I'm not one for large crowds, period. Add shoppers Christmas fever into the mix and I'll run away screaming for the hills! Being an online shopper myself, I intend to do a large amount of my gift buying online to save time, money (and sanity). Since I like to buy local wherever possible, my first point of call is usually BrisStyle . I'm a member of this group which is for Etsy sellers in Brisbane and the surrounding areas. They put out regular gift guides that make it super easy to find something special for your friends and family. Buying from mico-businesses makes me happy, being one myself I understand how exciting it is to see an order come through! I'm also a sucker for adorable home wares & jewellery. Check out these super cute finds!

Goooood morning! Well, I'm finally back in Australia after long delays with our flights. By the time we finally got home last night, I was far too knackered to hop on the computer and re-open the stores so I was up from 6am working this morning to get everything taken care of. I'm still working through updating listings so please bare with me for just a little longer <3 I just wanted to explain some changes I'm making to my online stores as it probably looks a little confusing from my customers perspective.

This was partly so I had a little more control over the design of the store and the information I could put onto the site. The largest reason was because it's becoming very expensive to sell on Etsy due to listing fees & commissions from each sale, plus the constant site and content changes that aren't being properly rolle...

Our trip is almost at an end, it'll be sad to go but we're dying to see our fur-babies again <3 This will be a big update, here we go! Brad went skiing again on Sunday but my bruises hadn't yet healed from the unforgiving ski boots, so I gave it a miss. Instead, I had breakfast in the park, feed the seagulls and indulged in a customised facial at  Body Sanctum  to help repair my dry & tortured cold weather skin. I treated myself to a fancy cleanser from  La Clinica  - it's really nice! Organic with no animal testing, gotta love that. Brad took a few tumbles while skiing so the next day, we went back to  Body Sanctum  for a float as they can help with minor injuries *and* an hour float is equal to 4hrs sleep. Have you heard of floatation tanks before? They're AWESOME! I had one years ago and it was one of the most bizarre experiences of my life. I could hear myself blink, I heard my heart beating and the blood pumping in m...
