Pullman Cairns International Hotel
We stayed at Pullman Cairns International for my half business half pleasure work play trip in Cairns, the hotel where the conference I attended was held. There were also queen rooms and rooms with harbour view, but work booked the room for me through the conference and I got a 7th floor double room with…

Cenovis Vitamin Gum (Grape Flavour)
Received my free sample of Vitamin Gum by Cenovis, the grape flavour, today. It’s sugar-free (i.e. artificially flavoured) and actually tastes pretty good.

Teva Kimtah Mid WP Leather
I tried on about 6 pairs of hiking shoes across two stores the other day. Half a size down, they’re too tight at the toes; half a size up, they’re too loose at the heel. I didn’t think I’d be able to find any comfortable walking shoes that would fit me that day, until I…
