As many of you know, I LOVE to plan and I LOVE notebooks and stationery. I also LOVE food, specifically, feta cheese. So after founding my notebook brand PANDORUS PUBLISHING and creating diaries, planners, dream journals and so on, I suddenly realised that there was one low-content book that I…
Quite a few years back I wrote some articles which were published in The Huffington Post in their blogger section. The site was originally founded by Greek-American author and businesswoman Arianna Huffington in 2005, and has since been bought by Buzzfeed, an American digital media company. At the time I…
It’s been quite a journey and I am VERY excited to announce that I have just published the SIXTH and FINAL book in my Greek mythological children’s chapter book series The Adventures of Omicron!!
We may have skipped November but welcome to December/January’s Book Club! This time I have rounded up a list of 12 books that I thought could make up our 2022 reading list. One book a month can be a stretch when you’re very busy but this year I’m going to…
As some of you may know, I recently founded PANDORUS PUBLISHING. Under this brand name I have created notebooks, dot grid journals and 2022 planners with unique designs for people to use to organise their life and manifest their intentions. I promised to write a post about the process behind…
I recently did some research about female members of the Greek resistance during WWII and found so many inspiring stories. One woman, in particular, stood out to me and I wanted to share her story during the month that we take time to remember so many of those who have…
Welcome to October’s Book Club! I personally find book recommendation blog posts really useful when I can’t be bothered to research new books so I thought that I would do a quick round-up of some of the material I have read / I am hoping to read this month that…
It’s that exciting time of year again… Nope, not the start of winter. Nope, not only a month and a bit until December. It’s NEW YEAR DIARY TIME!!! As some of you may know from one of my last posts, I recently founded PANDORUS PUBLISHING. Under this brand name I…
Hello all! The sixth and final book in my children’s chapter series The Adventures of Omicron will be out very soon. In the meantime, I decided to create a special activity book as a sort of companion to the series and I am very excited to announce that it is OUT NOW!
Happy November everyone! I hope that you are all as well as can be during these strange times and that you are enjoying as many books as possible! So I’ve been quietly working on (yet another!) book project for the entire year and it has FINALLY come to pass. To…
Hello….? Is there anyone still out there…? I haven’t written a blog post in such a long time that I’m pretty certain that most of the lovely peeps who used to read my content have gone on to far better and brighter blogs. However, if there is anyone still out…
I have invested a great deal of time AND money in my blog and social media presence since I first set up my original website in 2012. It definitely hasn’t come cheap, and eats into my life as well as my purse. Aside from the creative gains, for most people there…
The Greek culture is steeped in rich historical traditions and events. The Orthodox faith has strict regulations and rules detailing how traditions should be celebrated, although now of course many historical rules have been bent (and some completely broken) to accommodate the needs and wants of modern society.
Whether we like it or not, we live in a digital age where gadgets, gizmos and social media are at the forefront of our professional and personal lives. Apps are now seen as the fastest, most productive way of selling a service or product. Despite all the negativity surrounding how much…
This weekend is Greek Easter. The Greek Orthodox Easter dates tend to differ from Western Easters and are based on the Julian calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar. Greek Easter is always after the Jewish holiday of Passover and must be on the first Sunday after the first full moon…
A few weeks before my father met my mother, his aunt read the future in his coffee cup. She told him that she saw the shape of an aeroplane and a heart, which she inferred meant that he would meet a foreigner and fall in love. My father had scoffed at…
As you all know, the Greek olive (sometimes Spanish if supplies are low!) makes up a huge part of my life, featuring heavily in both my dietary and beauty regime. So I was very excited to be given the opportunity to test/taste and review a number of delicious delicacies straight from an olive farm…
