  • Every time I come back to New Zealand and find myself reunited with family and friends, I seem to take an unintentional couple of days off social media .. 😴📱 Much as I love the platforms and the way they can be used, I don’t think it’s all that bad when life and it’s more important moments take over. In fact, it’s quite refreshing. 🌿 It means I’m finally slowing down and switching off; both an unprecedented and an active choice I’m making each day by refusing to plan or commit myself to much at all. Whilst the pace of Melbourne is something I’ve left behind for a while, I must say I’d have happily brought the brunch and the coffee. 🤓 I’ve decided that few cities do both specialties quite like Melbourne — similar to how few cafes do a smoothie bowl quite like @naughtyboycafe. 👏🏻 Honestly, that colour! I can’t get over it. There’s one way to find the tropics in a city with weather far more unpredictable. ✨ Sunday doesn’t feel like Sunday without such a signature feed, but hey — I’m sure there’s many more where that came from in 2019! ☕️ For now, this whole taking it slow thing.. I’m not actually hating. 😂 I even spilt water on my keyboard last night — and I’m not even sure it still works [I’m currently employing Wikihow’s advice]. Regardless, I can’t find it in me to be all that mad. Life is what it is, and so is stress — we can choose what to do with it. As for stress, I have well and truly left it behind, folks. 🙌🏻 It feels good. It feel daaaamn good.
  • A fitting Christmas gift courtesy of @penguinrandomhouse, to top off the presents we shared yesterday eve.. 🎁📔 @a_jaxcreative and I woke early this morning with time to flick through this character-filled read. Wellington the size it is, it wasn’t difficult to recognise familiar faces as well as favoured destinations of our old city: @customsbrews [the best filter coffee ☕️], @midnight_espresso_wlg [the nachos and “spuds” that got @anniestrachan and I through first year 🌮🥔] and @scopa [which got me through the darker days with their pure hot chocolates 🍫]. So nice to have a taste of the place we met, and the city in which I arguably grew the most, in our little home in Melbourne. 👏🏻
  • Mixed emotions tonight for our last night in Melbourne for a while.. 😫😄 Early tomorrow morning, @a_jaxcreative will board a flight to Wellington; myself to Auckland until the end of December. 🌿 It wouldn’t have felt right to part ways without a few special date nights beforehand, starting with one of our favourite ways to spend time together: eating. Or more to the point, eating carbs. 🤣 The other night we headed to @carosello in Moonee Ponds for a completely vegan Italian spread [needless to say we’re not all that fancy and ordered pizza bread to start, pizzas to follow and some sensational gelato to finish 😋]. This was undoubtedly one of the best spots I’ve been to for vegan dins in Melbourne, and a wonderful way to spend time together [special mention to the several G&Ts]. . . Tonight, we’ll follow our Carosello date with what we’re calling the “Jollins Christmas”! 🎉🎊 I’m still not sure if I’m entirely convinced by the fusion, but it’s slightly more jolly [no pun intended 🤓] than “Collinson Christmas” which I originally suggested. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Today is pretty special, not only because I’m getting gifts [lol] but because today is the anniversary of when I [yes, I] first said I love you to A.J! 💁🏽‍♀️ You better believe I still give him a hard time for the fact that I took the ballsy move; absolutely threw my heart on the line and well, pretty much got us to where we are today. 😂😏 My advice: if you feel it, say it! And if ya can’t say it, have a few wines at your work Christmas party, stumble into a bush.. AND THEN SAY IT! 🤣 But only if he comes and rescues you. It’s all a test really. 😉 Merry early Christmas errybody!
  • And so the time has come.. 🥂 A massive congratulations to the winner of my first festive season giveaway... @leiladyleiblog! ✨ I know you’ll simply love styling your new Camberwell tee and the Fitzroy cap by @gracethelabel! 🌻 Thanks to everyone who entered — it was super adorable reading why and who you’re #currentlyloving! 💕 Stay tuned for the next giveaway coming sooooon! 🎉 In the meantime, don’t forget to check out the gorgeous @gracethelabel who sponsored this giveaway — her super timely and flattering designs make her one to watch, both within and beyond Melbourne! 👏🏻 On that note, cheers to you lucky thang, @leiladyleiblog! 🙌🏻
  • Counting down the days until we finally wind down for the year.. 🌿 and the hours until I announce the winner of my first Christmas GIVEAWAY with @gracethelabel! ✨ If you haven’t entered yet, head over to the 7th post on my page [look for me dangling my legs off a bench-top and you’re in the right place]. 👏🏻 I’ll be announcing the winner at 5pm this eve! So go on, give ya self the chance at an early Chrissy present! 🙏🏻 Giveaway is applicable WORLDWIDE. Much love — and for now, best of luck for powering through another Wednesday! The end is in sight, I promise! 😉
