I was born and raised in Australia and lived and travelled all over this amazing continent. I always want people to have the best experience when they visit so that they will love it as much as I do! I love recommending things to do when friends visit- here are things I will always suggest 🦘

Reheat your Heated Rivalry game (or that of those you love) with some on point and on theme gifts. Hollanov forever! ❤️‍🔥

The National Trust and English Heritage caretakes seemingly endless amazing places and buildings across the UK. They care for many of the UKs oldest and most historically significant places. Which also tends to be where they like to shoot movie and television shows! Here are my favourites 🎬

Vienna is a city that punches above its weight. History, romance, coffee, liquor and romance- it has it all! Here are my top recs for a trip that is all killer, no filler.

I had the most amazing holiday to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Here are some of my favourite places to go and things to do. I could have stayed a month and still not done everything on my wish-list!

London is an incredibly vibrant city with what feels like endless possibility. My chosen home, I could recommend wonderful things for days 💚

Florence, or Firenze, is one of my favorite cities in the world. It is breathtakingly beautiful, and like being in a fairytale. If you are so lucky to spend time here, there are a few magical things I offer for consideration.

I love travelling, and being able to be as spontaneous as possible. For me, t part of that means travelling as light as possible. I always consider how practical and item is before I take it with me. Here are the things I cannot travel without!

Paris has a really big reputation and does not disappoint. This list is my humble offerings to consider based on my trips to this amazing city. Live your best life!

Faro, Portugal is a gem of a city. It has beautiful beaches, wildlife reserves, and the capital of the Algarve. It's a perfect base for the region and there is so much to do! If you are considering a visit to Faro, here are some of my favourite things.

Diagnosed as an adult and constantly trying to befriend rather than fight my brain. These are some things that have been magic for me!

Cleaning and ADHD don't always go together super well. Add in trying to be eco-friendly as well and it can feel overwhelming. I don't think our houses need to be perfectly spotless and photo ready at all times, but I do think clean is good for our minds and bodies. These tools are what I use to reduce decision fatigue, stay in cleaning hyper focus and on hard days... keep it as easy as possible for myself and remember that anything worth doing is worth doing a little bit. 🌈

Ice hockey fans are an enthusiastic bunch and sometimes it's best to just lean in! I always worry that activity themed gifts can feel a bit generic, so I've pulled together a collection of options from the imminently practical to outrageous. You might be able to tell there are ice hockey players and fans in my life 🏒

Finland is a place of fairytales and dreams. It offers lots of brilliant cultural and foodie options as well as reindeer and forests that are like being in a postcard. And it has the Northern Lights!

London is spoilt for choice with incredible restaurants. Florals, rooftop views? You've got it! Here are my top recommendations. All killer no filler (in my humble opinion!).

Life under capitalism is tough and money doesn't always go as far as we would like! Here are some ways I have found to make my money stretch further. Where there's a referral code, both of us will get a little something extra, but equally you can sign up without a referral to these sites, so live your best life!

Any kind of skin issue can be unpleasant, painful and upsetting. I've struggled with eczmea over the years and tried loads of things, including some which made it worse. Here are my top recommendations to help manage eczmea flare ups.

I love opera. I have no music background or training and for years I felt like opera was too inaccessible or just something that I needed some special knowledge to enjoy. I was totally wrong. If you are in London, UK please know the Royal Opera House has surprisingly cheap 'cheaps seats', and I love them! Making this list in case it helps someone also discover the wonder of opera.
