This is what I would like my wardrobe to look like, not what it actually looks like ha ha. But I’m striving for it!⠀ So I’ve already shared that I’ve been decluttering our entire home through January in order to clear my mind and be ready for the year ahead. In only a few days, we are back in our design studio and will be in the thick of it. It’s been amazing to clear the junk out of our…
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been on a decluttering binge fest. Thanks, Peter Walsh.⠀ And boy, does it feel good. 😊⠀ Everything is getting cleared out. The spare room (which hubby and I affectionately call “the room no one speaks of”) is currently the dumping ground for everything that doesn’t have a place – it’s getting a massive overhaul. Everything is going that: I haven’t touched in over a year, has long-term dust on it (you know what I’m…
Yay, I’m so excited! I found healthy biscuits for my daughter to snack on…!! ⠀ Ok, I’m going to be honest here. Back in the day, it wasn’t uncommon for me to start my day with a nice strong instant coffee with around 3-4 processed biscuits each morning. That was my breakfast. And I had no idea what I was eating or doing to my body to set myself up for the day. ⠀ When I first started my healthier…
Today I’m channeling positivity through diffusing Lemongrass. I adore citrus flavours, so this one’s a fave of mine. 🌿☺️ Lemongrass has a pungent, herbaceous aroma that can heighten awareness and promote a positive outlook. It can be used in massage therapy diluted with fractionated or solid coconut oil after a workout, which will leave you refreshed and invigorated. 💆🏼 It also naturally repels insects. I love to use Lemongrass in my cooking, too (though I do use the fresh version),…
My daughter gave me such a beautiful gift this morning. This incredible sunrise. Plus a lesson in looking for the positive wherever possible. Though sometimes it’s hard. 🙈 If it wasn’t for her waking early, I would have missed it. Normally, I bitch and moan about resettling her at 5am. 😫 After going to bed at midnight, five hours sleep is just not enough for me. Especially after months of it. But today, in my zombie one eye open, walk through…
Do you love the colour Greenery?⠀ In our design studio, we focus a lot on colour. And this month is a special one, as Pantone released the 2017 colour of the year, Greenery. According to Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute, “It symbolises the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.”⠀ It got me thinking.⠀ ⠀ With 2017 only a few weeks away, it’s a time for reflection on the year past and…
I can’t tell you how much it warms my heart getting feedback where my posts and product recommendations are helping you make healthier buying choices for you and your families.⠀ Rochelle, from Melbourne shared with me, ⠀ “Thanks for putting me onto the Aromababy barrier balm, it’s so much nicer for my little girl than the stuff I was using!”⠀ I just placed my third order this week for my little Juliet – she just turned 16 months. This stuff…
Sundays are for a free-range eggy brekky. 🍳 If you try non-free range eggs and compare eggs from chickens raised in a backyard or farm which free roam, you’ll notice in the free range option: The colour of the yolk will be a vibrant yellow rather than a pale yellow, the taste will be incredible as opposed to bland, and you will know they are better for you as they are fed food scraps, are allowed to free roam to eat…
Want a healthy alternative to your processed aromatic seasonings for your meats and veggies?⠀⠀ For a long time, I had been using powdered chicken, veggie or beef powdered stocks full of anti-caking agents, flavour enhancers and artificial preservatives to season our cooked meals. It tasted so good, but I knew it wasn’t good for us.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ By now you’ve probably worked out, I always look for a better healthier option wherever possible. 😉⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I headed to my trusty Healthy…
Sometimes, you will know the effect you have on someone else’s life … but often, you won’t.⠀ 🍃 You may smile at a stranger in the street, who has just lost their job – they walk away with a little glimmer of hope. ⠀ 🍃 You may tell someone you love them, at the precise moment when they have been having suicidal thoughts and they really need a friend – they walk away feeling loved. ⠀ ⠀ 🍃 You may…
