The Unfashionable Side of Christmas…
Has the Christmas hustle and bustle caught up with you yet- or are you ready and as cool as can be? I think that organisation is key, that’s for sure. But more than that, is to have a serene and organised state of mind. To be at peace that "all is well". For years I’ve... Continue Reading →
Big Dogs Get a Bad Rap: Lifestyle over 50
Getting a dog during your middle years is an important decision. Often, we get a puppy when our kids are young- and we have the energy to potty train...and the rest that goes along with a new pup in the house.

Sunday’s Sightseeing Post: Remembering Slovenia…
I didn't get a chance to post much while in Slovenia- as my daughter's figure skating competition was the only thing on my mind. Ahh Ljubljana! (pronounced Lubliana). I loved this bustling yet quaint little city! The people were very friendly and hospitable (and everyone speaks English- thankfully! The food was fine- although I have... Continue Reading →
Vintage – Only Gets Better with Age
Due to fast fashion, the Vintage rule has now changed from 50 years to 10. Meaning that if you bought something in, say, 2008, it can now be called one of your vintage collectibles. But let's be clear here, unless it's a sentimental piece or a high quality item, we can't just be calling any... Continue Reading →
