Starting work, getting used to a commute and working out the exact amount of time to get ready in the morning has been fun! I have now got my routine down to a tee – so much so, if I have my hair already straightened I can be in the shower at 7.55am and still…

Watch out NY…
As a result of the very awesome Qantas 2-for-1 international fare sale, mum and dad are coming to New York in May next year! Hurrah! As the fares were getting increasingly ridiculous it was looking more and more like they would not be coming over and I’d be doing a visit back – but the…
