I thought it was a good time to write about a few things that made the year memorable 🙂
- My first full year as a vegetarian – I didn’t think I could make it when I started, but now I can’t even imagine eating meat.Â
- Japan holiday – it was amazing!
- Perisher snow trip – I’ve never been so sick before! If Alec and I can get through that, we can get through anything.
- Lindeman Island – tropical island vacation and wedding.
- Published work at Google – I started writing for the internal communications team.
- I got promoted!
- Developed a love for Tokidoki bags.
- Spending my 29th birthday at the coldest cabin on earth and seeing where my dad grew up in Glen Davis.
- Isis and Matt’s Indian-fusion wedding – so much fun 🙂
- Fireworks on Sydney harbour for NYE – truly spectacular.
- Christmas with the family – and old Kitty attacking the greyhound – too funny for words.
- Losing my Tag watch – so upsetting.
- FOOD – discovering many new things that I love, like Adriano Zumbo cakes and La Gerbe in Paddington, and my favourite Japanese place, Umaimon.
- Taking up pole dancing.
- Breaking my first iPhone and finally getting my 3G replacement.
- Buying a Mac book – why oh why?! It’s been a slow getting-to-know-you process for the two of us.
- The Twilight book series and movie – I am so obsessed. How did I not know about them before?
- Building close friendships with Beverly and Lisa.
- Waking up to Alec every day and feeling truly blessed.
- Struggling to live a 100% cruelty-free life. I went from cutting meat out of my diet to buying non-leather handbags and wallets and cosmetics / body care / household cleaners that weren’t tested on animals. My biggest challenges – leather shoes and Mimco handbags. I just love them, and it’s harder for me to give up Mimco then it was to give up meat!
