I tend to overthink things, and I can talk myself out of something before I even begin. If I had known what was ahead, I think I would have put myself under a lot of pressure to succeed. Ignorance can be bliss! There are plenty of posts about “what I wish I knew when I … Read more
Every now and then, Sydney puts on an incredible show at sunset. This evening was one of those, don’t you reckon? Let’s hope the rest of this week’s just as illuminating! And then boom! The very next day starts just as amazingly as yesterday ended! Mrs Romance is out and about early again this morning … Read more
Do you ever wonder what bloggers did before they were bloggers? Mrs Romance worked in corporate before she started Hair Romance, and before that she worked in interior design. As for me, I was an English teacher, and a freelance journo and copywriter. I no longer teach, but I just can’t seem to get the … Read more

I’ve seen more sunrises this week than ever thanks to the early World Cup games! I don’t really know why but I feel compelled to … Read more
