I just heard the most vile, cruel comment, that even 24 hours later makes my blood boil and my toes squirm like some witch from a play. This wasn’t even a backwards compliment the “oh she has a lovely face, she’d be gorgeous if she lost some weight”. Nope it was even worse. A total […]

Its funny how you can go from having a dollar in your old wallet with the seams fraying (damn I loved it though) to ordering your dream bag from Net-a-Porter and waiting while they get the correct shade of tan just for you. This is how the past three years have been for us in […]

I’m not quite sure when it happened, seemly overnight, that I accepted the fact my little Ari is growing up and will be off to school next year. I thought I would come to this day kicking and screaming but as we reach this new stage of her life, there are so many new experiences […]

Twenty four hours of hell followed by three days of recovery. Time I don’t have with Ari’s party speeding up alongside Rainbow lane.   Thank God Maxalon is over the counter, bad news is how doped up it makes me feel. Probably not even making much sense right now. Although I am enjoying an unprecedented […]
