Creating a Culture of Ick.

I don’t normally weigh in on such things as the politics of sport, but well, it hit me in the face and cannot help but be commented on. There are probably no answers here for those seeking them. Perhaps Googling them such is the desperation. Australia wants to know, when the hell did our sports [...]

Intimidation factor.

Thumbnail image for Intimidation factor.

I’m pretty scary. Trust me. People in my office have told me so. Many people over the course of my life have told me so. I’m intimidating. Luckily, these days it’s when I want to invoke that impression. I have some control. The other day there were two teenagers having a domestic in a bus [...]

Aussie Curves: Green {She Wore What}

May 27, 2013
Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves: Green {She Wore What}

For a really long time {okay, a few years} I wore my hair a golden shade of copper which pretty much ruled out wearing green at all, surprisingly. Clearly my faux red headed’ness was evident to the colour gods. Because of this I just don’t own much green at all. Luckily I realised when looking [...]

It’s oh so quiet…

You know how the song goes. …It’s oh so still. Shhh. Well it’s a bit quiet our lives at the moment. We go to work, we snuggle on the couch, we sleep and start the day again. It’s nice actually. We’ve had a few big weekends in a row. There’s nothing like being at home [...]

My husband is my best friend… Cue gag.

Thumbnail image for My husband is my best friend… Cue gag.

I always rolled my eyes when people said they married their best friend or their spouse is their best friend. Cue the gag motion and much judgemental sniggering. I didn’t get it. Didn’t they KNOW any other people? Have other friends? Really? How sad for them. Honestly I thought that half of those people were lying. The [...]

Sequins week sort of crept up on me. I don’t wear a lot of sparkle and would normally have picked up something from Liv’s wardrobe while I was at her place. It turns out, we went one better! Her birthday party was this weekend just gone and it was DISCO themed. Hello sequins, big hair [...]

Brought to you by Target Australia.  There is one thing that brings my family out of the wood works and that’s pizza night. Roll out some dough, laden it with cheese and hey presto they’re all over you like flies. Interesting factoid Suger, you may be thinking, but what’s it doing in a Target post? [...]

Thumbnail image for Do you read blogs? You know, other than this one right this very minute.

I joined a Blog Chicks group on Facebook a week or two ago now. It’s a place for bloggers to have their questions answered, chat blogs and just, you know, hang out. It was early days in the group so there were a lot of introductions happening. SO many great blogs and woman roll calling. As it [...]

Saturday when I packed my bags to head to Liv’s disco party I had to put together an outfit for our day spa adventure, organised by the team at Blog Power events, yesterday. I packed two outfits, this one and a peplum, stripe skirt thing that I’d planned to wear if I could be bothered [...]

Last night we went to the show here in Gympie. I decided to take my camera because I just knew all the lights and colours would be WAY too great to miss. And they were! I decided to share some photos here because once again I’m not that motivated to write anything. Meh. Long weekends [...]

Goooood morning you gorgeous things!  It’s a bit of a late start here this morning. It’s show day here in Gympie and I slept in. I snuggle myself around my ridiculously gorgeous Hubby and enjoyed the slow start to the morning. I woke up with an idea of what I would wear today. I’d been looking [...]

Running through my mind.

Thumbnail image for Running through my mind.

It’s a tough game this running thing. I’ve become quite dependent on my brother to not only keep me accountable but to push me onwards. I’ve been scared to be really truthful about it. Scared I won’t do it, scared I’ll let myself down, scared of actually injuring myself and scared that maybe I’m just [...]

Well this post has been a little while coming. I’ve been looking for a suitable pair of boyfriend jeans for a while now. A month or so ago ASOS went nuts and was all of a sudden covered in them. Then I had to choose whether I wanted ripped ones, dark ones or lighter washed [...]

Aussie Curves: Leather, sort of. {She Wore What}

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves: Leather, sort of. {She Wore What}

I’ve never really been interested in leather as far as clothing goes. Handbags, yes. Shoes, certainly. But skirts, pants and jackets, naaaah not really. I blame that episode of Friends when Ross wears leather pants and sweats up a storm in them, takes them off and can’t get them back on. It created a bit [...]

Sponsored by Colgate Australia. Well good evening Sugers and welcome to the event you have ALL been waiting for. Or are sick to death of by now, I’m not sure. The launch of a new slim bristle toothbrush from Colgate Australia prompted me to step out on a rather skinny branch. My video acting début. [...]

Thumbnail image for The clickity clack of keys.

I wrote a whole post once about grammar and spelling snobs only to find that the interwebs was alive with people complaining of the lacklustre nature of bloggers these days. I decided not to publish it because who wants to be accused of lacklustre blogging. Not I said the fly. But maybe that was the [...]
