Los Alamos, California

After five fun packed days with my family in Los Angeles, Wes and I jumped into our car and commenced our Pacific Coast Road trip. I am not sure how you cannot be immersed into the hype of a trip down the Pacific Highway, as soon as we left Venice Beach heading North along the […]

The Return To Los Angeles

Hello, hello! It has been a hot minute. Well rather a few minutes, I am not sure what has kept me away from here, life in general I suppose but I thought what is a better way to return to travel blogging than a big bumper photo diary of our return to Los Angeles and […]

Summer to Winter Transition with BIODERMA

Think Pink…

So I am momentarily and rather maniacally trying to get myself organised for next week’s adventure to Indonesia which basically involves ordering and sending back and reordering clothes upon clothes for our trip.  You should see the state of my spare room!  Everything is being done at the speed of lightening  leading me to an […]
