    Outfit – Belated Halloween – The End

    A bit late, but here is one of my work outfits for Halloween! As soon as it hits October, I like to pull out the fun spooky makeup! It’s quite amusing to see the reaction of people in-store, but overall, I get a lot of compliments! Halloween is slowly growing in popularity here in Australia. I’m enjoying buying decorations for the house, to keep out all year round of course!  These glitter fishnets are a favourite of mine lately, but I’ve realised that for long work days, I have to wear stockings underneath because otherwise, it’s way too much of a sensory overload for me. Please tell me I’m not…

    Event – Paramore!

    A long time ago, I was a huge Twilight fan, possibly one of Australia’s largest. That was how I came to know of a band called Paramore. When I put on the CD to Twilight and heard ‘Decode’, I knew this was a band I’d love.  Their opening act was Remi Wolf. Honestly, I’d never heard of them before, but after a few songs, I was sold. Remi swore like an Australian and sang her heart out all whilst busting out some very fun dance moves with her band. Go check them out on Spotify.  Then came Paramore! They opened with ‘You First’ and the crowd went wild. It was…

    Outfit – Wear it Purple

    Wear it Purple Day was in August, a day to raise awareness and foster supportive, safe, empowering, and inclusive environments for the young LGBTIQA+ community in Australia. Turns out, I don’t own too much purple, despite it being up there in my favourite colours. The earrings arrived the day before, which seeing as I’d bought them on pre-order a few months before, was meant to be. I’d been a fan of Doodang & Fandango for years (like 10!) but could never afford the price. When they announced they were closing and had a sale, I spent ages deciding which pair to get. It was between these and the David Bowie…

    Blogging Renaissance

    After reading this post on Facebook by Very Excellent Habits about how she and Christina of Hair Romance missed blogging, I was inspired. Seriously, go read the post! I’ll wait. It got me thinking, and reminiscing. I’ve been around this here internet for a long time now. I’ve seen blogging rise and fall in popularity, watched micro-blogging become a thing, and videos become the next big craze. Gosh, it does kinda make me feel old.  I started sharing my life on the internet on Livejournal in 2001. I moved over to WordPress and opened Extra Large as Life in 2009 and rebranded to Natatree in 2017. That means, wow, 22…

    Two Years of Toby!

    Two years! Can you believe it?! Around this day 2 years ago, Craig and I went for a drive to a park in the Glass House Mountains, to meet a lady about a dog. We stood in the parking lot marveling at this teeny tiny puppy and decided yep, he’s my boy.  If you’ve been following me for A LONG time, you’d know all about Mr Frodo and how much he meant to me. How heartbroken I was when he passed. Then after some time, how much I wanted a dog. I even wrote a post “When all you want in life is a dog“. I’d been waiting a while,…
