
Friday Fance: A pastel mood
This collection of photos is all pale and pastelly by coincidence because I’m not normally drawn to lighter hues. I am very much enjoying all these things right now though! This is but a sampling of Julie Moon’s lovely sculptural pieces, you really ought to go check her portfolio out! There’s so much stuff I…
DIY Turmeric Face Mask
My skin is oily and prone to cystic acne, and I have tried so SO many things to “fix” my face but nothing works. As I am coming to the nice round age of 30 I’ve relaxed quite a lot about my “flaws” and learned to make peace with myself (most of the time, I’m…
In search of: business card holders
Nick has a new job complete with business cards fresh off the press, so he wants to find a business card holder he can carry around in his pocket. He asked me for help when he couldn’t find anything he liked, and good thing he did because I know I’ll find him something awesome :P…
Tell me about your body
After going to TEDxBrisbane and seeing Dallas Clayton’s video on publishing “An Awesome Book” I have been feeling inspired to self publish a book. I’ve also been reading a few old zines, the FaT GiRL zines from the 90s in particular, and I thought I’d start out by publishing a zine on body image –…
Super tangy lemon pudding
I was craving something with a citrus tang last night so I cobbled together a recipe for a microwavable lemon self-saucing pudding. Ingredients 1 cup self-raising flour, sifted 1/3 cup caster sugar 2 small lemons, rind finely grated (you can substitute any citrus on hand, really) 60g butter, melted, at room temperature (I used olive…
Self esteem is revolutionary
In a culture where negative self talk is actively encouraged most of us have days when we feel like we don’t measure up. This practice of comparing ourselves and our bodies with others rarely produces good outcomes. It’s such a damaging culture that even those with high self esteem aren’t immune. Even those who are…
