If, as the saying goes, a change is as good as a haircut, is a haircut as good as change? I think so. Or in my case it's as good as another item. Even though I lost a lot of locks, I gained a new look. A short bob that was so beautifully styled and … Continue reading Cuts and revelations
The Six Items Challenge allows you unlimited active wear. I was relieved when I read that disclaimer before starting the challenge, because I practice yoga and like to walk and run. Never did I think I would be in my active wear almost as much as my six items. To make my items last, or because … Continue reading Active wear, active wear. Doing stuff in my active wear
Woohoo!! I am half way through the challenge. Actually, I'm not as excited as I thought I'd be. Perhaps because I'm going through the zen phase of the Six Items Challenge. I've grown accustomed to my dress, trousers, skirt and three tops. They have become a modular uniform of sorts, and a uniform can be reassuring. You always … Continue reading Half way to Stockholm

I've decided to start again. Take a look at why and meet the new six.
You know how in scrabble when have really terrible tiles you can opt to miss a turn to get a new set of seven? Well, that's exactly what I am doing. I don't know what the rules of engagement are for the Six Items Challenge but I have decided to start again. My six choices … Continue reading And the answer was no

I have a 13-month old who loves salmon, blueberries and pumpkin and kumara hummus (not in that order). I pulled my green cotton top out one morning only to find little salmon finger prints all … Continue reading 6 items update and new look
