Sisterhood Night on the 1st December had been much anticipated with constant reminders 'who's excited for Sisterhood?' since my first visit to Hillsong! And when the day finally arrived, it was an emotional - in the most positive sense.
On one of my walks around the bohemian area of Santa Teresa, I stumbled upon TUCUM Brasil - a store dedicated to showcasing produce made by ingenious people of Brazil.

I'm starting an exciting new venture which will take me around the world... This time through the perspective of a curious 6 year old girl!
