That New Dress Travels: Dubai Suprises

I've been lucky enough to have visited Dubai several times and although I have A LOT of love for it, I wouldn't label it the most beautiful place I've been in the world.  The truth is you know you're in Dubai when you can hear and see a hella lot of construction!  So imagine my surprise when I stayed in the Marina district for a couple of days and was truly blown away by the spectacular views and humming atmosphere.   Read more

Thoughts of the Month: Letter To My Younger Self

I was recently brought crashing down to earth with a thud when I realised my little bubby sister is not so little anymore.  Once she'd turned 13 she overnight became a young lady with her own thoughts, challenges and demons.  While thinking about how I can be there for her through these tricky adolescent years I began thinking about my turbulent teens and if I could go back what would I change.  While I don't believe in regrets, there are pointers I could definitely have done with.  This is a letter to my younger self....

Thoughts Of The Month: It’s OK…

Blogs have a habit of creating this perfect life illusion but remember behind every glossy image is many hours of mooching about in trackies with messy hair and imperfect skin.  When I write these kinds of “life advice” posts I want them to reflect reality, not fantasy. What I want to say is IT IS OK not to be perfect.  Sometimes (actually quite often) I’m grumpy, unmotivated, feisty or temperamental.  These are not my favourite characteristics but they are a part of me and IT IS OK.
