I’ve realised that as I get older, I set aside my desire for the frivolous (unless it’s a brightly coloured Perfect Moment jumpsuit, then I’m ALL IN), and look for quality and functionality in ‘things’.

TRIED & TESTED // Brooks Levitate 4
Trainers are supposed to be renewed every 300 to 400 miles. Since January to the end of September 2020, Strava tells me I’ve run 431km.

Eliza’s 2019 Christmas Wish List
It’s rare that I actually want ‘things’ for Christmas. Yet this year, the ‘things’ which are on here are very functional. Several are experiences too. For 2020, I want to prioritise health, wellness and a sense of focus. As a mum to two gorgeous yet feral boys, my life has been rather chaotic and I’m […]
