Crushing on....

Do you ever get so obsessed with something that it's all you can think about? For an example a song, a dress, a culture or a food. I do. A lot. So I thought to help my obsession or to maybe even get me over my current obsessions I thought I would share them.


  • Food - Avocado and Feta Mash. Simple and oh so tasty. Just mash an avocado together with crumbled feta  Serve on toast, with tortilla chips, as a dish with poached eggs. Almost anywhere. Try adding extras like lemon juice, chopped tomatoes or fresh herbs. If you are in Melbourne head to Moulin Noir in Port Melbourne who do a mean version.
  • Movie - So I am going to cheat here and go with a franchise of AMAZING movies. Fast & The Furious. Absolutely obsessed with these. and there is a new one out, Fast & Furious 6. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker,  fast cars and non stop action. Do I need to say more? Looking forward to seeing it this week
  • Song - Oh so hard to pick one but going with my movie theme it would have to be We Own It by 2Chainz as part of the Fast & Furious 6 soundtrack. Loving tis track. Beats rock and the lyrics appeal to my current mood of just going for it. This has had a work out on my IPod this week.
  • Designer - Elie Saab. Loving the l Haute Couture Fall Winter 13-14 looks. The website background is actually the footage from the show. Check it out. 
  • Online Shopping - Way too many pretty pieces to be found at Temple & Webster. They showcase pop up sales that last a week with new ones daily from various designers and stores all in one place. Check it out, but be warned that it can be addictive and therefore expensive.
  • Blog - La Dolce Vita. Paloma has this unique take on interiors and fashion that i just love. The great things is that she also gives you options to recreate the looks complete with links to buy. I love her style and voice.

Just a few of my current obsessions. I hope you check them out and enjoy as much as I am currently.

You Only Have One Life - Soundtrack

Autumn Sunrise and a Surprise

Another beautiful autumn sunrise this morning. Every day I see these balloons, I remind myself that one day I want to take a trip and see the city from the quiet spot in a balloon. One day.... Sunrise from my balcony And on another sunny note - drum roll please............. I have a new job!! Yippee. A wonderful moment happened on my birthday Friday where I got a call to say all the hard work and effort I put in applying and interviewing have paid off. Woo Hoo. So it was double celebration with toasts for me and my new role. More details on that to come as I draw closer to my start date. Needless to say a weight has been lifted and I feel that I am moving forward rather than treading water. A feel some baking coming on to celebrate. Hope you are having a wonderful morning. xxx

Sunset - Sydney

I was lucky enough last week to spend 3 days in Sydney with the rest of my Fundraising Management Team at a conference. It was great to finally put faces to names and voices that I have been chatting yo and working with for the last 12 months. Loads of information, great ideas and networking. Such an inspiring bunch. We worked out between us 20 individuals we have 138 years experience in Fundraising! Amazing. No wonder we are going great guns! On Tuesday night after a massive day were were treated to an amazing sunset cruise with dinner and drinks on the Harbour. (Thank you Barter Card for your loyalty points system for the free trip!) I managed to get some great shots of the sunset over iconic Sydney. The Opera House The Sydney Harbour Bridge Thank you Sydney for the most amazing weather! xxx
