Have a great holiday season, happy new year and all the best for 2025!

90s movie stars - the beautiful women didn't all look the same. We've been watching a few 90s movies lately and it shows how the movies these days are so unoriginal. All sequels, remakes or a "something" universe. Ugh

Sorry for late reply! - yes I totally agree I'm sick of everyone looking that same these days. Online that is, most people IRL look lovely and different. I saw that the top ten movies from last year were all sequels. So disappointing.

Enjoy enjoy. I love seeing your newsletter pop up you always bring such joy. Looking forward to time with the family - my first as a granny. Beyond excited to see the 8 month old when the family flies in Xmas Eve. Savouring time with my daughter. And really looking forward to chilling with hubby. Local pools are the absolute bomb! $2 swims in Brissie how good is that?

Thank you for writing Carly! Your newsletter honestly brings a pop of joy to my weeks. I love the way you encourage me to reflect on any number of little things, big or small. A very merry Christmas to you!

Love! I'll be clocking off work in a few more hours and engaging in some seriously needed self care and navel gazing for 2 weeks. Also deciding where I want to work next because I'm too old to keep putting up with shitty work environments (not my colleagues, they're lovely, just everything around it).

Also going to deep clean my house because apparently my husband and I are terrible at keeping up with a cleaning routine; getting our garden in shape and autumn/winter crops in because same reason with the gardening routine; spend time with the man and the doggos and my friends enjoying the summer break.
