Thank-you. Each and every person who’s commented on the blog, Tweeted me, left a post on Facebook, re-pinned a photo on Pinterest or “hearted” a photo on Instagram.
I’ve had THE best year.
Bring on 2012. I’m ready. Hope you are too.
I’m having a little bloggie break to hang out with my family and friends. You’ll see a few posts come up over the next couple of weeks and I’m never far from Twitter or Facebook (LOL). You’ll also find me most days on JustB holding the fort with Pip (if you haven’t liked us, would love you to come over and do so). JustB is all about being you, having fun, sharing a laugh and making new friends.
What are you up to this Christmas/New Year break? If you’re a blogger, check out these great tips from Annabel Candy on how to manage a break and keep your blog going.

Oh, Jodi … thanks so much … love it when you pop up here. x
Hon, what a goddamn magnificent year you’ve had. Don’t think you know exactly how much I think about you .. A LOT. You are one of the kindest, truest women I’ve had the utter privilege of making friends with after meeting online. I’m so grateful for that Nikki.
There’s going to be a moment at Sparklecorn next year where I will just hug the f*ck out of you and say LOOK WHAT WE DID. And you’ll already know.

Love that spirit, Louisa x
What an impressive slide show. The local blogosphere is lucky to have someone who is such a great ambassador for Australian blogging talent. I regularly reference you & Styling You with clients when I need an example to support the social media strategies I develop for businesses. It was a great pleasure & honour to have guest posted here. The warm & generous community you have built has inspired me in more ways than one.
But mostly my wardrobe & beauty regime thanks you for its long overdue reinvigoration. I’ll miss the daily posts but I’ll go into the festive season colour blocking, applying mineral makeup & wearing fabulous accessories with confidence. Enjoy your well earned break.

I am exhausted Clairey – and putting that together made me realise why. I need a Gwinganna stay! I’m so glad that the weekend’s benefits have lasted long-term for you. The effect of my weekend almost 4 years ago remains … might need a top up though soon. x
