I have a small ritual that marks the change of seasons in my home. Little things here and there to welcome the new season and set the mood. I swap textiles, change wall art and I create THE scent.
In the words of the very wise Ferris Bueller, “life moves pretty fast. If you do not stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
This is my resolution for 2026.
Halloween in Australia hits a bit different, but that doesn’t mean I can’t summon a little darkness. But spooky season isn’t about the weather. It’s about atmosphere.
They say your dog is your best friend for part of your life, but you’re their best friend for their whole life. Bruce was my first dog, and I didn’t know a heart could stretch that wide or break that hard.
Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate this year, I made maraschino cherry flavoured macarons with an white chocolate ganache filling. They came out finger licking great. Crunchy and chewy and really delicious.
