Hey there!

I’m Justine and I’m fuelled by a good cuppa, dark chocolate and soul-stirring books.
I’m a planaholic, dawdling writer, goal-getter and self-confessed homebody based in Melbourne.
I live for FRIYAY evenings chilling on the couch in a baggy tee and yoga pants.

Chasin’ dreams since 1995.
