Haaaaave you met my new pal - Phil...the bottle?! 🙈😍💧 I picked this cute lil guy by @palomar_design at the @amnh when I was in NYC and it has got so many compliments! It’s honestly one of the reasons why I am able to stay ~hydrated~ af because I can’t stop showing it off to everyone who sees me throughout the day! It’s a nifty-sized lil water bottle that can seamlessly fit in your handbag, has the best punny name ever, and it can literally be refilled with no hassle whatsoever. Plus, it’s ~aesthetics goals~ so win win! 💁🏽‍♀️💙♥️ Here’s hoping they release an Australian city version soon - the back of the bottle gives a comprehensive list of places of public water fountains, in case you need a top-up! 💦💦💦 📸: @yourbaeray || @palomar_design #philthebottle #stayhydrated #water #plasticfree #blueaesthetics #blueaesthetic #aesthetics #denim #adelaide #southaustralia #australia #newyork #nyc #notspon ||

Happy Sunday, beautiful people! Now, I don’t want to sound like a drama queen (unlike this delicious tea by @brewedbybelinda which is legit named just that 😂👏🏼), but @adlfringe is less than a month away! I mean, to quote @jvn (who is also going to be in the Rads next month 😱), “can you believe?!” In true Tema fashion, I have now booked a minimum of two shows per night for the entirety of the festival, because I have zero self-control 🤪. Having said that, I can feel myself already thriving in my creative element in anticipation of the much-awaited festival that will be celebrating 60 wonderful years 🎊🎊🎊 I’ve just spent a majority of my weekend submitting more Q&As with some fun artists and performers who’ll be visiting our gorgeous little city next month, so keep an eye out - I find this to be such a fantastic way to get a better idea of potential shows that I’d want to watch and I sincerely hope it will help you too, in terms of making the most of our month-long Fringe festivities ☺️✨ Ps The Drama Queen tea by B is actually a blue-coloured drink but it turns purple when you add a squeeze of lemon. It tastes like absolute magic. ✨ || #adfringe #performingarts #arts #festival #circus #physicaltheatre #cabaret #comedy #burlesque #australia #southaustralia #adelaide ||

Absolutely ecstatic to showcase the best of @adlfringe for the fourth consecutive year, so much so that I’ve started putting together interview articles with some of our beautiful performers, who will be part of he supportive, oh so sassy, and social Fringe family this year! 🎪🎭🤹🏽‍♀️🥁🎊 There are a few that have just gone up on my Weekend Notes profile and there’ll be plenty more coming to you over the next couple of weeks <link in bio>💥 Now, who is planning to basically live at @gluttony_fringe and @thegardenofud like I tend to do when the festivities kick off?!🙈😜♥️ Also, if you’re keen to explore the venues outta the CBD, I have some in mind that I’d like to visit and would love some carpool company hehe 😋🎈 📸: @yourbaeray || #adfringe #performingarts #arts #festival #circus #physicaltheatre #cabaret #comedy #burlesque #australia #southaustralia #adelaide #blackmilkclothing #bmpurpletartanvsmidnightowlinsideoutdress ||

How good are friends who become your family! 🙈😍 This weekend, I’ve been flat out between work and putting stuff together for my next stage of the visa and it got me thinking about how much has happened over the last (nearly) 10 years in this part of the world and how far I’ve personally grown as a person 🎈🎈🎈 I moved to a country where I knew absolutely no one, got through two degrees at university, went from being in the relationship from hell to one that taught me the true meaning of love, made friends with some of the nicest and gentlest of souls who have helped me through the best and worst moments of my life and made some amazing memories in the process, bounced between a number of odd jobs to finally pursue rewarding careers across Writing and Disability, learned to appreciate the littlest of things, and generally grew to be a person who is (still) trying their best to make the most of each day (even if it means booking something for almost every single hour of what eventuates to be a tight 24 hours 😂🙈). And to think, all this started from applying to study in lil ol’ Adelaide (even though I had no idea where it was at the time hehe) ☺️♥️✨ 〰️#blessed indeed! 〰️ || #australia #southaustralia #framily #friends #bespoke2 #thelocalbunch #driedflowers #adelaide #aesthetics #jamieandtema ||

