It's almost Valentine's Day, a commercial, chocolate-filled time of year. And I love it. Mainly for all the romantic comedies that resurface again. Got to love a good rom-com: it's stories about women for women, where women are treated - most of the time - quite well compared to other film genres. So I made [...]
January appeared to be an eco friendly month appreciating the basics of life: buying and using new eco products, reducing one use plastics - in fact, reducing one use items in general. I've also been appreciative of bright colours, winter food, electricity, lights, and sleep. I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately, and [...]

I came across Gloria Steinem's famous speech about 10 things she wants for Christmas. It was brilliant. And it got me thinking: what do I want for Christmas - this year and every year.
