Hey you busy mum, slow down and make time to self love.

By Minimalist, Self Love, Slow Down
Reduce your feelings of rush and trying to fit it all in. Initiate your self love process instead!  Does that sentence give you goosebumps? Maybe it sounds like an impossible? Perhaps your mind simply wanders there in gentle curiosity, as a nudge to you to start thinking about concentrating more on yourself? A possible?  Being a mother, we know it can be easy to slip into a space where you hardly get time for you…

Listen Up! Your House Is Asking For A Homely Renovation.

By DIY, Home Renovation, Slow Down
Do you adore your home and like me, little by little, love to pretty it up? Having a home which is gently and lovingly upgraded, reflecting you and your inner world is an absolute blessing I believe. This is all possible even if you are the owner of the house you dwell in or in some cases, even if you are not. Significant changes in your home can be either small or large; cost the…

The must do money thing.

By Self Love
When it all feels like it's crashing in ... The morning I shockingly discovered (omit any discussion) I was financially frozen out of all my money and all that I had been tirelessly working for, was right before heading to school for drop off. Fear intensely took over. Glacier still I stood, I was terrified to every inch. My life raced before me. F$%* my mind screeched and mapped! How would I put petrol in…

Behind the scenes – living large with less.

By Slow Down
Living large with less? What does it mean for you? Lets have a look.   I overheard someone say the other day … “I am doing this challenge with a friend at the moment; neither of us are buying a single new item of clothing in 2019. I have way too many clothes and too much stuff anyway, I don’t need anything else. I just need to simplify” she drifted off. This could mean living large…

A 6 figure salary. Overnight to nothing.

By Home Renovation, Minimalist
The #1 secret of living large with less. Terror took over. My (financial) future looked frightening. In an instant I thought “if my personal losses weren’t enough already, why now this professionally too?” and “how on earth will me and my kiddies afford to eat?” Never afraid to put my nose down and bum up, I have always been a working mama, juggling the juggles. A once encouraging and thriving career in I.T. travelling the globe…

By Slow Down, Yoga
Learn what you can do about it. I was wondering if you answer yes to any of these questions … Do you often feel like you are rushing to do it all? Do you often feel like you are wound up like a spring? Do you often feel like you are in a daily battle to try and keep up? Is it possible that YES has been your answer to all of these?! You know,…

3 Simple Steps. Jog On Through Adversity.

By Yoga
“Jog On. No One's Comin” A few years ago a friend of mine used this term to describe how he kept moving forward through major adversity he was experiencing in his life. Together we belly laughed over the phrase and its meaning. He didn’t mean it like it sounds, that he had no one to support him on that journey. Personal and professional support is key to getting through the tough stuff. He meant, it's…

What Would You Tell Your Younger Self?

By Minimalist
For 26 years, I have been a hairdresser. I have held other amazing roles during my career, including traveling internationally in a global educating I.T. one. I have experienced career thrills and highs and the feeling of “oh yeah, I am FINALLY going somewhere!” I have also experienced absolute and complete professional loss too, as in no job, no money, no seemingly visual way forward. I know what it’s like to be starting from scratch…

What’s With All The Horses

By Slow Down
I know right, so far they are everywhere on both my site and my feed! Can I have ANY photos without them?! Well, yeah, sure, totally I can, but these photos you are seeing of me and my horses are one of those things that has been pivotal in this journey of mine and they have kinda resulted naturally in forming the flavour of me here. Despite a 10 year break during the 90’s while…

If It’s Going To Be It’s Up To Me!

By Minimalist, Slow Down
I was starting to feel that even though we could have very happily spent the rest of our days in our beautiful retro old girl caravan we fondly call Evie, camped out on my gorgeous sister’s rural property, that it was time to consider where to next for us. Geographically, the run between school, my new work and where our horses were was fairly time consuming. I was very grateful and happy to do it,…
