Off the back of the long weekend…

I've been in a constant state of not knowing what day it is this week. 

Alas! I know that today is Friday and I'm here saying hello again with the 24th issue of The List.

First, a quick recap on things shared last week:

  • My Adidas sneakers arrived and I love them! They're super comfy and give me the skater shoes vibes that were big the early 2000's. 

  • Mum's chocolate cake recipe was a hit with the girls! We had so much fun baking and decorating. A big shoutout to the readers who helped me out, sharing that rainbows made out of smarties were the way to go. You're the best! (You can view the absolute masterpiece here)

This week I'm sharing: 

  • A reminder of why we need metaphorically rainy days

  • A podcast that never fails to teach me something

  • A dress I ordered this week

  • A hearty, healthy and versatile dinner recipe

Have an awesome Friday!


So often we only value the times of life when things are going well. This quote serves as a valid reminder that tougher times serve a purpose too.

We need darker days to value the brighter ones. In our hardest times we push ourselves to grow, make change and go beyond our comfort zone. These challenges set us up for the best moments of our future.

And while I'd happily cruise around on sunshine and rainbows all day, it's nice to know the cloudy days serve a purpose, setting me up for my best days ahead.
