19 May 2020 marked 6 years of me having a blog - making and posting (more or less) regular content to the internet for people to discover and view as they choose. So I started thinking, what SHOULD that mean at this point? And I decided that answer is everything and nothing, depending on who… Continue reading Six years of having a blog

“To be honest…” – It’s time to own your own opinions people!
How many times have you heard someone utter a statement like "so and so said that they noticed you've been doing this..." or "This person doesn't like it when you do that". I, for one, hear this a lot in my day to day life. To to untrained ear, you may think the person saying… Continue reading “To be honest…” – It’s time to own your own opinions people!
Why it’s better to learn to drive when you’re a bit older
Toot toot beep beep! I don't admit this often, but I'm glad I can drive now. I passed my dricing test at age 32, so I was almost twice the age most people are when they first hit the road. And for me, that was absolutely the best decision. Learning to drive is not always… Continue reading Why it’s better to learn to drive when you’re a bit older

Should we dress to impress?
Dress to impress. That phrase we've all heard umpteen times, seen on invitations, heard Gok Wan utter on dozens of TV shows over the years. But what does it really mean; what is the definition of dressing to impress? Should we dress to impress, and if so who is it exactly is it that we're… Continue reading Should we dress to impress?
“Being a blogger isn’t a real job” Wrong – it is, AND it makes you more employable
This phrase really boils my p**s. Partly because it's uttered by people who have very little knowledge of what blogging means and what's involved with doing it, but mainly because it's a statement that isn't true. I don't work for myself currently or as a full time blogger, but I know people who are, so… Continue reading “Being a blogger isn’t a real job” Wrong – it is, AND it makes you more employable
