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…
OMG A certified organic fast food chain. Yep, it’s REAL people. Are you like me and have driven around feeling hungry and thought, I’d just love to get some fast food that wasn’t the usual crap? I have … plenty of times … and I kept dreaming as I paid for some soggy Maccas salad option. Enter Oliver’s Real Food.

I love lemon, so I use a whole wedge and plonk it into a mug of boiling water and allow it to cool a bit before sipping it. The documented benefits of drinking lemon water are far and wide, but the greatest benefit comes from drinking the water itself – which flushes the body’s digestive…
I happened to buy different wrap brands over the last week and had them both out for lunch as I finished off one pack. They were sitting there staring at me, and I decided to read the ingredient listings. I was shocked – I thought wraps were like bread so they should have things like bread, flour, water, seeds, yeast etc. The brand on the left has over 16 different ingredients including preservatives which I try to avoid wherever possible…
This is where it all began. December 2nd 2015, Melbourne Australia. Oprah was in Melbourne for a flying visit for two nights only – the first was sold out. My bestie called the day before the final show, to say the last tickets were going on sale right now and did I want to go. Did I want to see Oprah? Of course I did.
