Skys the limit…..or is it?
Flying Solo: From 30,000 Feet to Ground-Level Dreams Let’s be real—2012 was like that turbulent flight nobody wants to remember, but somehow we all made it to our destination with stories to tell! It was one of those years where the universe decided to shake things up for everyone, and honey, did it ever deliver some personal growth served with a side of “what the hell am I doing with my life?” For me, 2012 was all about learning where to draw the line and actually listening to that little voice inside (you know, the one that’s usually drowned out by Netflix and self-doubt). The outcome? Absolutely stunning. But let…

The Ritual of Tea
A Pot of Tea and the Soul of Ritual “Tea is the magic key to the vault where my brain is kept.” – Frances Hardinge There’s something exquisitely elegant about the ritual of brewing a pot of tea. It’s slow. Intentional. Nurturing for the soul. One of my all-time favourites? Rose tea—whether it’s rose petal or rose bud, it’s packed with Vitamin C and gently lulls you into a peaceful, dreamy sleep. Here’s a little something I wrote about what tea means to me. Pour yourself a cup and settle in… The Soul of Tea “Tea is quiet and our thirst for tea is never far from our craving for…

A Breath of Fresh Air
Ease Off the Accelerator, Darling – Life’s Not a Race! Let’s be real: it’s human nature to go against the grain every now and then. We push the boundaries, we test the limits, and just like curious little kids, we poke the bear to see what happens. Sometimes, we create habits—some fab, some not-so-fab—without even realising it. And before we know it, those habits start affecting our happiness, health, and whole vibe. But guess what? That’s totally normal… just not always helpful. Every now and then, we need a good old-fashioned reassessment. A pause. A moment to check in with ourselves and ask, “Hey love, how am I doing, really?”…

The good oil
The Good Oil on Living Naturally (and Loving It!) As a naturally-focused therapist (Dip. Shiatsu & Oriental Therapies), I’m forever on the hunt for products that are pure, effective, and without all the rubbish. Sadly, our food laws — supposedly there to protect us — don’t always hit the mark. Why? Because, my friend, money talks. That means it’s up to us to get smart about where our products come from and what’s in them. It’s not always easy — finding good, honest products can feel like an endless treasure hunt. But for me, it’s a passion. And when I find something that ticks all the boxes, I want to…

My Wild Health Journey: From Drama Queen to Wellness Warrior
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” – Carl Rogers Hey gorgeous souls! So here I am, fresh out of my own little health drama (and wow, was it a production!), and I’ve had the most amazing lightbulb moment that honestly made me want to laugh and cry at the same time. Ready for this? I was part of the problem! Yep, you heard that right. Little old me, thinking I had all my ducks in a row, was actually sabotaging myself. Talk about a plot twist! When Perfect Isn’t So Perfect My life looked pretty darn amazing from the…
