I know this might be a step too far but just hear me out for a minute or 2! Pretty please. I’ve been using natural deodorants (chemical and toxin free) for a couple of years. And to be honest they haven’t really worked. Plus I’m allergic to the one everyone raves about (Axilla by Black […]

Party girl vs health nut (and my new weekly challenge)
This is my biggest struggle. I LOVE a few drinks. But I really don’t like feeling dusty the next day. I love laughing with friends and fabulous food and amazing wine. Or a few cheeky G&Ts. Or a special scotch or some beautiful cocktails. I adore champagne. BUT I have so much fun I forget to stop. […]
REVIEW: Iris – the movie
Iris is the story of Iris Apfel – a 93yo woman living in New York City in 2013. She became famous for being an interior designer during her lifetime but is now a huge fashion icon. I’m not particularly into fashion. I like a bit of quirky and that’s about as far as it goes […]
5 takeouts from the $10 per day weekly challenge
I waste a lot of money I generally spend without being really conscious of my spending. Actually focussing on every single dollar and what is important really makes you realise you don’t need a lot of the things you actually buy. There is no reason I couldn’t do this once a month with a little […]
An important plea to myself about resting
Dear Wendy You are ALLOWED to rest and relax and do nothing. This is not a crime. Today you did take some books back because you had been overcharged (usually you would just let it go), you did sleep in, you did eat fairly healthy food, you did go alcohol free, you did manage to […]

Do you really and truly love money
Yes, of course I do, you say. Who doesn’t love money? But here’s the thing. Do you actually treat your money with love? No, of course not, it’s a thing not a person. But what if we respected our money and did treat it with love? What if we thanked it for all the amazing […]
A weekly challenge game
Because if it’s a game, it’s got to be fun, right? I’m thinking if we set ourselves a challenge each week, big or small, we will be able to achieve some big things this year. Each week’s results would add up. And of course it will look good on my whiteboard. We all need a […]
Loving or loathing lists
Do you love a list – writing it, ticking things off and feeling a huge sense of achievement? Do you hate a list – having to write it, not ticking everything off and then feeling like you have failed? Do you resent a list – don’t tell me what to do little piece of paper […]
The anguish of striving for perfection
Do many of us still suffer from this? Are we still totally focussed on having the perfect body, the perfect relationship, the perfect career, the perfect family, the perfect house and the perfect balance in life? We are striving for something that doesn’t exist. Oh no, you say? That’s not you. Do you see yourself as […]
