Read more: On “rest”This pandemic has changed my perspective on a lot of things. I wrote previously about how this pandemic, along with a series of unfortunate events (likely all triggered by the pandemic), forced me to re-evaluate my relationship with work. Six months post-resignation though, and I’m now realising that it fundamentally altered my perception of rest…

Read more: Out & About // Cafe MariposaPayol runs through my blood so I was more than excited to see Cafe Mariposa, a restaurant in the Lopinot Valley featured on this year’s TT Restaurant Week schedule. Like many kids, I spent a lot of time in Lopinot during my childhood. I have very distinct memories of eating multi-coloured cheese paste sandwiches and catching…

Beauty Bomb // March Birchbox
Read more: Beauty Bomb // March BirchboxHot on the heels of my February Birchbox (which, to be fair, was quite late), was…you guessed it, my March Birchbox (so yes…I’m posting this late).

Reflections on 2013 and Looking Forward to 2014
Read more: Reflections on 2013 and Looking Forward to 2014Hey guys, Just back from NYC and trying to hammer out a Ole Years/New Years post on the blog before midnight…because my lack of posting would be twice as bad if I don’t round off the year with some notes on 2013.

Read more: Discovery // Zabouca BreadsI’ve always worked within walking distance of Zabouca Breads – a quaint little bakery tucked away next to a similarly curious piano repair shop, just across from the NP Gas Station on the corner of Tragerete and Maraval Road. It’s easy to miss, but once you’ve peeked inside I guarantee it’s much more difficult to…

Review: Sinnamon Skin Klinik & Rejuvenation Centre
Read more: Review: Sinnamon Skin Klinik & Rejuvenation CentreWe are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving…We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation.…

The Butterfly Effect (choices, death and outcomes)
Read more: The Butterfly Effect (choices, death and outcomes)“In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where a small change at one place in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state.” I found myself thinking about the Butterfly Effect today – no, not the terrible movie, but the one cited above.
