    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,…

    Christmas Lustlist (Shop Local Australia)

    It’s heading towards Christmas time, so I thought I should do a round-up of some things I’d love for Santa to drop off. This year, I’m focusing on shopping for local Australian brands and small businesses. Billsons – 2023 Advent Calender – $160 || This one is a bit different for me as I don’t drink very often. I have some of Billsons cordials and I’ve tried a few of their vodka mixes and well, I kind of want to try them all! What better way to try some, than the advent calendar? I may just end up getting a mixed box one day. Mermaid Salon – Mother of Hades…
