As you probably have figured out, I don’t mind the odd shopping foray! However, my purchases are very measured and I do carry out my research. Have you noticed that when your budget doesn’t allow, you walk into one of your favourite stores and see SO many items that are beckoning to come home with
“What do you do?”
The question “What do you do?” is a very common one that is used regularly within our interactions. It is interesting though isn’t, because we invariably receive a multitude of answers be it: ‘I’m a Project Manager’ or ‘I’m a Vet’ or ‘I’m a Lawyer’.

The Friendly Snub
Is there such a thing as a friendly snub? I found myself in an interesting social situation last week when I went to The State to see a movie with my friend Melissa. As we walked in, I noticed another friend of mine…Annabelle, sitting talking with two of her friends (whom I also know). I was

Tick : Tock
