Unboxing Special — US Expat Edition
X When you are a US expat, sometimes there are things you miss from home. Thankfully I have a mother who graciously ships care packages! She always sends us the things that we want or need. It’s so nice to be able to enjoy all the same goodies from back in the States! From graham […]
Go Get Yourself Some Cheap Sunglasses
X Go Get Yourself Some Cheap Sunglasses — It’s International Sunglasses Day! I can’t quite remember when my love affair with mirrored aviator sunglasses began. I think growing up in Los Angeles in the 80s is the first clue. Living in a place that receives nearly 300 sunny days per year, sunglasses aren’t just an […]
Weight Loss Project: Week 2.5 Special Update
Weight Loss Project: Week 2.5 Special Update X Well, I didn’t listen to my own advice. I let that doctor’s appointment, and the anger and sadness that was wrapped around it, just propel me in to Advanced Comfort Foods. None of it healthy, none of it diet friendly, or even friendly-adjacent. And while it helped […]
Fluevog Friday! Munsters Original with Burgundy Embossed Suede
X Fluevog Friday! Munsters Original Burgundy Suede X Once again, I have gone back in time, all the way to 2010, when Fluevog celebrated it’s 40th Anniversary by re-issuing some favourite styles from the past. I went a bit nuts that year and nearly bought the entire catalogue, but those were different days, with different […]
Cancer Journey: Arrogant Doctors
Cancer Journey: Arrogant Doctors X X I have had the most tremendous medical team on my side throughout my cancer journey. Everyone from the porters who brought me meals, to the nurses who held my hand when I was scared, to the staff who comforted me when I cried, to the lead surgeons and consultants, […]

Weight Loss Project: Week 2
WEIGHT LOSS PROJECT: WEEK 2 X I am very happy about the scale number this week. Last week, when it registered a 10 lb (4.5kg) loss, I felt it was highly unlikely that was a true fat loss. The numbers just do not add up. I am calorie counting, that’s it. I average a daily […]
It’s World Martini Day!
X It’s World Martini Day! Happy World Martini Day! I do love martinis, but usually I like something a little different. My go-to back in the US was a Dirty Martini, made with — (for me) vodka and olive juice (brine). For some reason, the Irish have not caught on to this cocktail. But what […]
Fluevog Friday! Mini Dollface in Blue, Cream and Wine
X Fluevog Friday! Mini Dollface in Blue, Cream and Wine X Today, I dug way back into my beloved Fluevog collection and chose one of my dearest pairs – the Mini Dollface in a blue, cream and wine colourway. To think these shoes were released well over a decade ago is remarkable; they still ignite […]
It’s Raspberry Popover Day!
X It’s Raspberry Popover Day! [I initially filmed this for Raspberry Popover Day, which occurs in May. I wasn’t ready to publish then, but I’m sharing now, because raspberries are still in season, so what not? I hope you enjoy!] I am celebrating Raspberry Popover Day with a new-to-me pastry! I have made many Yorkshire […]
