Meet Girlboss Jess Molina | Serendipity Ave

"You’ll dream bigger dreams, and experience great pain and failure. But you know what? At 21 you will become a magazine editor, just like you’ve always dreamed of. The first time you see your magazine in a shop, you will cry as you hold it in your hands. Seeing it there, beside your favourite magazine titles, is a magazine you helped created. And you will fail at that. 3 years later and the magazine will collapse. You’ll be devastated for months, until you realise that your publication closing down is what needed to happen to make way for your biggest dream.  You’ll host a national TV show that recognises you as an influential person in your adopted country and you’ll be heavily involved in writing the script. You’ll even see yourself in a popular TV series. You’ll realise that your purpose in life is to tell stories."

What an honour to be interviewed by the babes over at Serendipity Ave as part of the Girlboss series on their blog. I talked about still not having a boyfriend at 26, my guilty pleasure, and cried as I wrote a letter to my 15-year-old self. Read the full interview here.

Ten Things | October Edition

1. That first sip of coffee in the morning though... I found myself extremely dependent on coffee last week. I love coffee, but could never drink too much of it as I get the shakes. But last week I was just so tired everyday and have discovered the coffee machine at work does a delicious mocha. So I've been sipping that liquid gold twice a day and I feel like I finally get the coffee obsession that this country has. And I'm really looking forward to tomorrow so I can have my mocha!

In Conversation: Shoshana Sachi is taking over Hollywood and we are so here for it

I was lucky enough to chat to writer and filmmaker Shoshana Sachi over the weekend. I follow her work closely and love seeing her doing her thing in LA so I'm pretty excited for this interview. Get to know Shoshana in the interview below and be inspired by her words. 

Currently...

... fresh out of the most epic bath I've ever had. At midnight I decided it was time to crumble the bubble bar that's been hiding in my suitcase. Best. Decision. Ever. And second best decision of the day (but more on that in a bit)! I'm currently still at Grand Mercure Auckland and to be honest I think the only way you'll ever pry me out of this hotel is if you physically drag me out. Maybeeee. Anyway, the point is, is that the bath was exactly what I needed to relax and pause for a while. It's been a busy couple of weeks and I'm finding it harder to 'switch off' lately so at midnight I made a conscious effort to clear my mind and focus on my breathing, the quietness, and how the water feels against my skin.

High Tea Amber Ale is the drink for tea, beer, and chocolate lovers

When I was told that this new brew was made with tea, I didn’t know what to expect. As someone who is not really a fan of  beer or tea, this taste testing was going to actually be testing me. WORDS by Caitlan Johnston.
