It’s been so long since I updated this website, I have aged from a young, rebellious Kate Winslet to an elderly woman who throws jewellery into the sea because she DGAF about your mission or that you took her out on a boat to relive the greatest (fictional) love story of our generation before, presumably, […]

Some writers are magical, organized creatures that complete a piece, post links from their website, push it out on social media and keep their beautiful, shiny digital portfolio in top shape at all times. Oh, and then there’s me (and plenty other writers) who write things at 2am, post all the things on Twitter, Facebook […]

I remember securing my newborn child into her car seat for the first time, fastening her in and double-checking every strap before leaving the hospital. It was a little bucket seat that clicked into a base, keeping my baby locked and loaded as we travelled along city roads. I had chosen the seat carefully, looking […]

Disclaimer: The following is not true at all, quite obviously…at least, I hope it’s obvious. Also, I love how recipes are written on the Internet. God bless toast. So much of memory is tied to scent, and nothing brings me back to my childhood as much as the smell of fresh toast in the morning. […]

Lenny Kravitz is my fashion role […]

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but self-care is bullshit. OK, not everything to do with self-care is bullshit, but a lot of it is, especially if you’re a woman, and even more so if you’re a mom. The concept of taking care of yourself is a good one, obviously. Mental, physical, emotional, creative, […]
