Snuggle up time

Winter is coming. This is definitely true and over the last couple of weeks I have found myself slowly turning my living room into a warm and comforting cocoon. On chilly nights I have found an excuse to drink hot chocolate with marshmallows and tune into my latest favourite shows on the television.

I've become completely addicted to The Americans, Vikings and Game of Thrones. Russian spies hiding in plain sight in America, ruthless female vikings who are scarier than the men and Jon Snow, oh my!

The only thing that would make my nights better is to wear a giraffe onesie. What are your creature comforts this winter?

Feel good Saturday

I'm shaking off the blues this week and reminding myself that its wonderful to be alive. So I'm celebrating by dancing around my living room to this music mix that I made. Wherever you are hope you are having a great saturday!

Etsy Love

Branching out from my normal posts I thought I'd try to share some of my favourite things found on one of my favourite sites, Etsy.  I'm an avid lover of all things handmade which means no suprises that I love this site. I find the quality of the products available are just second to none.You can literally find anything on this site. Here are some of my latest obsessions this month.

I fell in love with these Arya Earrings by LaurelHill instantly. They reminded me of a lovely pair that I bought whilst travelling in Prague. I lost one of the pair ages ago and have been dreaming of a suitable replacement ever since. These would be do quite nicely.



I cannot take my eyes off these Dinosaur leggings by eatmeclothing. It was really hard to just pick one favourite from this lady her designs are just so fricking cool!



These Washi Tape Bandaids by PrettyStrips are super adorable. As a Skater I find more bruises and grazes on my person than the average accident prone lady. I'd wear these dots and stripes like badges of honor.



Hope you liked some of my finds! xx

Mothers Day

Yesterday I spent a wonderful afternoon in the sunshine with my family celebrating Mothers Day. We enjoyed silly family stories over a lavish brunch. I am really lucky that I was able to share the day with both my Mum, Mum-in-law along with the extended family. My niece & nephews provided most of the entertainment whilst the rest of us organised brunch and the subsequent clean-up. If only every day could be that lovely.

Anyway, wishing all the wonderful Mums out there a lovely belated day!

Feel Good Friday

This weekend I'm preparing to fly to Melbourne to watch The Radeladies take on the Melbourne Northside Rollers in an epic Roller Derby battle not previously seen in this known Universe. The Radeladies are nice girls no longer. They have been training hard these past few months channelling their inner dark side & sinister booty blocks and have become the Radalliance.




Definition of Radalliance. (As confirmed by Urban Dictionary)

Rad An abbreviation of 'radical'--a term made popular by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Alliance People or groups that work together.

If you are in Melbourne this weekend come on down & check out some fun Roller Derby action. Tickets sold here. In the meantime enjoy this cheeky Star Wars inspired music mix to put some beats into your Friday.

May the Fourth be with you.
