Writer · Wonderer · Weirdo

Flytrap makes smart people laugh, think, and thrive. With a diverse blog, a curious shop and loads of weird ideas, it’s a place to think different and have fun at the same time.

First things first

What is this nonsense?

I’m a middle-aged woman who helps people see the world through a sharper, yet kinder, lens. Writer by passion and designer by accident, I share dubious ideas in wellness, relationships and cultivating happiness as I accelerate toward death.

Have a look around

Why would you care?

You’ll find lifestyle content related to body, mind, difficult people, home decor, food, books, and everyday adventures (among other things). I create whatever I want and hope it helps someone be happier, wiser, and more fulfilled.

Bio

Who is this person?

I live in the USA with my husband (Leo) and two ferocious dogs. If I’m lucky enough to get old, I plan to be happy, sharp and spry when I do it. I enjoy reading, learning, hiking, kayaking, travel, weird food, cooking, entertaining, and big ideas.

None of these photos are of me. But they do look nothing like me.
