Every Day Is Valentine's Day

AND PARIS AND EDINBURGH.

I am going on an exciting trip to these amazing cities with my bestie, Kate. I absolutely cannot wait! To make it even better, we are going in winter! I've experienced a European winter before and I absolutely loved it!

I've been super organised with the planning of the trip, even though it's months and months away. On reflection, I can only compare my organisation and excitement to one thing...

So you know that episode of Friends where they all go to London for Ross' wedding? Well I've decided that my trip with Kate will be like Joey and Chandler's experience. If you haven't seen the episode, watch the clip below.


Basically, I'll be Joey, the annoying and overly-excited one constantly taking photos and uploading them to Instagram while Kate will be Chandler, the one wishing I would shut the hell up.

Of course Kate will be really excited! She won't be as sarcastic as Chandler, but she will definitely tell me to calm down. Personally, I think being a "Joey" is so much better. So Kate, if you read this....be more of a "Joey" by the time our trip comes around!

What kind of traveler are you? A Joey or a Chandler?

"Bad bitches are taking over the world" - A quote from the book, #GIRLBOSS, that really stood out to me and NOT because I'm a bad bitch. Well....

For me, "bad bitches" refers to those who fight for what they want, work hard and kick ass in whatever they do. I'd like to think that I'm somewhat THAT kind of bad bitch. To be successful, I think it's imperative to be a "bad bitch".

Look, I'm just going to put it out there...I absolutely hate shopping for jeans! I'm sure I'm not the only one. It's so frustrating trying to find the right pair, especially when they need to be a certain colour, cut and style! In my case, I needed a specific type of jeans for work.

My checklist to find the perfect jeans:

1. Black (jeans that preferably won't fade)

2. Skinny Jeans

3. Stretchy (as stretchy as possible without being leggings)

4. Mid-rise (high waisted jeans were going to be too uncomfortable to move around/act in all day and low rise....i don't want a muffin top)

5. Preferably crop (I have short legs and I don't want a pair of jeans that could double up as shoes and they also need to be tight around the ankles)

6. Look good and comfortable (some jean brands look great on, some don't)

Yes, quite a specific list, but hey! Surely I can find a pair of black skinny, mid-rise, cropped jean, that are quite stretchy and don't make women's legs look like dumplings? WRONG.

So about a week ago I attended the Miranda Sings concert at Brisbane Powerhouse. If you don't know who Miranda Sings is, please go and check her out:
