Fond of fondue?
Communal meals used to be all the rage when I was a kid. Even right up to the global outbreak of Covid, sharing was caring. Sure, there were ‘sneeze-guards’ at the all-you-can-eat buffet diners, but mostly, smorgasbords were common and cool, and tongs were preferred… but optional. Now in our…

Find your WHO
OK, confession time: I’m not really up on the whole DC comics or Marvel thing, or (yell at me now) what the difference between the two ‘worlds’ is… but… sometimes you find yourself “in” their world regardless. In Australia, one of our major supermarkets had a promotion a while back…

“Unleashing my inner power: Dare to dream”
I’ve mentioned before that I spend most of my reading-time in Blog-land, but I do occasionally get out and about on Instagram and LinkedIn. It was over on LinkedIn that I met Amber Horrox from the United Kingdom who “helps migraine warriors find their voice” when she regularly writes for…

Laundry madness
I’m not a huge fan of being a housewife. That’s not to say I’m a prissy-princess either; I clean toilets with the rest of you. It’s just that doing the same chores over and over can get a bit tedious. Throw in some constant face-pain and waves of nausea and…

Studio Migraine: a voice for women with migraine

“Are you ok?”
In Australia, today is “R U OK” day – and as the website says, it is about “a national Conversation Movement that is equipping Australians with the skills and confidence to support those struggling with life.” Because, let’s face it, life isn’t easy, AND it’s not always easy to know…

Tag Team Blogging
The other day I received a note from one of my blogging besties, Robert over at Things I Have Thought Of. The comment said something like “tag you’re it”. My first thought was, “oh yay! Like the game! How fun!” But then my second thought was “but wait… what comes…
