Melanie An Noma

Melanie An Noma

Today’s the big day Melanie An Noma is getting her official eviction notice. Once the drama’s over, I plan to recover in pure luxury, stretched out on my Chez Moi set, surrounded by cushions, snacks, and a smug sense of relief. Think ‘spa day meets survival mode.’ For those new here, she is my melanoma, [...]

The wall unit

The wall unit

Home is where the heart rests, not where the charger hides. Not where blue lights flicker or endless scroll collides. A wall unit waits instead solid, steady, kind. It holds the books, the frames, the little treasures you find. No pings, no beeps, no endless chase, just shelves with room for time and grace. More [...]

Boss fantasies

Boss fantasies

Here I am in reality chained to my desk like a hunched over goblin, working all day while secretly dreaming of being that boss. I too want to make dramatic entrances, with overpriced lattes in hand, sunglasses indoors just because I can. Long lunches and work “catch ups”. Meanwhile, I’m over here headset stuck to [...]

Coffee and me

Coffee and me

If I’d had a coffee stand in my living room this week, I swear I’d have been unstoppable. Instead, I’ve spent the week staring at a sad jar of instant coffee, whispering “you’ll do” like it’s a bad relationship. No latte art, no loyalty points, just shaky hands and regret. Honestly, if Starbucks wants to [...]

So Apparently I Might Be Sun-Kissed… by a spot of Skin Cancer?!

So Apparently I Might Be Sun-Kissed… by a spot of Skin Cancer?!

Exactly one week ago, I walked into my GP’s office thinking, “This will be quick.” Just a little skin thing. Probably nothing. Maybe they’ll laugh and send me home with a pat on the back. Liz (aka Isa) being over dramatic. The GP did not laugh. In fact my ten minute appointment turned into 45 [...]

Waters hush

Waters hush

Come drift with me, where sunlight spills low,molasses-light on limbs aglow. The water hushes, thick and wide,a velvet cradle, a heated tide. Toes tease on lazy blue,fingers paint fire the sky once knew. Each swell a secret, soft and tight,each breath a bloom in golden light. No rules. No rush. Just gleam and hush,a sly [...]

Tropical Energy, No Passport Needed

Tropical Energy, No Passport Needed

You know that perfect holiday feeling, the one where the air feels warmer, time moves slower, and even just sitting down feels like a luxury? That’s the vibe I get from Costa Entry Set by Chez Moi. It’s not just a chair seating area, it’s a mood reset. The colours are vibrant without being loud, [...]

Kent’s summer

Kent’s summer

You know those mornings when you step outside and the air is already giving holiday brochure before you’ve even touched your tea? That’s today in Kent. Sun blazing, 26 degrees, and frankly it’s giving Mediterranean dream, but with a side of British reality (which, unfortunately, does not include a pool). I inhaled the warm air [...]
