Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Week
Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness week is the 1-7th of October. It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about my mental health, so now is the perfect time to do so. I am 30. Now that may not seem like a big deal to some people, but I remember a time when I didn’t think I’d make it to 18. The fact that I’ve made it to 30 just blows my mind. You see, I’ve struggled with life. I’ve not had a bad life, in fact, I’ve had a pretty easy life, but my head hasn’t made it easy for me. For as long as I remember, I’ve been a bit different. From…

On turning 30 (and a wishlist!)
Everyday I’m edging closer to the big Three-oh & I’m honestly not sure how i’m feeling about it. Scared, excited, nervous, anxious, proud, like i’ve failed, like i’ve succeeded. Lets just say, it’s been a bit of a roller-coaster but not all that many highs.

What’s in my bag!?
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a What’s in my bag post, and with the lack of outfit posts going on around here at the moment (sorry! My onesie isn’t all that interesting) I thought it would be a great time to do one. I LOOOOVE seeing what’s in other peoples bags, I think it’s because I grew up being told never to go into anyones bag, and I just find it fascinating to see what other people carry around. In an effort to not carry everything and my kitchen sink, ive downsized my bag recently. I’ve had this bag for yeeeeears now. It doesn’t have any tags anymore, but…

Some blasts from the past!
One thing about my laptop dying (RIP) is that ive had to boot up my oooold computer to try and get things done. Going over old images and outfit posts Id totally forgotten about has been a fun past time for me in the last week and I thought Id share some with you. I *think* I still have this dress. I need to hunt it down! I really want to re-create this outfit again! This was sooo many years ago now, in the lounge room of the house I grew up in. My parents no longer live there anymore. Some old header ideas for this blog! Back when I predominately…

This post was brought to you by Yellow Octopus & Shopping Links. It’s approaching that time of year again when a lot of people have to put their thinking cap on and figure out what to get their Mum for Mothers Day. It’s so hard to buy for my Mum as she already has many things and is trying to downsize, so this list is more based on my loves, if I was a Mum to something other than a cat! The items I chose all come from Yellow Octopus, who have a HUUUUGE range of gifts. Plus is you live in Melbourne, you can get it delivered same day*).…
