April feels like it was a month of slowly chipping away at the bigger 52-in-52 items (my annual 52 goals in 52 weeks list). I didn’t complete much, but I certainly made some good progress. Completed Buy new sunnies I…
A few of you asked about my dip nails after my last post, so I thought I’d write a dedicated post about them.
I’ve been doing dip polish since roughly October 2024.
It started because I’m a nail-biter. Anxiety chewing, basically. Years ago, I’d started using nail polish as a way to stop, but it really bugged me that it would chip after a few days.
Then the good ol’ social media algorithm got me, and I started seeing ads for Glamrdip. I also saw some for another company, Sistaco, but after a friend at work told me they had used their kit and had the same problem with easy chipping, I quickly moved away from them.…

It was my cousin’s wedding yesterday, and honestly, between the getting ready, the ceremony, the reception, and the dancing until my shoes came off, there’s a lot to cover. Including the dress reveal I’ve been teasing for a few posts now, and my favourite Australian wedding traditions!
It started on Thursday, with the all over fake tan. Normally, I just tan my legs because they’re typically translucent, to the point that at night with a bit of moonlight, I’m sure they would almost glow in the dark.

This morning I’ve already done my fingernails, painted my toenails, showered, and straightened my hair.
There’s just over an hour left until we go, so just enough time to post an April reading round-up before I have to do my makeup.
This month started with finishing off a romance novel, before jumping off a cliff and diving headfirst into the Sarah J Maas world of Crescent City.

After writing a post on Saturday about my anxiety crash, I’m happy to report that the Anzac Day long weekend refilled my cup in a major way.
Being a public holiday, it meant most things were closed for the day. My son played at a friend’s house up the street, and I’m so grateful to our neighbours, because it meant I could potter around and do whatever I felt like. No responsibilities, no one calling my name…just…whatever.
