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…
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…
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…
Ever failed at something? I don’t know about you guys, but I have failed heaps of times. But I’ve also tried a lot, too. Relationships, businesses, jobs, friendships, cooking, exercise, smoking, drinking, eating healthy – these are just some of the things I’ve tried, failed at, learnt a lesson from and then tried again. We’re all not perfect, we make mistakes, but the important thing is that we give things a go and always, always look for the lesson. There…
Do you pay attention to the messages the universe sends you? Today, I learned the importance of paying attention. Otherwise, I would have missed this gem on my morning walk. It resonates with me as I previously thought wasteful thoughts that didn’t serve me. I didn’t know they were wasteful, but I did a brilliant short course a while back run by Brahma Kumaris who taught me this and so much more. Now I try to choose my thoughts wisely…
Eat the rainbow … heard of this saying? 🌈🌈🌈 Yeah I know, you’re thinking the skittles ad jingle – “Eat the rainbow, taste the rainbow” – but no, that’s not what I’m referring to. Actually, it couldn’t be further from it. ‘Eat the rainbow’ is a simple way to remind you to eat a wide variety of fruit and vegetables across a range of colours. 🍏🍎🍊🍐🍋🍌🍉🍇🍓🍒🍑🍍🍅🍆🌶🌽🍠 Fruit and vegetables fall into five different colour categories:. Red Purple/blue Orange Green White/brown Each…
How’s your armpit doing? When’s the last time you gave it some love? Odd questions I know, but important ones considering your armpit is home to hundreds of sweat glands that help control your body temperature and work to expel harmful toxins such as cancer cells through lymph nodes from your body through perspiration. There isn’t scientific evidence to back claims that blocking your lymph nodes causes cancer through using chemical-laden deodorants and sprays. I think we can guess why?…
Giving feels good. What can you to do to help someone in need? My hubby turned the big 40 this week. Huge milestone for a great guy. ❤️ He has a rare B+ blood type, with only 10% of Australians with this kind of blood. He donates every few months and this is one of his very few selfie pics, in the name of a great cause. We encourage all those that can to donate to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.…
Anyone drink it or cook with it? Thanks to Matcha Maiden for your amazing sweet treat idea pictured … so pretty! I enjoy a matcha latte when I can find one at a cafe, and I find it a nice alternative to plain tea. My local in Avondale Heights Particle Cinnamon makes an amazing latte. Matcha is finely-ground powder of specially-grown and processed green tea. The green tea plants are shade-grown in the last three weeks before harvest and the…
