Jodi Picoult is one of those authors you either love or you hate and it really depends on personal preference. I, however, adore her books and devour them in usually just a few sittings. Leaving Time was no different and actually had probably one of the most surprising ends of any of her books. 4 out […]
Watches: Bargain Buys
When it comes to shopping I love it, but I also am a big fan of saving money. I’m not a penny pincher but there’s nothing I love more than a good deal. Because of this one of my favorite places to go when I need something (or don’t) is an op shop (or a charity shop […]
A Nation At War With Itself
Although this blog is not a platform for my political ideas I feel compelled to write something in light of recent events relatively close to home and I want this blog to cover many aspects of life, not just the frivolous things, but the hardships too. Life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, for there to be […]
Black Magic Cake
I’m all about the baked goods the past couple of days if you can’t tell. But I love to eat and I love to eat bad food. And even better if I make it myself! I’m big on cookies, but there’s nothing more satisfying than cake. One of my biggest pet peeves are dry cakes […]
Chewy Cocoa Cookies
I’m a huge fan of cocoa powder. Not really for any reason except I can get a whole box of cocoa powder for the same price as a bar of chocolate here in Australia, so it’s much better value to make recipes that use it instead. I noticed though that very few actually exist […]
Sea Salt Cocoa Cookies
I really love salt and I’m not ashamed to admit it’s bizarre. I’m one of those people who actually lick the rim of a margarita glass clean. People joke that I should eat things directly out of the dead sea, so it’s no surprise that left to my own devices I made a cookie recipe that […]
Thai Meatballs in Peanut Sauce
Photo credit: Jo Cooks The past few days have been pretty pathetic on my end with cooking. It’s not been fantastic weather it’s just been the kind of days where all you want is to curl up with a warm drink and watch Netflix all day long. Monday night I ordered Chinese food because I […]
How to be a Tourist in Your Own City
We all do it. Go about our daily lives with our usual routine and take the city we live in for granted, but there’s something to be said for being a tourist in your own city. Before you go, “Come on Hannah, I live here, I’ve seen it all,” hear me out. I grew up […]
Jeans for Petite Women
I’m really short, and although I tell people I’m 5′ I’m not, I’m really 4’10.5 That half inch matters to me, ok? Because of this I’ve always struggled finding jeans that fit me, even in petite sizes. It always seemed like petite was still for someone taller than me (who are these Amazon-like women and where […]
