My Top 5 90s Crushes
It's no secret that I'm a total 90s child and love all things 90s. Of the three and a bit decades I've experienced so far, the "culture" of the 90s is by far my favourite. I've already written about my 90s fashion fails, my favourite 90s board games, my 90s singing career, and one of my favourite songs from the 90s.

On Overcoming Fear (and bugs!)
I wrote this post a month ago and then something shit happened. I didn't finish it because it seemed so trivial when someone I loved was hurting and so I wrote this emo post instead. But a month has passed and I thought it was time to finish what I started that dark, gloomy night...
Frozen.
Heart starts thumping.
Blood pressure rises.
Skin crawls.
Breath quickens.
Nerve endings tingle with a singular, frantic, message...

So that ^^ happened on Tuesday night. Zee choked. And choked badly. Scared the shit out of me and took about 10 years off my life. Like I can really afford to lose those 10 years with all the crap I got up to in my 20s!

Let's Talk About Blogging: How do YOU read blogs?
There was so much to take in, as there always is at one of these events, and I will most definitely share some of what I learnt in later posts. But a few things that were mentioned in passing got me thinking about how I read blogs, and how you guys read my blog.
I've had this post sitting in my drafts folder for ages now, about 6 months. It came to me

Monday Mini-Rant - F&%king "Fashion" and Why I'll never be a fashion blogger
The other day I went to the shops to try and find something to wear to the #voicesof2014 blogging masterclass. And lemme tell ya, it was an effing depressing experience!

If I die tomorrow...
I was looking in my desk for a notebook on Tuesday night. I have so many, I've been obsessed with stationery for a very long time (why oh why were there no stationery stores around when I was a teenager?!) and I knew that I would most likely have an unused one somewhere.
I found a nice purple one that looked fresh. One I got from work when we had excess samples. I pulled it out and grabbed a pen, thinking to utilise it for making notes on some of the design stuff I've been doing for my own blog and others.
When I opened it to the first page I discovered that it had in fact been used. What I found written on the first two pages surprised me. I'd completely forgotten writing those words. But as I read them, all of the thoughts and emotions I'd felt at the time came rushing back to me.

Sydney, how I love thee...
Last week I was lucky enough to get in to the city to finally use a gift voucher that I got last year for Endota Spa (I literally used it the day it expired!). I've never been there before and it was really nice. To be honest, I've never been to a day spa that wasn't nice!
I absolutely love the city and this spa was at The Rocks, an absolutely beautiful part of Sydney that I just don't get to spend enough time in. Walking around with a coffee afterwards really made me miss my days of working on Bathurst Street in my early 20s. And then I remembered the travel and I was more than happy to be able to work so close to home now. When I'm not on maternity leave that is!
I took all of these photos on my iPhone. I did have my big camera with me but forgot to grab it out of the car, but the iPhone did the job, it's hard to make Sydney look bad.

Eight Months - Zee
My beautiful girl is 8 months old. Eight whole months this stunning creature has been with us earth side, but sometimes it feels like it's only been eight minutes. She has the most amazing eyes, they bore right in to you. They follow you around the room. And then, when she smiles, they light up with pure sunshine.

And the Inaugural Tosser Trophy goes to...
Back when the awesome Good Golly Miss Holly was still blogging (*sob* I miss her so much!) she would do a post every now and then and hand out what she called an Asshat Award. I've decided that it's time to pick up where she left off as the internet is totally lacking in crazy people ranting about douche canoes and dickheads right? *insert sarcasm font here*.
So from now on whenever the notion takes me, and there is a dickhead in need of acknowledging, I will be presenting, for your reading pleasure, The Tosser Trophy. That's right, a trophy specially designed by yours truly to acknolwedge the hard work of certain individuals, groups or companies, who have excelled in their studies and finally obtained their Dickhead Degree.
