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 [...]

I published the 9th issue of my beloved little miniMAG tonight and as the weeks go by more and more people are signing up so I wanted to take a moment to let you to know it’s making my heart sing, thank you! I’m still playing with it, seeing which days suit, what content you [...]

There are lots of little events that happen during Full Figured Fashion Week® and the Curves in the City shopping event is one of them. It’s open to the public, advance purchase tickets only cost $10 USD and it’s well worth checking out. I’m glad to see that the event will be available again this [...]

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 [...]

The Vogue Factor

Late Wednesday night I received a call from Chelsea Bonner of Bella Models, she wanted to know if I’d like to attend Kirstie Clements “The Vogue Factor” book launch the following night… um, sure you know, whatever. I almost died. A vogue party full of vogue people at a vogue location, sipping vogue drinks, all [...]

When Darrianne Donnely of BGM Models invites you to spend the day at her Pyrmont apartment otherwise known as BGM HQ, you go. I was offered the opportunity to go behind the scenes during the ‘final five’ photo shoot for the Simone Perele & BGM Models Plus Size Model Search back in November last year. [...]

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 [...]

I was on twitter last night just minding my own business when I was alerted to the fact that I was on TV in the USA… WHAT?!?!?! Apparently my Skorch Magazine Cover (Nov 2011) was featured on NuVo’s Curvy Girls TV show so of course I went looking to see if I could find it. [...]

I have a confession… I’ve never been to the races. I’m 27 but that’s not too late to the game surely? I put some feelers out a few months ago, gently suggesting it would be a fun thing to do and got no interest at all, nadda. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I [...]

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 [...]

This morning I woke up bright and early as my living area was being turned into a studio. Another shoot for Pose and the theme was “angel”, not usually my cup of tea but that’s what Pose it all about, the opportunity to explore creatively. This is Jess the model and Amy was on make [...]

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 [...]

At NuffNang Fashionopolis last weekend I took the time during lunch to photograph a few of my twitter peeps who were in attendance. I planned on just emailing the photos to them but I really wanted to share their gorgeousness with you all. Enjoy! Inspired Wish Smaggle Omega Check out the official photos from NuffNang [...]

On Tuesday 15th May 2012 I decided to film everything I did that day for my entry in this weeks Kidspot Ford Territory Top 50 Bloggers Competition prompt “Day in my Life”. It was a huge day but an even bigger drama trying to get the video uploaded. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek [...]

#1 - PENS: Don’t assume that they will be at the event, you will need one to write down product codes you love, names of people you want to google when you get home, notes of what was on the menu and writing down your details for others if you happen to loose or run of business [...]

I’m not sure why I let it affect me so much, this feeling of inadequacy, the mistrust in my own decisions and constant fear of social rejection. I know these feelings have been around much longer than my career in social media, so why is it taking me so long to shift my mindset? Surely [...]
