It’s been a bit of a whirlwind few months since we popped up to Sydney to stay at the Novotel Darling Square for a sneaky little photo shoot collaboration with Leo! We had a blast doing the shoot, but was most excited to have the opportunity to stay semi-regularly at our fav hotel in the best part of the city (and to bring you all the best things to do with a Toddler in the CBD – follow up blog…
We love to get away on mini breaks, it’s amazing how just getting out of the house for even one night recharges the battery and feeds the desire to explore. A couple of weeks ago we were lucky enough to be invited to check out Novotel Darling Square for a little mid-week getaway with Leo. It’s been more than a decade since I’ve visited this pocket of the city and I was blown away with how it’s changed. The location…
Mitch and I recently had the privilege of staying at Quay West Suites Sydney for a special pre-baby staycay. It’s a special window of time for us, with bub only 8 weeks away we’re making the most of time together. Enjoying each other’s company without distraction, eating at beautiful restaurants without looking at the time, sleep-ins, and the little things like grabbing an overnight bag and just walking out the door not to return for a couple of days. Quay…
What a huge year! I can’t actually believe it’s over and with 2018 only days away I thought I’d share with you what’s coming for the new year… Well, lots! We’ve got wheels in motion for all sorts of fun and games with more property developments and travel, but what I wanted to share with you here is what you can expect to see & read across the blog & my socials. It’s time to set some intentions, and propel…
There are lots of positives to being a freelancer and working from home, but the one major downside is that my home is also my workplace and I spend more hours on my desk chair at home than what I ever spent in the office. That being the case it’s nice to get away, even if only for a night (and even if I do take my laptop lol). Last week hubs and I took off from the South Coast for…
Thanks for visiting my Guide to Santorini! I’ve wanted to go to Santorini for as long as I can remember. It was always my dream destination, the place I had as number one on my bucket list.

I’m a big fan of the Pullman Hotel group, I’ve stayed with them in Sydney, Bali and now the Pullman Auckland Hotel in NZ. I had been in NZ for Fashion Week 2016 and finished off my stay at the 5 star Pullman Auckland, which was a welcome end to a chaotic week. We stayed for two nights and while hubby ventured out for a day on the water for a fishing trip with mates I thoroughly enjoyed the down…
At this point our Norway Leg was coming to an end, we’d seen Tromso & Sommaroy and had 2 nights in Oslo before flying out to Dubrovnik and we wanted to see as much as we could in that short period of time, so we arranged a day tour which covered most of the major sights of Oslo. Here are the things you must do in Oslo… WHAT TO DO IN OSLO Do A Day Tour The tour (which was…
This is where our experience of Norway far surpassed anything I’d ever anticipated. We arrived at the Arctic Hotel on the 14th of July, Summer, 9 degrees, excited for our friends wedding which was to be held at the hotel on the weekend. In the lead up to the trip we were told that the sun never sets during Summer, and we experience that in Tromso, but we’d also heard and that there’s something called the Midnight Sun. I didn’t…