  • Not your usual Saturday night-in.. 😅 . . This Saturday, I opted out of evening drinks for the more festive [and more timely] activity of wrapping Christmas presents! ✨ I remember thinking to myself: it’s cool, wrapping should take just a half hour or so — after which I’ll be able to tick off another task from the to-do list that’s been drowning me. 😅 Over 2 hours later, I’m still bloody tying ribbon and cutting off tags! How can I be so sure that I spent a whopping 2.5 hours wrapping presents? Why, because I chucked on the Shane Dawson X Jeffree Star series — and whilst I was convinced I might watch only a single part, I wound up watching the whole 5 part series [which was great by the way, heavily recommend if you also missed it when it was first released]. 🤣 Let this be a warning to anyone who is planning to wrap their presents last-minute: much like last-minute shopping, this part also takes far longer than one would think! . The point is it’s done now.. and I’m so damn excited, I’d have everyone unwrap my hours of work in a minute! 😉 Here’s a sneak peek as to what’s underneath these brown paper packages [@a_jaxcreative and I either think we’re as vintage as the people of Fitzroy or that we’re meant to be in The Sound of Music].. 🤷🏽‍♀️ @crabtreeandevelyn_aus have some of the most gorgeous bath, body and gourmet food gifts this year! If you’re running out of ideas, this collection is perfect for ticking off as many family members and friends at once! 🙏🏻 After all, most people love a good gingerbread man — and a girl can’t say no to an ocean-inspired lotion. 👏🏻 @a_jaxcreative and I are hosting a mini Christmas before we depart ways [😥] this Wednesday eve, and it’s safe to say ya girl is counting down the minutes! 🤣 Happy Monday everyone!
  • How I’m heading into the week tomorrow: with a determined mindset and a serious few cups of coffee.. 🤓☕️ I got a loooot to do before I leave for NZ on Thursday! Something I look for in my favourite cafes is bottomless filter; it compliments any working morning so well! 🙏🏻 When I’m not busy brunching at @bentwoodfitzroy — I took Mum here the morning before she left back to NZ at 7.30am; thank goodness Bentwood opens early on the weekends — it’s one of my go-to working cafes on the weekdays too. 👏🏻 I’m far more inspired by an environment with a little hustle and bustle, people coming and going.. than by the silence or stagnancy I might get at home. Share with me your tips: I’d love to hear!! ✍🏻 How do you motivate yourself for a busy new week ahead?👇🏻
  • I was walking to an event earlier this week, when I saw a young woman crying on the side of the road. She was pacing and looked stressed. I watched her as she approached a passerby. I soon realised she was signalling for a phone. The passing woman followed her apology with a single word: no. She didn’t offer an excuse or reasoning. To her, the two letter word must have been enough. And whilst she walked on, her word did not follow. It held onto the air as the only indicator necessary: that to save herself here, had been more valuable than to save another. A stranger. I began to make my way closer to this crying woman, who now faced the road instead of the path. It seemed she’d sacrificed her pride one too many times; she’d been let down by humanity just as many. And now, she appeared to be accepting her fate. I started to think about why the previous woman had said no. About why it may have been a smart decision. As if straight from my naive heart, I heard myself speaking anyway: “Are you okay?” She turned to me, still sobbing; concern knotting her eyebrows. “Can I borrow your phone”, she asked. Without thinking, I handed it to her, and she began to dial a number. I wondered if I should be worried: what if I’ve fallen into some trap and she’s about to run off with it? I tried to think in a way someone more sensible might. But if she IS about to do that, I thought, it’s too late. I’ve already given her my phone. Weirdly enough, I was ready to accept this might be how I lose it. A moment later, she handed my phone back to me. “They’re not answering,” she said, thanking me anyway. I apologised, as she turned to walk the other way. I had not helped. I was no hero that day — and yet, it felt better to know I’d tried. Isn’t that what the festive season is about, after all? Giving? And caring? Don’t get me wrong, I understand why the other woman walked away. We’re faced with a similar debate almost everyday. I suppose I’ve accepted that I may one day face the repercussions of my naivety. Of allowing myself to act with hope for the best in people. For the many times, our worry is unjustified and people are good — it’ll be worth it to have been a good person back.
  • T H E ☕️ B R U N C H 🍴 S E R I E S The weekend is here — and so naturally, the brunch series has recommenced! 👏🏻 It may be a busy time of year but if there’s one thing we’ll make time for, it’s a good avo smash. 🤣 Took Mum and her partner back to one of my favourites, @snowwhitemelb, when she was here! 💕 Without noticing, we ordered the exact same meals that A.J. and I had the first time: Happy, Grumpy and Sneezy! 😜 Satisfied as always with this sweet spot, not far beyond the city. 🌿 After brunch today, I’m off to do my final bits of Christmas shopping before I head back to NZ next week! Can’t believe how quickly time has passed. 😅 But a break is in sight and so are several screenings of Elf! 😉 Here’s to the weekend and to many festive times to come! 🙌🏻 #mybodyisready

    5 ways I’m looking after myself this Spring.

    October 23, 2018 /

    If you've been following my Instagram, you'll know that I was recently struck by the inter-seasonal flu. I use the term 'struck' quite intentionally: it really was that devastating for me. The good news is, it's set me on a newly-inspired path towards health and wellness for Spring.
