Firstly, I have to say thank you to everyone who likes the Through My Looking Glass Facebook Page. This week it passed 200 likes after sitting down around 130 for months because I decided to make it a more active page. The support of people I've known for years, fans of the blog, and people I don't know at all is incredible. If there's anything you'd like to see on the Facebook page, please let me know!

Okay, seriously, I'm sure I say this every month but June just ran past me like a girl at a shoe sale. Seriously! I had high hopes to do a number of things in June (including the 30 Days of Lipstick challenge) but then it was over and I don't really recall what happened at all! Do you ever have months like this? If you missed it, here's what happened over here last month: Nothing really went as I planned… Read more »
So I've been ridiculously busy lately going to Vivid Festival and Zumbo's Dessert Train and hanging out with my bestie – not to mention crazy work – so I forgot to finish up the Saved By Cake Giveaway. It's ending this weekend, so if you want to be in it, just go here and tell me your favourite cake! I'm announcing the winner tomorrow so make sure you enter and you could be baking some amazingly delicious goods for… Read more »
Firstly, I have to send a shout out to my bestie as it is her birthday and I have been so busy that I haven't even sent her a card yet. Bad Katherine! I feel terrible because she is so great and totally worked off her feet at the moment and we're missing each other terribly. I hope I can make it up to her when she comes to visit but all the same, happy birthday, SJ! And now,… Read more »
I haven't always been a tea drinker, which is strange for an English-born girl. In fact, it wasn't until I went overseas early in my twenties and all my English relatives could not believe two things about me. One, that I didn't drink tea and, two, that I didn't have slippers. In England, I started drinking green tea with my second cousin, Ruth, but I still prefer a green tea or tisane to black tea. I also inadvertently collect tea… Read more »
Over the past few days I've noticed that a lot of bloggers have been sharing all the things they're afraid to tell their readers. It started with Jess Constable and EZ Pudewa and has moved like wildfire through the blogsphere this week. What is funny about this is that I've got something to tell you and just as I was wondering how to write it, I came across a number of blogs with this open, honest message followed by huge… Read more »
As I mentioned last week, my mum and grandma came to visit this week. Mum gave Grandma the choice of anything she wanted to do for this week and she wanted to visit me and see what my Sydney life is like, and so that's what we did. This is the first time the three of us have ever really spent time together and I'm glad that they decided to come. We went for a walk around my area and… Read more »
This week has flown by way too quickly for my liking. Obviously, I'm not working so that would explain my sudden reluctance for it to be Friday! I have not gotten anywhere near finishing my to do list. Sigh. The good thing is, though, my mum and grandma are coming to Sydney tomorrow so I'm not too sad! My favourite things this week are: – My favourite blog at the moment is Dream. Delight. Inspire. In particular, this post… Read more »
I've never done a "What's In My Bag" before but in the interest of trying out new things and personally thinking the contents of my bag are nothing short of FASCINATING, I thought I'd tip it all out on the floor and share it with you! 1. Mimco Metal Button Zip Top Signature Bag // 2. Spare hair tie, bobby pins, and Mimco Classic Bow clip // 3. Kate Spade wallet // 4. Green iPod Nano // 5. Eclipse mints… Read more »
