Like a Lady

Thumbnail image for Like a Lady

I like being a lady who luches, especially on a Monday when I’m usually working. There’s something to be said about escaping from normality, getting dressed up and eating delicious food. It’s good for the soul. It’s even better when you do it with friends. The lovely team at Appliances Online held a gorgeous brunch [...]

Nespresso High Coffee

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a coffee drinker but on the odd occasion where I’ve found myself in a cafe for a meeting and surprisingly a raspberry “Spider” isn’t a fitting beverage, I’ve dabbled with lattes and mochas. So when someone lovely from Nespresso (who also happens to be a direct link to George Clooney) invites [...]

I was gifted an LG Optimus G Smartphone and given the option to give one away. I was not paid for this post and as usual all thoughts and opinions are my own. Most of the time when I get invited to attend events I have an idea of how it will play out but [...]

Ahhh the Full Figured Fashion Week White Cruise, it was last year but it feels like last week. The night was filled with beautiful views, all-white fashion, awesome opportunities for networking and to top it all off a romantic proposal. There are a lot of photos so I’ll let them do most of the talking, [...]

Aussie Curves – Sydney Meet

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Sydney Meet

How could I possibly sum up yesterday’s Aussie Curves meet up in just one post and really do it justice? I don’t think I can but I’m going to try my best. I chose my favourite restaurant Grill’d at Harbourside as they cater for most diets, everyone could easily order their own meals pretty cheaply and [...]

Lusty Lashes

Last Thursday I got dressed up and headed into the city for an event showcasing GLAM by Manicare products. I’ve never met anyone who hasn’t heard of Manicare or used their products before. I’d tried a few of their lashes and didn’t mind them but was keen to learn a few more tricks to apply [...]

Last Thursday Aidan and I ventured into Sydney for an event. Usually I go to these things alone but I was excited to bring Aidan along for the day. He just loves to go on “adventures” with me on the train into the big city. He slipped his shoes on, grabbed his hat, clipped on [...]

How to set up a Plus Size Market Stall

Thumbnail image for How to set up a Plus Size Market Stall

Yesterday I held my very first pre-loved fashion market stall. Did I mention I had only decided to do it three days prior? I know, madness but I did it and whilst it was really hard work it totally paid off. I checked my local council tourism website for a list of local markets, picked [...]

Beauty Bloggers High Coffee

The Facebook invitation sat in my inbox unanswered for ages. I’d keep flicking over to the event page and hovering over the “accept” button, loosing my nerve and clicking “maybe” instead. Was I really prepared to go to a beauty bloggers event at a posh hotel in the city when I only knew two of [...]

PSFWA 2012 – Part One

Thumbnail image for PSFWA 2012 – Part One

In November last year I hosted my very first charity fashion event and I still can’t quite believe that it happened. Just like New York, it was so intense I wasn’t quite sure how to write my posts about it. Fifteen plus size fashion bloggers from all over Australia were invited to attend a weekend [...]

Sponsored by Nuffnang When someone invites you to a intimate get together to learn more about “New Dettol Touch of Foam, the easiest way to steal a moment of softness in your busy day.” you kind of want to go along and see what all the fuss is about. A day at Sheraton on the [...]

I could tell you how inspirational the ProBlogger Training Event (#pbevent) was, rehash all the lessons from my point of view and give you the steps you need to take to get the keys to the holy grail of blogging but I’d be wasting my time. I can guarantee every single attendee took away something different, something powerful [...]

Wash your favourite bras and undies. Trust me, you’ll want your best ones on hand when you’re meeting new people. Feeling spendy? Why not splash out on a new set or two for a dash of sexy confidence. I’m not saying they have to be little lacy numbers, maybe just a pair in your favourite [...]

17 Sundays at Blogopolis PART THREE

Read PART TWO Here. You know it’s a good night when you’re taking tipsy photos of yourself in the dingy bar toilets don’t you? In my defence I forgot to take a photo before I left the hotel and if I waited to take it when I got back to the room… well no one [...]

Ahhh… don’t you just love blog conferences! I may be a little addicted and I’ve definitely lost count on how many blogging events I’ve attended and hosted in the last two years. The most recent conference was Nuffnang Blogopolis (#NNB2012) in Sydney which is what the next few posts are all about. When I go [...]

Click each thumbnail to enlarge gallery photos… See how much fun blogging conferences are! These pics are from the Aussie Bloggers Conference (company renamed to Digital Parents after the event). I attended a lot of events and conferences last year, I’m pretty sure almost all of them to be honest (and all out of my [...]

Last week I got a lovely tweet from @traceytakesphotos offering me two tickets to go and see The Wiggles 20th Birthday Concert in the big tent at the Castle Hill Showgrounds. Tracey won four tickets in a Digital Parents competition and it was so nice of her to share them with us, especially as we’d [...]

V8 Supercars

I never liked car races, they didn’t interest me, I didn’t “get’ them but when the PR company for the V8 Supercars emailed me offering free tickets to the Telstra Sydney 500 I knew someone who did like them, who did “get” car racing so I accepted the tickets and prepared to share the good news [...]

A few months ago I received a letter in the mail asking me if I would like to host a Girls Night In charity event for the Cancer Council to aid research into all womens cancers. Having irregular cells found on my cervix when I was only seventeen and the subsequent preventative treatments, Girls Night [...]

The last few days have been completely epic. I made a short video of my time away so I hope you enjoy it. I’m not going to go into what I personally learnt from the event but I highly recommend watching the filmed sessions when they’re released in the next week or so, I know [...]

The Dispensary

As you know I go to a few events, I love them. I think it’s exciting to get dressed up, kiss the boys good night and head off into the lights and do something fun and different. I get to meet new people, engage in conversations that don’t involve Chuggington and photograph my whole experience. [...]

Naturalizer – Love Your Shoes

Thumbnail image for Naturalizer – Love Your Shoes

A few weeks ago I got an invitation to a PR event which included an afternoon talking about Naturalizer shoes as well as lunch at one of Sydney’s newest venues, “Food Society“… how could I refuse! It’s a stone throw away from the city, I walked there from Town Hall after a spot of window [...]

Last night as I was coming home on the train I didn’t have any wifi, my phone battery had died and I had no magazines… so I wrote to you all on my ipad. I don’t normally blog on the go like this but I wanted to share a few raw feelings with you… I’m [...]

It was a lovely way to spend [...]
