The hub of home-grown inspirational women
I’m a little saddened by the fact that ANZ Febusave 2010 is officially over – it’s been a great ride. My involvement with the Febusave initiative began in December 2009 when I was asked to be one of the original blog ambassadors. My initial thoughts were that this could be an opportunity to promote Australian [...]

Today I have taken my first step towards becoming a non-smoker. I will start blogging about my experiences with the Think Quit program tomorrow morning. But today, I thought it might be useful for you and certainly for me, to provide some background. I have been a smoker for almost 20 years. My parents are [...]

Day Two of our sweet, sweet trip dawned pretty much a repeat of Day One – persistent rain and a persistent damp feeling in our sneakered areas.
