Festival Fever

Ever since listening to Triple J stream acts live from Splendour in the Grass this year I have been reminiscing about some of my fave festival moments. I love the festival vibe, there’s nothing better than donning on your dress, slapping on a bit sunscreen, having a few drinks and dancing with friends!

Select Your Energy

I’ll be honest, last week was tough! A few rough days a work, priorities shifting (without asking me first!), exercise regime falling by the wayside, a healthy diet non existent and moments with my family miniscule.

I was discussing this with a very good friend of mine who told me to take a step back and “select my energy” for the day. Make time for things that are a priority, then everything else will fall into place. This really hit home for me as my priority is our family, making sure my little man and husband (who is currently nursing a broken collar bone) are OK. I also have a commitment to my job, I love what I do, however it was one of those weeks where everything just seemed to be falling on top of me; I couldn’t breathe under a mountain of clients, paperwork, phone calls, emails & meetings! How do you juggle two very important parts of your life making sure everything and everyone is being attended to 100%!?

Yes, it seems that what I am saying is neither too happy nor pretty, however I think the most important thing I have taken from last week, is that we MUST take time to remember what makes us smile and what inspires us, as this will help us get through all of those moments that seem too hard!

So, I have made a promise to myself, that when the little things are getting on top of me, I will take a step back, take a deep breathe, look at what’s in front of me, select how my energy can be best spent and just tackle each day as best I can!

Some images which have set me on a positive path this week…..

A Hippy at Heart

While relaxing at the end of each yoga class I always seem to conjure up my dream home! Whether it’s my mind in a “zen” like state or the sounds of Gurrumul in the background I find myself dreaming of big decks, wind chimes, incense, record players, throw rugs & pillows, a big wooden dining table, wine cellar, open fire & a vege patch. All of this would be situated in the Byron hinterland, close to where my husband & both grew up. I don’t think I am asking too much am I? J

I always leave thinking to myself, right that’s it, pack the house up Evan, where moving to the country!

While I love all that city living offers; bars, restaurants, music, art, festivals....I'm honestly a bit of a hippy at heart & I look forward to living the simple life x

Milk with one sugar please….

A simple cup of tea can bring so much pleasure to your day; well that’s how I feel anyway!

Whether it’s a blend of lemongrass & ginger, a pot of brewed chai, a relaxing jasmine, modern liquorice, a cleansing green or a classic English breakfast a cup can certainly turn a gloomy day into one of beauty.

To be enjoyed day or night, in a dainty cup or generous mug, with friends or a private moment on your own; what’s not to love!!

Do you have a favourite blend or taste? How do you take yours?
