It’s been two years to the day since my

so here’s a reintroduction.

I’m Georgie and I live somewhere in Sydney’s inner west—get to know me well enough, and you’ll probably guess right on the first try—and currently I’m all about self-improvement, self-care (not entirely the facials/spa/retail therapy kind, but some of it doesn’t hurt), and not bending over backwards working a 9–5.

I have 5 tattoos and 15 piercings (all in my ears). My favourite colour is blue. I have a very varied taste in music and will give anything a listen. I recently started building a “no-skip albums” playlist. I have quite a few indoor plants. An opinion: Pickles are good. A hot take: Pyjamas are a cult.

I am trying to do more art/craft and creative stuff, and am using kits that have all the instructions and supplies, but hoping to eventually expand to create things from scratch. I’m slowly moving my blog away from WordPress, which is a little project and a challenge I would have refused to do if you asked me several years back. And I am kinda planning on doing another powerlifting competition soon.

I post hot takes, some first world problems, miscellaneous observations, random stuff that might reveal a fun fact about me, and promote some of the writing and other stuff I do online. Come say hi ✨

Can people stop saying “body is tea”? I mostly see this as comments on Instagram reels, but… I don’t know. It makes me feel uncomfortable because it’s a direct comment on one’s actual physique, which is a level deeper than complimenting someone for looking great (and in reference to their body). And something about the phrase sounds kinda gross. I’ve often seen these comments on videos that aren’t about fitness/body either.

And don’t get me started on the link to idealising “types” of bodies…
