A MODERN RITUAL OF GRATITUDE AT THE TABLE I grew up in a fruit shop. I didn’t work, I ate. When our bucolic family was wrangled indoors, think; lots of boisterous male energy and one baby female in semi-rural New Zealand, we gathered around the table. In our household we had a daily format with […]
Back to The Journal GLOBALLY, AROUND 2.25 BILLION CUPS OF COFFEE ARE DRUNK EVERYDAY. That’s a power move if I ever saw one. With delight and awe, I finally get to interview the essential, omni-present, Brown. Here’s our chat! GF: Describe your personality in a few words B: Grounded, core, fundamental, controversial, paradoxical. I’m a […]

Recently one night, like a spirit had descended on me, I decided I wanted to be a salonniere. Is this even a word? Was my habit of making up words to fill in the gaps of my moth eaten 90’s French playing tricks on me? Unsure, I asked aunty Google and ended up on a […]
Back to The Journal In 2022 Rolling Stone magazine wrote the headline ‘Let the Green M&M Be a Nasty Little Slut’. You see, the previous foxy, green, high-healed boot wearing M&M had been rebranded and the internet was all a flurry over her new Larry David-esque sneakers. I’ve always said that your perfect love […]
I used to hate blue. I refused to decorate with it, believing it was for babies’ rooms and people that didn’t understand there are more interesting colors in the world.