I was rummaging through my stuff the other day and found this gorgeous print by @maydestudio with Henri Matisse’s words on it, which I thought I’d share with you all. 🌺 It made me stop, think, and reflect on what’s been happening to this beautiful country these past few months. There has been so much devastation, so much loss, and so much distress, but with it, we’ve seen everyone from all walks of life come together as a united front and help pick up the pieces to rebuild and instill a sense of hope and relief to those in desperate need of it. 💖💖💖 Earlier this week, I felt a need to shift my energy to something that would help me feel productive - not just for myself but also for our state. So, with the @adlfringe kicking off next month, I’m currently putting together a range of articles that will highlight some of the beautiful artists and performers, who will be coming in and injecting some much-needed fun and energetic times. 🎭🎪🎟 Through our back-and-forth, I’ve also been able to have some conversations with some of the performers around making the most of their stay here in SA! Because, despite all the destruction and hardship that has recently thrown livelihoods out of balance, there are still so many places to visit and experience that make this state one of the most admirable and attractive spots on the planet! I’m currently pooling together a list of some awesome local businesses, so feel free to DM me or leave a comment with suggestions that I can pass on to our fabulous international and interstate Fringe friends - let’s show them how welcoming, versatile, and resilient our state can be, even in a time of crisis. ♥️🎈 || #australia #southaustralia #henrimatisse #strawberriesandcream #adelaide #t2moments #t2tea #pinkaesthetic #flowers #visualart #summer #sunshine #naturallight ||

Visiting my faves @thegangco, who are doing incredible things and bringing our community together during this extremely challenging time by donating $1 from every meal purchased this weekend, in addition to accepting loose change / cash from their Parkside home for @sa_countryfireservice 🎈🎈🎈 Gather your friends / family members together and get yourselves a bit of everything from their menu, because it’s all for a good cause! ♥️♥️♥️ || @thegangco #thegangco #ganggang #parkside #adelaide #southaustralia #australia #notspon #fundraising #fundraiser #sacfs #cfsfoundation #doingourbest #bushfireappeal #community ||

A few favourite essentials that are getting me through the week, if I’m being quite frank😋💖 || #frankbody #frankbod #bespoke2 #gatheredsa #skincare #coffee #eastendflowermarket #eefm #adelaide #australia #pinkaesthetic #aesthetic #driedflowers #flowers #everlasting ||

Hair toss, check my nails, baby how you feelin’? (you know how it goes) 😉 There were some pretty low points throughout 2019, such as the severe neglect of my mental health, a constant battle to recognise my self-worth, the (very poor) dealings with some pretty heavy life-changing experiences, formerly being a part of some toxic work environments, and generally being exhausted 24x7. Safe to say I was trying my best, but ya gal thought she was some kind of a superwoman, who didn’t need no help (she did).🤦🏽‍♀️ 〰️〰️〰️ HOWEVER, they were (thankfully) balanced out beautifully by some incredibly high moments - through travels to one of my favourite places in the world with my favourite person, finally feeling part of a nurturing & rewarding job that treats me right, making the most of opportunities that added to a colourful and enjoyable career in freelancing, meeting some vibrant personalities who taught me to live life to the fullest, and being blown away by the support of friends, family, and this gorgeous little community of cheerleaders right here, who have proven themselves to be some of the kindest gems that I’ve been blessed with this year! ♥️♥️♥️ For 2020, I have already made plans to put my efforts around getting back into a rigid workout routine, having my first (proper) psych appointment, planning wonderful getaways with my framily, learning to give my body the love it has always deserved, working my way up in both my careers by putting my skills to good use, and generally trying to make the most of the one thing I’ve never appreciated enough - the beauty of being alive! 🎈🎈🎈 However you choose to ring in the new year, please look after yourselves, be in the company of those who bring you joy and happiness, be gentle with yourselves, binge-watch that show you’ve been meaning to catch up on for weeks / months, call an Uber if your night out gets too overwhelming, and keep a bottle of water by your night stand! 😋 Defs feeling good as hell (acquaint yourselves with @lizzobeeating if you haven’t already 💋) for what’s to come!⚡️👯‍♀️🥂🎉 || #hello2020 #thankyounext2019 || 📸: @theeditorsstyle
