I remember when I first started my yoga practice around 8 or so years ago now, which was a combination of tai chi, pilates and yoga. The soulful Liana from Akari Yoga & Fitness ran classes near me at the time (I highly recommend you look her up both online and if you’re near Kyneton). It was a time I had a racing mind pretty much constantly and needed to find a way to calm it the F down,…
I LOVE drinking tea. Which might sound odd, considering I’m of Italian heritage and coffee is deeply entrenched in our culture and family way of life. I don’t mind coffee occasionally, I just much prefer tea. ⠀ Tea makes me feel relaxed, peaceful, happy, chilled and is perfect shared with a friend. It seems to soothe any conversation and help heal the soul.⠀ I don’t mind what flavour either … which was great considering on my last visit to Healthy…
With love anything is possible.💚 After all, it’s one of the needs we need to survive, according to Maslow’s hierarchy.⠀ Love yourself.⠀ Love your body.⠀ Love your mind.⠀ Love your spirit.⠀ Love your family.⠀ Love your friends.⠀ Love your home.⠀ Love your work.⠀ Love today.⠀ Love life.⠀ ⠀ Rinse & repeat.…
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…
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),…
Is your life peaceful?⠀ A peaceful life, inside and out. ⠀ ⠀ We all strive for it. Sometimes we experience it, other times, we don’t. ⠀ And it all comes down to our mind, and the choices we make for it.⠀ ⠀ Mindfulness is a therapeutic practice of focusing on the present moment and calmly acknowledging and accepting your feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations.⠀ ⠀ Many of us live our lives allowing situations and our minds to master us and…
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…
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…
Practice gratitude. Easier said than done, hey? How can you be grateful when life throws you curve balls, when relationships are rocky, when your kids have been up all night, when your husband has man-flu, when you lose your job, when you’re down to your last $50, when you don’t feel well, when life is just tough? Gratitude is actually the thing we must do in moments like these. It’s the one thing that reminds us that someone else is…
