A Very Vintage Bath time

September 6, 2021January 6, 2022Leave a comment

Bath time is my favourite time of day; I used to make Wednesday nights my bath night as it was the night my partner went out with his friends but as we all know, 2020 has changed many routines and plans. I no longer limit myself to one night a week for a bath and … Continue reading A Very Vintage Bath time

Testing Vintage: White Shoulders Powder

I dream of the day where I have my own home with a private boudoir room which I can spend some time primping and pampering myself. In my head, I am wearing a long and luscious pink gown, fluffy mule slippers and I am powdering my self with something beautiful and luxurious. I was indulging … Continue reading Testing Vintage: White Shoulders Powder

Going to a Korean Bathhouse

March 2, 2020March 2, 2020Leave a comment

    Yeah.... she saw my wobbly bits.  So last year, I ended up going to Sydney for two work events but they were about 6 days apart meaning that I had some time to spend doing whatever I wanted. I took this opportunity to just sit, relax and have some very much needed me-time … Continue reading Going to a Korean Bathhouse

Self Care Winter Tips

April 26, 2019April 25, 20192 Comments

Now that the temperature is slowly dropping, it's common to feel the effects of seasonal depression. Cold weather and shorter days can bring about a sadness that isn't always easy to snap out off especially after a fun-filled summer. But winter doesn't have to be all dark and gloomy; it's a great time to slow … Continue reading Self Care Winter Tips

Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
What are your weekend plans? I'm having an Endo flare up so if I manage to get up off the couch, that's me being productive. In spirit I'll be off adventuring ❤️
Is it weird to miss a certain fabric? I'm still obsessed with this yellow retro floral fabric from @pbsfabrics and I've already got it in green and soon to be pink. But, I want to make another dress out of the yellow. I know I'm on a fabric shopping ban but should I break it to get some more of this gorgeous yellow? It's just so pretty and I want it on a dress with sleeves! Thoughts?
Is everyone ready for Easter weekend? I'm not putting up my decorations this year due to renovations but I still have some Easter baking to do. Do you have an Easter tradition?
