Mira Mira on the wall: at this studio, you’re the fairest of them all
Let’s be honest. Selfies are an art form, and like any art, they take practice, some ballsiness and a big dash of pizzaz. Enter Mira Mira’s self-portrait studio in Alexandria (across from The Grounds), which flips the script on the traditional photo shoot.

The BEST MAC keyboard I’ve ever used… like, ever.
Let’s talk keyboards. Specifically, let’s talk about the Logitech Mac Wave Keyboard in white.

Hotel Review: Manly Pacific Sydney – MGallery Collection, villa ocean views, Bistro Manly with ‘that scallop risotto’, wonderful beachy service to top off the best seaside staycation in Sydney
And here we…sitting on the balcony drinking a glass of rose surveying our kingdom like a smug seagull. My ears are tuned into the rhythm of the waves.
