I recently moved to Bondi and pretty is EVERYWHERE. I can barely leave the house without rubbing up against some buff, shirtless body, or being asked by a blonde goddess if I want almond milk with that. The beach itself is a joke – a half-naked buffet of tattooed beefcake and small bikini bottoms, slowly disappearing up pert crevices. Having spent the past few weeks silently MORE +
Stay or Leave? – What to do when ‘Happy Ever After’ wants a refund.
The widely accepted theory of relationships and whether we decide to stay in them, is largely based on self-interest and three key factors. ’Relationship Satisfaction’ - does the hot sex and good chat override the annoying friends and lack of ambition? ‘Investments to Date’ - time spent together, any kids, shared friends, memories and financial commitments ‘Quality of Alternatives’ - could I MORE +

Four Questions You Should (Probably) Ask
Every day we ask ourselves hundreds of questions. What shall I wear? What should I eat? Should I really have eaten that? Where are my keys? Is he ever going to reply to my text? Should I buy that? Can I even afford it? Seriously - where the f*ck did I leave my keys? Tony Robbins, the world's most famous performance coach, has been known to proclaim that, 'quality questions MORE +
How to know if they are (actually) ‘The One’?
There is a BIG difference between a Saturday night hook up and forever, ever after. Obviously. But at what point can we confidently know that the great guy (or girl) we are dating is (actually) 'The One'? Maybe it is as simple as putting them to the test........... The Traffic Test: Tim Urban, who writes the wildly succesful blog, Wait But Why, suggests that when choosing a life partner MORE +
The (Juice-Free) January Detox.
I feel sorry for January. We expect it to sweep in like some sort of superhero, magically transforming our flabby arses, pickled livers and half-sketched dreams.

How To Deal With Idiots (and other people that we love).
In life we will come across all manner of annoying people. And we must somehow find a way to deal with them - every petty, pompous, irritating, know-it-all, entitled, smug-tastic last one of them.

The Truth About Luck (& how to attract more of it)
I know this girl - let's call her Bronte. Bronte is the kind of girl that always has a boyfriend. In a sea of losers, and in a city where most men Bronte's age want to date someone 20 years younger, Bronte always has a date. Whilst stuck at home on a Saturday night, her single group of friends discuss how 'lucky' Bronte is - how she must have some secret power, or perverted sex trick that allures MORE +
A Short Guide To Procrastination (which I eventually got around to writing).
Maybe this post is not for you. It might be that you are the type of person who was born motivated, with a digitised to-do list and the cut-throat efficiency to methodically churn your way through it. Then again, maybe you are the type of person who just mooches through life with a vague plan of intent, some fuzzy hopes and dreams and goes to bed each night with the sour taste of MORE +
Three Ways To Be A Better Person.
As you know - I have little patience for people who are forever telling us how they are 'living their best life'. Its not that I am jealous exactly - I just wish they would just go about their awesome lives with a little less fanfare. Great - whatever, I am happy for you - but is it entirely necessary to rub your 'best life' in my 'kinda-Ok-doing-my-best' and MORE +
