as promised, a separate coffee blog
Okay, Rachel’s short history of coffee. I never drank coffee in America. Nasty, disgusting stuff. I had such issues going to cafes because I didn’t like tea either. When I discovered the steamer (steamed milk with flavour shots – almond, mmmm….) it really boosted my nightlife. When I stayed in Metz, France, with friends of [...]
response to recent posts
Hello, Brianna, I meant to reply to you ages ago. First, welcome. And second, I HAVE to meet you. You ended your blog with “I have a moral objection to paying for sandwiches or bottled water.” You are MY KIND OF GIRL. I only wish I had thought to put that in my self-introductions. Totally [...]
lip newbie!
Hey everyone! I’m new to lip in more ways than one. I discovered the magazine late last year, and love it as an alternative to many of the commercial magazines targetted at 15-21 year olds. I also found out about the editorial lip internships through their website, which I applied for, and got! I look [...]
working out
I just joined my local gym, and had my first session today. So far so good, but ask me how I feel in the morning and I might be telling a different story. As soon as I mention that I’ve joined a gym, people always ask if I joined Fernwood, the women-only gym. I’m almost [...]

It will involve a few young designers, a Canberra band or two, the opportunity for girls to model, hopefully a little shop where you can buy clothes, mags, CDs and other great stuff made by young [...]
sleep
Hey there, Anybody have any tricks for getting to sleep at night? I can sit here all day and not want to think about lip. The second I get into bed, though, my mind is full of ideas and enthusiasm. Fortunately I remember a lot of the ideas in the morning, but I’m sure I [...]
so Savvy
In about a month’s time, I’m going to be a mentor at a GirlSavvy workshop. Right now, someone out there is asking “What’s GirlSavvy???” It’s a series of workshops aimed at young women to inspire them to focus on career goals and the benefits of achieving financial independence. I was talked into volunteering as a [...]
