    The Thrill of the Op Shop Find

    There’s nothing quite like the thrill of an op shop treasure hunt. You walk in with zero expectations ~ maybe just to “have a quick look” (famous last words) and suddenly you’re holding something that needs to come home with you….immediately! Yesterday we took a drive to Mullum ~ that dreamy, boho little town tucked…

  • Is My Obsession with Indoor Plants… Healthy?

    Is My Obsession with Indoor Plants… Healthy?

    So, here’s the thing. I talk to my plants. Every. Single. Day. Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, Bird of Paradise, Spider Plants, Peace Lilies, Pothos, Devil’s Ivy, Palms, Monstera (even a Thai Constellation baby) ~ they all get their daily pep talks.

RainMinded has been swirling in my head (and scribbled across a ridiculous number of notebooks) for ages and now it’s finally out in the wild. This is the space where I’ll be pouring out stories, reflections and rambles ~ sometimes funny,…

  • Breaking Free with a Meme and a Dream ♡

    Breaking Free with a Meme and a Dream ♡

    So, here I am, launching RainMinded because the big social platforms decided they’re the bosses of my thoughts. Picture this ~ I posted a cheeky little meme in my stories ~ yep, just a harmless jab at stress, something we all feel! Next thing I know, bam! A 3-day ban on my personal page and…
