We have lived in many apartment since moving to the Italian Alps, some of which have been great and others not so but we've had fun times regardless. When you've moved as many times as we have you soon learn what to look out for when renting a place or at least where you will compromise and where you won't. We have certainly learnt from the latter. It's now very much a case of knowing what we like and what we don't. Are you the same? Follow along to hear the real estate disasters we have come across and the houses we one day dream of building/owning. What's on your wish list? If you want to ..read more

Sorry it's a day late!  This week's episode is all about the reality of a "seasonaire" lifestyle, what to expect, what to avoid and many stories of our experiences back in the day when we were still classed as living the seasonaire life, (although SOME people still think we live that life!) So grab a drink and join us!

February means Valentines is nearly upon us, eek!!! Whether you celebrate this supposed "holiday" or not you won't be able escape the heart shaped balloons or soppy music being played where ever you go. We are lucky that the Italians even though they are known for their love and passion do not go big for this  overly commercialised show of LOVE! We can openly admit we are not the biggest fans of this romantic day so if like us you prefer to treat the 14th like any other day then tune in to hear all about our Valentines day fails and why we detest the day so much. If you want to get inv ..read more

After a mini break we are back talking all things Friendship, what we value and what makes us wanna run for the hills (or mountains in our case). From never buying a round to wayy too much physical contact, it turns out we have a fair few friendship red flags! Are we too fussy?? We also had a little chat about making friends as an adult (It's less acceptable to ask someone to be your friend once you're over 10) and in particular making friends abroad! So lets make friends and let us know what you think! If you want to get involved or let us know what makes you a bold bitch, find us on instagr ..read more

After blue Monday we thought we would use this episode to get some things off our chests. Mainly having a little moan regarding stigmas surrounding January and fitness. Why does Jan have to mean the start of a new fitness journey? or a new 'Diet'?  We know its the beginning of a new year but we feel its better to start when you are ready not when someone deems it the 'best time' to start. Also what if joining a gym or new fitness app isn't for you, why should we feel the pressure to follow this trend? Join us for our moan/rant if you too are also struggling with motivation at this momen ..read more

You might find you learn something new this week in the form of an Italian holiday we hadn't heard of until we moved here. Listen and find our more about 'Befana', the witch who visits on the night of the 6th Jan. Strange right and no we are not lying, she also apparently predates the big man ..read more

It's that time of the (podcast) month; Girl chat time! So... Excuses: why do we make them?  This week's episode is all about why we put off doing things, big or small and the excuses we tell ourselves in doing so. There are so many types of excuses, and reasons as to why we use them. Is it so you don't have to do something, or so you will?  We are all used to making justifications or allowances for the things we do/don't do, whether it be on a daily basis or just a one off. But is there a knock-on effect when we do? Is it just a way of us absolving?  Grab a drink, get cosy and ..read more

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.. or at least we hope! But sometimes going to the doctors is unavoidable.. so lets talk healthcare! Going to the Doctors is never a fun task, so you can imagine adding a language barrier doesn't make the process any easier and given a recent experience both of us had, we decided to dedicate  this episode to the difference between the famous NHS and the Italian healthcare system that we have discovered so far in our new lives in Italy! Be warned we are talk boobs, smear tests, and for some reason haircuts..  If you want to get involved or let us ..read more
