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),…
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…
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…
A natural deodorant spray that actually works? I found one!!! And it’s in the most divine packaging ever. Double tick! Natural deodorants absorb moisture without blocking under arm glands and neutralise body odour by eliminating bacteria. A while I ago, I posted about how I use Black Chicken Remedies – a paste based deodorant and it works great! I still highly recommend it. Since then (and for a long time before), I’ve been on the hunt for a spray version also…
I adore this saying and Wayne Dyer. I’ve watched his movies and listened to his mesmerizing voice meditations over and over. I think I stick with him because he simplifies life for me through his insights. When I heard this quote in his movie, The Shift, (highly recommend!), I thought about how it’s so easy to get stuck in the rat race, doing the same thing, day in, day out. Not living your song. You keep doing it, deep inside…
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. Now, I haven’t had the pleasure of trying Oliver’s yet, as unfortunately, there aren’t any stores located near me yet…
Are you a seafood lover? 🐟 Yep, me too. My mum’s side of the family comes from a small Italian fishing village, so you could say the sea and eating seafood is in our blood. On our recent trip away, we were lucky to enjoy a beautiful seafood platter caught by local fisherman delivered to our door. So yum! They promoted the support of locally-caught fish in their marketing, and being an ex-corporate marketer, I always pay attention to the…
Ever been in an earthquake? Neither had we, until a few days ago. And what a crazy, shaky experience it was! It was around 2.30pm on Hamilton Island and I was just finishing up giving Juliet a leisurely late lunch in our 11th floor apartment when everything started shaking. And I mean everything. At first it was a slow rumble and then it built in momentum, to the point that the hanging light shade was swinging side to side and…
