It was CHOCOLATE week in the UK last week – and chocolate week is always a good thing! 😋🍫⠀ So to celebrate, we’re sharing our latest gooey chocolatey find.⠀ But before we share the love, did you know that there is a difference between Cocoa and Cacao powder – and one is better than the other?⠀ According to iquitsugar.com, raw cacao powder is made by cold-pressing unroasted cocoa beans. The process keeps the living enzymes in the cocoa and removes…
For quite a while now, I have been trying to live consciously. With intention and positivity. It’s not easy, and sometimes I fail miserably, but when I succeed, I feel in flow and centred. So I keep trying … everyday. So what does it mean to live consciously? Well for me, it means making active, self aware, positive and confident decisions for everything in my life. All the time. With purpose-filled intention. That includes my purchases (especially food and healthcare),…
Some days, weeks and even months can challenge us beyond what we think we can handle. Juggling motherhood and the rest of life’s ups and downs is my challenge right now. But we are stronger than we think. Challenge pushes you to become resilient and find a strength to keep going from depths you didn’t know existed. That’s why I focus on my why, my reason to keep going, my positive pure little beacon of light – my adorable little…
Are you like me and need to tame that frizz and keep your locks well under control? It’s been the story of my life. Flyaways, frizz… I’ve been dealing with it for years. And I have gone through a lot of hairspray cans in my time. Yep, you know the ones – where you have to scrunch your nose, and hold your breath for fear of breathing in and choking, until the hazy residue gently settles all around, all over…
There is a local backyard food growing revolution happening. 👏 Consumers are becoming more and more informed about their food choices and wanting to go back to basics, with many families growing a small patch of veggies. It’s a wonderful way to save money, eat nourishing healthy food and teach your children about gardening in the fresh air. The reality is not everyone has the space or the time to do so. Wouldn’t it be great if you could buy…
Want to give your little ones a healthy snack with a little crunch? 👶🏻 My little Juliet likes variety – just like her mumma (and I’m guessing like most of us). Which means that breakfast and snack time which was previously just soft mushy food wasn’t cutting it once her toothie pegs showed up. I’m not big on processed foods if you haven’t noticed by now, so off I went to the supermarket and chemist shelves to search for organic…
This week is National Organic Week Australia (17-25 September), as part of Organic Awareness month. It started on my birthday which feels a little special to have a cause so close to my heart, fall on a day I won’t forget. I’ve posted previously how I attended a seminar earlier this year run by Therese Kerr from The Divine Company which was part of the catalyst of me starting my writing. The insights she shared on that day were so…
How lovely are these statements? Reading them fills me with a feeling of peace, calm and tranquility. 🙏🏻🍃 And a dawning reality that I have much work to do to feel this way consistently. And I question whether I’ll ever achieve it. One can only strive towards it. I do, however, remember certain moments in my life where I have felt like this. This is my Harmony List – When I consistently exercise, when I regularly meditate, when I eat…
About last night. I turned 40 yesterday and had an incredible night to celebrate with close family and friends. This is me + hubby burning it up on the dance floor on our very rare baby free night. In the lead up and on my birthday, I got countless questions about how it feels to turn 40. Basically, they were asking, do you feel old? 😂 The short answer is no. I don’t feel old. I don’t feel 40. I…
Last week, on Thursday, 8th September, it was RUOK day in Australia. It is run by an Aussie suicide prevention charity inspiring people to meaningfully connect and support those struggling with life. This is a cause very close to my heart, and it got me thinking. Many years ago, I suffered from horrendous panic attacks and I hid my feelings about it and never gave a glimpse to anyone that anything was wrong. So no one knew that they needed…
