Femme FitaleLeave a Comment on Homemade Hand Cream Recipes

We do everything to pamper our skin and hair but often ignore the hands which do a lot of work and speak about your general health. Hands are on display as much as the face needs special care and attention. Hands say a lot about a person and research has shown that 80% of people look at hands when meeting someone new. So, taking proper care of our hands is equally important to maintain a complete healthy look. read more

It’s been a little while since I’ve done a Monthly Faves post, but it seemed like a nice and concise way to recap October: our last month as a family of 3!

It’s definitely my favourite time of year in Queensland. read more

Foto Recap: Weekend In Byron Bay

Femme FitaleLeave a Comment on Foto Recap: Weekend In Byron Bay

We enjoyed a lovely Labour Day long weekend over the past few days here in Australia. Adam and I decided it would be nice to get away for a couple of nights before our parenting duties double. In our 2+ years here in Brisbane, we’ve seen a fair bit of the Sunshine and Gold coasts, but one place we hadn’t spent any time was Byron Bay. A town renown for its beaches, backpackers and bohemian style, we had a great couple of days roaming around this little beachside gem. Our last mini getaway as a family of three! read more

What I Ate Wednesday: The Melbourne Edition

Femme FitaleLeave a Comment on What I Ate Wednesday: The Melbourne Edition

Today we were back to our regular routine after 3 great days in Melbourne! It was pretty cold, and probably not the greatest time of year to visit what is oftentimes referred to as ‘the world’s most liveable city’, but with me being gone to Canada for 5.5 weeks in July and August, and our new little one on the way in November, we figured we might not get a chance to check off this Aussie bucket list city for some time. Plus, we thought it would be fun to get away to celebrate this old girl hitting her big 3-0. read more

What My Twenties Taught Me

Femme FitaleLeave a Comment on What My Twenties Taught Me

This is it! My last weekend as a 20-something woman. In some ways, it feels like this decade has come and gone in the blink of an eye. I remember my 20th birthday like it was yesterday. Actually, no…who am I kidding? That’s totally a lie. I actually have very foggy recollections of that particular celebration, but I suppose that’s simply indicative of all the fun we had on June 30th, ’04! 😉 read more
