I love a recap so I’ve hit the keyboard to look at my year that was! Full disclosure before you read on, while everyone experiences ups and downs (myself included), this recap focuses only on the positive because who wants to end the year being a negative nelly? In 2017 I was lucky to have plenty […]
In April this year my sister Candice married her partner. Of everyone in my family Candice is by far the most organised, and true to form she arranged every wedding detail herself, including her hens party. With the maid-of-honour role requiring no work and just the glory of the title at stake, my sister […]

Australia has so many stunning locations that fit the brief, but sunny North Queensland is hard to beat. The destination wedding business is booming and with plenty of options to explore […]

Native American tribes and outlaws roamed the countryside and the town housed and jailed many outlaw legends including Billy the Kid (he is buried in Santa Fe!). While visiting Santa Fe, my travel buddy and I had an unexpected introduction into American […]

Stunning infinity pools, divine ancient ruins, and perfectly powdery white snow, Instagram travel bloggers can make us ache longingly for a holiday. But those travel aspirations can quickly disappear when pen is put to paper. However, there are small travel hacks you can take to cut costs. Below are my top 5 money saving travel […]
There’s a certain charm to walking down palm-tree lined streets with gentle sun rays dancing upon your skin. It was supposed to be midwinter, and while some parts of the United States were hitting subzero temperatures, I was soaking up the rays in the perpetually sunny Los Angeles. With only 48 hours in the City of […]
