Only Half Crazy

Fitness, Perthect - 28 August, 2016

Today, I ran (jogged) the Perth City to Surf Half Marathon in 2 hours and 54 minutes. I know, I know – not an amazing time, but you wouldn’t believe how proud I am! </P>

<P>My decision to run the half marathon was based on realising a dream, proving to myself that I could actually do it and so that I could wear my medal everywhere for the next few weeks. What? I’m totally serious. </P>

<P>In all honesty, my initial attitude towards running the half-marathon was pretty blasé. I’m pretty fit and super active, but I’m not exactly a runner. I’m not particularly into running - and to be completely honest, I don't actually even really like running that much. But I do love a challenge! </P>

<P>I thought I’d share a few little pointers I learned from my incredibly chillaxed training regime, just incase any of you crazy kids decide to take it upon yourselves to do a half-marathon someday, with as little enthusiasm as me... </P>

Inspiration, Perthect, You Beauty - 17 August, 2016

<p>Four Perth creatives, the exquisite scenery of Ocean Reef Beach and some unreal, magical weather... </p>
<p>This blog is a follow up to my 'Out of the Woods' post from last month, where I was lucky enough to collaborate with three very talented Perth creatives. The collaboration came together, as they so often do, through good old Instagram. Local make-up artist Cat reached out to see if I'd be interested in being photographed for a styled shoot (err, hello? Yes!), and soon set up a date with local Perth photographer Terry Lok and hairstylist Rachelle Lord.</p>
<p>The beach is my favourite place to be in the world, no matter what the season - and was therefore the natural location choice for this shoot. Ocean Reef Beach is just stunning. Ridiculously full of texture, with stretching beaches, rocky coves and sandy cliffs. We were so lucky with the moody winter weather! When we shot this a month ago, Perth was in the middle of a week of epic storms - so we were treated to grey stormy skies, swirly silver ocean and magical sunbeams peeking out from behind the rolling clouds...</p>

Aussie Top Thirty

Life/Style, Perthect - 5 August, 2016

Today, I've officially lived in Australia for thirty whole months. Wow! It seems like only yesterday I touched down at Perth airport fresh from Britain and full of excitement, anticipation and wanderlust... </p>

<p>In the past thirty months, I've met some amazing people, been on some incredible adventures and secured some life-long friendships. I fall in love with Australia a little more each day - and still have so much more to see! </p>

<p>Living in the most isolated city in the world has so far been pretty special. So, I thought it only fitting to celebrate my thirty month anniversary of living on this gorgeous island/country/continent, by sharing my top thirty favourite things about living Down Under... </p>
