I get asked a lot about what I like—what makes me light up, what I never say no to. And while the list is probably longer than five, (I couldn’t narrow it down any further!) here are the things that always make me melt and smile.

1. A perfectly made coffee

Rich, strong, and smooth. Bonus points if it’s brought to me in bed while I’m still wrapped in sheets. I’m a much happier lady when I can start the day slowly, one sip at a time.

2. Live music

Music always gets under my skin, no matter the mood. Some nights it’s the moody jazz in a tucked-away club, or acoustic guitar that makes conversation relaxed. Other nights, it’s loud and fast—metal that permeates your soul, rattles your bones, and leaves you buzzing with energy long after the last note.

3. Room service in bed

Warm sheets, a tray balanced between us, and the delicious laziness of not having to move. It doesn’t need to be fancy—sometimes the simplest moments are the sexiest.

4. Getting lost in a city

Laneways, hidden bars, street art, record shops. Wandering without a plan and stumbling across something is so magical.

5. A good laugh

The belly-deep kind that comes out of nowhere. Nothing is more attractive to me than someone who can make me laugh without even trying.

6. Time in nature

The feeling of grass under bare feet, ocean air tangling my hair, or the quiet peace of a bush trail. Nature has a way of slowing everything down and making me feel connected.

7. My wand

Let’s just say… it never fails me. A cheeky little yes that I’ll happily admit to.

Little pleasures. Simple things. But when they’re shared with the right person, they become the kind of memories that stay with you.
